Nice but needs better signage and more obstacles 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 28, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

good baskets
few pedestrians
long holes
very windy

Cons:

few obstacles
bad signage
very windy

Other Thoughts:

I've played the course a few time over the last few years, I only ever play it if I happen to be in the area, I feel it's not worth a long commute. The biggest issues are absolute lack of elevation and only very few obstacles, most shots are wide open with only a few hedges, some mandos and a little bit OB. The course definitely benefits from being 18 holes now, it used to be only 15.

Hedges and trees are slowly growing, so obstacles get a little bit better over time but it will still take many years for them to become challenging.

The course tends to be very windy, so it's a good course to learn how to play in such conditions, you definitely should pack more stable than understable discs.

What's really a pity is the lack of good signage. It's impossible to play the course in its intended layout without a printed or downloaded map, I often find myself searchign for a teepad or wondering which of the baskets on the fairway is the one for this hole. The course would benefit immensly from a touchup in this regard.

I believe the grass is fairly regularly cut, although when I played last time (April 28th 2019), there were many areas of high grass which made tooking for discs quite tedious at times, despite the flat area.

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 10, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is located in the center of Neuss inside a racetrack for horses.
The location is pretty unique and it is not crowded at all.

Playing here can be challenging with some OB's, an island and some mandos.
Having a big arm will give you some advantage here.

The layout is pretty good with a nice flow and the baskets were in good condition as well as the fairways.
No tall grass when i played.
You can park right next to the track for free.

Cons:

Personally this course is to flat and to callow for me. The lack of elevation as well as big trees as obstacles was considerable.

Throwing far is the major challenge here. Many holes are open shots without
any or few obstacles.

There were no tees or teesigns but embedded stones with numbers. Navigating can be difficult here for the first time. You should bring the course map as i couldnt find one at the entrance or anywhere else.

Some areas were quite dirty (a local told me that birds are picking out of the trashcans).
The course can be closed during events (horse race).

Other Thoughts:

I was missing hills and trees, some tight fairways for more thrill. Nevertheless this course is worth to play when you are in that area.
The layout is pointet more towards advanced players.
You can train your accuracy in distance here.

Nice, but not challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Despite the small area that they have had to fit the course in, the holes work very well and make good use of the possibilities offered.

Mostly very open and flat terrain combined with holes that are of average length make the course suitable for players of many different skill levels.

All the holes are designed so that it is clear where the fairways are. In part that is what makes the course a pleasure to play.

Cons:

Throwing 80-100 meters accurately is always a challenge - but that is unfortunately the only kind of challenge that Neuss offers. A pro-level player should expect to birdie every hole.

Other Thoughts:

Close to the center, cafe and toilets at the horse track.

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 26, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course in the middle of a horse track, fast play and potential to score really low. Chances for aces happen early on from holes 2-4 and then on holes 9-11

Cons:

No real cons here other than the rain we had all round long, keeping my disc dry was a problem

Other Thoughts:

This is my second course I have played in Germany and I look forward to playing more in the future

Neuss 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 31, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Another great design by H. Wahrmann! This guy really knows how to design. The layout of the course is a great usage of the land, which is basically only for disc golf. There's a few other amenities like playgrounds and volleyball fields, but it's basically just DG. The course flows very well and is very fun and fair. I played it 3 times in a row and I would have played a few more rounds but the group I was with had to go. The course is very unique because it's in the middle of a horse race track, which means you should definitely expect to see horses flying around the outside of the course. It's pretty sweet. Definitely memorable.

The baskets and signs are excellent! Since the course is only a year old, the new maps and baskets look really cool and are very effective.

Cons:

No tees yet...just dirt patches next to the signs.

The fairways aren't mowed. The grass is usually pretty high, which can get annoying.

While the land is utilized, the terrain is not that interesting and pretty flat. I will point out though that there have been trees planted and looks very promising.

Other Thoughts:

It's a fun little course to play! A round will only take about 40 minutes and is pretty easy, for the most part.

Also, my 50th course and review!!! :D

Not ready yet 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice baskets and signs
Not many people
Located in the middle of a horse track

Cons:

Lots of spiky weeds
No tee pads
minor hills
Short holes
As like most of Europe, no specific parking.
Only 12 holes when I think they could fit 6 mores if allowed.
Sees like the course goes second to any event that takes place. I went and there were gates everywhere dividing hole and tees, and not a sole in sight.

Other Thoughts:

If this park is maintained and finished (ie. pond and grounds keeping) it could make for a good time.
