Some tweaks to the layout that could prevent a lot of back tracking. Awesome park and the holes presented were fun.

Could be really nice but the layout needs help. Signage could be better, getting to a few holes, 10 & 13 and adventure. 18 basket is very far from parking lot.

If you’re ever in the area, you’ve gotta give this course a try! This is definitely one of my favorite park style courses!

I was excited to try this course because the photos made it look great, but it ended up being pretty confusing and poorly laid out. When I arrived, I parked near hole 16 and decided to start on 17. The walk from 16’s basket to 17’s tee was already long, and after finishing 17 and 18, I realized 18 ended way out in a field — nowhere near where you start. I had to walk a long way just to get back near hole 1, which felt like a design miss since most courses loop back to the start. The front nine has a few nice holes, but navigation is rough. There are multiple long walks between holes (like from 6 to 7), and several fairways cross pedestrian paths. Hole 6 even has a blind shot over multiple walkways to a hidden basket. After hole 10, you walk down a hill and back up a hill and out of the woods, which made it confusing to figure out where to go next to reach hole 11. Hole 12 was one of the most frustrating: a par 4 with multiple mandos, a light pole, and a tree right in the middle of the fairway, making it feel almost impossible to play cleanly. Holes 14 and 15 were short, tight, wooded holes, and 16 finished long and narrow. Overall, the park itself is nice, and a few holes are fun, but the layout, navigation, and safety issues (crossing sidewalks and pedestrian trails) really take away from the experience. It feels more random than well-planned.

Nice course. Don't know if it's quite a 4 star but better than 3 1/2. Biggest problem is many holes go over/ along walking path and there were a lot of walkers out even at 7:30am on a Sunday. Quite a few short holes but a couple par 4's too. Open park style course except a few in the woods. Very scorable but are some holes that can get you in trouble. Worth a look if in the area!

Great intermediate ability course that is well designed and maintained. Not every course should be a Pro ability course. This is one of the better community courses Ive played. Its exactly what it should be. Wish it was closer to me.

Very slow flow of play. After the first few holes, you have to walk a quarter mile to get to each following tee

Course was great. I'm from Chicagoland. This place was a breath of fresh air after the Kiwanis park I went too. That place was not the best. This Dibbol course was recomended by 2 locals there. Couple little minor things that irritated me. I think walking from hole to hole got a little wonky. Crossing over a few fairways to get to holes. Tees were not the greatest. The 2 holes in the forest need alot of TLC. Last 2 holes are way away from parking. Other than that, the shot shaping and design were great.

Course is a bit wet today, but really enjoyed it! Front nine is pretty short but loved the 9th hole drive over the pond - great risk/reward hole. Two holes in the woods were short but challenging.

First few holes are interesting. The rest is boring. Great tee pads and upkeep but layout is terrible. Very long walks from green to tee.

Great well maintained park course the signage was spot on and clear to understand it’s a little rough for carts in the woods but not too rough Diboll did disc golfers a solid

I could see where the course would be hard to play during heavy usage by other park users. The first five holes or so, our relatively short hyper it gets a little longer from there, but not much shot variety overall. I played two rounds because I really wanted to like this course. The course itself was in great shape. However, the cons are the excessive walks between holes, mainly 6 to 7, 7 to 8, 9 to 10, 10 to 11, 16 to 17, and 18 back to whole one. I also found there was an excessive use of Mando on hole 7, 12 and 13. how’s a course designer I feel like if you have to use Amando you haven’t done your job.

Loved the course. Very clean and well maintained. Great little gem in an area with few courses. A few more guiding signs to next baskets that are not intuitive, would be good. Wonderful course but would be a challenge without Udisc. Koodos to whoever built it and keeps it up. I will play it every time I pass through and will be sure to spend some money in town to show my appreciation. :o)

Beautiful course on park land

One of my favorite courses. If you can throw 300 feet, you can pretty much birdie any hole. Short walks to the next tee, except from 9 to 10, so you can get a quick round in. Somebody wrote a bad review, he must have a grudge with someone here?

Couple hole signs broken, uDisc map works fine. Good shot variety, not a lot of elevation change. Overall, great use of the space, quiet park, worth coming to

Course under construction but is getting better and better! Tee pads are almost complete, signs were installed but most have already been broken off. Course is fair with mix of long and short holes, technical lines and wide opens. Bathrooms by holes 7 and 17

Great new course that is still under construction! Great mix of technically wooded and open park style holes.
