An Interesting Disc Golf Course on a Ball Golf Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 15, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is unique in that it's located on a ball golf course. Most of the disc golf holes are located on or right next to the ball golf fairways, but there are a few that are farther out on the rough, giving you more obstacles to deal with, like trees, weeds, and bushes. Although a lot of the holes are pretty open, there are some trees here and there that come into play on most of them, preventing you from having an easy straightforward shot at the basket. Most of the holes are pretty long, and that makes them more challenging to play. There are signs at each tee pad that are real nice looking and also helpful. Also, because this is on a ball golf course, the grass is very well maintained.

Cons:

Too many of the holes are wide open with very few obstacles to worry about. It seems like the course tried to make up for this issue by making most of the holes real long. This gets tiring after awhile, playing one long hole after the other. What's funny is that a few of the shorter holes actually have room to be a little longer, and they would've benefited from that because it would've made them more challenging in a good kind of way. There are a few holes in which the baskets have some obstacles nearby, but those obstacles aren't close enough to be a factor, so overall there are some missed opportunities for this course to be more challenging to play. Also, I can understand why this course would charge people to play, but it seems a little too pricey. Finally, it's a bit of a turn off that there aren't cement tee pads, but it's understandable for a place like this since it's on a ball golf course (it does help that, because it's on a golf course, the ground is flat and grassy, and that the grass is kept short). It would still be nice though if they could at least mark out the tee pads in a way in which people know exactly where to stand when teeing off.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, this is a decent course to play because it has a few good layouts and the course is very well kept. The biggest problem is that a lot of the holes are real long and mostly open. I suppose if you're going to play a long course, you don't want to deal with a bunch of obstacles, unless you're a more experienced player with a strong arm. It's nice that they give you the option to use a golf cart (although I guess in this case it would be called a disc golf cart) because this long course requires a lot of walking. You do have to pay extra for the cart though just like you would in ball golf.
