I'm brand new to this and have only shot this park and Boundary Waters. The course is not bad. I like the map of the hole at the tee box. It could use some kind of directional marker at the hole to show where the next tee box is. I have been there twice and haven't found holes 10 and 11. I absolutely hate hole #9 and wish they would change it. There are always people on the walking track either walking or fishing to the left and a fenced off area to the right. You have to shoot straight and being new, that doesn't happen much. My son inadvertently hit a boy in the face who was fishing. That'll put a damper on a day of disc golf. I don't know the hole # but if you've got kids with you you might as well skip it because it takes a pretty good toss to clear the huge kudzu patch. If one goes in there I'm not willing to risk finding a snake to get a frisbee. So, there are some things I wish were better, but it isn't bad.

Too many civilians around to hit with a stray. 3 retention ponds to lose a disc in. Lanes are too tight. Hole #9 is unplayable without hitting a super straight perfect throw. Holes 10-12 are 9000 m ... show more ›

Too many civilians around to hit with a stray. 3 retention ponds to lose a disc in. Lanes are too tight. Hole #9 is unplayable without hitting a super straight perfect throw. Holes 10-12 are 9000 miles away from #9 and #13. Layout is not good, many holes are in a flood/drainage plain, so that's gonna play great after a rain. A lot of the holes are also super short and just seem lazy. Also what is up with the zombie spikes leading into Hole#5? Won't be back, would rather play the defunct White Oak than here.

For a brand new par 3 course, Hunter Memorial still has a lot of development left to go, but it has the support of the Parks and Recreation department and we're seeing progress. The layout itself is pretty good, with many baskets having attainable birdie shots. The challenge for the course is in the narrow firing lanes--a good example being holes 4 and 9, where if you find yourself hooking left or right then you find yourself OB a well. There are quite a few fenced off areas to consider when playing here, and most of them are off-limits to the public for safety concerns (retention ponds, etc. that can bring about a broken heart/lost disc), so be mindful of what kinda plastic you want to risk to get around those trees on hole 3, the second shot on 4, or the drive from 8. There is more to be seen here, as the course has longer pads in the works, permanent signage, etc., so I suggest you pop over and give it a shot if you're looking for something easy on the arm and family quick to play through.
