Skip at all costs 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 13, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

New baskets

Cons:

Most poorly laid out course I've ever seen. People walking through the fairways, rollerblade paths crossing fairways, the skate park mentioned by others.

No tee boxes at all. Just a single post in the lawn indicating where to shoot from. Not even a patch of dirt.

Other Thoughts:

You may be thinking this course is worth playing once. It is not. Skip this course at all costs.

Downriver Discers Deserve Better! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 6, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Clean park, decent baskets, tee markers are crude, but effective aid to navigation.

Halfway decent mix of distances, makes good use of some trees to force a few lines and keep you honest.

Another course for an area that hasn't got many. From the number of homes nearby, I expect this place to get a decent amount of action once word about it gets around.

The DG itself isn't bad, but the layout and non-DG traffic in a tight park detract from the experience. (see Other Thoughts below).

Cons:

New course is spread out all over a relatively small, busy, well established, multi-use park. Other park users seem completely oblivious to the fact that thay are walking through or along a "fairway."

Hole 6 is a disaster WAITING to happen: Fairly long, straight hole with a skate park situated approx halfway down, maybe 60' to the left of the fairway... with prevailing winds blowing in that direction... I cannot stress how well this is positioned to catch overstable disc that gains too much altitude. It's simply a matter of time before a skater gets Destroyed, Nuked, or attacked by a Ninja. Wanted to list this above under 'pros,' but thought I'd hold off on that until they until they set up a camera and link to YouTube so we can all watch the ensuing melee.

Close proximity to ball fields - probably unwise (if not impossible) to play a couple of the holes during a game.

Would be nice to include distance on tee posts.

Other Thoughts:

Rating the course strictly on the merit of how well it plays from a disc golf perspective, I'd give it a 1.5, but this course doesn't exist in a vacuum. Given it's lay-out, the volume of mutli-use traffic, and the overall environment, I have to drop it to 0.5.

I'm honestly surprised this course has survived with everything in the current configuration. I simply don't see how tight confines and mult-use settings will work together. Reminds me a lot of Brys Park, only smaller - they had to compromise to put a course there, too.

Have to say Riverview Grasslands (3 miles away) is a better alternative if you're in the area. Not much else worth saying other than locals can play here for a change of pace, or when played in combo with Riverview, you have a full 18 holes.
