Pros:
Nestled in a small town park, this older nine hole course has an interesting amount of variety, from open ace runs (1, 5 & 6) to blind over-ridge shots (2, 3 & 7), to one down-slope bomb (the 374' hole 4: well, 'bomb' for those of us with Rec level distance, anyway). There are distinct lines of flight to hit, and elevation in play on a number of holes, so this is a pretty fun and varied set of holes for the region, and the only game in town, so to speak. I hope the locals appreciate what they've got, and a lot of casual to Recreational level players get to enjoy it.
There are very nice map signs for the two sections of the course, so the fact that there are no raised tee signs isn't too much of a problem. I like the fact that the concrete tee pads have the distances stamped in the front. For those of us that don't putt with excessive vigor, the older Innova DiscCatchers (just 12 chains) caught OK. I like the color coding of the baskets so there's no confusion when multiples are in your field of view.
The park has some pretty log cabin structures (including a picturesque covered bridge), bathrooms, an amphitheater, and a play area, so there are features for the rest of the family.
Cons:
The age of the course shows. I noted the older baskets, and firm putts will cut through. The tee pads are tiny by today's standards (3'x6'), and unfortunately conform to the slopes so that a few holes do not have a level area from which to tee off. I suppose it's fortunate, then, that none of the holes on the course really require a huge drive. Bigger arms will find no real challenge here, and will likely not need to bring much more than a putt/approach disc.
The flow of the course runs into a little bit of a quirk at hole 5. After finishing 4, cross the parking lot, check out the second course sign, and walk around the drainage creek once to the tee, then around left again to the basket. Hole 7 is blind uphill (you have to shoot to the right of the lamp-post and a good 80' past, over a drive/path). Hole 9 plays down in the woods right at the corner of the 'stage'/cabin, and to the right of the creek, and the soil down there is extremely soft and can be muddy.
Other Thoughts:
Heading home from my folks' place in Texas, I decided to bag a course in Arkansas, and looked at the map to see if I could find one down in the corner of Missouri, and found this fun, little nine holer. Perfect, if a little out of the way, for stretching my legs. I actually enjoyed it.
