Bad 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is located in a small town park and is close to a school. I'd like to believe it exposes disc golf to new group of people. There are scattered trees and is a good beginner course. There is no place to lose discs unless you throw into the pond. Park near the small building with restrooms. Hole #1's basket is the one closest to the pond.

Near one of the baskets there is a plaque in the ground where Richard Nixon spoke on 09-22-60

The baskets have the number on the pole.

The scout group put a lot of time building the baskets. Search "Build your own Disc Golf Basket Target Easy & Practical" on ebay. These are the plans that were used.

Cons:

There are no marked tee pads or signs. Once we found the baskets we made up our own tees.

Although I give an A for effort on the construction of baskets they are in bad shape. Some chains are not hanging properly and need some maintenance. They were intsalled very high so you are putting up compared to a standard disc golf basket. They went cheap on the chains and got smaller ones. They don't catch all that well.

Other Thoughts:

Do not travel out of your way to play this course.

I actually made one of these baskets in 2001 prior to some of the newer cheaper portable options. At the time it was a pretty good option. Now i'd suggest just buying a cheaper portable offered by innova or dga.
