This course may not be the most challenging, and I can accept that the tee pads aren't amazing, but this is a demonstration on how municipalities can create short but well-organized courses for the public. The course is friendly for beginners, but can give the intermediate crowd a run for its money, too (or give a veteran a place to warm up.)

Pros: Course is wide open! Great for beginners{ No chance of losing a disc.(Unless your stoned, drunk or forgetful.) If you are all 3 plan on losing multiple discs. You could easily let your family play onn the playground. While you played 9 holes in a half an hour. Great place to try out the flight of new discs.

The tee pads are well marked and the flow of the course is good

Its nine holes are all possible birdies, no bomber holes over 400 feet, with generally clear lines and only few guardian trees.

Readily played with a single mid or a putter. Super windy day, avoid at all costs.

Cons: The pros are also the cons. It would be wise to look elsewhere for technical challenges or serious range. I think that the tees are slightly too close to one another and it is more possible for errant throws to get in range of other players than it should be for a beginner's course.

Other Thoughts: If DGS had a "course intent" breakout, where you could specify the type of course and rate it accordingly, this would be a 3.5-4 beginner's course. The only failing in this course as this type is the closeness of the pads.

If you're looking for your next technical challenge, this probably isn't the course for you. If you're looking for a quiet 9 on the way home for work to get a half mile walk, this is a good stop if you are looking to bag a quick course like I did!
