Decent for the town size 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 14, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Quiet course
Good flow
Concrete pads, good baskets

Cons:

Most holes are unimaginative
Location and layout cause many holes to have standing water/mud well into summer
Mowing is infrequent
Course has been updated but signs have not

Other Thoughts:

If you're in the area and want to play 9 holes, it's not bad. It's fairly non-memorable and can get repetitive easily.

Quick, decent, local 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 10, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Quick, clean course
Some long shots, some difficulty
Cement tees, DGA baskets
Wind adds challenge, bring your stable discs for crazy anhyzer shots

Cons:

Grass can get long and then mowed and left on the course.....soggy after rain.

Fisherman along the river park along the course on a couple of holes making them unplayable.

Other Thoughts:

The area along the river is nice, I really like holes 2-4

Meh 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Cement tees
-Not a busy park
-Pretty nice
-No other people

Cons:

-Possibly the worse bugs I have ever dealt with. They attacked through my 40 percent deet bug spray.
-Many chances to lose a disc and I did happen to lose my firebird on hole 7 after an hour of searching. I will pay someone if they happen to find a pearly orange x-out firebird on hole 7.
-The signs are pathetic. They always show a blob and the basket located somewhere within that. It is never descriptive. I recommend a spotter.

Other Thoughts:

I wanted to enjoy my stay here. I couldn't find the first tee and it never got better from there. The bugs were horrible and the layout was worse. The signs said every hole was straight but they were curved every which way. It was very easy to lose a disc in the long grass or ponds like I did and the layout was pretty average.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 9, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

* Holes 3 and 4 are great for grip and rip
* Well kept up on the grass length
League play
* Great for a quick round while driving through

Cons:

* Little challenge
* Holes 3 - 9 are all straight with little elevation change

Other Thoughts:

Hole 1 curves to the right after you throw through some trees. After that it is an open area. Hole 2 the pin is hidden behind some trees. All the other pins are in the open with little challenge

Not Amazing but at least it's there's a course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 1, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great Area for disc golf with River nearby and a few trees. Cement Tee Boxes. good flow. Mach 3 Baskets

Cons:

Poorly constructed Tee boxes (holes 2-9 are perpendicular to the basket) Many similar straight holes with little elevation change.

Other Thoughts:

many open, straight holes are great for beginners but don't require a great deal of creativity or skill.
