    Review by paulbmann in course Rossville Park

    2.50 star(s) Gold Alternate Layout Is Best Gold Alternate layout has some variety: 4 hyzer shots, 3 anhyzer (or sidearm) shots, 2 straight shots, 2 about 300 ft, 1 over 400 ft. Open and not-so-open holes. Out-of-bounds makes it more challenging. Good Innova Discatcher baskets. Restrooms available...

    Newbie Mid range recommendations

    Mako3 (5/5/0/0) Mako3. Good for beginners and pros. A straight flyer, not overstable, not too understable. Very comfortable grip. Try a weight of about 175g, not 180, unless you are throwing far. Paul McBeth throws one and recommends it for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYAzmJhGofs

    Review by paulbmann in course Zilker Park

    3.50 star(s) Very Well Done Very large tee pads, well maintained, well designed, sense of fairways, slightly hilly, easy to find someone to play with, many players using the course. Holes are variable in length and amateur friendly, but some holes are 325-375 ft. which I like. Variety of shots is required...

    Review by paulbmann in course Water Works Park

    4.00 star(s) Great Hills and Trees Downhill shots, great opportunity to go hiking up and down, beautiful views from the top. One hole (#13) punishes you for not being able to throw 350 ft. Seems to favor the 350 foot thrower a little too much. Lack of two-drive holes. I wish I lived near this course.

    Review by paulbmann in course Jones Park - East

    4.00 star(s) Beautiful and Well Designed. Well designed course, variety of shots, championship level holes, some two-drive holes, rolling hills, lake, green grass, just the right amount of trees, good fairways, restrooms. Not beginner friendly, holes are on the longish side. I heard they are putting in some...

    Review by paulbmann in course La Mirada Regional Park - Front 18

    4.50 star(s) Great Championship Course Hills, lake, trees (but not too many), well maintained, restrooms, pro shop, 36 holes, great fairways, variety of shots, two-drive holes. Could have a few more short holes. Seems to cater to 400 ft throwers, 325 ft throwers will be at a disadvantage.

    Review by paulbmann in course Champions Landing

    4.00 star(s) Great Course Has two-drive holes, hills, trees (but not too many), has a variety of shots, water hazards, clubhouse, restrooms and more. Some holes are too open, but that's what you get on a ball-golf course. Cost is $10 per round.

    Review by paulbmann in course Longview DGC

    1.00 star(s) Like to hit trees? Good exercise. There are some good holes here, about 3. Extreme lack of fairways. Many small and large trees between the teepads and the baskets, randomly placed and too close together. If you think that disc golf is about who is lucky enough to miss the trees, then you'll...

    Review by paulbmann in course Jackson Park - 18

    1.00 star(s) Where's the fairway? Beautiful park. Holes 1, 5, 18 are good. 18 is my favorite. Restrooms available. Nice pavilion on the hill. Good parking. Not many fairways. Trees and hills, but not much sense of fairways here. Tall grass, thick leaves, short teepads, lack of benches. Mando trees in...

    [Innova] Innova Shryke

    DDx, D3, Bolt ... I think the DDx, D3 and Bolt were filling the gap in the Innova line-up. So now comes the Shryke to prevent people from buying non-Innova discs. The GStar Tern cannot be thrown into a wind. The GStar Boss cannot provide distance for players who don't throw over 350...

    Review by paulbmann in course Peter Pan Park - Optimist DGC

    1.00 star(s) Lose your discs here, get tick bites. Good tee signs. Flat terrain, trees close to the baskets (too close), course favors 350' low very accurate drives. Tees are too narrow (only 3 feet wide). Just not much fun. Play Jones East or the Emporia Country Club course, much better.

    Review by paulbmann in course Wyandotte County Park

    2.00 star(s) Distance Contest Mostly Good tee signs with distance to the basket well marked. Good concrete pads and very large. Nice benches. Seems to be designed for 450-foot throwers. The tree locations seemed to be random without providing real fairways. When you do find a fairway on some holes the...
