Pros:
-good variety of distances throughout the course
-makes decent use of the given area but flow is so-so
-posts for tee signs
-natural pads in good condition
-various old discatchers but they catch great, repainted bright yellow
-lots of great trees that come into play, very old and large
-friendly locals, tuesday (?) minis
Cons:
-there are some odd walks and backtracking between holes but overall it works in order to maximize the space
-the layout maximizes the space used but doesn't make the best use of the obstacles present
-no stand-out holes, only easy birdies/pars and long bombs
-some obvious filler holes
Other Thoughts:
Walker Park makes for a fun but typical round of disc golf. It is about what you would expect out of a city park in terms of terrain, design, and maintenance but a hair above average. The space is maximized and utilizes each area of the park but sometimes at the expense of a more natural flow and the best use of the obstacles available.
Most of the holes pretty wide open but several fairways have extremely tall and large mature oaks, pick a side around which to go. A few of the holes around the edge of the park have more trees and/or brush lines that come into play making them a bit more interesting, hole 6 comes to mind.
The small canal running through the course is mostly dry but I'm not sure if the locals play it OB or casual. The baskets are a mixed variety. Yes, they are old and yes, they are single-chained but they catch just fine. Every good putt went in and even a few bad putts stayed in too. I have to respectfully disagree with the previous reviewer below, the quality of the baskets is far from being the most lacking thing here.
A word about navigation: after hole 3 you will see two tees ahead. The left one is hole 4 which plays short with the basket next to a tree. The right one is hole 5 and is plays like 600-700' all the way down on the right side. Hole 10 also plays all the way to the back of the park. Tee 15 backtracks halfway up 14's fairway and then throws back to the same corner.
A decent round for locals, probably a lot more fun with a group of buddies. Not a lot of interesting holes, risk and reward, or forced lines. Worth a stop if you're in town but not worth traveling to play.
