The bare essentials 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 7, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course is laid out around a small lake, and has a variety of holes, some of which are wide-open bombers, and others which are wooded but fair, with well-defined fairways, and a few which play along the lake. Each hole has permanent teepads for short (white) and long (blue), with the promise of a further set of gold teepads in the planning stages. Every hole has multiple basket positions available. The baskets are DD Veterans and catch well.

There is quite a bit of elevation for this part of the country, and it is used to effect on nearly every hole. The few holes which lack elevation have an abundance of trees.

It is quite an ambitious project, with great potential.

Cons:

At this date (early September, 2019) there are yet no tee signs, which is a huge problem, particularly given the multiple tee pads and basket positions, as well as the prairie grass which carpets the non-wooded holes. (When the grass is taller than one's ankles, the slab teepads are obscured from sight unless you know exactly where to look for them, or are approaching them from a higher elevation.) There is no information kiosk or map sign. There are no trash cans. There are no benches. A few of the most wide-open holes are nearly devoid of trees or terrain features, aside from elevation.

The sum of the construction so far is just nineteen baskets (one practice basket) and 36 slabs of concrete. The lack of amenities knock the course down a full point from 3.0 (good) to just 2.0.

Other Thoughts:

With the addition of tee signs, benches, and trash cans this could become a much more approachable and friendly course for all sorts of disc golfers.
