Pros
Great course suitable for all abilities. BBQ and toilet facilities located near hole 1. You will get plenty of exercise walking up and down the hills on this course. You can also borrow discs from the local library.

Cons
The alternate tee markers can be a little tricky to find (pegs in ground) so make sure you download a map if you plan to play the 9 or 18 hole course. The map at hole one only shows the original six tees.

Pros
Course suitable for beginners and experienced players. Course has elevation changes, which make it more fun.

Cons
Map shows 6 baskets, actually there are 9 baskets and 18 teepads. The back 9 tee's are hard to find, you will need the map from their website to find them.

Great public course with full facilities. Holes are beginner-friendly but can still pose a challenge for the better players seeking to go under par.

Cons
Others have noted the difficulties in locating tees for the newer holes and also the alternates. the map is available here: http://www.melbournediscgolf.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ruffey-Lake-18-hole-Course.pdf

Pros
Beginner friendly course with alternate 9 tees that keep the course challenging enough for players of all skill levels. Tournament layout makes use of the amazing elevation changes on offer, making for a much improved experience. Great park facilities near HQ.

Cons
Limited parking when park gets busy. Natural tee pads are well worn, some with exposed tree roots.

Pros
It's a great 18, but as a standard 9 it is just OK. Layout seems to revolve around the big layout, if the 9 was the focus it could be a solid 4.

Cons
The public on weekends can at times deem it unplayable.

Great course with elevation changes and requires a variety of shots, 18 holes. I really like the back 9. In the future, I would love to see more baskets around the water! :) There are toilets, BBQ's, and water. Very green.

Cons
No tee pads
