If you’re not a local this might be a fun course, but as of today this thing gets way overused by yahoos with no etiquette. It’s mostly crowded, no driver necessary. Not a place to hone your technique. Also this course might eat a disc or two, but the city has improved that somewhat with some netting in the front. I’ve found three discs here! If it was empty and the holes were longer it would be better.
You’ve been warned.

This course is simple and short. As a beginner player, the holes were good difficulty, challenging me to get par, but I could see how advanced players could find this course too short. That being said, for the 90 minutes I was at the park on a Saturday, there was a nearly non-stop flow of players through the course. This place is popular. Several of the tees had a slight backup, and the tons of non-players walking on the paths adjacent to the holes slowed things down a bit more. A few non-players mistakenly meandered through hole 7 while I was playing causing additional delays as I patiently waited for them to clear the area. If I lived close, I could see how this could be a good place to practice skills, but this isn't a destination course. The holes only slightly include variety in play, by tucking a basket to one side or another. Hole 7 is novel, and was enjoyable enough to be worth playing again. There was very little terrain variation.

Nice small course. All holes are ~200 ft, and pretty straight line. I went on a sunday around 10:30 and there were only a few people playing, so I didn't feel rushed. Wish the course was a little ... show more ›

Nice small course. All holes are ~200 ft, and pretty straight line. I went on a sunday around 10:30 and there were only a few people playing, so I didn't feel rushed. Wish the course was a little more complicated, but it was nice if you're just trying to get a quick game in.Friend and I finished in ~30 minutes.

This is a fun little 9. Perfect for short game practice. And learning how to not put all your power into drives. I mostly used a midrange the whole round except putting. The tees are a little short however the holes are short as well so you don't need to run up on a throw. No way to lose a disc here.

Muddy 9 months out of the year. Also, the newest layout kinda sucks. I get it. Hillsboro Park and Rec. have to cover their backsides when it comes to Ped. traffic, but the old layout was much better. Also hole 8 has been out of commission for too long... common guys. Good course for beginner/intermediates to practice on, but not a lot of substance to it for more experienced DG's.

A decent little 9 hole course. Enough variation in holes to keep it interesting, but still a short, quick course. Minuses are a smallish parking lot and it can be very busy at times. If you're in t ... show more ›

A decent little 9 hole course. Enough variation in holes to keep it interesting, but still a short, quick course. Minuses are a smallish parking lot and it can be very busy at times. If you're in the area check it out, and if you live or work nearby it's a great place to go throw when you have the time.

This isn't a bad park over all to be honest. Nice enough layout but a LOT of traffic! Can take a LONG time to even get 9 holes in. And not a lot of the players know the etiquette to let smaller groups pass them, sometimes doesn't help as the "Bases are loaded" with groups lol... But very convenient location.

Nice park. Pretty clean, with some interesting holes. Most of the holes are fairly short, not too many obstructions but not completely boring either. Only 9 holes so it could be a little bigger. It's never very crowded, but for real there are cops hiding around bushes and behind fences and stuff. Drink beers at your own risk here.

Altogether, this park is worth checking out.

Orchard Park is great for what it is - A good little 9 hole course. Good pitch and putt practice for experienced players and a bit of a challenge for begining to intermediate players. Great place to take families and players who are new to the sport. Mostly open, well groomed, and great flow. Good signage and cement tees on each hole.

The course gets a little crowded on nice days during peak times. A few holes are fairly close to each other, so keep your head up at all times and don't forget to yell "fore" on errant shots.

There is a great weekly doubles tournament that runs on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer (April - August) that is open to all.

Great park for a quick 9 holes. super clean plus its only 5 minutes away from my house..gets a little wet though when it rains, but they did just put bark chips down..They put a drainage system in this summer so it doesnt hold all the water it did before.watch out for the man though there park ninjas hiding around every corner.
