Great little beginner course. 9 holes that aren't much longer than 200 ft with tee pads and amenities. There are few good beginner courses for kids that I think it's important to put this up there. Also a playground and pool in park, so you can use that if kids get tired of disc golfing (or one wants to play and the other wants another activity).

This is a perfect beginner course. This is why the rating is soo high. Anytime you can have a course in an area that helps promote the sport to beginners is an A+ in my book. I even won a couple of the Jr tournaments here making it an even better course in my book. Seriously the shots would be considered too simple for advanced players, but ideal for the beginner in mind. The only drawback for me is I do not live closer.

This is an A+ course to teach new players & for kids to develop their game. It teaches accuracy & has shots for both left & right handed players, and forehand/backhand as well. It's a lot of fun to play here no matter who you are, use it as a warm up before you visit Roscoe & Masi if you are traveling to play Medina. 8D I think Sockibomb still holds the course record at -9 lol

As a newer player I will rate this one an A for a variety of reasons. It's a great beginner's course and a great place to work on specific shots. I'll credit this course to allowing me to become a much better player. The tees were natural but all have been upgraded to brick (with length) which is a great touch. Good variety of holes to learn hyzers, annies, tunnels, upshots. A very large play area is on the course so the little ones have a place to go. I really think the only downside is that the course can get wet in spots after a rain. Never seems to be too busy so practice is quite easy to do.

This is a great place for beginners to learn the sport, or for a more skilled player to hone their upshot and putting skills. The course is well designed and makes good use out of the small space that it's in. It is easy to navigate, and the use of pavers for tee pads and to mark footage to the pins looks nice. I think more city parks should put small courses in like this one. It would help the sport grow as well as attract new visitors to the parks!

great beginner course with a good mix of open and technical holes...a great course for the noobs or the kiddies...and if they get bored, there is a great playground that can keep them occupied while you throw some more. the only drawback is the inevitable overthrow...very short holes here. but that just means more ace runs and a good course to practice driving with the midrange and putters. a great course to play before or after roscoe, as it is only about 10 minutes away.

I rate this course 3.5 out of 5 stars. Pros - Please keep in mind that this park is labeled as a beginner’s course and I have rated this course as such. Having said that, this is a PERFECT ... show more ›

I rate this course 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Pros
- Please keep in mind that this park is labeled as a beginner’s course and I have rated this course as such. Having said that, this is a PERFECT beginner’s course! It’s mainly flat with shorter holes so the little tykes you bring wont get exhausted. There’s no real blind shots and lots of ace opportunity. This course alone will be responsible for adding more new players to disc golf than another other course in Ohio. The reason is LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. This park is very popular with parents that have little kids and they are constantly looking at the baskets and players trying to figure out what this disc golf thing is. Little kids ask their parents, parents talk to us, it’s a great chain reaction that will pull in a lot of interest to the sport in Medina. I’ve had so many people of all ages ask me about the sport and have stopped what they were doing to watch me throw. I will always try to keep a few spare discs to give to any kid that seems really interested.
- Great amenities. Pavilions, tables, pool, bathrooms, HUGE grade A play area for the kids and a dog park.
- Plenty of parking
- Signs marking the disc golf course
- Billboard with an accurate map
- Some signs to next tee
- Nice flow. A small walk to hole #1 from the parking area but hole #18 ends at the parking lot.
- Fantastic use of the available land
- Nice mix of shots and optional paths to take
- Baskets are labeled
- Trashcans are available and the park is very clean. Great upkeep!
- No vandalism

Cons
- Old baskets
- Natural tees could use some mulching during the very muddy spring time. The course doesn’t drain well during that time at all.
- Course plays close to the kids play area and picnic area
- Expect this park to be very busy in the summer and having to pause play so that you can allow people to pass by. The areas of note are the entrance to the park (hole #9) and the sidewalk going out the back of the park cuts across most of the back 7.

Other Thoughts
- The first 7 holes are behind the pool and kids play area. Holes 8 & 9 are in the front by the dog park.
- Great course to hit before or after a round at Roscoe which is a destination course for all players
- The most challenging hole for me is hole #3. I am in a constant state of confusion about whether to anhyzer a beat disc, throw a low and straight disc or hyzer an overstable disc.
- My favorite hole is hole #7. I love doing a silly trick shot here and throw a line drive at the ground about 80’ away and have the disc skip immediately left right at the basket. Just a fun shot to make and nail metal with.
- This is not a destination course for the average player. This IS a destination course if you want to bring the little tykes out for great family outing.
- Huge thanks to all those that have put this course together! I love bringing the family to this park and it’s great to have a course here now.
