Pros:
-- Restrooms on site, between 5 basket and 6 tee and near the 10 tee. Hours are limited, however, to 8:30-4:30, Monday-Friday, due to vandalism.
-- No seating at tee pads, but benches and picnic tables throughout the park give you places to rest.
-- Map at the beginning of the course.
-- Good land for disc golf, with some elevation; water is in play on five holes. If you reach the water on 9 or 11, say goodbye to your disc.
-- Best hole is 4. It's 243 feet RHBH hyzer uphill, away from other park activities. Nine (294 feet) is also a good hole. It's a RHBH hyzer shot with a steep drop-off to the river to your left. There is a 6-foot chain link fence to the right that appears intended to keep discs away from the gravel walking path; however, it likely does the opposite. Throwing between the fence and river requires some precision and courage. Most RHBH throws are going to throw a big hyzer RIGHT of the fence, over the walking path.
Cons:
-- Safety. Twelve holes are in crowded park(s) where discs should not be flying around. You start with No. 1 that has a picnic table in the fairway and a road about 20 feet past the basket. Other holes bring more picnic tables and lots of playground equipment, much of it in the direct path from tee to basket. Only holes 7-9 and 13-15 avoid that. And those holes border a walking path.
-- Cheap baskets.
-- Long walks. After finishing 6, you'll see a tee to you right; ignore it; that's 16. Turn left and cross a road and a bridge to get to 7. After 9, you'll see a tee to your right; ignore that one as well; it's 13. Turn left and follow the road into a different park (Faunt Le Roy) to plays holes 10-12, all with major safety concerns. After 12, you've got a long walk back to 13. After 15, you've got a long walk (back across the bridge and road) to reach 16.
Other Thoughts:
-- I played on a weekday during Spring Break and was surprised the park was not crowded. On most nice weekend or summer days, I imagine the park is so crowded that the course will be unplayable.
-- Concrete tee pads on some holes (original 9?); natural tee pads are not good.
-- On a mostly shorter course with plenty of obstacles, 8 stands out like a sore thumb: After 7 holes shorter than 300 feet (and only one longer than 250), you've got 798 feet across an open field with NO obstacles.
-- No. 1 tee is in the grass circle as soon as you turn into the park from Bridge Street.
