Pros:
These baskets are not only, the prettiest baskets I've ever seen, but they stand out in the trees and bushes so well. Why would anyone but any other color? And their white numbers are easy to read from any distance. And I used to think that yellow Discatchers showed the best.
I'm a little more impressed with Riverbend South than I was with the North. First, I like walking on the soft forest paths way more than the river bottom rock. Secondly, I think the course was a little more interesting and creative. And of course, I loved the orange baskets.
The course has the same nice long 16' concrete tee pads with the hole #, par, distances and route on a metal plate that is imbedded into the concrete. It is vandal proof. Most holes on the course were in 200-300' range but were a little more creative and interesting than those on the North Course.
# 14 was a pretty hole with kind of a natural looking fairway.
I liked # 18 being an island hole. It just made an ordinary hole more special and a tad more of a challenge.
Cons:
The tee pads can be a bit of a pain to see without a tee sign sticking up.
Creepy homeless dudes lurking everywhere around the park.
Probably not enough challenge for better or stronger armed players.
Chance of losing discs in the Feather River on # 5.
Other Thoughts:
Combined with the North 18, this gives local players a solid couple of courses to play. Drive 17 miles down the road to Brown's Valley and you have 36 more excellent holes at the Splat Hill courses (if you can find a time when they're open fir business). Actually, they have recently finished a 18 hole mini pitch and putt course, too. That's a lot a disc golf in a reasonably small area. Local golfers are pretty fortunate to have so many options to pick from.
