Austintown Twp. Park

The course is located in a very nice park thats well kept and clean. There are signs everywhere leading from hole 1 all the way through. Each tee is well marked and each basket has a bright easy to see number on it. The design isn't bad. Besides a few longer holes all are fairly easy and should be an ace run or birdie for anyone that's played a while. I'm not sure where the baskets are from. I've never seen ones like it. They aren't the best at catching discs. I found that most low putts stay bu ...

They aren't the best at catching discs. I found that most low putts stay but any putt coming in halfway up or higher is a crap shoot. You also have to keep an eye out for the many people that walk up and down the fairways. There isn't any blind shots but they come walking around corners pretty fast.

I grew up in Boardman, and in the 20+ years I lived there, there was never a course anywhere near home. Now there are two within 15 minutes! This is a wide open course, so it's pretty easy to find your way around. They did a nice job of making the baskets highly visible too. No tee pads (yet?), and it had rained pretty heavily the day before I played, so it was a little mushy. My biggest gripe was the baskets. Not sure which brand they are, but they're garbage.

This is a wide open course, so it's pretty easy to find your way around. They did a nice job of making the baskets highly visible too. No tee pads (yet?), and it had rained pretty heavily the day before I played, so it was a little mushy.
My biggest gripe was the baskets. Not sure which brand they are, but they're garbage. Only one "level" of chains, and they don't catch well. But even worse is the fact that the baskets have gaps large enough for a disc to fall though. Had a number of putts go through the chains, and one fell through the bottom of the basket. It's like whoever designed the baskets has never actually played disc golf.
Anyway, it's a decent course and I'm happy to see more options in the Youngstown area. I'll probably revisit when I'm back in Ohio again.
