Avenel Local Park

Nice course - 7 holes in a beautiful neighborhood park setting near Congressional country club, shot variety is so-so. Tee areas were good and had signs on most of them. Some shorts some longs, occasionally have to wait for walkers or other park users. Holes 3 and 4 throw over a field which it seems like they are converting into a meadow - grass is high and un-mowed without any fairway and both rounds I played I had a hard time finding my disc in the field. My only gripes are that hole 1 didn’t really have a good line and need some mowing / fairways in that field for holes 3 & 4 otherwise nice little course. I think this nice park could probably support more holes or alternate layouts with multiple tees/baskets. Maybe someday!

The grass is super tall. Gave me a skin allergy haha the tees and baskets are great though. And the shot design is decently technical. Overall it’s fun to throw here. I went on a weekday morning and it’s totally empty.

Originally a neighborhood niner with some questionable design aspects, this course was shortened and redesigned to seven holes. So it’s Safer, Shorter, and Duller. Decent gravel tees, good baskets. A few fun holes (1, 5, 7). Long grass on 2 - 4, and can’t play 6 if there’s soccer. Detailed review at Discgolfcoursereview.com

Fun little course. Be careful of other park goers.

Liked the variety of holes and the creative use of the available park space. Udisc made for easy navigation. A lot of work was done as the gravel tees were new and in good shape. The super, multiple angle, tunnel-shot mando was unnecessary and made for a chuck and pray drive.

Great course for what it is, a few fun tunnel shots

Beware the tall grass

Lovely little course around some other rec areas. On the day I played, grass was pretty long so hard to spot all discs. Some food hole designs and basket locations too. Tough to rate it much above a 3 though with only 7 holes and no setup for more.

Nice new pads, assuming the fine gravel will stay level.

Great fun course, ideally go when the soccer fields aren’t super busy!

Great new course. Gravel tee-pads. Could use directional arrows on baskets for next holes. Good interesting holes/mandos with what it has to work with.

Wish it could be 18 holes in the course , it's very well-maintained and so nice.

2024 update: now 7 holes. Holes 1, 2, 5, 7 are good fun. The other three holes are just straight shots. The tees are nice w solid signs. Hope it can expand. ***2023: Only 5 active baskets. Minimal/missing signage. Park is fairly dirty, picked up 10 pieces of trash while playing.

Was excited to play this short course but when I got here the first 3 holes have NO starting pads or baskets !! Holes 4-9 are good. I like how the last 3 holes are placesd...challenging and a little technical. None of the holes are long.

Fun 7-hole course in a beautiful local park with a decent variety of shot shapes, some elevation change, and even elevated and hanging baskets. A couple shots play along the edges of fields and parking lots and may may be unplayable when the park is busy.

For a nine hole par 3 course this is great. If you come when there's not too much activity you'll find plenty of space to warm up, shots that are wide open with a good balance of wooded shots. Tea pads are very well maintained. The space is used well I'll be coming here regularly.

A lot of very wooded, high accuracy shots. Not a course for big wide open throws. Nobody plays here. Very nice neighborhood.

This course being seven holes in a small area is bound to not have many different shots. It’s a bunch of stock Hyzers with fairway drivers for me. 6 has eagle potential with the right angle control. Fun for what it is.

This course seems like you brought a portable basket to the park and tried to find some crazy lines with your friends… and I love it. Low ceilings and tight lines with demanding mandos throughout. I think they missed an opportunity with a couple of down hill elevation shots. All in all, this is a silly course that is in a great park, for a crazy rich community. I have to just laugh at the size of the houses. Definitely will return to work on accuracy off the tee since this course demands it.
