Pros:
- Course is set in a big city park that has some ponds and woods. There is a lot of other activities here, with parks, pavilions, benches, roads, paths, etc. Definitely a chance for interference on a busy day.
- Roughly half of the holes here are set in the woods/trees to force line shaping of some sort. There are some smaller shots, like a low ceiling shot on #8 and a very tight RHBH anny on #10, which require good accuracy to avoid the rough. Others are more open, like a grassy meadowy shot on #7, a low ceiling shot on #13, a small hyzer around a grove of trees on #14, a RHFH hyzer around the woods on #15, and a RHFH or RHBH shot on #16. The best shot is #17, a downhill tunnel that opens up over a small ditch, with water on the left.
- The rest of the holes are out in the open, with a variety of challenges. #2 is a 600+ bomber with a long tee over a creek, and #3 comes back over the creek from an elevated teepad. #5 is a steep uphill shot through some trees, and #6 shoots back down the hill to a basket in front of the forest. #4 and #12 are RHFH hyzer shots, downhill, with water looming on the right.
- Elevation changes aren't too shabby overall. The shots up and down the small hill on #4 and #5 are short but steep, while #3 is long and gentle. Both shots next to the ponds, and #17, are decent downhill tosses.
- Water is used well here; the larger bodies of water are definitely in play on #4, #12, and #17, and the creek is in play on #3 and #5. It is easy to play it safe, if desired.
- Good mix of hole lengths, there are some true bomber shots out here over 500', some short technical shots, and many in between. Different lines as well, plenty of chances for backhand and forehand shots, and maybe an overhand or roller in a few spots with elevation or a low ceiling.
- Nice tee signs and baskets, natural tees aren't in too bad of shape. Navigation isn't too bad with some signs and painted baskets, some tricky walks after #12 and #17.
Cons:
- A lot of shots here are pretty wide open, starting with holes #1 and #2. #6 is wide open, #9 is a shot out of the woods with few other trees, and #18 is also clear. They are all on the long side, at least, so it's fun to chuck some discs around.
- Layout is a little funky, the walks from #12 to #13 and #17 to #18 are very long and can be confusing the first time through. You're also playing near roads and fences, it's a very public place.
Other Thoughts:
- Overall, a pretty fun course that has a good number of different shots. There are the wide open bombers, some tighter technical shots, decent elevation, and some water. Nothing is spectacular, but it covers a little bit of everything. Great for beginners to learn the game (as long as they don't throw in the water or at park goers), and good for intermediate players. Advanced players will be able to cruise through it.
- $8.00 is kind of steep... carpool to save costs!
