Root River Parkway

Excellent local course! A few wooded holes, a few holes open holes with heavy woods on one side and road on the other, a few short holes, a few long holes, one or two really long holes, a few holes with mature trees and minimal vegetation, some of these force tight lines and some allow some flexibility. aka an excellent well rounded course. This course is extremely new, so a few of the holes have to be beaten into shape and you could loose a disc. The tees are either dirt or secure rubber pads, ...

Excellent local course! A few wooded holes, a few holes open holes with heavy woods on one side and road on the other, a few short holes, a few long holes, one or two really long holes, a few holes with mature trees and minimal vegetation, some of these force tight lines and some allow some flexibility. aka an excellent well rounded course. This course is extremely new, so a few of the holes have to be beaten into shape and you could loose a disc. The tees are either dirt or secure rubber pads, and I believe concrete pads are in the works within a year or so. The signs are just handwritten distances with the alternate pin distances, but I bet those are in the works as well. I went with some friends who have been there a few times already, so we knew where to go; but if I was by myself I would have gotten very confused. The course plays through a fairly busy parkway/park with lots of runners and bikers (never really in the way). You cross different holes between holes about 4 times. In summary, very well rounded course that is currently lacking a few amenities, but in due time may be taking Dretzka's or Brown Deer's reign of best course in the area.

It's a good course and we were overdue for a new one it's getting busy out there also one more thing[DO NOT THROW FROM THE ROAD GET BACK ON THE GRASS WHERE YOUR DISC WENT OUT OF BOUNDS

I can see the courses potential and I'm excited to see it evolve over the next couple of years. We played on Sunday and there was a good crowd out tossing discs around. As long as people pick up their trash, I can see the city keeping this one going. We hauled out a bunch of bottles that were found laying on the course. As far as the way it plays, it's very right-hand friendly, due to the fact that it runs along the road. The first few holes are short and currently pretty wet, but they p ...

As far as the way it plays, it's very right-hand friendly, due to the fact that it runs along the road. The first few holes are short and currently pretty wet, but they play nicely. We'll be back to play this one, for sure, and once the permanent pads are in it will be a lot nicer for players.
