Good course. Nothing too special but a fun course. Easy to find your disc if you miss.

Fun course with some long par 3s

Its ok. Kinda bland with some woods that are a bit odd. Hole 8 has lots of thorns in the woods.

Fun, fast playing course, flows really well. Its basically a big circle around the park with no chance of getting lost or missing tees. Very beginner friendly as most shots are straight and wide open. Very few areas to lose a disc. Shot variety is basically non existent, save for a few holes, so its better as a practice round than a challenge. This is okay though because it plays so quick and the openness allows more focus on form without the distraction of obstacles. Almost all of the tees are just painted on tge walking path, which is fine as long as there aren't a lot of walkers out. Watch out for poison ivy in the few wooded areas you may find yourself in. Everything is a par 3 which is not beginner friendly on some of the holes, but most holes are 300ft or less. Park is kept up well, and there are 2 football fields that are nice to warm up in or try different throws. Overall, though it is a very basic straight foward course, its a fun low pressure round.

Quick and easy 9 hole. Mostly open shots with 2 or 3 partially wooded holes.

i lost discs

@feox88

Poor layout. A lot of walking between holes and blind shots into walking paths. Will return to replay hole 3 for the laughs

Not for beginners. All par 3s. Even the 400+ holes. Tees are a painted line in the parks walk path.

There are a good mix of open holes and holes using the tree areas around the park but the lack of accurate signage makes it hard to plan a hole if you haven’t played here. Also, given how many of the tree holes set up, calling everything a par 3 makes this a much tougher course to score low on.

Very difficult for beginners. 3 par with 200-450ft ranges. Gets hot with very little shade. Long distance in a circle like pattern for a 9 hole.

Poor coarse design. Busy walking path used for tee boxes.

@ambarksdale

Kept up nicely. Not a bad beginner course.

@coachgast

Nicely kept. Poor design. Tee pad 1 and basket 9 are 3/4 mile apart. Only hole 4 and 6 require skill shots. Hole 3 is just stupid.

@brianphillips

The few wooden holes here are fun. But then you go back to wide open on the last few holes.. park is nice and clean

Everything in the park cut and nice and pretty. Some holes are like WTF? Hole 1 have to chunk over 40 foot evergreens and then wildflower “preserve” to the left so you have to be careful. I don’t mind throwing off a walkway, but whomever decided to put some baskets where they did you either have to lay up or play it OG McBeth because the entrance to the green is about 12 feet after 270 open. If you go into the brush, Just give it to the gods… Wasn’t bad but for one person I would imagine the risk of losing at least one disc is highly probable…. Finally hole two after a rain, there’s about a 20 foot crevasse where disks usually end up because in the woods there is not a fairway, lol, so make sure you bring some food in case you have to spend the night because you can’t get out, lol

@rowdog

Nice course!

UPDATE: The new layout is more enjoyable that the original. A few holes still throw along or over walking paths. Hole 8 is great use of the land. Glad to have a course in town.
