Hermitage Park

"It is a fine winter course, although there are no visible tee markers. Obviously lacks summer maintenance. Park could support a great course."

"Fun course. Some tee pads are hard to find. "

"Some disc searching. Long grass"

"Awesome fun but bring back the valley crossing on 15 😀"

"If you’re into outrageous amounts of thistles, intensely buzzing power lines, long boring holes and strange layouts - this is the course for you! "

"Great Course. Baskets seem just installed so a bit of work left to do. Signs marking tee pads would be beneficial to new players. Really fun course where par was a good score that forces some good shots. "

"Fun holes with wide large fairways. Baskets look brand new. Loses stars for extremely confusing tee block layouts. Tee blocks are only indicated with small signs in the dirt. "

"I understand the desire for naturalization, but I don't know the value of weeds and thorny bushes and I think this place is in dire need of landscaping. Every errant throw will have you searching through some of the worst rough I have encountered. Layout could use some tweaks to make it easier to navigate. Tee pads would be nice. 18 holes is great, but not in the current state. "

"I would like it a lot more if they upgraded the tee boxes and had signs that showed the holes. Just finding the tee boxes can be a challenge at times."

"Poor upkeep but fun"

"Thick bush and thistles. Hard to find discs. Not great for beginners. "

"The thistles are deadly. My legs are shredded. "

"Tons of thistles and long grass everywhete"

"If grass gets cut, it will be way better. Still some fun short and lots of long holes that will test arm strength. Need UDisc to navigate. "

"I want to love Hermitage, it's my girlfriend's favorite park, but I can't recommend it currently. It's punishing on new players as you'll spend so much time looking for your disc in the overgrown grass, or be battling the *thorned* brush/shrubs The new hole 8: either have a perfect approach or say goodbye to your disc This course desperately needs a maintenance plan to get the grass cut. I've played here in the winter, spring, summer, and fall ... Summer is sadly the worst time to play here"

"Mosquitos and tall grass and thistles."

"Awesome course! Just make sure you have pants, mosquito spray and a spotter. "

"Great mix of long and short shots with a lot of technical challenges. Grass is very tall on almost every hole and the layout would have been very hard to play without the app."

"Needs tee pads"

"This course has a lot of potential to be great. I think it’s the prettiest course in Edmonton with lots of fun holes. Biggest drawbacks right now are the congested teepads in the middle, and the number of holes where the fairway/landing area is just knee high weeds and thistles. Better to play in the spring or fall. "

"Course itself is good but the amount of tall thorns you have to walk through to find a disk is quite frustrating and painful."

"Some great hole layouts, new baskets!! needs better tee box navigation instead of looking at your phone to find the next hole. Also needs some serious mowing imo, but other than that great track. Watch out for the thorn bushes. Lol "

"Great potential here. Would be 4+ star if t pads were in half decent locations. Most are alright but too many are up hill/on awful angles and uneven surfaces. Love seeing new courses pop up though! "

"Layout isn’t the best. You backtrack and walk over other holes and trails throughout. No great holes. Not bad but not worth driving to. "

"The missing star is only for the absence of signs. Udisc is a must to navigate this course on the first visit! Other than that, really nice course. Still lots of geese!"

"Played today for the first time since the course was opened, very nice layout and some great challenging holes. Played the blue tees. Just avoid going in the bushes because they are thorns"

"Goose poop. Otherwise great!"

"Good layout. Would be nice to have signs. Wind is pretty bad and makes the course challenging. Overall a good course. "

"Mostly open with a few unique shot shaping holes. The wind can be gnarly out here which makes it fun and challenging at the same time. Nice place to be playing on a sunny day. Lots of Parking. "

"Great course for young families. We’ll definitely be back!"

"Great course. Just needs those tee pads installed."

"Played the course in the fall. Was shocked the course is used for tournaments… There are no tee signs or tee pads, thistles everywhere, long grass growing wild. If the course was taken care and upgraded of I would rate it 4-4.5. It’s a fun course just can’t handle the lack of maintenance. "

"first round is always a chore. overall a nice layout in spring. but once the GROWTH is back bring a disc tracker!!"

"Great course! Good variety of holes. No tee pads but I think they are coming. "

"This course is in a beautiful park. It is well laid out and challenging but fair. The thick brush makes errant shots punishing. I like the fact that there are blue and red tees to make it accessible for all skill levels. I will definitely be back to play this course next time I am in town. "

"Beast of a course, once tee pads are installed and directional arrows this will be a nice round. 14 tee pad needs to be moved or flattened out"

"Great course! If it had tee pads it would be a 5 star from me. "

"A little confusing layout but overall fun "

"Great course that will only get better as they continue to work on it. "

"Very sick course. Signs would be dope. Also a bit more grass cutting "

"Lots of fun"

"Beautiful setting! and should be really fun for beginner to advanced players alike. It will only get better with time, but there is lots of long grass, "gopher hole" ankle twisters, and prickly plants, so I suggest wear solid shoes and long pants. "

"Tee pads aren't well marked so you have to keep a close eye. Do not wear open toed shoes or shorts, there's tons of rose bushes and thistles. It has tons of potential but the holes need a bit more love and massaging."

"Decent lines. Thistles in a very punishing OB. Use spotters. Favours left handed throwers. With some field management, this could become a 4/5 easily. Good job Wally & crew."

"Needs some grooming still. Layout is a bit funky. Hole 4 and 14 are disc eaters. Lots of long grasses. Has potential though."

"Excellent variety, great baskets"

"Great course, good variety - holes aren’t yet marked well"

"Great change of pace from Rundle. Very scorable from the reds, have yet to play the blues but they seem much more difficult. Still new and will continue to be a work in progress for a while yet. Highly recommend a spotter for now until some grooming comes into effect, and maybe even after. Some fun lines and elevation too! Nice baskets too, even though I got spit out twice!!"

"This course rocks. If you're worried about the thorns and the thistle keep playing Rundle. "

"We played Saturday and the course has been used quite abit so there’s pathways through the a lot of the thistles now. If the obs and mandos could be described here in the page that would be nice. Not everyone was involved in your hard work so these are not known to everyone. 😁"

"Needs some cleaning up, but it’s a great course!"

"Nice layout. Needs grooming. Enjoyed the red tees. Fairways of long grass and thistle made it hard to find discs. Watch out for the large holes in the ground near the big power poles. "

"Mow the fairways"

"Fun holes for the most part but it needs some work done. Back half has a few uphill/downhill/uneven tees, we ran into a lot of congestion in the middle part of the course from people just throwing other holes, and the green on hole 6 is just a real rough unmowed thistle patch. "

"Played red Tees. Has improved since we last played it a month ago. High weeds but it’s getting better. No signage yet. Grass tees. Still fun!"

"Agree with the previous reviews stating that pants are required as the thistles are still pretty wild on some holes. Nice change of pace from Rundle, accuracy is required on a number of holes or you're in bogey-ville."

"Spotters, pants, boots and bright disks are a good idea, hopefully will be better next year "

"Really beautiful course, still very natural with a lot of thick brush suggest some spotters during your round, keep in mind there is also a lot of mosquitoes and thistle bushes which get worse as the summer goes on, so long pants and bug spray are recommended "

"Great to have a new course in Edmonton. Make sure your legs are covered, the course has been here for 1 day so some long grass and weeds. Overall fun and can't wait to see this get better and better. "

"Pants and long sleeve shirt are a must. Tee boxes are a little hard to find the first time. Very challenging course."

"Lots of fun! Pro tees are super challenging. Wear pants !!!!"

"Highly suggest wearing pants"

"Long pants and spotters are a must"

"It recycles the same hole about 4 times; Open field shot straight to a basket that is slightly surrounded by trees. The par 4’s should be par 3’s. "
