UW Parkside Disc Golf Course

"I’ve never seen a course designed by a suicidal nihilist before. Don’t bother looking for your disc longer than a few minutes, it’s not coming back."

"Played here for the first time. Will be the last also. Starts out decent with narrow fairways and somewhat clear marked holes for the first 6 or 7 holes. After that you’ll be losing your way since the signs are missing from the poles. Knew there was more than just nine holes but after ten we were totally lost . No map or signs pointing to the next hole. Lost a disc in the vast areas of brush and trees. Not maintained at all. Waste of time here."

"Not worth your time. Mostly you'll lose a disc or 2 and be disappointed. Over grown with mowed fairways."

"Disc golf review. This used to be one of my favorite courses and I’d try to get here 2-3 times a year but in the last two years, this course has lost my interest. Maybe it is due to the fact there are nicer newer courses and my expectations have gotten higher. This course just seems neglected and now that two holes appear to be closed till further notice because of construction, it’s not worth the special effort to go here anymore. The signs are old and not in the best of shape. The pads are concrete with the exception of the elevated wooden deck pro tee pad of Hole 5. There is no map so first time users may struggle to navigate this course. I recall the struggle my first time playing this course. There is also the most awkward placed hidden hole which, should you find at the wrong time, could screw up where to go next for first time players. The first few holes are in open fields with thick growth outlining the fairways. The following holes are through the woods with some blind corner throws and narrow fairways lined by thick brush. Once you get across the street to hole 12, for holes 13-16, you throw through the woods but it is fairly clear of low thick brush. From there you finish along the building where you have to make a long hike back to your car now that holes 17 and 18 no longer exist to take you back. There are some pro pads but not all are concrete. There are some holes with multiple pin placements, possibly to make up for the missing 17 and 18 holes. I like the technical aspect of this course and the fact there aren’t many grip it and rip it holes unless you want to run the risk of losing a disc. Overall, I still have hope for this course. It just needs a little TLC and two more holes. I won’t be making any special trips to play here but I won’t pass up the opportunity to play if I am in the area"
