Pros:
Most amateurs will appreciate a variety of game-refining elements : risk/reward, elevation changes, wind, technical challenges, scenery, open/distance shots, tilted stances, ace opportunities, and quick rounds. The steep-banked creek on holes 2, 4,5, and 6 will swallow plenty of lousy shots. Holes 11-13 and 15-17 have mature growth. Expect areas of deeper grass framing some fairways as the course matures. Several holes have either severe roll-away potential, or steep basket-area drop-offs. Within a month of opening, several improvements (tree planting, drainage, brush clearing, assorted garbage containers) have occurred. A few original farm buildings remain.
Cons:
Talented pros will likely find this course to be lacking a wow factor, but should still enjoy a trip here, especially if combined with other area courses. It is brand new(fall 2018) and heavy rains will damage sloped fairways until established. A steady parade of heavy construction vehicles from the adjacent quarry cause noise and gravel dust everywhere. Beware of barbed-wire fencing concealed within brushy areas. Closed until at least 11am M-F. Very limited parking lot.
Other Thoughts:
Unknown if this new course will stay open for winter play.
The toughest positions and a gusty wind maybe bump this to a 3 rating. There are restaurants, hotels, and the mall within 5 minutes from the course.
A nearby walking/biking trail extension is in progress. Congratulations to Coralville, the land donators, and the designer for this enjoyable new disc property.
