I had some time to pass while in the greater Boston area and tried out the closest course to me, Simonds Park. It is great that it exists for locals to try disc golf and have a place to play. The course itself has fallen into considerable disrepair. Cinder tee boxes are now more of a hazard than a launch pad. The signage is either missing, broken, or marked up. Only one pin position (Red, I think) still exists. I only had about 40 minutes before dark but was able to play all 9 holes. I still had a good time playing.

My new home course! It's nothing special but it works for a quick practice round after work. Two open holes to start then 7 through the woods. Only few holes over 300ft. Usually don't mind natural tees, but these are pretty beat up and several are set on an incline which makes them worse. I guess beggers can't be choosers in this area, and overall the course certainly good enough to have fun on.

i played it 4x through yesterday. it is a fun course, and good for the area. once more courses go in within an hour of boston, it will hold its own as a fun local 9.. the variety from some of the alt tees is a big difference and there are a LOT of trees. i found it to be challenging enough for what it is. i didnt get any aces and the birdies felt authentic on some of the longer holes. if only the tees were flat.

I think people don't give fun little courses like this enough credit!

Great place to take a beginner. Easy 9 holes, decent challenges, none of the big problems a little course can have (like risk of winding up in the road). It's a fairly balanced and fun course that I enjoyed for sure.

This could be a great solid B+ short course with just a little bit of work. A little volunteer party with some wood and concrete for excellent pads, some signs for directions to the next T's... signs with numbers on the T's... all stuff work parties could knock out no problem. If there were some group for Boston organizing this, I'd be game!

A decent course for beginners because the holes are fairly short so if you are a more experienced player it probably isn't worth more then a 20 minute drive to play there. The start of the course is h ... show more ›

A decent course for beginners because the holes are fairly short so if you are a more experienced player it probably isn't worth more then a 20 minute drive to play there. The start of the course is hard to find if you're playing for the first time but after you get through hole 2 its relatively easy to follow. Their site also has a satellite shot of the course with the holes which is very helpful. Best part about it is that it's free to play and park. And every time I've been there (mostly after 5pm) there's been at most one other group playing. I use it as a way to get in a quick round after work.

At first I found this course very discouraging.

Traffic closely circles the course, and is pretty noisy.
Also I literally walked around the property twice looking for the first hole.

After that, I settled in nicely and enjoyed the course.

Starts off two open field holes, and then the rest are heavily wooded.
They do a nice job of making sure not every hole is the same.
Also the grounds are well kept and clean.

The holes are a bit jumbled together and difficult to navigate.
However there are well made signs to indicate tees and pins.

Considering the location, its an easy 'C'.
Not much else in the area for disc golf, unless you feel like driving for a good while.

Plus, its free!

Side Note- Place is tough to find as it has no real address. Its where Bedford and Cambridge St. intersect.

Does a nice job with the land there was to work with. Love the extra tee's and use of the space outside the woods. Wouldnt hurt to move some of the pin placements. think the place as a whole has room ... show more ›

Does a nice job with the land there was to work with. Love the extra tee's and use of the space outside the woods. Wouldnt hurt to move some of the pin placements. think the place as a whole has room to grow. The course has made major strides each year and is only getting better. I give it a C+ in the winter but by mid spring it will be a B-
