This space would have been great for a fun 9 hole course. I disagree that there is technical shots here. Six of the back 9 holes play exactly the same. I love the baskets and the signage. You never like to see a course that has so many angry neighbors. Hopefully it can stay in the ground long enough to introduce many new players to the sport.

Went to the grand opening today and had a really good time. It seems like the city is really behind making this course work and the community is behind it.

I understand the complaints about heavy use, but there are really only 4-5 holes affected and usually not all at the same time (5 and 6 for soccer/lacrosse, 11 and 12 for baseball). Much of the land being used is drainage that is away from the flat open sections of the park.

The distances may be shorter than other courses, on average, but they make good use of terrain and obstacles to still make it challenging. If you do not bring mosquito repellent in summer, it will add a bonus challenge to your game :).

This course is well laid out. What it lacks in distance it makes up for in technical shots. The T-boxes and T signs are excellent and easily readable and descriptive. The Mach 10 baskets are visible a ... show more ›

This course is well laid out. What it lacks in distance it makes up for in technical shots. The T-boxes and T signs are excellent and easily readable and descriptive. The Mach 10 baskets are visible and the course is beautiful. The crowds will thin out after soccer and lacrosse end in about 2 weeks because school ends then. This course will change with fall and summer time. With summer coming bring mosquito spray in the evening they will be out. To make it more challenging play that any asphalt after the T boxes is water makes hole 14 a lot more challenging if you decide to go for it.

Ditto some of the other reviews. I live about a mile from this park and there are a lot of people using the park for other sports. It's difficult to play a few of the holes when soccer and baseball games are going on. 7:45 or later in the spring to fall months is going to be the best on weekdays. As a local, I haven't yet figured out when/if its busy on Saturday. Overall, I like this course.

The biggest knocks for this course would be the pedestrian traffic and that's it's on the easier end of the spectrum due to the holes being short. However, I went and did a round around 7:45 PM when t ... show more ›

The biggest knocks for this course would be the pedestrian traffic and that's it's on the easier end of the spectrum due to the holes being short. However, I went and did a round around 7:45 PM when the sporting events were clearing out and the pedestrian traffic was minimal. The course layout is well done. It uses the hills and trees quite well.

One of the things I really like about it relative to a few of the other local courses is that the terrain is pristine. It is a well kept park. The grass is lush and isn't patchy. The trees are well groomed. I thought the baskets were well placed and the course is mapped out pretty well.

All in all, you just have to plan to be there when there's less going on in the park. Other than that, it's a fun, fairly easy course in a really nice park.

The biggest disadvantage of this course is its location. When I first heard they were putting a course in Mills Park I was a bit baffled... it seems like courses are normally built in areas that are ... show more ›

The biggest disadvantage of this course is its location. When I first heard they were putting a course in Mills Park I was a bit baffled... it seems like courses are normally built in areas that are otherwise devoid of pedestrian traffic. I'd absolutely avoid playing here whenever other sports are being played on the fields (generally all afternoon every day except Sunday).

Other than that, this is a surprisingly fun course to play! The layout uses existing obstacles quite well (trees, fences, hill berms, etc.) There are a few holes (like #6) where you're likely to land a disc on the other side of a fence. Also, many holes on the back 9 are parallel and quite close to each other so unless you're confident in your aim you might end up waiting for groups in front of you to finish several holes before you proceed. There are no super long shots but they're certainly long enough for most players to really let the disc fly. I think they're mostly between 200-250 feet. Most of the course is well shaded thanks to the excellent layout. There are plenty of restrooms and drinking fountains around the course.

Great to have another course around here, but this one is very easy. Most of the holes are really short, but it's a great way to practice your short game. That said, it can be suuuuuper busy with kids ... show more ›

Great to have another course around here, but this one is very easy. Most of the holes are really short, but it's a great way to practice your short game. That said, it can be suuuuuper busy with kids running around the baskets. A couple holes put houses or fences in danger of getting hit (I've seen someone bounce a disc off of someone's shed already), so I'm not sure the neighbors won't start complaining about this.
