What’s up with Riverside? Is it still in the worlds layout? It’s getting really really low reviews on udisc lately because people are having trouble finding their way. It’s a shame!

RCO 2020 is the more accurate layout. The bad reviews come from a few different things. First, lack of quality pads, which is not anyone but the city’s choice from my understanding. Second would be the pure distance of the course, one of the longest courses in the area. Third would be the 10-1 ... more

No T signs will do that. They refuse to put concrete tees in no benches no directional signs no nothing. It’s a phenomenal course and would be really fantastic if they treated it as such.

I was at Riverside for the first time in many years I like the course but the lay out from old tees to new tees was confusing for me we had to look for tees and tee pads please let me know where to tee off from like hole 5 , 14,15,16 ,17 and 18

Threw my white ROC circa early 2000s into the lake just off of hole number 10 on Weds Aug 14th. Reward if found.

Kinda messed up this past weekend... I threw a blue and white Axiom envy long past hole one’s basket. I also threw a hot pink deflector (skullboy stamp) too long/straight on hole 12. I will reward for the safe return of either disc.

Lost a Yellow Star Valkyrie on 13 in the water to the left. Past the cut down tree. Disc is stamped with my info.

Will Riverside Park ever be updated with tee pads and signs?

Nick Bosovich   March 31, 2018 at 12:53am

Nope...

Niel Stoppa II   March 31, 2018 at 11:14am

That will depend on the neighborhood association who complained to the city just as pre-worlds work was being done to install the new layout. We are hoping that this year we can get the city to reverse their decision on this matter and let the final steps of the installation be completed. Im sure if ... more

Its the closest course to my house besides Johnson, and it could be an amazing course for how close it is.

peter kunoff    February 22, 2018 at 1:07am

Is this course we'll marked, intuitive to walk for a newcomer? Map available?

Probably should steer clear of Riverside Park this time of year. Lots of other great courses within minutes of that one also.

Niel Stoppa II   February 22, 2018 at 2:41pm

Try Garfield, or Brewer, or Jaycee in Kentwood. The new Johnson Park is awesome also

Rick "Rightfield" Mol   February 22, 2018 at 2:53pm

The new layout is not well marked. The rubber pads are gone and the flags are no longer there either. This course is not beat in enough to direct you to each hole either. Don't let that stop you though because the layout is a riot!

Niel Stoppa II    January 9, 2018 at 4:58pm

Just want to let my fellow disc chuckers know that this coming saturday, Jan.13th is the GRDOD lce Bowl Tournament. This means Jaycee Park will be closed for casual play from daylight till at least 4 pm. Please share this information and tell everyone you talk to that might be planning on going there about the tournament.

GR discers, where’s the best place to buy discs around town?

Completely torn apart ???? Are they doing major construction on the park ???

Jacob Spencer   December 2, 2017 at 12:49am

that was my exact reaction^^

Jacob Spencer   December 16, 2017 at 12:31pm

I went and played it this week and nothing was wrong, maybe it was confusing since the new layout is different/longer?

Ryan Koster    October 21, 2017 at 4:05pm

Lost my pfn highlighter yellow 12 time Valkyrie just off the shore of hole 11....Also a tye dye Pro Beast on the tail end of the course.

Just want to let my fellow disc chuckers know that tomorrow is the GRDOD league party. This means Brewer Park has been reserved by the club and will be closed for casual play from daylight till at least 3pm. Please share this information and tell everyone you talk to that might be planning on going out there about the party. Signs will be posted in the entrance road and such but this really helps a lot too.

What's the word on the pads? I have heard a couple reasons why they were removed but would like to know really why? I thought the layout was for sure staying the same?

Nick Bosovich   September 11, 2017 at 7:12pm

So did they remove the pads then? Are the baskets still in the new positions?

Jacob Spencer   September 11, 2017 at 10:41pm

baskets are all in the championship worlds layout still but the rubber temp pads are all removed now.

Niel Stoppa II   September 12, 2017 at 3:04pm

The pads were on loan to us for the tournament, they have been returned and as of right now the current layout will stay the same.

Jacob Spencer    September 3, 2017 at 2:44pm

Put one in the water on hole 11. One of my favorite ballistas. Really want it back, I walked around two separate days for a couple hours in the water and couldn't find it. Trades of found

BEES ON HOLE 8!! I threw a disc too far on hole 8 into the woods, and was stung by a bunch of bees. A kind fellow disc golfer retrieved by bag, but I had to forfeit a yellow lucid felon since it was right next to a nest apparently. Has a custom "crowning the king" stamp on it as well as my name and number. Would love to have it back

I heard this course will be reverted back to the old layout following the tournament. Can anyone verify this?

It's staying in I'm pretty sure

Mike Durco   August 30, 2017 at 9:41pm

It's not going back to the old layout. Idk where that rumor started but it's 100% false. There are a few homeowners south of Guild that aren't happy about the holes south of Guild. But, the course isn't going back to the old layout.

Brad Mol   August 31, 2017 at 2:04pm

Thanks MIke! That is fantastic news.

Niel Stoppa II    August 11, 2017 at 3:47am

The tournament committee would like to ask all players planning on practicing at BlueGill DGC to bring only one other person with them when going to the course. Only registered Masters Worlds tournament players are allowed to practice. Please respect the rules at our private courses. All persons entering will be checked in and verified.

Anyone know when the course will be complete with the tee pads, signs, etc?

Jacob Spencer    August 1, 2017 at 9:38pm

New layout rocks, love the length. Makes it another challenging course in the area, one where you can actually throw some long shots. Great job guys.
