Pros:
Keep in mind that when you come to the park , wrap around it , keeping it to your right . You will eventually see a large gravel lot with a kiosk with a map . Take a picture of it . It seems as if some locals are trying to keep the course improving .
The Equipment - The tee pads ( 2 for some holes ) are natural . There is a kiosk at the spacious parking lot . Make sure that you take a picture of it on your phone . You will need it . The baskets are Mach 10 , and there are 2 baskets at most holes . A couple of wood benches are present here . The signage is lacking , mostly cardboard with distance and Hole number . There were no bathrooms present or open while I was there
The Landscape - Even though the course sits in the middle of ball fields and tennis courts , there is some surprising elevation here . I think the holes 3 and 4 were the only flat holes .The only water that I spotted was some water to the right of basket #3 , hidden in the trees and brush . Don't risk your disk by throwing wide right to left . The grass was a little high in some spots , but they had a lot of rain in the previous week . The holes play mostly in , out and around the many fields that occupy the park .
The Highlights . Not a lot here to qualify as a highlight .Hole 1 was a decent starter hole , going 365' over or around a decent sized hill .
Signature Hole - Mine was the par 5 7th hole . Starting on a slightly elevated tee in the upper corner of the park . you thro down to level ground , the shooting upward to the basket sitting on the top and side of a large hill ( 850' ) .
The Time - It took me about 40 minutes to play here , but some of that time was looking for the next tee pads . It should take a foursome maybe 45 minutes to play here ( solo 30 minutes or so for the locals ) .
Cons:
The Equipment - I liked the 2 basket setup , reminding me of some Florida course , but the natural dirt pads will be hard to play from after rains . The signs need to be batter , along with some Next Tee signs to keep players on course .
Course Flow - This course is everywhere . You have to cross fairways ( 5-6 ) and it would be easy to walk around aimlessly if you didn't have a phone to take a pic of the kiosk ( why no online map ? ) .
Danger - The park was windy the day I played here . Discs can easily be deposited in the fencing of the fields . Kids playing around the course could be accidental obstacles .
Other Thoughts:
I have to give credit to the local club or park district for making an attempt at not only securing this 9 hole course , but trying to expand it to an eventual 18 holes . Judging from the tee pads and overall appearance , I don't think that this course gets much play yet .
My Recommendation -- Not a course to go far out of your way for . Good for locals to learn on with some okay distance at over 3000 total feet . This might be a course to get a good leg stretch on after visiting Vicksburg Military Park just up the road . It's up to you .
