The designer of this park had to be drunk when they built it. The first two holes run right next to two of the busiest streets in Vermillion. I'm not talking about if you have a bad release or the wind catches it, you're going into the street, I mean if you're a righty you'll probably land in the street. Oh and if you're a lefty, guess what in order to go around the trees literally in front of the tee box, you're also going into the street.
It only gets worse from there. For example, on the third hole you can't even see the basket from the tee box. Why mainly because you have to go through, more over, an amphitheater and over a 10 foot brick wall. Holes 4, 5, 6 and 10 all intersect with each other. So not only do you have to figure out which basket you're going for, you'll probably have to wait to tee off or even finish your hole. Oh crap I forgot to mention the basketball courts 10 feet behind the baskets of hole 5 and 6 nor the playground, usually full of children, smack bad in the middle of hole 8. Also there's a pathway running through the entire course, that is used frequently.

The only redeeming factor is hole 8, though really short is a fun hole, partially because it's the only one that doesn't put nonplayers at risk or you at risk for losing your disc.

For a course in a town where literally half the population is college students, that is a block away from campus, and across the street from several frat houses, this course is trash.
