Pros:
- Long and Short Concrete Tees
- Long and Short baskets present on all holes with Mach 5's so no spit thru's.
- Set in an old established park. The course has definitely seen some years and it shows in a good way. The fairways were nicely broken in but no too much to the point where it is just mud.
- Awesome lighthouse basket placement on hole 10 long. Doesn't add much difficulty to the hole but makes it look cool.
- A good amount of short and long holes.
- There is very much so a choose your own adventure style to this course. You can choose to play long to long or short to short or anything in between.
Cons:
- Needs fairer fairways. From the long to the long there are a lot of holes that left me walking away just shaking my head and wondering who designed this hole so terribly.
- Short baskets are hard to see. The long baskets have an orange band around them so they are quite easy to find but the shorts are pretty much camouflage with the foliage.
- There were a few times where I walked around for a while trying to find the next tee and even the pin on the hole I was on. uDisc's new GPS map helped me a ton in finding everything but I shouldnt have to rely on GPS to find the next hole.
- There are a lot of pedestrians at the park in general and a good majority of them are oblivious to disc golf. Because of this they were just wondering on the course and just stopping in the fairway or next to baskets. It made for a very annoying long round.
- There were a few holes where there was just one route to take to the basket and that route didnt make a lot of sense. It left me feeling like it didnt matter how good or bad you were because no matter what your shots are going to more then likely going to end up in the same spot.
- Took me a little while to figure out where to park and then where hole 1 was.
- There was some random OB on holes that was in the middle of the fairway. I dont understand why you would do this.
- Multiple holes seemed like it was more about how lucky you could get rather then how good you are.
Other Thoughts:
I only played here once and I played long to long since that layout should fit my skill level. Because of this my review is skewed a bit since there could be a different layout that is better then the long to long. But long to long is not a good layout. Its just not fun and wasn't designed well. Its like they had a beautifully designed course and then decided to add long tees and pins to make the course more difficult but then didn't cut any new fairways for the course. I don't ever leave a disc golf pissed or angry that I played but the day that I played here I did. I just felt like this course has so much potential and its just wasted. This course has everything going for it, big beautiful park, rolling hills, water, elevation, ob, tunnels, bombs, great parking, everything is here except for the design in my opinion.
Taking this course for what it is it isnt terrible and everybody plays the same course but it still needs to be fair in my opinion.
