Pros:
+ Some manageable tree cover, a few open areas, approachable hills and a narrow stream round out the course's features.
+ The whole park is safe, busy and quiet.
+ All 18 tee signs are well illustrated and informative.
+/- The fairways are pretty short.
+ All 18 tee pads are made of solid poured concrete, but...
Cons:
- ...All 18 tee pads are comically small.
- There is no 'next' signage of any kind here.
-/+ The fairways are pretty short.
- There are walking paths everywhere. Please use caution when throwing.
- Some of the holes throw concerningly close to children's play areas.
- No practice basket.
Other Thoughts:
For looks, I liked hole5 the best. Even though it's right next to a road, the wide open view of the fairway from atop that hill, the steepest of the course, was a nice thing to see. For playing, I liked hole8's downhill play through its tree-dodging fairway. As for a least favorite, hole7 had the course's nicest tree cover, but the basket was near a residential road. I don't like that because of the obvious consequences.
Boyertown Park is a smaller course with a peppering of trees and some modest hills crammed into its borders. The design team made efficient use of what little land they were given, and the result is a competently put-together circuit of 18, if a little lacking in challenge.
Distance is not the challenge because the fairway average is 265 feet. That might seem a bit snoozy to experienced players but just right to newer entrants. Tree cover presents a slight challenge because two or three holes have a devious level of pine and oak in the way. Otherwise, most holes can be best described as 'park-style.' Terrain is a mild challenge. A small stream comes into play four times. Plus, there are some gentle slopes throughout with some noticeable inclines on holes5 and 8. All told, it's a good training ground for newbies.
I should again mention, however, that this place is very popular. I played here in the middle of winter, and there were still other parkgoers all over the place. I can imagine that this course might be tough to play safely and/or quickly on a nice day.
Also, while it's true that there are no 'next' signs, and I still wish every course could have them, disc golfers' logic usually prevails. Just look for the tall wooden posts by each tee.
Speaking of tees, wind-ups are impossible on tee pads this small. You need to do a stand still drive or count your steps backward and start in the dirt/mud. Watch your step.
Anyway, in closing, Boyertown is fine. It doesn't do anything wrong, but it won't stick in your head much, either. I would say that it's best suited as a decent training course, so long as you take into consideration not hitting people with discs. I can recommend Boyertown to course baggers looking for a quick 18 and newer players who want to experience a miniature version of what the larger courses can offer. It won't blow you away, but let's leave that to the bigger courses.
