Madisonville City Park
Madisonville, KY
Course Review:
Its amid a beautiful park some what similar to Noble park with its
large trees and no under brush with lots a shot routes and is well
groomed. Its 3 times as large as Noble and very scenic with a lake
that is in view through out most of the park that comes into play on a
couple of holes.
It starts out misleadingly tame with an easy,open 300' hole then the
next couple of holes are over looking the lake and is some what open
except for a few well calculated trees that make these holes
challenging yet parable or better.
the next couple of holes are through a airy wooded area that is a lot of
fun again NO under brush.
The next couple of holes are where the lake comes into play,the first
being with the lake on your left so you wanna make sure you dont
through to much of a hyser or youll be swimming. The next is about
250' (roughly) across the lake makes it nervous and fun at the same
time. although none of the three of made it across it was at our own
demise(crappy throws,I threw a worm burner over a lake....not a good
idea).
Then you start getting into some larger 450' to 600+' holes that are not
as bad as it sounds because most have a gradual slope down that
makes those distances obtainable for most golfers. these and the
rest of the holes are again in an open wooded area like the back side
of Noble, tons of routes around the big oaks with no sapplings to
hinder a perfect throw.
The park is shared with a ball golf course which has no effect to disc
golfers but there is a pro shop at hole one and eighteen that has cold
drinks and picnic tables on a shaded front deck,soon they will carry
disc golf gear. overall I give it an A+ its unbelievablly beautiful and fun
one of my favorite HB courses,not sure of the overall length but its very
long.
Great job HB! cant wait to play it again.
