Pros:

Fayette City Park DGC wraps around the whole park,starting and ending on the southeast side between the 2 ponds. The course is free to play and probably rarely, if ever, busy. You should have the whole place to yourself, which is nice if you want to unload your bag or just do field work.

The baskets are Gateway Titans, which I've only ever played on once before about 3 days ago. I am in Gateway country so it makes sense I guess. There's one pin position per hole. These baskets catch pretty well, not great, but pretty OK. They have next tee signs hanging from the bottom of the cages which is nice. There's also a PVC pipe on the top of each with both the front and back nine hole number on them. These help you to spot the baskets too, so dual purpose for these. 9 total baskets here.

There are 2 concrete tee pads for each basket placement, making it play as 18 holes. The tees are a little on the small size but are all you really need for the lengths on this course. All are level and plenty grippy. No complaints.

The tee signs are the same as the nearby Kuemmel park, just on a bigger frame. Basic info. Hole number, par and distance. Pretty straightforward but adequate.

The course wraps around the whole park and features undulating terrain throughout. Every hole at least moderate elevation change, some are quite the change which adds to the challenge. Lots of mature trees force you to hit a line on many holes. There's not a ton of them but the tees are strategically placed to incorporate them.

There's a big kiosk board by hole 1. It didn't have anything on it, but it's there if needed. Restrooms and drinking water near holes 4/13 and 6/15 respectively.

Mandos in place on a few holes to keep you from throwing over park roads or areas where other park users may be. This makes you have to take the tight line though, instead of just throwing the big hyzer around everything. The mando on holes 1 and 10 force you closer to the pond, so accuracy becomes much more important. Nice little double mando on hole 9 too.

Cons:

The 2 tee pads per basket concept is a good one IMO, especially with limited space. I'd be glad to have this on my course. But the tees aren't too different from each other on most holes. I just wish they were a little further away to drastically change the hole. Oh well, better than a nine I guess.

Not much variety in distances. The longest holes are only about 350'. Most are under or around 200'.

A little bit hard to find a couple of the tees on the back nine holes. The next tee sign points you toward the next tee for the front nine only. I mean, it's not that hard to find but a couple were. 11 and 18 I guess are the 2 I mean.

Other Thoughts:

By no means is this anything to go out of your way to play, but if you're in the area for any reason it is a fun little course. Kind of your typical city park course. The definition of typical. But with the lack of too many other courses that close, it's a nice little place for locals. Good course for kids or beginners too. I enjoyed my round here, a change of pace from a lot of the much more challenging courses in the vicinity.
