Weird layout

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 28, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Great looking baskets
- Minor elevation changes on every hole
- Can be played in under 30 minutes
- Like most Utah courses, great scenery
- Most likely will have the course to yourself
- Practice basket

Cons:

- No real obstacles, very open course
- Tee signs have been vandalized which is weird for such a nice neighborhood
- Long grass on holes 4 through 9
- Potential to lose discs in neighbors yards
- Most fairways are also walking paths for locals
- Most tee pads are natural
- Not much challenge
- Strange course flow and starting area
- Wasted/unused space for better holes

Other Thoughts:

Not sure why they start the course up the hill past the practice basket with the tee pad practically in a neighbor's back yard. Easily could have fit another hole using the practice basket as hole 1 and a tee pad closer to the road where you park. Why make me walk 400 feet up a hill to start the course, very weird. Also there is lots of space on this side of the street for more holes or a longer hole, strange.

After hole 3 is where you cross the road and play into the four foot tall grass with baskets on the edge of the park property. Not a well thought out course on a less than ideal piece of land makes for a stinker. Course baggers and super locals only.

Good thing they didn't pour any tee pads yet. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 4, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well maintained park in a new neighborhood.
Big clear high-contrast white-on-black tee signs with huge hole numbers!
Visible targets with the orange Mach band and standard hole number plates.
No chance of losing a disc WITHIN the park.
No trees (if you like that).
Expansive views of mountains and far-off Utah Lake.
Sneaky elevation.
One of the first to be snow-free.

Cons:

Some tee signs missing (may not have been installed yet).
Flow is not very instinctive. It takes a lot of walking around to see the hole and tee numbers, most of which seem to be pointed away from the previous tee or hole.
Players must cross a road to play all the holes.
Multiple fairways cross walking paths, some blind.
Multiple fairways cross other tees and fairways.
Multiple baskets too near to the edge of the park property.
One throw directly at the playground. There is enough margin for overthrows, but facing the playground dampens the enthusiasm for the throw.
The practice basket appears to be in the neighbor's yard. You will be tempted to putt from their balcony. Or from the adjacent playground. (Don't.)

Other Thoughts:

It would have been hard to lay this course out any worsely. Simultaneously boring, over-stretched and yet somehow cramped; with every kind of interference issue.

Fair Open Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course uses available elevation in a variety of ways. Some down hill shots, a shot over a bowl, a couple uphill shots.
Course is very clear, which makes finding discs easy.
All tees are clear, although material is varied.
The park is well kept and the holes are in good condition.

Cons:

Course is lacking in trees, but the few trees available are used well.
Holes are primarily the same length.
A map at the beginning of the course would be useful, as well as maps on the tees.

Other Thoughts:

The sponsor of each hole is printed on the tee, which is interesting.
