I have mixed feelings about this course. The holes that are in the open areas of the park are well maintained due to the park workers cutting the grass. But the rest of the disc golf course is absolutely neglected. I really liked the forested holes. They are tight and technical where shaping your shots is a must. I didn't understand why hole 9th's tee wasn't at the top of the hill. I went up and threw from the top. What a breath taking view and throw it was. Please put your blue stick by the small tree and cement block and make a spectacular par 4. A signature hole by far. The last three holes are diabolical. Unfortunately, I had to play in a stiff wind. Also, If you're playing this course for the first time, you must download the map or it's impossible to navigate. And what's with the walk from 2nd basket to the third tee. Really, You just played up the huge hill on hole one, then to get rewarded by throwing back down the hill on hole 2. But then torture us and force us to climb back up all the way to the white tee of 2 to get to 3. Absolutely ridiculous. This park has really beautiful landscape and in my opinion could use a redesign by a professional. This could be a spectacular venue for a championship tournament.

Will be an a+ once it's fully finished! Has great variety. You get uphill, downhill, open shots, wooded shots, shots out of woods, shots into the woods, and shots over the pond. They are finalizing tee and pin positions to get the best flow to the course. They are also fund raising to add permanent pads. Once it all comes together this will one of the most premier courses in the area.
