Has your wife/girlfriend ever gotten a new haircut/style that looks identical, but you're supposed to notice the subtled difference? Say hello to Dillon Park. It was redesigned, and yet it still felt exactly the same as the old layout.
- I liked the old layout of this course. You can read my old review here -
https://www.dgcoursereview.co...&mode=rev#65160. And yes, you'll notice a lot of copying and pasting from that layout.
- From the blue tees, holes average 268 feet; from the reds you're up to 345 per hole. From the blues, you're throwing a lot of midranges off the tee.
- Course has a nice flow through the park. First five holes are in the same field, with a smattering of trees on each hole serving as the obstacles.
- I'd say #6 is the course's signature hole. Some may argue #8 or 16. #6 tees off from the road, with a slight downhill fairway over a winding creek along the left side of the fairway and thick trees/rough on the right. Hole opens up in the final third. Great hole to throw multiple discs.
- From #7 onward, the course is weaving in and out of the woods. Wooded holes are, overall, generous. As should be expected, the tightest fairways are on the two shortest holes - #13 at 154 feet and #16 at 140 feet.
- #8 has the same creek as #6 that winds throughout and alongside the left side of the fairway. The creek is much more of a factor here. Once you clear the creek on this 316 foot layout, the basket is tucked away in the woods on the right side. If you're short of the basket, the further left you are, the better angle you have. The further left you are, the more you bring the creek into play. Solid design.
- This is a good course for beginners/casual players. There are short tees for newbies/kids. It does take the water out of play on #6 & 8. On #16, it somehow becomes a 41 foot layout. Only a child can brag about an ace on that layout.
