Pros:
As you drive up to Victory Street Park on Victory Street, you're welcomed with two Street signs, one says "Dog Park" and the other reads "Disc Golf Course-First Tee." Boys and girls, Disc Golf is becoming more mainstream all the time.
Victory Park is a smallish neighborhood park a block wide and maybe three blocks long. The primary occupants of the park is the fenced dog park. There were a couple of discs lying in there. The park has a nice looking children's playground and this great little beginner disc golf course.
The course starts in the center of the park between the play area and the dog park. There is a small golf rules sign and the tee sign. The old school fiberglass tee signs are only about two tall and they give you the hole #, distance and a basic map. There are no tee pads, just slightly worn spots in the grass. One was particularly slippery. The baskets are a pretty, powder blue colored, model MVP Disc Golf.
Like previously mentioned, the holes average distance is 181'. They range from # 5 at 252' to # 4 at 126. Most of the holes are straight forward with a little hyser needed. # 5 plays straight down between the dog park and the street. But # 4, the shortie, was my pick for signature hole. It's only 126' BUT the basket sits behind two trees with about a five split between them. An Ace is a possibility here if you can only hit that narrow gap.
Ace possibilities on every hole.
Almost perfect course to bring that beginner or elementary school player.
Cons:
Not a whole lot in the Cons Department. The grass around the # 3 basket under water so I had to get my feet wet pulling my awesome birdie putt out.
The area around # 4 had standing water.
181' average distance.
Four or five holes were simple straight throws just needing a little hyser at the end.
Other Thoughts:
This little six hole course is great for the newbie. Short, straight forward holes with no underbrush. No chance of losing your disc. Ace runs abound. Also, this would be a fun course to come and play Ace Race with your buddies. Excellent course for putter and mid-range practice.
Not intended for advanced players !
Special note. My 1200th course!
