This is the literal worst course I’ve ever thrown. Blind shots with people walking in the path, no teepads or signs, if you throw from where UDisc says the teepad is located it either isn’t correct or this is designed by the dumbest person in history. I’m not throwing over water with a row of trees in 20ft in front of me w/no gap. There are leaning baskets, and the baskets they do have are very old Discatchers that have just one row of chains on the outside. They are worse than Mach 3’s. Do not come to this course. Whoever the course designer is please reach out to anybody else who has ever played Disc Golf to have them fix this. The only saving grace if there is one, would be that it is a gorgeous park or area to throw in with a little pond and island and bridges. So the right designer could make this pretty cool. You just have to completely start over.

Hole 1 goes along the walking path but at least is at a basically straight line from the signage. Holes 2-4 are unnavigable without udisc, have water risk throughout, strange routing, and cross through the path roundabout area, which even at sunset had significant pedestrian/bike activity. Holes 5-9 are in the cross country skiing area, which is better, though still not ideal. But these Holes are at least reliably playable.
