Pros:
-- Great baskets and signs, particularly for a 9-hole course in a city park.
-- Plenty of parking.
-- A course map is located by the parking lot (near basket 3).
-- Speaking of No. 3, the basket basically sits on an island created by walking paths and the creek. It's not a long hole, but accuracy is crucial. This is true on other holes as well because of the walking path.
-- The park is clean, and there are trash cans.
-- Restrooms (although not in good shape) are available near the ball fields.
-- Water comes into play on many holes, but it's a small creek ditch, so you can usually recover your disc.
Cons:
-- Natural tee pads are not in good shape and aren't well marked. Those are the short tees. The long tees are from the walking path and are only marked with spray paint. If there are people in the park, most of these tee pads are not usable.
-- The land is decent for disc golf, but the park is so crowded already (baseball/softball fields, basketball court, walking path, football field) that many times of day you will either have long waits or might be unable to play at all. Hole 9 could be especially bad because it tees (and plays) over the edge of and beside the football field.
-- Holes 1 and 9 are on opposite sides of the park, so no matter where you start, you will have a long walk.
-- Creek crossings. While using the creek as an obstacle provides some challenge/interest, the crossings are not good. A big, permanent bridge near basket 3 is good, and a smaller wooden crossing bridge is available near basket 8. However, at least one more decent crossing bridge (between 4 and 6), is needed.
-- Holes 7/9 share a tee area. The tee signs are on the same post.
Other Thoughts:
-- This is a short course (No. 9 at 300 fee is the longest hole) with a few obstacles set in a city park. It's good for people new to the sport and anyone who wants to work on his/her short game with mids and putters. I don't have a big arm, so I threw driver on two holes (5 and 9).
-- If you pair this with the 9-hole course 1/4 mile down the road, you get a good 18-hole course, especially if you play Carver during a non-peak time. On two visits mid day on Wednesdays, I basically had the park to myself. Even on a Saturday morning in July, the park wasn't crowded.
