Pros:
Conder Park is a fun 9 hole course that allows you to air it out and also run tight and technical. It is located within a city park in the middle of Killeen. This brings bathrooms, playgrounds and trash cans, but also a lot of people. The course is fairly open with some trees.
1. The best aspect to Conder park is that you have a different look at each hole. There are no duplicates and each hole has multipule looks. This allows for fun line shaping and smart disc selection to come into play during your round. The course is fairly open with some trees, the pond comes into play on 3 holes and they use the water hazard well, there are 2 tunnel shots which play side by side. You will end up using alot of shots for a 9 holer here. Plan on using your putter on half the holes, but dont forget your driver on #4. A low ceiling shot that opens up into a 400fter with a creek in play.
2. Each hole has good concrete tee box's as well as good (not great) tee sign's. There are trash cans all over the park and it is well maintained by Killeen park and rec. There are on site bathrooms (port-a-potty) as well as a playground and picnic tables.
3. One of the little extras that I like about the park are the baskets, discatcher's and each one has a nice wood chiped circle around the pin.
4. The course is short, which allows for quick rounds, it is easy to get 3 rounds in the time you would typically take to throw a normal course. This does not take away from the holes themselves.
Overall a fun quick course, great for a family outing or getting in a few fast rounds.
Cons:
There arent to many cons for this course, hole layout and pin placements are good, so the 3 rating really comes from the fact that you can see these 9 holes pretty much at any other course.
1. The biggest con is the location of the park. It is smack in the middle of a community park. It cross walking paths, and a road. It is a very busy park and with that comes kids, parents, ducks. Watch out for kids picking up your discs, playing on the pins, and getting in the way.
2. Park location, the park is not in the greatest part of town.
3. There is not much difficulty to this course, it is fairly easy to come out and shot 2 or 3 down here. The holes are not repeative but they are a little boring. There is not much to think about once you have chosen your line. Each hole may have 1 or 2 obsticles to watch out for, a tree, pond, playground, but after that theres not much for risk/reward. Do not play expecting a tourney caliaber course.
Other Thoughts:
Overall this is a good course for the park and location. It fits well into the small park and gives the locals something to throw at. It is worth a stop if you are in the area, but not to travel from out of town for. It is quick and fun but nothing out of the ordinary.
The Killeen DG scene is quickly growing and there are almost always people playing the course in the evening. They hold Minis twice a week, an evening night that rotates, and every Saturday morning.
