Pros:

- Restroom on site.
- Nice park with picnic tables and pavilions.
- Very easy bag off of I-25
- Like new baskets
- Posts mark tee locations
- Small field in park for warm-up throws.
- Easy navigation...you can see every basket.
- You almost always have the place to yourself.

Cons:

- No shade at ALL in the summer
- Poor/No signage
- Restroom closed in winter
- Muddy creek on a few holes.
- Straight to the basket shots. No shaping required.
- No Tee pads
- Tall grass in summer
- No practice basket but it's easy to use #9

Other Thoughts:

Ames Park is a small park in an even smaller town. It's surprisingly well kept though, however the course is not.

Tall timbers are used to mark the Tee locations, but there is no designated Tee area. I throw from the right side of each Tee marker, but the ground can be very uneven.

This place is murder in the summer. No shade makes for a very hot/sweaty round. Play early in the morning or at sunset.

The park is well kept, but the town lets the course grow out during the summer. Play early in the spring since the grass can get thigh high in summer.

Use the bridges to cross the small creek. It looks dry, but the ground is always saturated here, and this is not mud that you want to bring inside your vehicle.

Hole 9 can have issues with the park if other people are using it, but that's rare.

This course is less than a mile west off the exit, making it a bagger's dream. Unfortunately that's the only person who should take the time to play here.
