New Layout!! Two weeks ago the course underwent improvements and was updated for the 1st time in years. Although some classic holes have disappeared, new, needed, more difficult holes have replaced them. The new layout better utilizes a wonderfully wooded area that had only been used for three holes previously. Now woods are in play for 9 holes. There are short left, long left, short right, long right and, with the addition of 4 par four holes, much more distance than ever before on the cou ...

There are no tee pads, no signs, and the baskets are in terrible shape. It's not the kind of course that you would expect to pay to play. The park needs to put some of the money collected at the gate into this course. Burchfield Park has proven that locals are willing to pay for a great course and Fitzgerald has some amazing landscape that is unique to this park.

New layout is quite challenging. Definitely flows a lot better than it used to! Glad some of old holes are gone but also sad that some of them got taken out. This new layout utilizes parts of the park very well, it's now more wooded with some very nice additions. It's a pleasant stroll through the course with minimum traffic from walkers, joggers, etc. Nine cement pads are in! This course still needs a lot of work before I bring the rating up to an A. We need 9 more cement pads, a few jun ...

I liked this course a lot. Only played it once in the winter so far and never played the previous layouts, but the current routes through the trees are really cool. Local club has been raising money for baskets and other improvements and this is definitely a course I'll come back to play again.

Although woefully lacking in signage and long walks between holes, this is a nice challenging course. Good variety of long open holes and shorter and technical wooded holes that require left and right shot shaping. Mild elevation, concrete pads, forgiving rough and no water hazards. The ChainStar baskets are older but decent. A very clean and peaceful park.

this course should b alot better considering you have to pay 5 bucks to get in! there are no cement pads just dirt and a spray painted rock on some for the tee location... there are like 3 or 4 chainstar baskets and the rest look homemade... i was expecting more from this course...

I haven't played since spring of 2014, and starting off at this course was a good decision. It's 10 times better thanks to the donations from CCR and all the players that helped make new teepads happen. I hear they are also getting new chainstars and that will make this course perfect.

Course design is good for right / left, long / short throws. Existing park environment suits my taste for big trees and no silly thicket traps. New in -woods holes add variety but need clutter and pathway/fareway resolutions. Expect improvements will come naturally and full potential will be realized. I will visit again to enjoy progress.

This is a very nice course with a great mix of holes out in the park with lanes through giant trees where you can rip it, and more technical holes in the woods. A great combo for sure. Cons right now are the terrible baskets-they should be replaced this spring-and the long walks from many baskets to the next teepads. This course will be at least a B+ course worthy of playing often, once the new baskets are put in.

Every hole here was great, but that really can't take away from the other glaring problems this course has.

Unfortunately, I have to say I have never been to a course with a layout more poor than this. I couldn't find my way from one hole to the next on several occasions. Proper signage needs to be an area that is focused on here. The bugs were also absolute awful in the woods.

SUMMARY: Maintenance required. Ledges, where? Thomas Kinkade, IRL. Beware of bio-hazards. Note: I am not a >900 rated player. That said, I play a LOT of solo disc golf. I refer below only to those things that challenge, frustrate, and/or excite me. YMMV THE GOOD: August Majesty: The park, particularly right now in Autumn, is absolutely gorgeous. The trees and leaves and colors... I hardly minded the poor 10 - 16 travel, as it afforded me time to really take in the scenery. Spying the pon ...

I was upset to get there and discover the layout. Way too long of walks in between holes. The pics need updated, because the holes have changed. I found it to have some beautiful holes followed by some worse than average. When your walking a football fields length to get to the next tee, this is wrong. Didn't like throwing thru the park as families were playing and eating. Overall I would say, I won't go back anytime soon. Potential is unlimited, nice land and space.

The first 14 or so holes are great. I really enjoy the holes where there are large trees (oak or ash or something) 70+ ft tall just thick enough to challenge a player, but that still leave viable lanes open. They are just beautiful holes. There are also numerous holes with elevation changes of 20 feet or more. However, the last few holes really taint the experience as you throw around a sewage tank of some sort. Yay. A redesign of the last few holes could elevate this course to A- status if done well.

Been a long time since I played it, but I remember wishing it was in my backyard! The alternate holes they had set up for the tournament were a great addition, and the park itself is so scenic it makes the round worth it. Would definately be improved by cement teepads, but wearing your golf cleats helps alot too :)

Its was raining yesterday, so there was some standing water in some of the tee boxes. Could use signs or additional markings for some of the tees. However, there have been improvements made since the last time I was here, with little flags marking the tee boxes. Overall, nice course, a good mix of open and wooded holes, and its improving.

great scenery, love the ledges. nice elevation holes (down sledding hill, uphill in the woods, across the field through treeline) and variety. wish there was actual markings for the holes, and dirt teepads kinda suck, but the scenery and variety are well worth it.

I have been told that this was a new layout. I have to say I like it, had fun with a couple locals very friendly. Thankfully I had a tour guide, navigation is non existent. Some paper next tee signs were present and some paper tee signs existed but were woefully inadequate. Many fun short technical holes, be prepared to strike trees on every other hole. Very clean course and pay to play. Even though playing In summer no mosquitoes, no water. Elevation and variety of shots make this one very hig ...

This course was a bit of a drive for me, but well worth it (especially with the Grand Woods course only 7 miles away, so we could hit both in the same day). At the time I played this course, the basket for #5 was under a rock ledge and made for one of the most scenic courses I had ever played .... my rating of this course is up from a B to a B+ just for that basket. Unfortunately, I've heard that the basket placement has changed... still a great course though (love the raskets!) if you are in the area.
