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.
