-Front 9 are very technical
-Back 9 are more open and LONG, yet still plenty of trees/bushes in play.
-Flow is good
-Well kept park, grass is mowed, very little trash
-Bathrooms available (were locked during a tournament)
-Plenty of parking by hole #1
-A,B & C tee pads to offer different challenges/distances(ALL concrete)
-Mach 3 baskets on all but 2-4 holes.
-Variety of shots needed to tame this course
- Pond comes into play on holes #2 and #10
- Hole #7 is challenging(playing road O.B.) but one of the most picturesque holes, I've ever played. Never saw the waterfall in operation yet but still beautiful!
-Multiple pin placements(I've noticed @ least on the front 9)
-Variety of trees to play around. Not just Cottonwoods.
- Hole #3 is a really cool one. Keep it between the pines and you'll be just fine!
-Elevation on the front 9 is plentiful.
-Hole #13 is REALLY LONG. Good opportunity for a long bomb and a long approach shot.
-Course plays away and around other park areas, so little need to worry about playgrounds/Camping/Parking Lot areas.(Walking/Bike path along the back 9 is the only part to be weary of pedestrians.
-Fun yet challenging course to play at.

-Map/Signage could be better and on ALL tee pads.
-Hole #5(B or C Tee pad) doesn't have a sign but A or B, in front of it does, kind of blocking a route between a couple trees.
-A few holes on the back 9 were replaced by cheaper baskets(I think all but 1 or 2 were single chain)
-Back 9 has ZERO elevation change.
-Didn't notice very many trashcans around the course.
-Some trees on Hole #3 looked like they caught the pine bug and/or blew down. (would hate to see any more of these trees disappear)
-Looked like someone was living next to the tee pad of #12. Sleeping bag/blankets/bugs, next to the river bank.(Guy on my card said that it was there during one of last years tournaments)
-Long walk back to hole #1 from #18
-If you like to cross the creek, from hole #8 to hole #9, there are stepping stones/blocks but it's sketchy to cross. Could easily put a bridge plank over this area.

Really cool course and worth making a trip to check it out! The transition from the, wooded/technical front 9 to the open/long back 9 is pretty intense so it seems almost like 2 different courses linked together. It's a great course for all levels of players, you just have to play the tees suited for your skill level. I never have had any problems with the few lower quality baskets, on the back 9 but when making a longer putt, I had some doubts. Can't say enough about holes #3 & #7, just really awesome holes that you don't see much of around here. Other cool shots are holes #1(footbridge),#2(over pond),#10(hard right around pond),#15(thick bushes by pin),#18(tall pines protecting pin) A windy day, out of the right or wrong direction can really change your score. Seemed to be little pockets, here and there, where wind currents will flow different directions. Awesome course!!!! I highly recommend giving it a go!

The front nine is amazing for technical throws. Multiple tees per hole each bring a interesting drive angle towards the basket. #2 has a small pond you can throw over, which comes back into play on #10. #3 has tall pine trees that force a tight dogright. #5 is my favorite as the basket is situated on the slope of a tall hill. Very challenging but you fill rewarded when sinking a birdie. #7 can be quite scenic next to the basket as a rock formation has a waterfall when weather permits.

The back nine. Other than #10, each hole is long, open and has no elevation changes. Several large trees (One has a sign next to it saying its the tallest of its species in Nebraska.) can provide obstacles. If you like to throw long drives, this is a fair opportunity. As long as the wind is calm, otherwise watch out for discs heading towards the river!

This was my very first course to play on. A big thanks to my brother and the local players for introducing me to the sport. The local league is full of great players and they give great advice. Overall, this is a excellent course. Better signage would bring the course near perfection, including markers on the basket poles pointing towards next tee. Last thought, although it may be a huge undertaking. What if it were possible to dig a small pond on the back nine? The field in the park is largely open. Some bushes and park benches would create obstacles. If the City Parks and Recreation could get onboard for park improvement and beautification, this could help the course in a big way.

Layout... This is a very fun course, especially the front 9. The front weaves through an area with some great elevation change and water on a few holes. Big, mature trees are all over adding to the challenge. The holes aren't very long, but are pretty technical. I usually throw BH, FH, Rollers and sometimes thumbers while playing here. The back 9 is much more wide open and longer. There is plenty of space to bomb some drives.

Infrastructure... Three cement tees per hole - beginner, intermediate and pro - is very nice. The pads are pretty small compared to other courses, but doable. The baskets are in OK shape, this park occasionally floods and some baskets are rusty. Some tee signs are present, others aren't. This is mainly a pro because there are 3 tees/hole.

Challenge/fun... This course is a blast to play. You'll throw a wide variety of shots and have to shape lines to avoid the trees, water and manage the elevation. While the elevation isn't extreme, it is enough to make you think about your approach to the hole. A couple small ponds and a small creek run through the front 9 while a large river borders a couple holes on the back 9. Holes 1,2,3, and 7 are especially memorable. Hole one is a long shot over a large open valley and creek, hole two's intermediate and pro tees force you to throw over a scenic pond, hole three is a long tree-lined (righty) anhyzer/forehand shot, and hole 7 is bordered by a creek and road, with the basket placed in front of a gorgeous artificial waterfall. The tees allow everyone to have fun, no matter your ability.

Park Atmosphere... Chautaugua is a very nice, large, clean park. Besides some playground equipment and a large tabernacle, this park is pretty empty of man-made structures. Everything is kept up really nice, and the park is really pretty year-round. There is a road that winds through the park and a walking path, and an RV park that is usually fairly full in the middle. None of these interfere with the golfing, and the park is very quiet and peaceful. For the most part no graffiti or vandalism is present.

Navigation... while I think the course layout is good, the navigation is tricky if you haven't played here before. Since many of the tee signs aren't present you'll need to hunt for the alternate tee pads. The front 9 is pretty easy to navigate, but the back is kind of tough to find your way around. Get ready to walk because the design uses the whole park... and its a big park. There is a huge hike from 18's basket back to 1's tee, might take 10 minutes or more.

City Support... for some reason the city parks dept. has never liked the course, even though its one of the best in the state. They have purposely planted large bushes directly in front of tee pads, ran over pads with heavy equipment and cracked them, and "accidentally" cut down trees so they would fall on baskets. Even with a great course this small town hasn't really caught on to disc golf, other than a small group of hard-core golfers.

Overall this is a very fun course, definitely worth the drive to check out. With the wide variety of shots, obstacles, and tee's, you're sure to have a good time. It's just a shame there isn't more local support and tournaments held here.
