Von Baer Park

This will always be my "home course" since it is where I started playing disc golf. It is very challenging. There are not a lot of long distances, but a lot of finesse is needed to get around the many obstacles, even on short throws. There are many trees and hills, plus a steep hill that my son and I always call "the cliff" (holes 8 and 9). Many times we've muttered, "oops, I threw it off the cliff." We've lost several discs, and found several others, making each trip even more of an advent ...

We've lost several discs, and found several others, making each trip even more of an adventure. I got my first ace here on 2B. Permanent tee pads are not installed yet, so you have a short, dirt runway, but that's fine with me since I rarely run-up on my drives anyway. After playing this course many times, I played a couple other groomed park courses and felt they were extremely easy because I could see every hole from the tees, where Blind Gully rarely gives you a glimpse of the target from the tee. I refuse rate this course low because of the lack of grooming-- that will come with time. I'll rate it high because of the fun I have playing there. I'm yet to par the course, but it will come with time. I can't say that about another nearby course where I threw par the first time through and had little desire to go back.

Not as bad as I thought to play however hiking up massive slopes and crossing fallen logs to continue past hole six kinda sucks. Overall the coarse is pretty rugged a lot of trees a river huge gully but still fun. Hole eight is very aceable for a beginner as well as four. Hole six has a high potential for losing discs in the river the trees or the dead wood all around. Hole seven is hard cause a pad is throwing up a very steep mountain side and b pad is a hike to the top of the slope. When throw ...

Not as bad as I thought to play however hiking up massive slopes and crossing fallen logs to continue past hole six kinda sucks. Overall the coarse is pretty rugged a lot of trees a river huge gully but still fun. Hole eight is very aceable for a beginner as well as four. Hole six has a high potential for losing discs in the river the trees or the dead wood all around. Hole seven is hard cause a pad is throwing up a very steep mountain side and b pad is a hike to the top of the slope. When throwing from b pad a bad throw could leave you way back down the slope. Hole nine effen sucks your throwing across a Freaken huge drop and if not throwen right you'll be sliding down down down hill to get your disc. Hole five is the best hole flat pretty straight drive unless you throw side ARM then its kinda difficult cause of the tree line on the left side.
