short, no teepads, not well maintained

could use some love/ renovations to maybe turn this into something worth visiting every once in a while. extra land that could be converted to add some distance and make it a bit more interesting.

- This course is clearly designed to be a beginner course, with nothing over 200 feet in length. There is decent length variety I suppose.
- The terrain is very beautiful to walk through.
- Tee signs are serviceable, with hole number and distance.

- The Discatcher baskets are nice, but the chains aren't galvanized and are already really rusty!
- No teepads, only tee signs.
- No obstacles other than tall grass and other park users.
- Navigation is not intuitive, hole 3 is across a bridge from hole 2, and holes 7-9 are way off by the soccer field.
- The next tee signs are often right in the circle of the previous basket, so that is a safety issue.
- Another safety issue in having most holes (2, 4, 5, 7-9) right next to another park amenity. It was not busy when I played, but if anybody else is in the park you can forget about playing all 9 holes.
- The parks department does not trim the (EXTREMELY TALL) prairie grass nearly deep enough. Most of the holes' baskets are within 5-10 feet of thick, deep rough full of thistles and thorny bushes.

Overall, this course does a pretty terrible job of introducing the sport to beginners. I can forgive the short distances, but the terrible rough being so close to baskets is the hugest offense. Beginners will have to search through waist-high, very thick grass and thistles for their discs on nearly every hole, an almost sure way to have them never play again. Add that to the safety concerns, and this course is not worth your time. Play Mary Beth Doyle in Ann Arbor instead if you're looking for a beginner course.

- Good course for beginners
- Innova Discatchers. Older, but still 2 layer chains and catch well

- Completely. Wide. Open. And the longest hole is marked at 200'.
- No teepads. Just throw from the wooden sign post. Most of the tee areas were within the circle from the previous basket.
- Park was pretty torn up when I was there. Not sure if it was a brand new park or if they were running some sort of underground lines recently.

I brought my bag out of the car because I wasn't sure what to expect at the first tee. I played the whole round with a Rhyno, and I'm a Novice-rated player.

I get that this is a beginner course (IMO, best suited for small children and the clumsy/unathletic), but the purpose here is to rate against all the other courses I've played. Until we make a special rating system for these types of courses, my 1.0 will stand.

That said, there is more challenge at my local elementary school course.

- Signage
- Parking
- Clean play- no serious rough/ivy. Should be playable year-round
- Good for teaching someone to play, kids, families

- Very short, and completely open so it has no use for experienced players, but that's not what it's for.
- May be wet when raining/snow melting

This is a beginner course, an open short putter toss for most.
