Fun for a middle school

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

+9 nice baskets. All in good shape.
+Used the land that they had to work with well. School courses rarely have great disc golf land. Usually, the courses are placed on the fringes of the athletic fields and parking lots. This one at least has a number of trees and some hills. Better land than most midwest school courses that I've played.
+This course has a decent variety of shots. Some holes were pretty wooded, some more open. Some pretty short and aceable, some longer. In a populated area without a lot of courses, this one probably gets a lot of use by a variety of skill levels.

Cons:

-Lots of baskets are placed pretty close to where the backyard fences are of neighboring houses. I'm sure discs end up in backyards often. Other holes throw near roads, parking lots, and buildings.
-No signage makes navigation hard. It also looks like there's multiple different layouts used by the school or locals. Or at least multiple tees on some holes? I used the other disc golf app to aid in navigation.
-A few concrete tees, some rubber, some dirt. Not a lot of consistency. Hopefully working towards all concrete. The ones that were there were pretty small.
-Like most school courses, it is off limits during school hours.
-Definitely saw some poison oak on one of the holes with taller grass.

Other Thoughts:

+Overall, this is a pretty fun course that could be even better with more attention to detail and consistency. Signs and better tees would do this course wonders.

Interesting Name, Uninteresting Course

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 16, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Good for middle schoolers- beginner/intermediate level friendly.
-Solid baskets with hole numbers on top
-Hole 7 is a fun down hill toss
-Not a gimme course- 3 holes are of considerable distance

Cons:

-No course map, signage, or anything to help navigate, other than the holes on the baskets
-Only playable when the school and fields are not in use

Other Thoughts:

Klaxberger plays just fine. Glad to see schools with courses and I would certainly play after school if I were a student here.
The first three holes are fun little wooded shots, and then it gives way to some open, longer fairways. Favorite shot was down and around the baseball field on hole 7.. pretty sure I would have nailed the second basemen had a game been in progress.
Holes 8 and 9 are tucked in the woods in front of the parking lot, but give you more opportunities to break in your discs off the hardwood.
If you're in the area on an evening/weekend, it's worth checking out, but I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to play here.
