Pros:
-Baskets OK
Cons:
-Convoluted map to make 4 baskets into 9 holes
-Unless you've played multiple times, you WILL need the map
-All lines play across sidewalks on campus, hazards abound
-#6 tees off across a busy road
-#7, #8 and #9 have buildings to work around
-No tees, just a spot on the map to throw from

Other Thoughts:
Note: Just announced in late March of 2023, the Spring 2023 semester is the last one at the school, will close and revert to the US Department of Agriculture. Would open up playing, if the baskets remain.
I'm all for baskets just about anywhere.....but.... The Iowa Wesleyan College (University) in Mt. Pleasant, IA has 4 baskets. Someone thought it would be a good idea to put 4 baskets in the greenspace in the center of this very small campus. Then, after what I'm assuming was a good night of imbibing, someone came up with 9 holes out of 4 baskets. You need a cartography degree to read the map and understand it. While the "roads that surround the quad area play out of bounds", #6 tees from outside this area and over a busy street. The last 3 holes play close enough to have buildings in play, with #9 needing a pretty good left fade to work around the building. There are 3 other courses to play in this town of less than 10K people. Go play the other courses. If somehow the baskets remain after the school closes, I'd STILL not play this course. Please donate these baskets to another use. Not even worth the bag if you're in town.

Played on:Sep 13, 2013
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
- Just 4 baskets, placed on the central lawn, but actually placed in 'usable' places.Can create quite a few fun shots for yourself with where they've placed them. I found 9-10 feasible lanes for fun holes.
- I played through at night, which is entirely feasible, since campus is well-lit. Actually had a blast creating shots. Could see students or intramurals playing rounds in the evenings, when foot traffic is sparse.
- Would be fantastic for HORSE.

Cons:
- Not really a 'course.'
- No tees, obviously.
- Must throw across common walkway areas, sometimes near roads. Could throw across roads when traffic is slow, but that gets dicey. I did not.
- No suggested course map or anything, which I'm sure is out there, or will be shortly. I'm sure the students have some standard, designated tee areas.

Other Thoughts:
Not worth a stop unless you're just itching to see it. The campus IS very pretty, and you will see pretty much all of it. I have family that lives a couple blocks away, so I can see myself walking over to play when I'm wanting a break or to get out and do something. Probably a great study break for the students.
