kp says "A nice short course that is easy going, allows for several different throwing techniques at each hole and makes for a fun round of disc golf, especially for new players (I brought someone for their fi...morerst time out and they didn’t struggle with this course). Lots of big (old growth) trees, but your never pigeon holed into throwing a certain way or on a certain line. I really liked the large tee pads since my home course only has small square ones. Nicely maintained course with great scenery (if you are into that).

The downside is that the course can be confusing the first time through since most baskets don’t have a number and you can sometimes see multiple baskets from a tee, but following someone else or after your first time through and this is not a problem.

My only other complaint, and this is more my preference, is that some baskets were moved from out in the open to being “bunkered” in the woods. By that I mean tucked back in the woods with 1 way in and no real way to land close to the basket off the tee. I have seen this before and it seems to be some kind of “ace proofing” method or added difficulty for difficulty’s sake; similar to adding a windmill obstacle to a ball golf green and just as silly in my eyes. This only happens twice and you can see where the basket was originally which seemed like fine locations on both holes....less"

tonecapone says "I have really honed my skills on this course. Now that they have put in second hole locations on most holes it adds a little more difficulty to the overall skill set. Improvements seem to be made ever...morey week and I cant wait to see what it may look like in the near future.

Its location is good and bad at the same time. Its good because its close. Bad because its close for everyone. Very often i see people playing with ring discs and little kids playing. This is good for the sport and all but makes it impossible for a quick round. The course is on the banks of the Scioto River and if you don't have a lot of control bad things can come on some holes, but that is why they call it a hazard. Another big thing is there are avid bikers/walkers/runners besides the course at all times and on some holes they may get in the way.

There are a lot of cool people who play here so don't be afraid to make friends and play with new people....less"

airmanpineapple says "If you have someone that you want to introduce to disc golf, this is the course to do it at. It's scenic, located right on the river, and set amongst the trees. The course is very well kept by the c...moreity and is usually very clean. It's also not particularly muddy after the rain, which is surprising given its proximity to the river. The course itself is not super challenging, and with the exception of two or three holes is not so long as to discourage newer players from participating with more experienced ones. Granted, the last hole is crazy long, but you'll have that. The course flows well from hole to hole, and the tee boxes are clearly marked by hole number, so a first timer wouldn't need a guide to make it through the course.

Downsides are minimal with this course. There are no facilities that I've ever seen, so that would be a downside to a family. Pedestrians can be a hazard in mid-summer, as there is a jogging / bike path through a portion of the course. The parking is gravel and adjacent to the course, so there's a risk of your car getting pegged by an errant toss or two. The woods are a nice obstacle, but they're not so over grown that they will eat your discs. The river can be a hazard on three holes, but most of the time it's receded enough that the brush on the edge keeps your discs from getting drowned.

Overall, it's a great beginners course with a few anhyser throws and some good distance on at least two holes. Several holes require a strong, straight throw, and others depend on finesse. It's a good mix to learn your chops....less"

cburke says "Griggs Reservoir Park is a course located off of Riverside Drive (Route 33) in Upper Arlington. If you really like disc golf and you're in the area for another reason, then this is a fun course to pl...moreay, albeit not terribly difficult.

This course is going to be somewhat easy for the people with experience on their side. There are some tricky shots and a par 5 18th hole adds to the difficulty. There are plenty of opportunities for birdies if you are an experienced player.

There are absolutely no facilities to speak of. The road into the parking area is dilapidated at this point and has huge pot holes in some areas. There is somewhat adequate parking, on busy days you have to walk a bit from the 18th hole. It looks like this area used to be a campground and at one time there was a building that resembled a bathroom.

There isn't much in the way of family friendliness for this course. There is a park up the road that you could leave the significant other and the kids at and come back for them after the game, but you better bring something for them to do besides swim in the dirty looking river. I wouldn't let someone that I loved swim in that.

The crowds can get pretty bad on the weekends and after 3pm on weekdays. It's not unusual to have to wait 5 to 10 minutes to start a round. The holes aren't spaced very far apart, which is a necessity considering how much land the course is on, so be prepared to wait for people to throw if it is particularly busy.

There isn't much in the way of scenery. You have a river on one side, which you can't see most of the time because of all the trees/growth next to the river. Of course on the opposite side, you have Route 33 with it's bodacious traffic. The course is littered with trees here and there. Other than that, it isn't much to look at.

All in all, it's an okay course. If it's in your area, you probably already go. If it's quite a drive for you, drive somewhere else....less"

xelto says "This is a long, narrow park that stretches out and back down a strip along the river. It's mosly open, but is still challenging because of the winds off the river. No really memorable holes. It wou...moreld be pretty, except that the course is mostly inside a narrow corridor, and the scenery is all outside that corridor. It's also poorly marked, with no course map availible, but still navigable. There's heavy traffic, even on weekdays....less"

fortay says "I finally played the course I've heard everybody talking about. The best thing about Griggs is that it's short--extremely quick to play a round, so quick, in fact, that you should play two. Course see...moremed fairly short to me except for a few holes and inaccurate drives (mine) aren't punished too badly unless they land behind a tree. It's pretty wide open so if a drive gets past the trees, you're in good, birdie shape. A lof of similar holes and many ace oppurtunities. A great course for a beginner as long as he doesn't mind playing in front of and behind other groups....less"

mcoppel says "Course can be busy during prime hours. Layout is basic but nice. many holes in the 300 plus range."

JTMelton says "This course is all open and fun to play. You will find a lot of people there so be prepared to wait a little."

dandavis says "no i am not talking about the feathered ones, this is the birdie capitol.duece or loose good layout for the space available lots of fun to play"

milesd says "has to be my least favorite course in Columbus... like the other reviews say it's pretty cut-n-dry, no TOO challenging. Does need a variety of throws, but not much finesse... it's a decent course... g...moreood for beginners to get down the basics of play, it tends to get busy on really nice days...less"

roy says "This course is built between Riverside Drive and the river. Its long and narrow, not the ideal location for a course but the designers did the best with what they had. Good signs, concrete tees and qu...moreality targets. Not a lot of obsticles and half the holes are strait shots. The driveway needs patched, so drive SLOW after turning off Riverside, hey thats Columbus for ya.

I go there about once a month for something different and to practice my drives. No restrooms but I'm a guy so that doesn't bother me. I reccomend it to anyone thats enthusiastic about the sport....less"

kyle says "Flat course, no woods. A few nice holes, notably holes 3 and 12, but for the most part the same thing each time. Concrete tees and easy course to navigate, but missing signs on a few of the tees. Not ...moreworth traveling to, but adequate if you live in Columbus....less"
