Riverside Park

"Course was so well maintained compared to normal, but it is just an impossible layout with the people goers."

"Very long course, not a quick round. Couple of the peninsula holes are a bit repetitive. Lots of people fishing near baskets. Enjoyed the challenge makes me want to play it again"

"Brutal for water hazards. Short holes very technical to avoid water hazards"

"too good on nice days that there’s lots of people and fishers in the way of some holes"

"Floored "

"Back 9 design needs reorganization, inconsistent pads"

"Significant water on the back 9. But, who’s never gone swamping for their disc. Play when dry and geese are away."

"Nice and open but busy because it’s in a public park so try for a morning round. No signage to speak of. Most tees are concrete. Nice if you live nearby but not really worth a drive to get to. "

"Current layout is the PDGA MASTERS. Other course maps aren't accurate. REALLY wish the course would get updated with signs and teepads. Could be so much better!"

"Not a good time at all. Couldn’t find half the tee pads. UDisc is not updated at all with the current layout. Need a lot put into it "

"Long course, no surprise. No signage or tee boxes on many holes. Udisc doesn’t match up with several holes. "

"Hard"

"Only played front nine. Nice open course. "

"Lot of goose crap, but great course otherwise"

"Underrated awesome layout but back nine is challenging "

"Beautiful, long course that'll challenge your distance arm and accuracy, which makes for many tough baskets. Nice open shots for the most part, it feels like field work. Course could use some TLC with course signage "

"awesome!!!!! "

"Almost always flooded. Upkeep is minimal. Hardly any signage. This course has sadly gone down hill and continues to. "

"It’s a 4 star course but half is currently unplayable. Several baskets underwater and a few flooded fairways and some construction blocking half of a fairway off the tee pad. Better signage would be nice"

"I need to give it another chance but the signage is not great, it doesn’t seem like anyone is keeping it up and in the spring a third of the course is underwater"

"Lost blue felon on 6 / flamingo sergeant on 9 207-837-5445. Most of the course is flooded and in bad repair. There aren’t really tee signs and definitely no maps. The design is pretty awesome. A shadow of its former self, methinks. "

"If they ever put in some signs this would be an easy 4-star course."

"Flooded"

"Very long holes open distance but water holes on back 9 are hard"

"5 star course with 0 star signage. Udisc is needed to play. Most are concrete tee pads with some rubber and one natural. Very fun course that is totally worth playing. The signage is the only thing that makes this such a low rating. "

"A lot of people when we went. It’s also a very technical course with the water hazards. Pretty fun though! Very long holes compared to most courses around "

"Fun place to loose discs. Poorly marked, not all cement pads."

"I'm gonna be honest, not a fan of water hazards lol. Even tho I had fun, it was still nerve wracking"

"Need signage at tee pads. Other than that no problem "

"Nice layout with hazards but too many npcs walking around."

"Nice course, somewhat dangerous on weekends people are in the fairways. "

"Very long and very little signage. Decent course if you have a good arm"

"Desperately needs some tlc. Several tee pads have sunk into the water and missing signs. So much potential "

"Really a great (big) course. Watch the masters world championships in 2017 if you want some guidance holes. There are certainly layout and maintenance issues because the course isn’t really touched by the city. That’s why there are so many awful reviews. Some fair comments, but honestly the course makes up for it in my opinion."

"Poorly marked course. Lots of awesome pin locations, lots of water - fun, but too long!"

"Poor signage "

"Distances are off I believe"

"I really want to give this course 4 stars but I’m settling at 3.5 because the tees aren’t all marked very well... it’s also heavy traffic considering fishers, joggers, all the playgrounds, and other family gathering spots. Using the app helped a bit with navigation, but the old tee boxes made it really confusing. When it comes to the course itself it was challenging, fun water hazards, and some real good opportunities to really let it rip. "

"This is my favorite place to go to get my timing right. You have the gift of long throws, allowing you to work on foot work and long pulls. Often windy and water which provides additional challenges. Good for amateurs and pros!"

"The holes are long enough and fairways open enough to experiment off the tee. Not a lot of obstacles to avoid. "

"I rated this low just because the tees can be unclear and I lose a disc everytime I've played here from water, I think that says something about me but not good for starting to learn and you definitely need a floating disc when you player here. LOTS of water hazards and places where you lose a disc if you throw too far or short."

"A very enjoyable course within a city park."

"Really sounds like you been playing there for 15 years lol"

"Tons of potential but needs some work. Unclear where tee pads are for current layout. I don’t know where to go and I’ve played this course for 15 years."

"Older course on the Grand River. As of November 2020 it’s set up for tournament play and pretty long for average throwers. "

"Lots of people just sitting in fairways, a lot of goose poop, and terrible signage. Holes are fun though, and the water adds in some challenge and decision making"

"Should be amazing but it’s a mess of a course. "

"Had a hard time finding hole 1 plus it was loooooong but nice beautiful scenic area ...be careful to not loose your discs in the water hahaha whoop whoop!"

"Decent. Water hazards can eat discs. Frequent interruptions by park goers and some people playing holes at random."

"Lots of fun long par 4’s in a city park along a river with some shorter holes tight around a pond. Need the app to find your way"

"Get here early when it’s not flooded and it’s good"

"Lots of long holes and water, but a very nice course overall!"

"Nice course, but Signage needs work. Old signs need to be removed and your beautiful lake view is mostly algae"

"The Riverside Park layout no longer exists. Missing baskets. Good potential, but it needs work. "

"Couldn't find half the tee pads"

"Super fun to play just have to watch out for people on the paved trail "

"Needs some updated layouts was my first time there or else I would have "

"Course is very confusing for the first handful of baskets, holes are just a little too long, lots of water hazards."

"It's okay made for long arms though"

"Needs to be updated on here and needs signs by the tee pad. Decent course, but frustrating to figure it out the first time."

"Long, challenging, lots of water... some great risk reward holes."

"Great, long course but tons of goose poop everywhere "

"Great course. It’s been changed up a bit in the last few years. Was part of the 2017 world champs so you need to throw some bombs. Enjoy!"

"Bird poop everywhere"

"Without uDisc you wouldn't be able to figure out where to go to the next tee. No signs at all, an army of geese on basically all waterholes...lots of poop. There were allot of fishermen on the waterholes, obviously its a public park but made it difficult to play. There were allot of holes that were really fun tho."

"Finding tee pads is pretty difficult. And there is little-to-no signage. Also, be prepared to throw as far as you can A LOT."

"Could be a nice course, but just not feeling it. Constantly dodging pedestrians and picnickers throughout the fairways. Course is well maintained, but it is apparent there are A LOT of geese. Bring hand sanitizer and a throw away towel for your discs. "

"Fun course, but definitely one of the longest in the area. Bring your DD's and be prepared to use them. That being said. There are also a good mix of technical shots with the potential for a lot of death putts. Definitely a challenging course but very fun. Dont play if you're not comfortable around water"

"Very confusing, lots of animal poop, lots of water hazzard, and a lot of non disc golfers at the park. The only thing it has going for it is its a championship level course."

"Course unplayable. Half the baskets are submerged in water. 90% of holes covered with water. Don't bother playing right now."

"little wet"

"Looked to be mowed recently. Poo mostly on back 9, not as bad as I’ve seen (poo). Swamps have dried up a bit."

"Requires Udisc to play the course. Most holes don't have signs and several don't have tee pads. Still a fun course to play and throw big shots though."

"Lotsa goose poop! "

"Great time to play. Mowed and dry."

"In good shape right now"

"A little confusing to navigate without UDisc but the shot selection is so much fun here just wish there were more concrete pads"

"Love the scenery and shot shapes of this course but signs and new teepads would make this course better. Some baskets are placed near the water so it may flood easily"

"New teepads/signage would make this Grand Rapids flagship course. Multiple shot selections on every hole, great risk/reward. Lengthy, but beautiful. A couple of the holes are tricky finding the pad/pin. "

"Needs some work. Nice layout and mad potential but needs tees and maps. More direction to T pads. Was little confusing finding the tees."

"Confusing after 13, couldn’t find tee pads "

"Needs signage, plays long"

"More goose poop than grass"

"Hard to find tee boxes on back 9"

"Fun, but difficult with all the water holes. The course was reset, so some of the pads are facing the wrong direction and the last few holes do not have pads. Could use some signage to help find your way. Overall great, but difficult course once you know where you’re going."

"Long fairways. Some water hazards. Markers for the tees need to be updated or replaced. Still fun tho"

"Would be an incredible course if they put some work into it. Needs concrete pads on all holes & signage."

"Signage and cement tees would go a looong way. But I like all the long throws now :)"

"Really big park with fun water challenges. Needs new signs and better tees. I really enjoyed playing this course but the uncertainty of basket location and tee pad locations was a little frustrating and keeps it from being a 4 Star course."

"Great, long course. However it is lacking good signage and tee pads. "

"Definitely worth playing but most of the signs are missing "

"Just wish there was something that could be done about all the goose crap!"

"Nice greens and a good mix of holes but it needs more signage. Very easy to get turned around. Layout does not match udisc. "

"water and goose shit. "

"No tee signs, most of the tees for the championship layout are natural and unmarked. Not a bad course just not very technical. "

"Holes set up in an awkward manner, a lot of flooding happens here as well"

"What y7 number76bb"

"Ob lines marked from the River City open still and circle one. Looks great."
