The easy basic par 3 9 holer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 21, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

A simple all par 3 course, good for stretching out the arm and try some new approaches. Decent Tees and okay baskets.

Cons:

Very simple and the signs say par 4 and sometimes 5. Its really all par 3.

Other Thoughts:

Careful on the single water shot. Very easy to over throw.

Great for beginners and intermediate players 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good distances averaging about 270ft, few but good size obstacles, has a risky water hole, and the last three holes are repetitive but nice to open up your throws on. Great variety

Cons:

Could be a longer course, but its still great to just play multiple games

Fun for practice/quick playthrough 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Relatively easy for newcomers
-Open holes
-Fairly well-kept grass
-Great for knocking out a quick round (~30 mins on a good day)

Cons:

-may be too short for more experienced players
-Hole #5 is tricky to master at first, pretty easy to lose a disc if you're not careful
-Get's a little boring the more you play it
-The last 3 holes are really repetitive

Other Thoughts:

I'm not a huge fan of the layout, it gets boring pretty quickly. It's a great course for someone who may be just starting out. I wish there was a putting practice pin on the course.

What is Love? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 21, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is the course I started my disc golf career on. I credit the beginner friendliness to my love for disc golf. The grass is well maintained and the tee boxes are concrete. West Pulaski is a very open course and every hole gives one the ability to drive to the basket. This is a very course for beginners, and the prominent potential for Aces/Eagles allows expert disc golfers to have a good time as well.

Hole #5 is a very rememberable hole. It is a downhill, par-4. The basket is right on the shore of beautiful Pulaski Lake. To the right of the hole there is a thick wooded area with long grass. There are many large trees that limit driving to the pin. It is also nice to hop in the lake and cool down.

Cons:

Holes #7-9 are generally the same thing. They are basically just straight-aways on an open field. There are also no specific fairways. Almost all of the grass is the same length and there is rarely a penalty for bad drives.

Other Thoughts:

I recommend getting out to Pulaski and hitting this course. You won't regret it.

one fun hole 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Fun little course geared towards recreational players. Easy layout to follow.
Hole five is a fun downhill with a lake just behind the basket. All other holes are fairly easy and straight forward.

Cons:

The course uses the land well, but most holes are short and could be easily deuced. Relatively boring course. Hole five is the one exception.

Other Thoughts:

If I lived in town, I would play the course often and bring unexperienced players out. For a veteran golfer, this course will be a bit boring.

Great course!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

West Pulaski is the perfect course for the average disc golfer. This course is a great place to have a nice relaxed game of disc golf. Hole 5 is one of the best holes I have ever played on a hill leading to a lake. The grass is upkept very well.

Cons:

Not very challenging for the pros. Distance is not a factor and the course is very easy to get birdies and eagles.

Other Thoughts:

The high schoolers don't bug people there. They're actually pretty nice kids most of the time.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 18, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy park to find, right off of main highway. Not a busy course. Easy warm up course on your way to Annandale/Clearwater. Has a very cool hole that has you shooting right onto the lakeshore. If the water were high, the basket would be surrounded by water. Easy course for Aces and Birdies

Cons:

A few holes have you shooting towards a playground. Easy to lose your disk on the water hole. (hole 4 or 5). No long holes to get a good drive on.

Plain and simple 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to play, very very good for starters. Hole #5 is awesome going down to the water; makes the course in my opinion.

Cons:

Not very challenging for someone who has been playing for a long time.

Other Thoughts:

Worth playing at least once. As far is "high school punks go" as some people mentioned in their reviews; don't mind them. They don't bother anyone and they keep to themselves. Don't have to worry about being hassled.

Legit course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 5, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is strait up awesome. It is perfect if you're the kind of frolfer who likes to go out with their buddies and have a great time. The course sits on a gorgeous lake. While the lake may swallow your disc, it is great to take a swim in the middle of the round in those hot summer days. The course features a fairly nice variety of terrain as well.

Cons:

The only annoying part of the course is on holes 7 8 9. They are wide open. This is because the trees on the holes are still very small. Eventually these holes will be more kf a challenge. Other than that no other bad things to say.

Other Thoughts:

Play this course! It is a really great time. It is a course that I personally never get tired of.

Is Your Fav Disc Swimming With The Fishes On # 5 ? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 20, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Take away # 5 and this is just another typical little 9 hole city parks course. It does have the nice trapazoid shaped concrete tee pads. The baskets are DGA with the red numbers. The tee signs are the standard white plastic ones and surprise, none have been broken up yet, although # 2 is currently missing.
The pars listed are for elementary kids making this another course where you can rack up the eagles and the occasional double eagle like on the # 3, a 329' Par 5.

# 5 is the signature hole here but I think it is also the single most disc swallowing hole I've ever encountered in the 375 courses I've played. It's just a 243' touch shot through the trees down a very steep hill. But the basket sits 5 feet from shores of beautiful Pulaski Lake. Any run at the basket, any skip at all and splash! It's a very pretty hole but deadly. It's like the mysterious. beautiful, sexy Russian spy in all the James Bond movies. She's drawing you in. So alluring that you can't resist. Then one measly overthrow and your fav disc swims with the fishes in beautiful Pulaski Lake.

Cons:

On # 1 there are silly Out of Bounds signs that are 6 feet in front of the parks chain link fence along the right side of the fairway. Of all the courses that need OB signs, this is not the place. The chain link fence is OB enough.
Holes 7-8-9 are boring. All three are almost the exact length and the exact same throw just back and forth across the field.

Other Thoughts:

I guess I was lucky to miss the afore-mentioned high school punks. There was one shady looking guy parked nearby. Maybe he was looking for the high school punks? Maybe he was a high school punk?

It's a fun, little recreational park course with one very interesting disc drinking hole and maybe some high school punks thrown in for good measure and with beautiful Pulaski Lake views for those interested in that sort of things.

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 11, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good putter practice
#5, in my mind after playing 55 courses in Minnesota is one of the top 3 holes in the state behind #4 at Blue Ribbon Pines and #15 at Hidden lake.

Cons:

Lots of high school punks sitting in the parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

Not worth the long drive if I was playing just this course but #5 makes this course a 2 instead of a 1.

West P 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy course for beginners to learn on. The Longest hole (3) is 323 ft. and only holes 3 and 5 present chances of losing a disc. Hole 5 is down a steep hill with the basket about 15 ft. in front of the lake at the bottom with trees guarding both sides. Can be shot with a putter straight down, a big floating anhyzer (or hyzer for leftys), a huge skyzer way out to the right over the trees, or a tommy right over the top. Every hole is an ace opportunity for a skilled player.

Cons:

Too easy. Too short. Not a huge variety of shots. The only challenge for a very good player is to try to birdie every hole.

Other Thoughts:

This is my home course I've probably played 1000+ rounds here over the last 5 years. Not worth driving more than 20 mins to play and that's only for the novelty of playing a new course. Solid 9 holer for a quick round but doesn't offer anything special. Also, don't go during spring between 230-6 unless u wanna deal with all the high school punks.

Poor layout.
Hill is terribly steep.

Great little course but quite a ways out there for the Metropolitans 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 20, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The best part about this course is how open it is. It is a great way to get some curves practice in on some pretty easy but longer shots. The hole I liked the most was the long downhill. I found myself playing it at least five times the first time I went, getting closer every time but never quite in birdie range, It would not be doing the course any good to call this the only fun hole on the course. Though this place is mostly wide open shots with minimal tree-factor, the wide open shots are very nicely placed and great varying lengths and grades. Nicely trimmed grass and a great flow complimented the holes on this course. I also noticed that it was very clean and was free of graffiti.

Cons:

One major con for this place is that from the east metro you are looking at a 50 min. drive and for the west metro you are looking at at least a 30 min. drive. If you are planning on playing this course, I would recommend, checking out what else is in the area as well, as this course really isn't worth a couple gallons of gas. Other than that, the park was a little small and it's a very flat area of town so the wind is greater there than here, making windy days quite difficult.

Other Thoughts:

On a nice day it would be fun to play this course and take a dip in the lake by the big down hill shot. There looks to be a decent beach if you can call it that, some picnic benches and a few grills. I enjoyed this place a lot, but was not satisfied for how long of a drive it was.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Not very busy, even on the weekend. Good course for beginners, as most of the holes are fairly straight and not too long. Hole #5 shows beginners a little more of what to expect on some of the harder courses.

Cons:

Fairly easy course for more advanced players because of distance and straightness. Also, few obstructions leave a pretty open shot in most cases.

Other Thoughts:

There are better courses around, but if you are in the area, makes for a nice walk...

Good for a city park course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 27, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The 5th hole is a monster. Down a steep hill between trees and the basket is about 5' from the water. The 4th hole runs the ridge of the steep hole so it is possible to have a long roll down. Concrete Tee pads with distance and pin location on them. Lots of parking and a play ground for the kids. Not very busy.

Cons:

Its really straight and the tress that are in the way are fairly young. The 1st hole backs up to a house so if you throw long you are in some ones back yard. The 3rd tee is only about 15' from someones garage. The first 2 holes are shorter and close together while the last 3 are long and further apart and almost identical in length and elevation.

Other Thoughts:

There is a practice basket with some varied terrain around it. I don't know if it is worth driving for if there is something closer.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 11, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

The only reason why this is a four is because of the ridiculous hole number 5. It shoots down a large hill rather steeply with some scattered trees to block your shot. On top of that, the pin is about 20 feet from a lake which is OB. It is a spectacular view and a really fun hole.
Other than that, 9 holes, all but number 2 have signs, concrete tee pads. Course design is pretty obvious, except hole number 4 which plays along a hill back towards 5.

Cons:

Most shots are wide open at this time. There are a bunch of tiny trees on 1 that will make that hole hard in the future but as of now, it's simple. Most of the holes are wide open with little to no obstacles. Very little elevation change on holes besides number 5.
It is kind of out of the way from most everything. I would say it probably isn't worth the drive unless you're pretty near it, even though number 5 is amazing.
