Pros:
+ A practice basket and course map are right next to hole1.
+/- Two tee areas per hole, but they're just dirt/grass.
+ New, numbered and visible baskets.
+ Tee signs exist with distance and par, but...
Cons:
- ...they don't always point towards the fairway, and since they also don't have diagrams on them, that's a big deal.
- With perhaps one exception, it plays wide open, flat, brief and boring.
- Dull straight-forward fairways.
- Dull venue, too.
Other Thoughts:
My favorite hole was hole6. There was a skinny line of trees that I had to poke through. Everything else was basically wide open and featureless.
And yet, open as it is, I still ended up throwing towards the wrong basket. Twice. Normally when the player stands on a tee, the assumption is that the back of the tee sign generally points towards the target fairway or basket. Holes4 and 7 do not do this, and there are no diagrams on the tee signs here. Standing at 4, I threw towards basket1. Standing at 7, I threw towards basket8. Both of those holes' baskets are far to the right of the tee instead of the baskets dead ahead. So first timers might be initially confused here.
But I will say that it just might be a good entry point for beginners. If you're introducing someone to the sport, this is a low pressure place to go because there are so few things in the way. It's not very fun, though.
No elevation, precious few trees, repetitive fairways and a boring setting characterize the nine holes at Willow Park. It is a training ground at best. If you want to go somewhere to practice your approaches and not be disturbed, then Willow is the place. If you're fresh to the sport and just want to dip your toe in the water, then Willow is the place. If you are looking for a meaningful and worthwhile disc golfing experience, then Willow is not the place.
