A classic park course

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 7, 2024 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

A beautiful piece of property, especially for where it is in the city. Some really nice rolling hills and old growth trees, the whole place has the feeling of an arboretum that happens to have a disc golf course.

The course was well taken care of when I was there (and its been a wet summer, so its a clear sign its well maintained), and there was a crew actively trimming some trees and caring for the grounds of the larger park.

From the short tees, many of the holes were fairly reachable...yet it still had enough difficulty to challenge bigger arms. Hole 15, which appears to be newly added, is a classic tunnel hole design that feels like a signature hole.

Cons:

The initial cons are standard with any park-style course; some overlaps with roads and trails, holes that feel a little repetitive as they wind around the edge of the park. There were also a couple of long walks in the layout, and its more natural to go from Hole 7 to 11 and might be easy to miss 8-10.

But the bigger issue comes with what I assume is an active redesign. Hole 2 and 14 had teepads that were on a 45deg angle from the basket. Even with updated signs, it was confusing where the basket was on multiple holes. Hole 14's basket is far too close to 13's teepad, and on a downhill hole, is a real hazard on a busy day. It seems like they were moving teepads around, so this may change.

Likewise, because holes have been added and/or teepads moved, the flow from Hole 14->18 was very confusing. 15 plays to nearly 17's teepads, and you must walk a decent distance to play 16 only to circle back. It makes more sense for the long tees, but the short tees were a confusing path.

Other Thoughts:

I previously lived in DC, and to have a course this quality within the "beltway" of Des Moines is nice (doubly so considering Southwoods is within that beltway too). Its certainly a course that shows some age, which I suspect the redesign is addressing, and I think the baskets on a few holes being in more interesting pin locations would also easily move this course up half a star.

2 attempts, 1 play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 16, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

The front is all trees and the back is a bit more open, making for a very fun round of 18.

The hills and trees provide a nice challenge.

Now that I understand, having the multiple basket locations should prove to keep this course fresh and challenging now matter how many times you play.

Hard to lose a disc here. (I tried 3 times. ;) )

Cons:

No overall map.

Update:

Somebody on here messaged me and apparently there has been some vandalization that a group is currently recovering from by replacing the signs, etc.

Weird mix of "old" signs, and obviously newer signs, making it very confusing.

Other Thoughts:

Update on the signs:

I've not played the 18 hole "long tees", which are the "old" ones mentioned below. Things do make sense (even though the distances didn't quite match uDisc.

This course seems "legendary" around here. I see some sort of tournament played here fairly often. Since i just started playing, it's been on my "bucket list" and I am happy to cross it off.

It is enjoyable, but all the tee pads and duplicate signs made it very confusing for me. None of the distances matched up with what uDisc showed on the map when I played the "short" from the new signs. I will attempt again with the pads near the "old" signs to see if things match up better.

In any case, it was very enjoyable and I understand why it is popular. I plan to play many more times!

Another gem in the DSM crown 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 8, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Concrete Tees
-Multiple tee pads for most
-Good mix of open/wooded and long/short
-9 Hole loops
-Baskets decent
-Signage is good
-Many benches on long tees
-2 practice baskets

Cons:

-Front 9 mostly re-designed, needs new map, confusing
-Few trashcans
-Only a port-o-potty for facilities on site
-Can get busy at times
-Path/road comes into play on 11, 12, 14, 15
-Bugs can become a problem in season

Other Thoughts:

Ewing Park DGC is located in the southeast part of Des Moines, IA. This part of the park is mostly disc golf, but a walking path/road comes into play on a few holes. It appears the front 9 have been almost completely re-designed, was tough to follow at first as the only map available was old and out of date. Other than a those few quibbles, Ewing belongs in the crown jewels of the Des Moines disc golf scene, along with Big Creek, Grandview, Picard and Walnut Glen. You get plenty of trees to work with on the front 9, opening up more on the back 9. Lines are a little tougher through the trees, but OK. Elevation plays quite a bit here, too. We paired this with Grandview for a full day of throwing. Rating suffers a bit here with an tough to follow re-designed front 9 (a new map would do wonders). Bring some bug repellent in season and enjoy. A good test that I will play again.

Great course, mix of Iowa and NW US style 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 19, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Not a lot of ground over like you often find in Des Moines courses, which I always find to be very unpleasantly full of burrs and chiggers. The front 9 are very similar to what you find in the Pacific NW, with lots of trees and not much brush. Very, very pretty. Long holes. You hit the back, and it's super fun to really let loose. Folks were extremely friendly, and even at 2pm on a Saturday, with a tourney in progress no less, the traffic was light not heavy.

Cons:

Tad difficult to navigate the first time without asking for help, and the weird deal where you have to walk back up the hill for the second hole pad is still a thing. There still doesn't seem to be signage with a course map at the beginning. At least that we could find.

Other Thoughts:

I just really liked this well maintained, varied course!

Classic course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 26, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Multiple tee pads. Well balanced for distance and right/left shots. Multiple trash cans. Good use of elevation. Well designed for flow. Good size parking lot. Nice park. Well manicured on most holes. A few holes were impressive. Good intermediate course from the longs. Good beginner course from the shorts. Fun. Lot of fun uphill and downhill shots. Lot of ace runs from the shorts. If you can throw close to 450 feet you have a pretty good advantage on the longs.

Cons:

Could also use some next tee direction signs. A lot of trash on the ground. Edit:played again and the trash was picked up. No course information signs/map at parking lot. Not very challenging for experienced players. Only one bathroom in parking lot. No running water.

Other Thoughts:

I would probably rate this course a little higher if it had better information posted at entrance. So I played the Des Moines Open a week after my first review. The old tee pads with no signs can throw you off. There is a couple of holes missing signs. The road does play OB except for when you have to cross it going from a tee pad to a hole. Great disc golf community and club. Probably the most friendly people you could casually meet up and play with. I would highly recommend this course to flickers and leftys.

Yin Yang course, with legit par 4's 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 5, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

(I've only played the Long tees here, so I cannot comment on the Short Tee's, except through observing)
-Beautiful course, that has a yin yang type of layout! Front 9 is technical and wooded, back 9 is open.

-Long and Short Tees. Very nice benches and it appeared that new signs have been installed!

-Course was clean and well maintained.

-Beginner Friendly and challenging to the advanced player

-Throwing on #10 alone is a treat! Spectacular!

-You can use a variety of discs here. On the front 9 you'll definitely want the control of fairway drivers for more accurate lines through the trees. On the back 9 you'll have more open lines to throw down, but you'll still have a few long distance shots that will require you to place a second shot.

-From the long tees, there were legit par 4s (I didn't play the shorts, so I can't say) There are holes where you will have to make two good throw to get in position for an approach

-Figure 8's back to the the parking lot. Allowing for Starts on the Front or Back 9.

Cons:

(Some of these issues may be "In transition", to be addressed in the future. Especially if they are upgrading.)

-Some of the tees appear to have been relocated. #2 comes to mind off the top of my head. I didn't see anything that notated this directing me or the group in front of me, to the new tee location. I seen the new teepad location as I passed it by on the proceeding holes. I would have used a completely different line.

-Extremely busy and popular Disc Golf course and park! Lots of pedestrian (Disc Golfers and Non-Disc Golfers) traffic and I got caught behind a bottle neck of 2 groups. I really ran into a lot of Non-DG pedestrian traffic on the back 9.

-This may be an extension of the previous con, but look at a different side of the same con. You have a course, that requires a lot of long drives and it blends with the above pedestrian traffic. I seen a lot of interactions with people that won't be expecting flying objects to come whizzing by in their general direction. Specifically in the Botanical side of the park. Its one thing to have a course in a unused or under used part of a park, but when it plays through high traffic area, I look at that as playing through a playground. Adding signs to "Watch Out For Flying Discs" would go a long way.

-Navigation, This may be a first timer issue. (There wasn't a map at the start, but it may be in the works) Had I not had two big groups in front of me, It may have been more tumultuous to navigate. However, I just used the map available here on DGCR.

-Even with the groups, I had to walk up the fairways to find the basket. Sometimes even throwing, hoping the basket was in that general vicinity. After having climbed multiple hills to find a basket, I was exhausted.

Other Thoughts:

Ewing is a beautiful park, and I really had a great time here! It's definitely one of the many "Must Play" courses in the Des Moines Area. I had a blast playing here! I only wish I would have picked a better, less busier, time of day. That way I wouldn't have felt rushed, while dealing with "First time issues" (Where's the basket, etc) You will be throwing through some tight fairways and working specific lines on the front 9. The trees are scattered out just right, that you will want to consider your line before you throw. Unplanned shots may result in taco'd discs. The back 9 will really let you let loose with your arm, for all you big D drivers. You will still want to consider your shots. For some require a second shot placement.

It's a popular course, and rightfully so! I wanted to give this a four star course, but I just felt there were certain issues that really affect a players round here. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't play here, by all means, this is a course to hit! It was challenging, well laid out, and fun to play! Just keep a watchful eye when you are on the back 9. Also, if you are doing a Road Trip, (I'd recommend hitting this course early in the day, as well as Grandview. I had to skip Grandview because every hole had a group and there was a line waiting to start) I committed to playing the long tees here, my problem was that I had played Pickard Park longs first, so my energy was spent by the time I got here. Thankfully, there were benches spread out here.

Excellent course, 2 personalities 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Super clear signs
+ Good tee pads
+ Front 9 has this very dense, wooded feel to it and the back 9 is more expansive. Sort of feels like two courses, but not in a bad way - just like a change in personality halfway through.
+ Several long holes, several runnable holes.
+ Elevation used well.

Cons:

- Baskets often tucked away or far enough away that not visible in the least from the tees - makes positioning of drives a bit of a gamble if playing the course the first time (#5 would be a prime example).
- A couple holes had no clear lines or windows - somewhat of a throw and pray feel to them.

Other Thoughts:

Fun course, one I will definitely play again if find myself within 30-45 minutes of it.

Improving 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 13, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Multi pads and pin positions most homes
Portapotty in parking lot.
It's in a super cool Arboretum if you like trees.
Got to love the massive teepads.

Cons:

Unused pads remain in place
No running water.

Other Thoughts:

This park complex has been getting a facelift from the city over the last three years. Some changes to course were necessitated on the due to some trail redesign and some foliage aging out. Some new pads and basket positions got put in.

Not what i expected 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 14, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Multiple tees
Elevation

Cons:

Terrible signage/ lack of pin callouts
Pretty sure basket on 2 is missing
Lack of traah cans/

Other Thoughts:

This really plays as 2 different courses to me, the front and the back. As mentioned several other times here. In my oponion the front is lacking in any defined fairways , seem more like baskets in some sparely wooded area, no real developement or feel of being on a course there, and the back is fairly wide open. With a few gaurdian trees at some of the baskets. Having played pickard the day before i was expecting something close as ratings on here are similar. Just wasnt close in my opinion. This seems like an average 18 holes at best, dont get all the love, but im not local, and spent as much time scouting as playing, ao that may factor in, but all in all not a standout imo.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Like a lot of Des Moines courses, it is long. I like throwing drivers off the tee and I did so on every hole except one. Deuces are hard to come by and feel earned.
2) Two sets of tees, so the course can be played by players with wildly varying levels of skill.
3) The course seldom takes away your best shot. There are, of course, holes that go left to right and holes that go right to left, but the turns weren't so extreme to force me away from my backhand.
4) clean and well-maintained (really important in Iowa!)
5) It is an unusually long and challenging course to be right smack in the middle of the city.

I'm guessing that if I lived in Des Moines, this would be the main course that I would play; it is conveniently located,it gives the arm a workout, and you don't have to worry about losing discs.

Cons:

1)Lack of a map: Each tee sign shows the location of the next tee, but forget to look and you will often times have a hard time figuring out which direction to go. While navigation isn't bad, there are a couple places where it is not intuitive.
2)Inaccurate tee signs: this drove me nuts. I'm guessing some alternate pin placements were put in after the signs were installed, but it makes things exceptionally confusing on blind holes. Several times I thought I had made a great shot only to find that the basket was either in the other direction or further away than the sign indicated. A course map would fix all of this.
3)No memorable holes. Lots of decent ones, but none that I feel the overwhelming urge to play again. The front nine in particular was not very distinctive.

Other Thoughts:

Definitely worth playing, but 4 stars is a bit much in my opinion. It felt like a typical city course with a little extra length and difficulty. I feel that it is the weakest of the 4-star rated DSM area courses (with Pickard clearly the best)

And I can't stress this enough: it would be exceptionally helpful to put in a course map with accurate distances and pin placements!

Pros:

Challenging shots.
First 9 holes are through thin, wooded areas that are really fun to play.
Course has both open and wooded holes for any type of player.
Groomed well

Cons:

Not the courses fault, but the mosquitoes are terrible!
Some holes were muddy which was a little annoying, but was expected because of lots of rain

Other Thoughts:

I will continue to play this course for years to come! Very fun course and takes long enough to play where you can really enjoy the sport.

Different Not Always Better?!?!? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good variety of shots in approach, distance, and elevation.

Cons:

This used to be my favorite course in Des Moines, but I hate the changes to #2 and #3.

Pars need to be noted!

There needs to be something to direct you to the next pad...just played in Wisconsin and the course spray painted the chain to let you know which way to walk...that would help.

It would also be nice if there was a way to mark basket position on blind tee shot holes.

Crowded more times than not, but that's what you get at a decent course.

Other Thoughts:

Still worth playing but could be SSSOOO much better with some simple changes. Looks like they are working on it, so maybe it will get to where it needs to be.

Fun variety 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 16, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course has two different personalities for each loop of 9 holes. The front 9 plays through rolling elevation with mature trees and scattered brush. Many of the holes have some elevation, nothing drastic but enough to add some challenge and variety. You'll have to hit a variety of lines to score well on this part of the course, and there are enough trees and brush to punish errant shots.

The back 9 plays in a more open area with a little bigger elevation changes. Hole 10 is a fun empty your bag shot down a large hill, and a few other holes have enough elevation to really change how the hole plays. This part of the course is more about distance and shot placement, with less technical and much longer holes.

There is a lot of variety here, and that's enhanced by dual concrete tees each with their own signage. The long and short tees make a big difference on some of the holes, changing the line and sometimes adding an extra turn or pinch point. There are 3 pin positions per hole, all notated on the signs at both tees, adding to the variety of shots here.

Cons:

With no marker on the signs for which pin positions are currently in use, there is some scouting and guessing necessary to know where to shoot. On the blind holes, even locals would have to check it out the first time through to know which placement the pin was in. There are a couple awkward transitions between holes, the worst one is from 17 to 18 with a really long walk that's not marked at all and 18's tee is tucked behind brush so it's not easy to spot from a distance.

The back 9 is pretty open for my tastes, it doesn't really force a lot of interesting line shaping. The big hill is cool on 10, but it seemed like more could have been done with that elevation on the back 9. A major road is in play on a couple holes, taking away from the seclusion of the course and adding a potential safety issue.

Other Thoughts:

Beginners will find the course a little long, but very approachable from the short tees. There is some rough but not enough to lose discs in and generally not of the frustrating sort. More experienced players will find some nice challenges along with some easy birdies, the longer open holes at the end are a fun chance to open up and rip some big drives.

Nice course, On a very nice day! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 3, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

this course is pretty well thought out. I loved 10, u can let some discs really fly! good baskets and forgiving chains. decent technical holes in the front nine. pretty well maintained.

Cons:

on one of the first few holes you have to be careful of overthrows near the basket as there is a major road about 20 feet behind it. you easily walk the length of another nice hole when trying to find hole 18 from hole 17. why not expand both and tighten that up?

Other Thoughts:

This is a good course to play when you want variety in the DSM area. this and Grandview make for an excellent day of Frolfing!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

There were tee signs that helped you find the basket and the next hole's tee pad. Large variety of shots. The front nine is heavily wooded with some really cool tunnel shots. Then the back nine is totally different and open and the last two holes were both 650+ feet. A lot of the holes used the trees really well and has very cool layouts like a tunnel across a street into a backboard of trees for the whole.

Cons:

Not too many. We had trouble finding one or two of the wholes even with the tee signs because there were some many trees. The front nine could get really frustrating with all the trees.

Great Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 27, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Challenge - Ewing offers a great challenge to both the experienced and new golfer. The long tees are very long and force you to navigate through trees, wide open space, small gaps, and over shrubbery/bushes.

Tees/Signs - There are two concrete tees per hole with a tee sign at each. The signs are in great shape and do a good job of displaying the hole info. Many tee boxes have retaining walls around them along with mulch to help with erosion issues.

Design - The course is very large and uses a large section of the park. There is a good amount of elevation as well as some moderately wooded areas. The design flows very well and takes advantage of the landscape.

Location - Ewing is located in Des Moines and is close to food, beverages, hotels, etc. It is easy to find off the interstate and has a good overall location.

Cons:

Restrooms - limited restroom facilities in this section of the park

Other Thoughts:

Overall I thought that Ewing is a fantastic course that provides a great challenge. The long tees are very tough but are fun to play. The shorts offer a relaxing round. I would highly recommend Ewing park for a fun round of golf!

Well above average 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 1, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is pro caliber. There are more than a couple holes that stretched out 600'-700'. The course also provides a good variety of holes. There are A and B pads for every hole, so you can go through and play two different games (although the B pads were consistently longer). The course is half wooded, half open. There are a number of uphill, over the hill, and downhill bombs. There are some short (<280') tight shots.

Cons:

This course only lacks water as far as amenities. Unfortunately this course is very well known, so it was packed when I went (April 1st). This is one of the more exhausting courses to complete. It's very long and very hilly. #18 was hard to find. It's a long walk from #17, toward hole #1, past the long, uniform row of bushes. The bushes were flowering purple. We just allowed the locals behind us to play through, and we followed them to the #18 teepad.

Other Thoughts:

The best elevation change I've ever seen in a course

From the Dark to the Light 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Front and Back 9: I really enjoyed that the front and back have different personalities. The front plays through a large grove of mature trees. The holes were not that long, but trees provide ample protection for most baskets. The back 9 is longer and more open. There are not as many trees, but the challenge lies in distance. In short, on the front the course tests your ability to hit your lines. The back tests your ability crush your drives. Also, the design loops back to the parking lot after hole #9, so you can use the port-a-pottie or reload on snacks and water if you brought extras.

Maintenance: The back 9 was well maniucured. I think it is safe to assume that it is mowed frequently. Areas on the back 9 where trees were in play (#15 and #16) were well cleared out underneath, making it easy to locate discs. The front-9 probably doesn't require as much effort as grass doesn't grow as quickly under the canopy.

Elevation: As I am writing my reviews of these courses, I have come to a major conclusion. Designers in central Iowa really know how to use what little elevation they are provided. Ewing Park is no different. There may only be moderate elevation changes on most holes, but the course uses it effectively.

Cons:

Flow: The walk between #17 and #18 is really strange. If you don't know which way to go, you could get lost because after #17 you are a long way from the parking lot...and a long way from #18. I remember walking through the area and thinking 'this would have been a great place for a couple of holes. I don't know if the arboretum is a "no disc" zone, but this area would have been in my design if possible.

Boring for advanced players: While I am your general intermediate, moderately-skilled disc golfer, I found this course enjoyable. An advanced player would be bored here. A professional is likely to shoot -15 or better. Hole #10 is a long hole, but it is downhill and open...not really challenging. #18 is a long hole as well, but the fairway is massive and there is little trouble on each side. While the course is cool for me, I understand that most on this site are better players than me. They would likely find this course to be nice but lacking challenge.

Bactracking #11: After playing Hole #11, you have to backtrack the entire fairway to get to number #12 which tees off from almost the same spot, but in the opposite direction. Very strange.

Other Thoughts:

Ewing Park is a very good course for an intermediate player like myself. There are enough challenges in the way of length and mature trees to prevent me from shooting incredibly low. However, I could see myself going -6 or better on this course in a best-case scenario. This is what leads me to believe that the challenge may not be great for advanced players...because I'm simply not good enough to shoot this score on a truly challenging course.

The front 9 is played under a canopy of mature trees. Even at 4:00 in the afternoon, it was fairly dark in the shade and protected us well from the heat. These holes were fairly short and many birdies could be had on the front. The back 9 is mostly open and out from the canopy. Hole #10 opens the back with a long downhill "bomber" hole. There is more length on the back, but it offers much less trouble in the form of trees. In short, both halves use different challenges, but neither really utilizes both at the same time.

This park looks to be almost totally set aside for disc golf other than the arboretum. Therefore there are very few non-DG park users.

Don't get into your drive too much on hole #1 or you will be in the road. (a busy road at that) I found out the hard way as did another of our crew. At least no cars were hit. That would have been awkward.

If you are in Des Moines, definitely check out Ewing Park. In most places, disc golf is an afterthought and that is if people have even heard of it. The Des Moines visitor's guide listed disc golf as one of its fun, recreational activities in the brochure. I thought that was interesting and unique.

One of the better ones in the area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 18, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained, good tee pads and baskets, beautiful scenery and views, decent mix of shot types, very challenging

Cons:

Some baskets are hard or impossible to see from the tee pad, some of the signs can be deceiving and b/c they do move the baskets around you can't just "memorize" the course, some shots are little too long for my taste but maybe my drive is just weak

Other Thoughts:

A nice challenge, I've never shot even or under here. Even from short tees I still clock in a +5-7, I realize that is relative but you can play this course 100 times and not completely master it, great course for experienced players looking for a challenge,
