Course: Scera Park in Orem, Utah

Perspective: Intermediate level, Master’s 60+ player with low to intermediate arm strength.

Course Details/Info:
• 9-hole course plays around the periphery of Scera Park.
• Park is behind the pools (rather than reported “ponds”) you see from the road.
• Organized in a somewhat clockwise fashion.
• Most holes 230-270’ with one 336’ (#6).

Challenges/Pros:
• Very large mature trees with some low hanging branches increase difficulty on some holes.
• Nice mixture of tunnel shots but also some longer wide open drives.
• Good cement pads but signage is weak. However, locals are friendly and helpful.
• Pedestrian walkways affect some fairways so take care.

Opportunities for Improvement:
• Scoring as primarily marked is more appropriate for youth.
• Signage should be improved.
• Add a good course map at the outset.
• One basket is tilted.

Summary of Rating/Play:
• Recommend playing all as Par 3’s rather than as marked with the possible exception of #6 which is longer plus the pin is parked under low-branched trees.
• Most appropriate for beginning to intermediate adults particularly if want to work on controlled drives, approach shots, and putting
• Also good for Masters 50-60+ and for youth if they know some basics. Might be pretty frustrating for complete newbies with the tree cover.
• In general, I would rate this as a "B" course for the above groups but big bombers would probably prefer other courses.

Definitely a beginner course. Realistically all the holes should be par 3 at most, but it's great for getting new people into the game and for practicing your short game (And the baskets are new and great quality). My only complaint is how busy the park gets. Most people could care less about a disc golf round going on and look at you like your crazy when you ask them to watch out.
