Butterworth Park

This is a perfect example of what happens when a course is forced into a park where disc golf does not belong. The holes are odd and often weaving thru a playground. Tees are sometimes missing and on about a third of the holes the next tee is nearly impossible to find due to the flow of the course being awkward and poorly arranged.

This is a perfect example of what happens when a course is forced into a park where disc golf does not belong. The holes are odd and often weaving thru a playground. Tees are sometimes missing and on about a third of the holes the next tee is nearly impossible to find due to the flow of the course being awkward and poorly arranged. The problem is that the city of East Moline doesn't own a large park so mustering up this 9 hole course where a disc golf course doesn't belongwas their token effort to keep up with the Jones' (namely the other Quad Cities who all have wonderful parks). The degree of difficulty here is also high so it isn't at all good for families who might benefit from grabbing a quick 9 holes without driving too far. Last thing worth mentioning is that the path on hole #3 is more narrow than it appears and is laden with poison ivy on both sides.
