Pros:
Mountain Creek Park has enough open space for about 48 holes but I somehow think, even if it had 48 baskets, the course would still be empty. It's not that it's not a pretty park, it's actually quite lovely with acres of lush green grass, a smattering of elevation, the lake on one side and a few scattered trees to keep things slightly interesting. So why was I so disappointed? First, the navigation was a pain in my behind. With no signage and no course map, finding the tee pads was a problem. Luckily, some kind golfer had sprayed painted the hole number on the pads. It was somewhat reassuring that when you located a pad, to at least know what number pad it was. The tee pads were Texas sized hexagons with the small painted on numbers. The baskets were very plain DGA models.
Secondly, the wind blew strong my entire round. I'm no fan of gale force wind conditions. I'm also not a fan of birds, snakes and prickly thorn bushes either. Luckily, Mountain Creek Park had none of these.
Cons:
Cons: Wind, wind and more wind.
No signage.
No course map or kiosk or any hint of where to start.
Too wide open for me and probably most disc golfers.
Park is a popular spot for large gatherings. I had to skip one hole in order to avoid one such group.
These cons just be be the reason that I was the only disc golfer there on a lovely Sunday in May.
Other Thoughts:
This course is not that far removed from being an above average disc golf course. Just make the wind go away, add signage, get a dozer and push enough dirt around to create some hills and then plant another 200 trees and watch them grow.
