Other Thoughts:
Elkader City Park DGC plays in a large multi-use park on the SE corner of Elkader, IA. A typical park course that plays around part of a large baseball field that takes quite a bit of the space, but you stay away from it. There is a little interaction with the pool from the first tee. Make sure you realize the #1 basket is just past the NE corner of the pool fence, otherwise you'll throw at #3 (like we did, but started over, so stay left). We also mistook the #7 basket for #6, #6 is in between the road and the path, slightly left in the trees. Watch out for the city sign on #8 as I hit it pretty solidly (basket is just behind it). Mostly open lines with trees guarding baskets #2, #3, #4 and #6. #3 and #9 play close to the sand volleyball court. The sign is your obstacle on #8. Road is OB and in play on #1, #3, #4, #5 and #6. It and the walking path were pretty quiet, so probably not a worry there. Highway is OB on #8, but you have to be pretty left to have that in play. Still an enjoyable round to be had, decent for a 9 hole city park course. Upgrading to concrete pads and better signage would add to the rating here. I might play again, if in the area.
