Van Buren Central Park

"One of the best courses I’ve played in awhile and the course was in great condition"

"Which out for the water holes"

"Hard course for a first timer to it, but beautiful layout. Equal technical wooded and open spaces. Equal touch and let loose shots. Recommended for an out of towner"

"Lots of standing water "

"Very nice lay out Pretty course, stream on 4 was tight "

"Fun course. Tight lines and open fields to let some rip. The course could use some better signs but overall very fun. "

"Pretty good layout, some holes have very tight lines but fun overall. Needs tee signs, very difficult to follow even with udisc. "

"Good course design with a mix of open and wooded shots, water hazards on a few holes. Definately needs signs as the only way to tell which way to go is the occasional blue/white dot on a tree"

"Little muddy"

"Really like the holes. Could be a first rate course with signage. If there is a course steward looking at this, for the love of God, please at very least put tape on baskets to indicate which direction the next tee pad is. Absolutely saturated and swampy when I was there."

"Awesome course. Just needs tee pads, signs, markers. Easy to navigate with UDisc, but impossible without it. Blue tees are obvious, but white and gold are invisible. "

"Holes need labeling , overall excellent course. A lot of goose poop"

"Needs better sign/direction otherwise great big course!"

"Beautiful course. Udisc is a necessity"

"Need map to play but great course. "

"Absolute worst signage I have ever seen ( non existent) with that being said loved the course good mix and challenging , loved the woods 👍"

"Woods are a little muddy and obstructed and there aren’t many signs in general. This app is 100% required to play this course. "

"Needs more signs to tell where tee pads are and how to get around course "

"Pros: -fantastic variety of open and wooded holes with lots of different shot shapes and distances. -Concrete Tee pads (blues) are huge and grippy. Cons: - Gold and white tees are literally non existent for almost the entire course. No flags, no gravel, no level ground. They should be taken off Udisc IMO. - No tee marker or directionals anywhere on the course but not hard to navigate with the app - long distance and back tracking between holes (7100 steps for the round) We'll be back!! 🤘"

"Great course! Signage would help make everything clearer but a little of everything! Big elevation changes, water clear holes, tight woods play. Hole 18 is an epic finish if you can throw far too."

"Terrible signage. Hard to navigate "

"Love the course, needs signage "

"Very well kept, a good variety of open and wooded, not too dense in the woods, fairways were clear and had good options for lines. The main tees are blue, select accordingly for your scorecard. There were almost no signs and it’s not the most challenging/creative course out there, but it is a lovely setting! "

"Pretty wet"

"SO GOOD!! Great course"

"Very nice"

"So i have a few opinions that could make this better. On the pad could you spray the corner of the pad so people know if its the white, blue or gold pad. As well maybe inside that paint paint the par on it? Just an idea"

"Nice course. A little muddy but tis the season. Could use signage. "

"Fun course good mix of shots and wooded and open holes...just needs some signage basket numbers and something to point to next tees...otherwise definitely recommend "

"One of the best courses in CNY. It might be difficult to navigate, doesn't have concrete pads for all layouts, can get swampy... But the variety of shots, difficulty of shots, multiple layouts, open/wooded/elevation/water this course has potential to be stellar with a little more work and refinement. Definitely worth playing and a challenge for all skill levels."

"Great course design with a variety of open and covered holes. Played in the icy snow and had to sled down a hill right away, which although slightly painful was also extremely fun. We skipped a couple holes because of people being out and about, but overall really fun. Also, great concrete tees. "

"Sneakyyyyyy fun course, hidden gem type with their mix of open, wooded, flat and elevation. Great stuff, even in late December with wet, sloppy ground. Well played. "

"Layout is fun mix, the keepers are doing a fantastic job of upkeep, still needs hole markers for each tee, if you don't like water holes simply play 15 2x!"

"Other than hole 14 which we skipped because of water hazard, great course"

"From the preview on UDisc, I had no idea that the holes across the grass came with HUGE uphills and downhills. Loved the course because it was a great mix of types of holes: woods, hills, grassy with trees, water. I did have to use UDisc constantly to find the next T so signs would help. I believe that only the Blue course had tee pads in all cases. "

"Great course, bad signs."

"Well maintained but hard to find the next holes, not much signage. Definitely will play again. "

"Fun and challenging course.. but definitley needs more signage. Somebody please Number the baskets and number the tee boxes. "

"Course is amazing! Varied holes for all skill levels. Only hang up to being a 5 star is needing to update the tee locations, and add better signage. "

"Bring bug spray. "

"Lost my pharaoh driver on 14. Wasn't intending to throw it over the water. But I released it late. Man I miss that disc."

"Fun course with a lot of variety. "

"Great variety and new tee pads for the blue paths, it’s easy to find your disc even if you get a bad throw unless it goes in the lake then your on your own but there is only 1 hole that goes across the lake. Use app to find the pads but once you get through it once it’s a very great experience "

"Needs more directional signage to indicate paths. Paper tee maps are very confusing, due to shifted perspective. Tee maps would be much more useful if designed from the approach/perspective of the shot. Great course, well-maintained. A bit buggy in the marshy/wooded areas. "

"Gold tees are serious. Layout is a ton of fun, desperately needs tee signs and directional signage, concrete gold and white tees would be awesome. Overall great set up! "

"This course is very well designed with a good mix of open and woodsy holes. The elevation changes make it very fun and challenging. the park is immaculate. Would be 5 stars if there was better signage and if the baskets were numbered. A "next tee" with an arrow would also help a ton. Otherwise, it's awesome!!!"

"Well manicured, sprawling, scenic disc golf course. White, blue and gold routes are well-thought-out. Will be near perfect after it gets cement tee pads and some good signage."

"Course layout is awesome and getting even better with all the work getting put into it. Maintenance is top notch. Watch out for killer geese."

"Most fun course I’ve ever played. Tee boxes and signs would make it even better. Already a five star for me, however."

"Easily becoming the best course in the area. Course was recently reworked and has a much better flow. Three sets of tee pads with blue tees being cement (just poured today) and the other 2 grass (for now). Signage is in the works but its easy to follow with the map. You get everything here. Uphill, downhill, open, wooded, forehand, backhand, and you get the pond shots!"

"Course was a lot of fun. It was a bit advanced for us, newbies! Signage needed for sure, other than that, a very pleasant course!"

"Course is very backhand heavy. Good mix of distance and short shaped shots. Challenges you in weird ways"

"Good layout, painted posts to mark where teepads are. Main thing is it needs signs."

"My favorite layout in the Syracuse area. Has a little bit of everything with a perfect mix of open, woods, water and fun elevation holes"

"Lots of hiking but a really nice layout. The woods holes reward you for accuracy and the open holes are fun to grip and rip. Last hole was a crazy downhill shot! "

"Awesome all around course with huge elevation changes, wooded and wide open fairways that are well maintained. The added bridges and log walks are A+ and trails are easy to walk with painted arrows or trail marks to guide you. The use of the land on this course was excellent. PS if you cant throw over the pond throw around it :)"

"Fun and challenging course. Good mix of open, elevation and wooded holes. Just needs signs to bring it up to an amazing course."

"This course is a lot of fun. Pretty difficult to maneuver, and a bit of a death trap in the morning dew, but it’s challenging and different!"

"Needs better signage for the non wooded holes. This app was the only reason I could navigate. "

"Great course but the park workers cry if you get your disc out of the pond."

"New layout? Has the app been updated? Very confusing "

"Really fun mix of open, wooded and mixed holes with some really great hole layouts. New tee pads, have made this the most fun course in the greater Syracuse area."

"Updated course isn't my favorite but I still love the wooded holes and they have cut down a lot of the brush which I really appreciate!"

"New layout works well. Great elevation changes and variety. "

"Redesign is great "

"Needs better signage. Didn’t see a single sign... looks like lots of potential tho! Beautiful area."

"Lost a disc in the tall reeds by the pond. Let me know if anyone finds it! It was hard to find where to throw from"

"Super easy to lose your discs as the woods are thick! New tee pads really brought up the quality of the course, add some signs and this is one of the best in the area!"

"Really tough to find tee pads. Holes 10 to 14 are crazy. Paths between holes not the best on UDisc"

"Fun but technical at times, be ready to do a lot of searching if it is your first time playing the front 9 those woods are unforgiving. Bugs can be an issue but not for us. Overall it’s a long fun course, don’t get discouraged"

"Lost a yellow wraith driver on hole 4... Overall: nice baskets, tees are unmarked, some holes too long, lots of places to loose a disc..."

"Decent design. Poor signage, tees. Thanks for being open despite COViD-19."

"The course is nice, but the signage is terrible. Even with the app you're blindly wandering from basket to the next tee box. Many tee boxes have no marking at all."

"In great shape! Wonderful course!"

"Love this course, needs teepads and some love but the layout is awesome. "

"No tees blue and white posts. If you are a rec player stay with th white tees. Without Udisc I wouldn't have found several tees. Back nine difficult but fun. Be careful of the lake a little breeze and your disk is gone. With tee pads and signs I would rate this much higher. If your in the area this is a must do."
