- As an introduction to disc golf for new players, this course serves its community very well. The holes have just enough interest: a left to right shot on hole 1 that approaches a creek, a tree to maneuver around on 2, baskets placed on a small mound on 4 and a bigger mound on 8, and longer throws with a little elevation change on 7 and 9.

- It's mostly open, and multiple baskets are easily visible from any point on the course. The baskets spin inside PVC sleeves, so the number plates may not be facing the correct tee as you'd expect. Check out the posted map to get a feel for the layout.

- I think a few of the basket placements have changed slightly since the map and photos were uploaded in 2012. I know for sure that hole 4 now plays across the walking path twice, all the way to a small elevated spot at the southeast end of the park. This puts it in the middle of fairway on hole 5.
- Tee signs are small metal plates mounted to the top of angle-cut 4x4 posts. They are easy enough to find and they have the basic info (hole, length, par), but with so many baskets visible from every tee, they are somewhat limited in the assistance they offer.
- My conclusion is that it's a great spot for young or newer disc golfers in this community. It's the type of entry-level course that I think everyone should have access to, and if I lived in the area my kids and I would be regulars.
- Advanced players shouldn't bother. Those at rec and intermediate level will have the longer holes to test their distance accuracy, but there's not enough to draw them back on a regular basis - there are other courses in the area that are a better test of their skills. Because of its relatively low ceiling for player development, it's not getting a great rating from me, but that doesn't mean I don't value its purpose and use.


Family Friendly Rating: 4.0
PROS: This small-town park course is playable for all ages, without much risk of injury or disc loss. It never strays too far from the parking lot, and baskets are all in view from the tee areas. Everything is visible in front of you, so just make sure you look where you're throwing to make sure it's clear. There's a playground next to the parking lot, and pushing a stroller would be pretty easy if you're in that stage of parenting.
CONS: It's in a multi-use park, so you'll have to keep your eye on young disc-flingers so they're not throwing at other people on the walking trail.

I visited this course on a fall weekend afternoon and was the only one in the park, possibly even the town. It was dead quiet.

As the course surrounds a 1/2 mile walking path, it's fairly easy to follow the counter clockwise path for the first 6 holes, then it sort of shoots back and forth east/west for the last 3.

Grass is well mowed, even in November.

Baskets aren't always level, but otherwise well marked with large numbers on top and good chains. Chains actually looked brand new.

In 2017, it looks like the Lions club planted trees in the park. Once they mature, it will add a little more challenge (and shade) to the course.

No tees. Just a wooden marker with the number, par and distance. No maps or even a vague direction to throw. #6 was especially confusing as you can see a basket up the hill and to your right. that's actually #7. The ground was muddy enough to make a strong drive difficult.

A few markers are missing. The map on this site is either incorrect or outdated.

Most of the holes are along the fenceline of the park. Fence is barbed wire, and the surrounding brush is very thorny. Fair amount of trash in the brush, probably popular with underage drinkers. On the upside, you'd need to have a really lousy throw to lose a disc.

So the other reviews don't paint a great picture, but since I was in the area, I gave it a go. In retrospect, should have driven a little further to Goshen instead. This is NOT a road-trip worthy course.

When you pull up to the lot, you can see 90% of the course from your car.

It's not an imaginative or inspiring course. Someone basically bought 9 baskets a few years ago and slapped them along the walking path.

With all that in mind, I decided to stick with the main rule of disc golf and just tried to have fun. After all, I was getting to play disc golf!

Honestly, it was... OK. None of the holes are very challenging, and I could see that if the park was in use (walking path, basketball court) that it would be downright annoying to play.

Since I was the only one in the entire park for about an hour, I took the opportunity to just grip and rip a few driver shots from a few different grips. Since it's wide open, I threw some really nasty forehand and overhead drives with no worries of losing a disc.

Unless you live within about a ten minute drive, I can't honestly recommend this course to anyone. I was disappointed after driving 15 minutes from Batavia.

Next time I'm in town, I will skip this in favor of other courses on the east side.

There is nine holes in a nice park. The baskets are disc nation baskets and in excellent shape. There is zero mud on the course, entire course is grass covered, even late winter, early spring. Almost totally flat, but the lone small hill is used nicely with an uphill approach to #8 and a downhill tee shot on # 9.

This course holds water ridiculously. We did have a little rain a couple days prior to the round, but I played other courses this same day without issue. There was standing water as I walked through the fairways.
Another big issue is that nearly every shot is over or through the walking trail. If this is a crowded day, look out. Also, another hole plays right along a basketball court and picnic table.
The fence that runs along the course looks tough to negotiate, but it would take a pretty bad shot or a real windy day to come into play.
Tee pads are brown spots of worn out grass. With wet conditions, were totally unusable.

Not being from the area this was a little tough place to find. Personally, I'd spend more time at the other east side courses if I was in the area. This was one of the least enjoyable rounds of disc golf I've ever played.
