Goose Lake Park

I mean not a bad course overall. The last review i saw was in 2013, and things definitely have changed. The 2^nd hole says hole 6. Probably some young hooligans playing a prank. If you lose your disc on a few holes, beware of prickly bushes. Not as well kept as it may have been in the past. The first hole is by the FAR baseball field. A few of the holes/​chains are rusted, but I guess I can’t complain because it was free. Still fun though!

I’ve never played disc golf before, nor have I ever had an interest. However, when my friend Kelly W. asked if I wanted to try this place in Roselle, I gave it a shot. Why not? So on one of the rare, hot days this summer, we found ourselves trying to navigate this course.
The best way to get here is to park in or near the Waterbury Elementary School parking lot and walk on over. Originally, my directions led me to some residential parking lot on the other side of the park, but I wasn’t able to park there or I’d be towed. Go to the school instead. You have been warned.
Goose Lake Park has a nine-​hole disc golf course that takes about two hours to complete. There’s no maps, so you need to find them ahead of time or just wander around and figure it out yourselves. Boxes of sand mark the starting spots to throw from and the baskets are clearly marked with yellow paint. We managed to find eight of the nine holes and only completed six or seven of them. We were exhausted from the walking and tossing!
The only annoying things about the course were the clusters of tall grass! My frisbee kept ending up in the grass and it took us time to find them if we weren’t paying attention to where they landed. I was wearing shorts and flip flops; it’s not fun walking through tall grass with those on. Once I got the hang of tossing the frisbees, they didn’t go in the grass anymore. Whew. I enjoyed the game more than I thought I would, though!
Since I haven’t played disc golf before, I can’t really compare this to other locations. Yet, the lack of maps, the slightly confusing course design, and the annoying tall grass puts this at a three-​star rating for me. It’s OK. I’d come back, but I’m not in love.
In addition to the disc golf course and walking path, there’s a baseball field and playground for the kiddies. It’s a quiet spot — we only came across a couple other people walking dogs while we were there.

I found out about this course on disc golf website. It has nine holes and theyre easy to spot and throw from. They clearly marked where to throw from using boxes full of sand with signs telling you how far it is and what is par. The park is well maintained with tall grasses in clusters. It is hard to figure out where to park, but you park near the Waterbury Elementary School and the first hole is right by the parking lot. It also has a gorgeous baseball field and a biking track through the park. Furthers mere, you can have kids play on the playground there. It was a great course that was well maintained, easy to find the holes and where to throw from, and short for new beginningers.
