3.50 star(s) needs a lot of work EDIT: See my updates EDIT: See my updates - ORIGINAL PROS: This course is the second closest for me, so I had to eventually visit it. The pictures on the course site show that it was originally pretty nice, and if it actually was kept up to that state, I would visit it...

My home course (a 9 hole) is only 2009 ft (avg = 223 ft/hole), but par is 32! http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1492&mode=hi I brought a friend out once who had never played disc golf before, and he got a 29 or 30 on his very first time around. I wasn't nearly that good as a...

4.00 star(s) Excellent course for amateurs In spite of some of the negative reviews, I love this course. I don't have great distance, but the majority of us don't. For a casual player like myself, this course is excellent. The main theme of this course is up or down hills, with tall trees as obstacles in...

2.00 star(s) A practice course. The only upside to this course is that it is the only one in the area. For this reason, I've played it more than 100 times (Some summers, I've played twice a week, and usually through 2x or 3x on each visit.) The other good thing I can say about it is that you cannot lose...

1.00 star(s) Poorly planned course This course is complete, and new. There are 9 tees, and 9 baskets. The tees are concrete, which is nice. The baskets are disccatchers, and are in excellent condition. The course is never crowded. There's a nice bridge near hole 1, and there is plans for 1 or 2 more nice...

4.00 star(s) Great combination of variety and challenge NOTE: Even though this review is dated as 2010, I have re-written most of it based on my play in August of 2011 :) This course has a core group of local golfers that have really invested a lot. Most of the work has been done through volunteer time, by...

I hope that you're right. I'll give that a try, because as it stands right now, it is the most overstable disc I've ever thrown.

I just got my King, and can't really throw it right. It's too overstable for a weak arm like mine. It feels like I could have monster throws with it though, if I could just keep it from fading early. FWIW, I use a Surge for distance normally. The Katana is too flippy, and I find the Nuke...

2.50 star(s) Worth stopping if you are in the area This is a pretty typical city park course. There are a few trees as obstacles, but not enough to frustrate a new player. There is ample parking, bathrooms, and garbage cans. There are nice concrete tees, although they are a bit short. Signs at each tee...

3.50 star(s) A well-designed course in a multipurpose park. This course was just remade in June of 2009. Each hole has two tees (A and B), and both are concrete. The holes are probably Mach 4s, so a bit of accuracy is needed in putting. The best aspect of this course is the variety. Some hole use...

3.50 star(s) Wild course, great experience It's been a few years since I played this, but it was one of the best disc golf experiences I've ever had. If I lived closer, I would come to this course all the time. The open holes give the player a lot of freedom. I don't have the arm needed to appreciate...

2.00 star(s) Nice for park visitors Even though I've been to Kickapoo State Park many times for camping and canoeing, I've never noticed the disc golf course. I decided to check it out because I saw it here, and obviously didn't expect much. What I found was a nicely kept course, designed for the average...

4.00 star(s) Terrific course in the woods Great tees and baskets. Everything is kept in great shape, and there's even a nice practice hole. Good variety of shots: There's doglegs in both directions, and good use of elevation and obstacles. You can tell that a lot of care went into designing these holes...

1.50 star(s) Better than nothing I liked the peaceful look of this course. I didn't see another soul while playing, and the landscaping is kept up rather nicely. The pond, although not an obstacle, is at least pretty. There are a few elevation changes that are nice. Some of the trees are really in the...
