Penryn Elementary School Disc Golf Course Is Set In A Wonderful Section Of Woods! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

As you turn Into Penryn Elementary School ( home of the Panthers) from Butler Road, there is a park-like area on your left, then a parking lot with some kind of solar panel facility and then another park area. The disc golf course starts in the park-like area closest to the school and then continues to the second. The # 4 basket and the # 9 tee pad were lost to the solar panel install.

There is a pad for # 4 and the basket was probably originally placed in the area where the fence is now. The # 9 sign and pole is lying on the ground between # 7 and # 8. This hole probably played across the area which is now fenced, too.

This was a very nice, well designed little course, well suited fir the elementary students it was built for. It's still good, It's too bad they lost this two holes. And it's a shame that no-one has stepped up and done a minor re-design.

The course has natural tee pads, old school fiberglass tee signs and DGA baskets with the number plate. There is a front board to mark the tees. Hole distances here are all less than 200', just perfect for these students. There are enough trees to force the kids to shape a few shots while learning to control their discs. This course is is an example of someone having a plan and building a course appropriate for the target audience.

Cons:

Parts of holes 4 & 9 lost to the construction of the solar panels.

Elementary school distances and challenge.

Natural tees.

Other Thoughts:

As with every one of these little pitch and putt courses, there are local golfers who come and play them, either as beginners or recreation players just enjoying the Ace Runs or players just enjoying a very casual stress free round. There were a couple young men here today honing their game on this course. It was a perfect fit for their skill level. It would be an average course if the two lost holes were restored, as it have to rate it a bit lower, 2.0.

Work in progress 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 25, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course exists, which allows for diversity of play in the area. I played on Memorial Day, so no school. Hole one is in the northeast corner of the school.

Cons:

Solar panel install took away two holes. Basket for 9 still exists, but no way to play it.

Other Thoughts:

Great short course with play structure for the kids. Also, there is a book swap box near the playground full of books the kids can read onsite or trade with ones they have in the car.

Messed Up 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

No other people on the course = no problem.

Cons:

Messy. Yellow ribbons tied up (tree to tree) everywhere. Couldn't find two holes. Zig-zagged across other fairways (not safe).

Other Thoughts:

Don't waste your time at this one.

Only 7 baskets to shoot at 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 18, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) A very nice putt and approach course
2) Definite ace run holes
3) Some definite hallway shots from over 100 feet
4) Summer, unlimited access, unless construction is underway

Cons:

1) Took a while to find, along a winding street behind the school
2) Ongoing construction going on
3) No hole 4, no hole 9
4) Teepad to 4 exists, but no basket
5) Basket to 9 exists, but no teepad
6) Combine these two parts and you have a short 50-60 foot eighth hole
7) When school is in session, you must wait until after school gets out to play

Other Thoughts:

If holes 4 and 9 existed, I would have rated this higher. One of the school workers told my friend and I to wait because he had not seen anyone play disc golf. Hope that the course gets done up soon or that course may become extinct. :-(

quaint, yet uninspired 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 12, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

numerous putt and approach shots in and around small trees makes for short game practice.

Cons:

in addition to holes 4 and 9 being eliminated from the new large solar panel installation, tee box 3 is affected as well.

Other Thoughts:

this course needs some attention. unsure what the solar panel will allow.

School Yard Fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 3, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great course to practice your mid and short range game on. Designed for children, fun for adults to practice on. Easily knocked out in short time. Trees and placements made for some fun challenges.

Cons:

On school grounds so only available when school is not is session.
Crossing fairways, difficult to play if more than one group on course.

Other Thoughts:

Course is designed for elementary school children. Pars and distances listed on tee signs are a little crazy. Hole distances do not match up with course and pars are listed for children but inconsistent from hole to hole. Most holes are deuce or die, but trees come into play adding some challenges here. Not a destination course by any means but if you're in the area a fun play.
