Barber Park

All in all, Elliot did a good job laying out a nice, fairly long, pro level, mostly open course. As other reviewers mention, it does have design flaws, flying over the amphitheatre audience area on 1 and 4 and through a couple of picnic spots on 4. And the walk between 8 & 9 might be the worst, most dangerous design flaw I've ever encountered. Tee pads, especially dual tee pads would be a tremendous addition, since, by and large, it is laid out as a pro/advanced level course. There are pitifully poor plans for non-golf additions to the park, which are poorly planned in accordance to dumb mass Dummycrap flood plane rules and regs. That, along with the upcoming construction of a new YMCA with soccer pitches will relegate most, if not all of the disc golf course to the stench filled swampland next to Buffalo Creek, Greensboro's septic tank. From what I've been told and shown on maps, there's not going to be enough available land for a course, unless it's turned into a Beth Schmidt style Tiki course, or players are wearing water proof, high top shoes or boots.

Con: Not much of a challenge. If you can throw it reasonably long and straight you'll be fine. The lack of pads is a real negative- it was not addressed during construction and I was told by a park employee they were not forth-coming. No signs, layout can be confusing, but there is a map/scorecard at the first tee. Still, you'd be happier playing with someone who knows the course. Only one basket placement per hole.

Pro: Good for beginners. Rarely crowded- which allows for plenty of practice shots. If you're into high-speed golf, this is the course for you. Parking a-plenty, and close to the highway.

Could have been so much better. A few well placed trees would make this a lot more interesting, and if you can't afford a pad, at least place a sign marking the tees! More pin placements please.
