I used to have a scathing review on here that I decided was too harsh. But, there are some things that are must knows. One, the layout is confusing. I know why the design was layed out this way, but the loop from three to four to five to six is very confusing if you haven't played it before. Be VERY aware of this if you are going to play a sanctioned tournament at this course as I've seen groups hop from three to six and get a two-stroke penalty. Use UDisc to find the next hole without a lot of wandering around. Two, the tee-pads need replaced and the baskets do as well. Signs have been installed many times and were then vandalized or destroyed by flooding or felled trees many times, so they are sometimes not present and this is not really the fault of the local DG community. If you can get past these issues, you will enjoy a very challenging park-style course with several water carries, several technical woods holes, a par four and a unique wind bowl effect caused by the fact that the course is open but surrounded by trees on all sides. Once wind gets into the park, it tends to swirl so if you don't know this you'll get surprising results from your shots. This is pretty unique in my experience. There are no bathrooms in this public park. There are also very many times oblivious fishermen on holes 3 and 18.

Course is covered with goose poop. All the water (pond and rivers) is nasty. Many of the holes were missing tee signs and without the help of a 4-some of locals, I never would have found several of the holes. Still, I really enjoyed playing with 4 Ft. Wayne disc golfers (Peter Deutsch and friends).

Yes, I live in Fort Wayne. Although I have only played 6 different courses in the 3 months i have been playing. This course is challenging and by far my favorite as of this date. If you are from out of town. Come by and play. You just might like the fun you will get to have throwing them discs and get to meet other individuals that like this game as well. Enjoy and keep throwing.

Drove out from Michigan (with some friends) to play this course, and it was well worth the drive. I have to say that I liked the West side a bit better, but I played that one first and was a bit worn out (hot sunny day) by the time I got over here. A couple of shots around a gigantic water hazard (pond with island), and some long straight holes tucked in the woods near a river made for some interesting OB. A couple of the targets where bounded by OB (roads and trails) and there was even a mando with a cement tee-pad drop zone! I highly recommend the drive out to this park, an amazing course and a great time.
