1.50 star(s) Good Practice Course When Empty It\'s the only one in West Maui and only one of a few on the entire island. I appreciate the work local players have put into making this course available. They made the best of limited resources and space. It\'s not a great course. Some have written it is a...

4.50 star(s) The Perfect Course Design for the Location I rate my courses on context. What kind of park is it? Who is likely to be using the course? etc... As such, this course is about perfect. The Valley is located in a residential area, but utilizes a portion of a very large green space/park. While...

1.50 star(s) Poorly Designed, but has a lot of potential There are really not a lot of positive things to say about this course aside from locale and a handful of challenging holes. It is the only disc golf course located in Plano, a city with over a quarter of a million people. So, this course serves as...

3.50 star(s) Off the beaten path, but worth the visit This course is a hidden gem in Southeastern Minnesota. The scenery alone makes it worth the trip. The course utilizes the bluffs surrounding the SMU campus. This offers a wide range of fairway layouts ranging from shorter tree weaving shots to a 500'+...

2.50 star(s) Good Practice Course Good use of small space and limited natural landscape. Well groomed. Great for beginner disc golfers and people working on their game. Tee boxes are a bit small and some have underlayment sticking up through the mulch. But, only one hole is really long enough to require...

4.00 star(s) Challenging course, if you know the local rules This is a well designed course in a great park. It almost has a Midwestern feel as it plays very long and sits on flat land playing over a small creek with huge hardwood trees (mostly cottonwood). The pins and pads are very high quality and...

3.50 star(s) Local Club Course A disc golf only course is always a pleasure to play. Amenities include a nice practice area with a practice pin and a driving area. The welcome sign/area is kept up to date with course and tournament info etc... The pads and pins are high quality. A lot of thought has...

3.00 star(s) Great Family Course This is what I would call the perfect family park disc golf course. The layout is simple; the holes are fairly short with only a few obstacles on each hole. The park is extremely well kept and the baskets/tees are in great condition. The holes weave their way around the...

3.00 star(s) College Town Disc Golf Course This course has nice tee pads and baskets. The scenery is awesome just below the flat irons and the local (resident, not student) disc golfers are helpful and have a passion for the sport. The practice basket area is nice too. It is open from one side and has...

2.50 star(s) A great view, could use some layout changes I had stated in my Westminster DGC review that Westminster had the best view of the Front Range, but that was before I played Matney. You can see from beyond Pikes Peak to beyond Longs Peak. It is breathtaking. The low rock features greatly improve...

3.00 star(s) Great nine hole course I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this course. The views of the Foothills and Table Mountain are great. The course has a variety of hole types: short with trees, wide open over grass and some over mountain vegetation. It requires a lot of thought and shot types for...

3.50 star(s) A shadow of its former self... This course has a great set-up. It sits in a bowl next to Lake Dillon surrounded by mountains. There is water, trees, technical drives and great views. The tee pads, signs and baskets are good quality. It also has character with various regional "art" placed...

2.50 star(s) Simple, Convenient and Relaxing course Water Works Park is conveniently located a short drive from downtown. It is part of a huge urban open space and is essentially a disc golf only area. It is very flat terrain with mowed grass fairways and huge shady walnut trees spread out throughout the...

1.50 star(s) Potential This is a nice little course to play a quick round on if you happen to be passing by or live in the area. The course is mowed and can be completed in less than 25 minutes. It is rarely crowded. There are a few nice technical shots around trees. The holes are short enough for...

4.00 star(s) Badlands, Good Course This is an excellent course. It is hard to find a course this big that is so well maintained. The fairways are mowed. The tees and baskets are in good shape. The course features long downhill drives and short winding shots through trees. The first time I played this...
