This may be the IDEAL course for beginners and kids to play. There are very few out of bounds areas. Little to no underbrush to lose discs in. Holes are all 210-330 feet and fairly straight. If you throw left or right you still land in playable grass and can keep going. Plus the entire course is shaded by mature pines and oaks. Its challenging enough for intermediate players and an ideal place to practice and learn to play. Sure I wish it had 18 holes, but 9 is way better than zero. Do not listen to the negative reviews. This course is worth a trip if you are close by.

Well maintained course, with decent shot variety for all skill levels. Course can get a little crowded during the weekends, both on tee boxes and surrounding park/neighborhood foot traffic. Concrete tees and signage on all holes. Mostly open and available soccer field next to hole 8/9 for extra practice.

Like fine wine, this course has gotten much better over time. Most of the boxes are now paved, and the grounds are kept in great shape. Easy course for beginners, but a fun course to play for anyone. If you're practicing for aces, this would be the course to do it; a lot of the throws are pretty short and straightforward, and with the right throw it would be pretty easy to sink some in. My big problems with it are that there are always some kids to watch out for and there are a ton of people that love to slowly meander around the course, to the disadvantage of the player. I've had to wait to tee off many times while people were essentially sightseeing.

I have to say i really enjoyed this small 9 hole course. The first tee is between the parking lot and the road which you enter the park on, so you really can't miss it. The map was nice and new, and t ... show more ›

I have to say i really enjoyed this small 9 hole course. The first tee is between the parking lot and the road which you enter the park on, so you really can't miss it. The map was nice and new, and the rules ffor disc golf were also good to see. Each tee pad had a good descriptive tee sign which showed direction(s), distance, and par of each hole. There was a kids playground there, plus a couple of pic nic tables and I believe a pavillion w/bathrooms, I did not go there so I am not for sure. A few people playing while I was there. Being a 9 hole course you can navigate your way through a quick game in about 20 minutes. Nice clean park. The only debris was natural from all the rain happening in the area lately. No concrete tee pads which made for some wet and slippery tee pads. Some were really just puddles. For tee offs there are yellow tee blocks in the ground to mark the hole and boundary for each natural 'pad.' This was really my biggest concern, the non concrete tee pads, which may come in the future. Really good shade throughout the course. I did enjoy the different combinations that could be used at each hole. There are opportunities for aces on this course for sure. Birdies for am's and pro's shouldn't be much of a problem. If you can shoot straight and far, you will master this course right away. I believe the farthest holes are just over 300', however the trees can make it interesting.
Hope to play this course again, and the only reason I did not give this course a higher rating was because of the tee pads and it being a short course. There are other courses in the area, but stop by and play this one to get in a good short game.
