- Well, that there are baskets here is a pro. They look like older model Discatchers but they're rusted badly and with very stiff chains that bounce soft putts out easily.

- Basket for #15 has been repaired so it's no longer on the ground.

- Plenty of parking, and it's near other Vineland courses if you're looking for a multi-course day of disc golf.

- Beautiful, tall old hardwood trees provide shade and are abundant enough and used well enough to make the holes semi interesting even though the terrain's all flat.

- Grass is mowed by the city and I haven't seen the garbage piles that others mention; they must been cleaned up periodically.

- Little else.

- REALLY SKETCHY. First time I played there were a number of apparently drugged-out homeless hanging out in the pavilion by #11 and #18 hollering, stumbling around, and making uncomfortable commentary about my friend and I. Even more uncomfortable was a man with his pants halfway to his knees waddling across the fairway of #5 talking loud gibberish to himself, who then just stood there in my friend and mine's way for 5 minutes while he stared off at nothing in the woods... In case this was an "off day" for Landis, I decided to give it one more try. Well, second time I played there were people staring incessantly at me and making gibberish calls from the bus stop bench by #5... Enough said. Needless to say, I will not be coming back a third time.

- HORRID NAVIGATION. No course map exists that I could find. There's a billboard by where the first tee used to be but there's absolutely nothing on it. Yes there are 4x4 posts marking the remnants of tee signs at every tee except #1, 7, 10, and 16, but almost none of them are numbered. Only #3, 5, 8, 12, 17, and 18 have numbers on the tee post. Even having been here before, I still spent at least half an hour wandering and trying to figure out the hole layouts again my second time here.

- The flat terrain is pretty boring, though the big trees help.

- No tee pads, just grass, which would be ok if there was a nice tee sign for each hole - but there aren't.

- Rusted baskets in bad need of repair.

- IF you can play when NO ONE is at the park (like maybe during a weekday morning or a dreary weather day), AND if you already know the hole layouts, then it's safe enough to give it a go and it might actually be a modestly enjoyable round. I gave it a 0.5 star rating instead of a 0 because this is possible. Otherwise the place gives an abandoned, vandalized, addict-hangout vibe that isn't worth the visit.

- Don't play the back nine holes near the pavilion (#11, 17, and 18) if anyone is there and you don't want a nerve-wracking uncomfortable experience.

- If you dare to give it a go, the first tee is supposed to be on the east side of the park, in the grass next to the small parking lot just east of the big baseball field in the center of the park. That first tee sign is gone, so pick your favorite spot by the empty billboard. Good luck, you brave soul!

+ The course exists at all.
+ The very many oaks provide quite a few chances to practice your tree dodging skills from afar and up close.
+ No overgrowth or undergrowth of any kind, so losing a disc is almost impossible.

- There are no tee pads: just vaguely defined areas in some spots marked by slats of wood if you're lucky to spot them.
- Navigation is a nightmare. There is barely any signage to begin with. With a few exceptions, there is no way to know what hole you are at, where to throw or where to go to reach the next tee from the basket.
- The baskets are rusted through and/or damaged. There are numbers on top of them, but most are so badly faded that you need to use light glare to identify which basket you're at. That user-provided image for hole 15 is not a deception, either. The bottom cage really does rest on the ground now because the retaining joint has corroded away!
- There is an information board right next to hole one, but there is nothing on it at all. The front and back are completely devoid of any and all information. It may as well not be there for how useless it is.
- Trash is visible everywhere. Discarded beer cans, umbrellas, fast food wrappers, you name it. During my visit, basket six had an entire pile of bottles and cans on top of it.
- A few holes play uncomfortably close to a busy street, to my mind.

I can't pick a favorite hole here. They all play identically. I can't pick a least favorite hole, either. They all underwhelm identically.

That could be because the whole course is implanted within a uniformly level city block park. That isn't a, strictly speaking, bad thing, but there is little else on the course to make it worthwhile, which accentuates the monotonous quality of the course. Each and every hole at Landis is a park-style hybrid hole with plenty of impressive oak trees around and just enough space between those trees to encourage throwing with more power than you would at a conventional forested course. Ignoring the course's (many) faults for the moment, the repetitive nature of it all doesn't make for an engaging round.

To make matters worse, the course infrastructure has deteriorated over time. I can tell by looking that this used to be a competently-planned place to play, but while the grounds are well-kept, the course has suffered from immense neglect. Except for holes 3, 5 and 18, the tee sign posts have no signs to guide players. The baskets are aged and rusted. The layout becomes confusing with no navigation cues of any kind. The tee areas are scuffs of land sometimes marked with blocks of wood and sometimes not. Simply put: this course is a mess.

Here is where I would normally say that it could still be an entry point for beginners still picking up the game or a spot for experienced players who are just looking for an easy round without elevation or hazards. And I still do say that, but it's a shame the state of disrepair the course is in. I am glad it exists, at least. Things can always improve, and I would love to see it get better. But Landis as it is right now does not faithfully represent what our sport can be. Not even close.

So in terms of a bottom line, I can't recommend this course to too many people unless you just want a flat and straight-forward round and aren't too bothered by aged equipment, a vague layout and bland features. For those of you seeking a proper 18-hole experience, I suggest you give this one a miss.

Old and pretty beat up - probably was a nice neighborhood park course in its day


+ A lot of par 3's in the 300' range, and most of them take advantage of the tall oak trees throughout the park (like at Thompson, big old oaks make for good disc golf lines)

+ It's mowed

- No signage (look for remaining tee posts), no tees, old baskets

- Lots of garbage, bottles, broken glass around. It's pretty clear this park no longer gets much attention other than mowing

~ Park in the back lot, near the baseball field. I made the mistake of parking near the entrance where I saw what I thought was a practice basket, and a broken basket marked "1" in the distance. Turns out that was actually "15" (the numbers are in terrible shape), so I wandered around for about a half hour until I figured out the layout. So don't be like me: park in the back

~ This site indicates the course was originally installed in 1998 - it was probably a really nice course for ten years or so - and looks like it's been in decline ever since

~ My round took 90 minutes, but about 30 were used up figuring out the layout. So you could play in an hour and then head over to South Vineland for a whole different style of course

Despite negative reviews, I had a lot of fun here. It's an more open park-style course with plenty of trees, but no undergrowth. you certainly won't lose discs here, but it's tight enough to make for some good golf lines. You'll throw a bunch of different discs here, which I always like, as opposed to just throwing all drivers off tee, or all mids off tee. Good variety.

There can be some seedy characters floating around, but it's in a low-income area, so that's not a huge surprise. Most people don't seem to pose any threat. Most of them couldn't care less what you're doing, and some seem legitimately curious. Be vigilant, that's all.

This pairs up nicely with South Vineland's Crystal Lake course if you're trying to make for a fun day of disc golf in that area.

You won't lose a disc, unless it's in leaves.

Eclectic group of locals, tough to get to know but always good for a good game and good laugh after you do.

If you want to learn to throw with hyzer and how to make a 30' putt, this is the place to play.

Rough park, tough to follow, no elevation to speak of.

If you're looking for a scenic park, challenging par 4's and 5's, go somewhere else. It's a free park and a free game -- you do not have to play at Landis, no one will miss you if you're not there.

none that i can think of

i've played hundreds of courses in 10 different countries and this easily ranks as one of the worst.

signboard in parking lot has only one paper, indicating some "shady" local disc golf promoter that we are advised to avoid.

vast majority of tee signs are missing.

majority of tee box markers are either missing or impossible to find

most baskets are missing hole numbers, and there are quite a few baskets in close proximity to each other so just pick one and play to it i guess.

walk between 9 and 10 is ridiculous, nothing to indicate which way to go.

no maintenance, tall grass

on two separate occasions during my two "rounds" here, someone picked up my discs and i had to call to them to drop them.

park is in a very sketchy neighborhood, there was a significant domestic dispute going on in the house behind hole 3 while i was teeing off, male and female physically fighting, cursing, threatening each other very loudly, calling police etc

i played the course with a vineland resident non golfer, he was curious to see what i was doing since he'd lived there his entire life and never seen anyone playing this course before.

there are no redeeming qualities here, the best thing that could happen is for these baskets to be lifted out of here and planted somewhere that someone or some club will take care of them. this park is not the place and makes the game look very bad with each day this course is allowed to continue in this condition. avoid this course like the plague.

18 holes located in a small park

Use of trees- i wouldnt be sure if i would classify this course as wooded or open because it is open with trees in play on every hole. This makes you need some accuracy and would probably be a good course to set you up for South Vineland.

Distance variety- holes anywher rom 200-450ft.
Posts to mark tees- this helps with the little amount of navigation that there is. It seems like the locals are creating gold tees. Im pretty sure only the locals know them though.

Sketchy- the park seems to be a hangout for bad people. There os a pavillion in the middle of the course where such activity always seems to be happening

No elevation and no variety- i ould come here with one driver one mid and one putter and still shoot relatively well.

Navigation- there are many baskets tucked into a small area, and therefore you can get messed up with navigation, because there are muliple baskets ou can see from an area at any given time. There are no arrows or any navigational tools to help you locate where the next tee is

The vineland group is doing a good job aound here and i hope they continue to do so.

-Course is easy to find. It's right downtown.
-When locals are screaming at each other in a drunk rage at 11am, they are otherwise nice
-Sandy soil helps with keep unwanted rolls to a minimum
-Many trash cans available
-Multiple (natural) tee pads

-I'm glad I came with a friend to play this course, otherwise the sketchiness of the course would have been too much and I would have skipped it altogether
-Could not find the #10 tee boxes
-Even though there are dozens of trash cans on the course, litter is abundant on the course
-There are a couple of holes where an errand disc can fly into traffic (and that happened to my friend)
-Most of the holes have no elevation
-Locals can be very distracting during your round
-This course has lots of signs of abuse (missing signs, rusted baskets,trash) and I think that more due to the locals and not disc golfers

With South Vineland close by, it's either best to play this course first or skip it all together.

pretty open lots of big trees. big map at start to help you navigate the holes

the walk from hole 9 to 10 is hard to navigate. locals at the 18 hole they are no threat but did offer prostitution and we felt very uncomfortable.

its good coarse, but if you only have time to play one coarse in vineland save your time and go to south vineland park.

YES YOU CAN PLAY 18 BASKETS IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS..AN EXCELLENT DESIGN AND USE OF SPACE. ALL LEVELS CAN FIND A CHALLENGE HERE. ALL TEES OFFER MULTIPLE ROUTES TO IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS. PUTTING IS A MUST IF YOU WANT TO SCORE WELL.MAP LOCATED ON MESSAGE BOARD.NEWLY PAINTED RED TEE MARKERS AND NUMBERS ON BASKETS MAKE NAVIGATION EASY..18 BASKETS CAN BE PLAYED IN AN HOUR IF ALONE.VIRTUALLY NEVER LOSE A DISC HERE.PLENTY OF PARKING AND PARK IS PATROLLED FREQUENTLY.USE WALKING TRAIL AS A STREAM FOR ADDED OB.PUTT BETWEEN BASKETS 3 AND 9 FOR PRACTICE. THE OPENESS OF THE PARK ADDS TO ITS SAFETY.

NOT MUCH NEGATIVE HERE..THE COURSE IS THE COURSE PLAY AND HAVE FUN.SOME LOCALS HANG IN WARM WEATHER AT THE PAVILLION BUT ARE FRIENDLY AND POSE NO THREAT.

IN 1998 THE VINELAND DISC CLUB ASKED THE CITY TO BUILD A COURSE AT SOUTH VINELAND PARK.THE CITY SAID NO BECAUSE THE PARK WAS CLOSED AT THAT TIME AND OFFERED LANDIS PARK.18 BASKETS TEE MARKERS TEE BOXES AND MESSAGE BOARD WERE ALL BUILT WITH ZERO FUNDS FROM THE CITY.ALL 18 BASKETS WERE DONATED BY LOCALS.THE USE OF EVERY INCH AVAILABLE OF THE PARK MAKES THIS AN AWESOME DESIGN. OBVIOUSLY IT IS NO SOUTH VINELAND PARK BUT WORKING WITH WHAT WE WERE OFFERED IT IS AN EXCELLENT DESIGN.IF YOU THINK THIS COURSE IS EASY CALL NOTIFY ME WHEN YOU SHOOT A 1000 RATED 46...856-982-5320

18 hole course located in a small, multi-purpose park. Dual long/short tees for each basket. Newly installed 4 x 4 red painted posts number each hole. Course navigation is easy. Comparable distances on all of the holes appeal to the casual or recreational player, while large trees spread throughout the park provide a bit of a challenge for more experienced disc golfers.

Flat course with very little variety. There is no challenge here to throw an array of different shots for success. Natural tee pads here. Baskets work fine but many are rusty and worn. Only a couple of holes have maps, there are no next tee arrows, benches, bag poles or other ammenities you'd find at a top tier course. While otherwise pretty clean, there is a lot of broken glass throughout the course.

Landis Park has some very real faults, but it is not deserving of the scathing reviews given by some, nor is it the ghetto I was led to believe it was after reading some of the comments on the review site. It is what it is- an okay, 18 hole course located in a lower- middle class town. There are no signature holes nor is it a destination course. It is not going to improve your overall game much, but it is an enjoyable, relatively quick play where an average player can achieve success. It is important to note that several people in the area are making a commendable effort to upgrade both Landis and the course in South Vineland- there is much to do.

There are very few pros to this course. There are multiple tees which does offer some much needed variance to the extremely flat course. The summer time has a lot of growth which offers a nice canopy to play under. The fairways aren't overgrown so there is a low chance of losing your discs in high grass or getting bugs all over you. The park features, such as the pavilion and ball field, are used to give some variety to an otherwise straightforward grip and rip course.

Bums and graffiti have taken a large toll on this course which drastically limits course playability and appeal. It also doesn't help that there isn't a caretaker for the course either. Lots of baskets are missing numbers which makes it incredibly hard to find the right basket to tee off into, especially since you can see multiple baskets from each tee. The course is on a very loud and busy city block, so teeing off and hitting a passing by car is a distinct possibility. The alternate tees are near impossible to find without having a person familiar with the course there. The only variance between the holes is distance and this helps a little bit with the entire course being totally flat. The tee signs are also missing or weatherworn beyond recognition.

The neighborhood decay shows a lot on the course. A large use of OB makes the course slightly more challenging. South Vineland is much better to play by yourself , with a group, and especially with your children.

A few years back this was the best course in Vineland....of course it was the only course in Vineland. This could be a nice park with a decent course if it was free of the jackass thugs milling about the grounds.

New Jersey does not honor my North Carolina Concealed Carry Permit.

Played here until South Vineland Park put in the first nine baskets. I'd play South Vineland left-handed before I'd go back to Landis (and I have!)

The tee signs that are left are true works of art....very descriptive and artistic rendering of each hole, maybe thats why 12 of them were stolen? Multiple tee options, if your brave enough to play more than one round!
Big old growth trees all over course that create canopy to throw under and several defined lanes to choose from. 18 holes which means something when in underseved Jersey. No undergrowth, schule, pickers, thorns or high weeds anywhere(you might be offered weed by a dealer however), impossible to lose disc here unless it gets stolen or flies into a street. There is a decent option 5-10 minutes away at South Vineland Park to look forward too.
The course itself is a nice place to air out drives and do some line shaping around beautiful old growth trees.

Excuse my negative sarcasm in my pros section, it is not my nature but I had to warn my disc golf brethren. First of all this is a city block park, meaning the park takes up an entire city block and is thus surrounded by noisy street and one hears constant hip-hop bass, honking and sirens throughout your round. There are no locals here except for a few bums, gangbangers and kids sadly trying to play little league in this squalor, don't trip over that 40 bottle. First time I ever putted into a basket where I almost broke a thunderbird bottle rather than a splash of chains. I arrived at hole #11 which is the signature throw off the pavillion and was met by a bunch of thugs slinging rocks, yes crystal rocks not KC rocs. I decided to not step on their turf and skipped that hole. I wasn't about to mess with their pit bull and the sea of red clothing made me realize this was not hippie disc golf territory. As I played, they tried to bait me, hey you suck white boy! Blaaaat! that shot wasn't close white boy! etc. etc. While this was a true challenge to focus throughout the back nine it was not the kind of challenge I think my disc golf brothers are searching for. I skipped hole 18 which played back at the pavillion and would have probably appeared as though I was throwing at them...was tempted but chose the safer route and hurried back to my jeep. Sadly enough several blue collar types with kids were asking me about the sport and were interested in what I was doing....I usually stay and chat, I think we are all ambassadors to the sport, but I just briefly spoke to them and rushed off before it got dark. I was concerned my jeep might be getting broken into. The only cons with the course itself are the total flatness, which does not bother me. There are several dangerous holes that have baskets situated next to busy street#1, or tee off facing busy streets. It is also hard to find the alternate tees.
Many complain that you can throw a hyzer on every hole but I found that often an anhyzer was a better option on many holes.
I think when I originally played the course the gang activity and being harassed didnt allow me to appreciate the course as much as I could have. I played it early AM for a tourney and it was a fun play. I think this is a course that suffers from circumstances beyond the locals control. I suppose I have had rounds ruined in more affluent locales just as much as this one.

This was a unique experience for me. I am not afraid of urban life, I just usually play disc golf as a means to get away from such environments. This was probably once a nice disc golf park....you can see remnants of it's heyday. Sadly the neighborhood has decayed and the local disc golf scene must have fled to South Vineland Park about 5-10 minutes away.
Bottom line its a decent course that if played at the right time makes for a fun 18 hole round.

Landis Park DGC is a simple straightforward disc golf course located in a small city park. All of the holes are pretty much open and grip & rip shots. The course makes large use of OB to mix things up on some of the holes and it is much needed. There isn't much variation to any of the holes except distance. There are three tees per hole which can add a different perspective to each hole

Landis Park doesn't have much going for it. The course looks like no one takes care of it. The natural tees need to be leveled, and it seemed like some were actually missing. The signs are mostly missing or very weather worn. The baskets are rusted and need a lot of TLC. Vandalism has really taken its toll at this course. The basket numbers are gone on most and since it is easy to see several baskets form any tee, teeing off to the wrong basket is a distinct possibility.
The course is surrounded on all sides by busy roads. Due to the close proximity of the holes to the roads sometimes you have to wait to tee off because of heavy traffic (an errant throw can hit a car). The park also seems home to a lot of local bums which detracts from the course.

With the nicest disc golf course in south Jersey only 5 minutes away at South Vineland Park there is no reason to play Landis Park. I like to play new course and so I don't regret playing this course once, but I would never go there again. Play two rounds at Vineland (whites & yellows) and you will enjoy it far more than the stress of playing at Landis Park.

Its nice there's an 18 hole course here, in Jersey they are very hard to come by. (only 5 in the state I think) All drives from the tee needed accuracy, especially with the amount of OBs the course has. Using park features like the pavilion and ball fields was a good choice as it added some needed variety to the course.

With the exception of the #11 pavilion shot I was using the same drive the whole time and it got repetitive. Most of the tees were missing there signs, I assume do to vandalism. This made playing and navigation a bit difficult. From some tees you can see 2-3 baskets (some with numbers rusted off) so it took some figuring out as to which to throw at. Also tees are simply a board in the ground and some are hard to find with direction. A lucky guess landed me at tee #10 as it is a 200 yard walk from basket #9. (Go to other side of ball-field, tee 10 near road.) It seems that course upkeep here has been abandoned. Additionally most of the course played right near busy roads. One thing I really enjoy about playing is getting out into nature and away from everything, so teeing off next to honking cars and cops pulling people over was not appealing. At one point a giant street-cleaning sort of truck drove right down the fairway in front of me.

Playing a new course is fun, but I should have taken the advice some locals gave me- Skip Landis and just play 2 rounds at South Vineland Park.

Lots of trees yet fairly open. Some decent decison-making with fair routes to each basket. 3 tees on every hole.

"New" blue tees are very hard to find. Signs missing on about half the holes. Baskets are rusting. Park looks like it hasn't been maintained for years. Grass and dirt is splotchy.

What should have been a signature hole, teeing off from a pavilion down to the canopied fairway below, was ruined by a drunk woman asking us for a dollar or some beer. There was no one else on the entire course except a few joggers passing through on a Saturday.

Novice to Pro can appreciate the use of what little space was available. Take the time to bring your family to this park and find the blue tees for the kids, or bring a first timer for a great first time experience with disc golf.

Sublime use of large spaced out trees.

Fun course.

Roadways, multiple use park can be unsafe for bystanders. No real trouble off of fairways.

Use as a warm up for South Vineland Park.

It's a disc golf course in New Jersey.

No challenge. Predictable. Grass tees.

Straightforward course. Go to South Vineland Park instead for a rewarding disc golf experience.
