-Beautiful setting in a fairly quiet wooded park.
-Great terrain and elevation changes, especially on the front nine.
-Nice variety of holes and difficulty, never felt like i was playing the same type of hole twice.
-Pars seemed appropriate.
-Back nine is a little more beginner friendly if you have novices/kids in your group.
-Unlikely to lose discs to water. there is a remote possibility on 4 based on recent rainfall
- They've added trash cans and next tee signs.
-Course has a logical flow around the park.
-#9 and #18 are reasonably close to #1

-Tee pads are a little short. only a factor if the course is wet.
Baskets are a little inconsistent in size and height.
Bridge on 7 has been washed out. You have to navigate the gully to get to the basket.

Really a nice 18 in a beautiful setting without a lot of non DG activity in the way.

• Located in a beautiful multi-use park in the center of town
• Varying terrain with rolling hills and sparse to medium woods
• Concrete teepads, Very sharp looking tee signs with Par, Distance and Fairway picture with preferred route and tee location. The tall white tee signs are highly visible and help when locating the next tee.
• Good balance of Right hand/Left Hand shots
• Good balance of long distance shots, finesse shots, mild short tunnel shots and a couple ace runs.
• A Couple of risk/reward shots that consist of throwing over a wooded ravine as well as few blind doglegs
• A few of Canyon/Valley shots
• Easy to navigate. The tee signs really stand out!
• There are a number of different holes that you can start on.
• One really nice long downhill Ace Run
• 6 shots over 300ft, two of which are over 400ft, 3 more are in the 290's. The rest are under 250ft. Only one is less than 200ft.
• Had a High Fun Factor for me!
FWIW
• Playground, Swimming pool, and basketball courts on site

• Could see a number of Non-DG park attendee interactions.
• I could see this as a very busy park on the weekend
• Could use a few more trash cans around the course.
• Perhaps some next tee arrows on some holes. (but really, that's a first time issue only)
• May want to consider having some beginner tee's on some of the longer, more difficult holes. Could be frustrating to newer players.

I was pleasantly surprised when I showed up. Given the previous reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. If you've not played here in a couple of years, you may want to revisit this course. Concrete tee pads have been installed, and tee signs are now in place. It's not a difficult course per say, but it does have a few signature holes that really require finesse and a long arm. Holes #4 & #6 are definitely on my 'favorite fairway' list! I had a great time and I'm looking forward to when I can play here again. I would say that Edmundson in Oskaloosa is a close comparison.
I'd say if you live in Ottumwa, then it'd be worth a drive to check it out. Any further out, just put it on your list for if and when you are in the area. If you are going camping at Lake Rathbun, then definitely swing up and check it out.
I have to give props to the local Centerville DG league! My case with all of my vaporizor's and eliquids (E-cig stuff) fell out of my bag. Didn't realize I lost it until I got back to my truck! These guys found it and got it back to me! I cannot thank them enough!!
