Pros:
(0.449 Rating) A family friendly course layout that can also be used as a practice area for skilled players on base.
- FORGIVENESS - Osprey is very beginner friendly. There are no hazards on this layout. Losing a disc will be limited to forgetting to pick up.
- FAMILY FRIENDLY - Looks like a nice place for a military family to bring everyone. In addition to the five baskets, there are ball fields, playgrounds and a splash pad. So younger kids will have multiple things to do here in addition to disc golf.
- MAINTENANCE - Like every base course I've played thus far, the grounds appear to be mowed regularly.
Cons:
Osprey DGC takes twenty minutes just to sign-in.
- ACCESS - Being Military or knowing someone who is, is required. Thank you again DGCR members Mr. Butlertron and Hello Kitty for getting me in here.
- 5 BASKETS - Having this few of baskets definitely hurts the rating for this course. A few may argue that it's not even a course, although I'd disagree due to the numbering of the baskets and the fact that there are 5 baskets here.
- NO LOOP - Basket (5) is almost a 1000 foot walk back to tee (1). Perhaps there's a local way to play backward to baskets (4), (3), (2) and (1) for 9 holes.
- UNDEFINED CHALLENGE - No tees were marked on my visit, so my guide had to recall where the flags were from 2 years ago. Without the defined layout, rating the challenge of this course is limited. Regardless, looks and feels like a Novice level layout. Just a few trees to weave around and short holes. Advanced players would be unsatisfied throwing anything other than all birds. There are obviously numerous ways to throw a round here, but every course could say the same thing. Safari possibilities don't affect how I rate courses.
- CHARACTER - Just about no amenities or course comfort items. Even the some of the core basics like tee signs and tee pads are missing. As noted above, numbered DISCatchers. Probably nearby are the typical park items like restrooms and shelters.
- UNIQUENESS - Five blah short park style shots.
- SAFETY HAZARDS - A couple shots play along parking areas and park roads. It seems like space was available to avoid these features.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Not good and I'd put this course into my bottom 10 percent. Buildings and roads are in view the entire time.
Other Thoughts:
Really not much good I can say about this course. The most redeeming quality I found was the fact that I bagged another course. Mr. Butlertron said he would never play here again, and I apologize to him for me asking him to take me here.
