-very clearly laid out course with good tee markers, the course website has a great map for finding your way: https://painesvillediscgolf.w...t-the-course/

-well maintained, new baskets, concrete teepads, and signs

-starts where it ends; no need to hoof it back to your bike or car

-a few interesting holes:
9 is a long downhill thread-the-needle with an option for a safe throw to go around the woods
16 gives you a risk-reward option of throwing over the pond

-probably would be a nightmare to play on a crowded day, but i was there mid afternoon on a weekday

-quite a few straightaway open fairway holes, but they usually had something a little bit interesting; I played osborne park the same day, which had much more boring straightaway holes

-hole 8 is literally along a city street, you can easily throw across into it someone's yard (as I did), but it leads up to hole 9 which is really cool

~Decent mix of holes, overall the course caters to most skill levels
~Updated signage
~Concrete tee pads
~Park amenities (restrooms, pavilions, ample parking)

~Plays throughout all areas of a multi-use park
~Course intertwines with park roads & paths
~Groups of holes laid out too close to one another

Locally referred to as "The Pond", I was fortunate to play this course as the 2nd round of a recent C-Tier tournament. Non-disc golf park activities were at a bare minimum during the round so most of the issues noted above in the cons section were not a factor. That being said, I can definitely see where play at this course when the park is busy could be difficult.

The layout has been expanded to a fun filled full 18-hole course with concrete tees and new signs. Much of the park space is utilized, and the locals did a great job incorporating the best available land for a solid course. Elevation only factors into a few holes, and much of the course takes advantage of mature trees, and park structures for line shaping. Paved roads and other surfaces create out of bounds limits on numerous holes, and a few others play near and over a small pond in the middle of the park.

The biggest glaring issue with this course is the close proximity to park roads, other park activities, and a couple sections where two holes share a little bit too much space with one another. This is to be expected with the layout of the park and spaces available, and would only be of major concern when the park is bustling with activities.

Most of the holes are very fun to throw, and there are ample birdie opportunities coupled with some fairly long par threes. Difficulty is modest, so advanced players can score very well while almost any skill level can play with enjoyment. All in all it's a good course, and maintained by a great group of people!

+ Painesville Recreation Park is a very large park that hosts a variety of activities from baseball, to skateboarding, to hockey. The disc golf course has been expanded to 18 holes, and it's very solid with the space given!

+ The ammentities are top notch. Concrete tees, beautiful colored tee signs, and DISCatcher baskets. The tee signs are awesome, so hopefully no vandals get a hold of them.

+ Very good place to take a beginner, while advanced players might find some tight, but intriguing risk-reward opportunities for a shot at a deuce.

+ The park has a river and a pond and the design utilizes both on a few holes. Beginners are able to take an alternate route to avoid them, while more advanced players can really go for it all. These holes were very fun and well designed.

+ There isn't a ton of elevation to speak of, but when there is, it provides for a few memorable holes. #9 is extremely tight and plays off of a cliff, which is the steepest elevation drop in the whole park.

+ The course is intertwined with tons of other activities, without being dangerously close to them. It's impressive that they fit 18 holes in this park without any major danger or without it feeling congested.

+ Makes two 9-hole loops. Both #9 and #18 end pretty close to the parking lot. The lot is large and easily capable of hosting a tournament.

- Most of the holes are about the same distance, somewhere between 200' - 320'. Even though all the holes are par 3's, they stand out from each other pretty well.

- Wasn't a fan of #7, the fairway is just a closed down gravel road. The hole is only about 170' straight ahead.

- The park was pretty empty for a nice afternoon, but I imagine pedestrians might be troublesome on busier days. Holes 1-5 and 14-18 would be your best bets at waiting for pedestrians to pass by.

- Only one set of tees, I think there's room for another set but that's a whole different project that I'm sure isn't going to happen for a while, if ever.

- The holes around the pond are just ridiculous in terms of goose crap. #16's tee is caked with it, so it might be best to wear some older shoes if possible.

I was thoroughly impressed with the course in Painesville. Lots of memorable holes that appeal to both beginners and more advanced players. I'd say it's a course you should visit if you're in the area, because there's not too many around Painesville.

Nice park setting with mature trees and a view of the Grand River. Not too much underbrush in which to lose discs.

A lot of the holes are too close to playgrounds, ball fields and crowded common areas,

The park is nice and the course would be lovely if it were not such a popular park. Seems like it could be fun on a Tuesday morning or something but when crowded it is just...painesville

18 holes, accurate tee signs. Lovely park. Course evolving, very fun round in mostly open, often crowded park. Locals very good about returning discs!

can be muddy, but I hear concrete tees are coming soon! tees can be tweaked, next tee signs needed in couple spots, other park users still learning wtf we are doing out there

GPS to this address: 33 Mill St., Painesville, OH, 44077 (Painesville Recreation Park) otherwise it will take you to a entrance that has been closed for years and is no where near where you go to enter this valley!

New course! Brand new Innova DisCatchers. Scenic views of the Grand River. Signs with distances and hole map. Located in multi-use park. Great course for beginners. Tricky shots. Some elevation. Some water. Plans for 9 more holes. #1 Pro is introducing the sport to an area with no courses.

Signs are cemented directly behind kick boards (need to be moved to the side to allow for run up). No distances over 375 feet. Benches, trash cans and "next tee" signs would increase my rating.

Overall, this is a great start to what could be a very nice course.

First 18 hole disc golf course in Lake County.
Plenty of challenging holes with obstacles.
Some of the original 9 holes have been made longer.
Better course tee signs.
Concrete tee pads.
Park and course are well kept.

Some people in the park do not know there is a disc golf course there and cut through the fairways. Keep your eyes open for non-disc golfers before you throw!

Scenic first 18 hole course in the county. Great views of the Grand River. The 18 hole layout is complete and concrete has been contracted. There will be a few small tweaks. All concrete will be complete by Fall 2017.
Great tee signs with next hole arrows.
2 water hazards.
Parking. Restrooms except winter.
A very nice course for beginners and all, as some holes can be challenging.

Multi use park may be crowded on weekends and nice days.

The 18 hole layout is great! If you have not please come to Painesville and give it a try. Concrete will be a reality by the fall 2017. If you feel the course has improve please re rate it. Thanks to ALL who have supported this effort.
