Iwen South is an OK course, with nine holes. Plenty of trees on mostly flat ground. There are concrete tees and good baskets. The tees have numbered posts, and are roomy.

There are a couple of easier holes, some are medium difficulty, and some really tough throws with length. It is moderate to heavily wooded. All holes are par 3, and this course is far more friendly to new players than the North course, but still has some teeth. Hole 1 was maybe the easiest hole, and my only birdie on either course. It was a long day.

The layout is choppy. Hole 1 and 2 are on one side of the parking lot. Holes 3-7 overlap with parts of the North course on the other side of the parking lot. 8 and 9 take you across the lot once again. A map will probably come in handy, and you could still have trouble making out transitions between some holes.

While sharing space with the North course, it lacks many of the elements that make the North side more challenging and fun. Holes are too close to each other in spots, cramped together and forcing in an extra nine.

If you are traveling to play Iwen, go ahead and play the quick 9 if you want. If I lived in Fargo I doubt I would do the South end very often.

I would agree with other reviewers that combining the two courses into one would be an improvement. It may not be perfect, but all together very much worth a visit.

After reading a few review I'm guessing a lot of work was done before i got to play this course. I loved it! It was a technical challenge. Lots of trees and decent length of holes forced some very difficult shots through tight (almost mean) holes. When i played it had been cleaned up after the flooding. The tee pads and baskets were great. There are maps available online for both long and short courses, and everything is marked well with great hole marker posts. I saw the tee pads for the new holes were in already, but the baskets weren't yet. Can't wait to come back and play the new holes! Course looks great keep up the good work!

-Almost impossible to find parking because of all the trucks and boat trailers. There will almost certainly be cars parked right behind the basket for hole #2. (that's where I had to park and I almost hit my own car )
-Flooding. first time i came to play it was under water.

I'm not sure about hole #9 which shoots up from under/along side a bridge out along a busy road with no way of seeing if cars are coming. fun hole but the potential for trouble is there...
I would say this is aimed at Intermediate and up, but saw some beginners enjoying the course as well.
If you like technical courses, this is the best in the Fargo area.

I like the course layout.

Most of the Tees boxes are still cover in dirt and mud, from the flooding. Baskets # 4 is being used on hole # 3. Hole # 4, is dirt and mud up to the bottom side of the basket and cover up by weeds. Hole # 1 is missing it sign. No restrooms.

I walk the course for about 15 to 20 minutes, looking for Tee boxes and baskets. The course need cleaning up, and would be an excellent course. I would love to play this course after it have been repaired.

This course is nice because it is short enough that having a big arm doesn't really matter. On the whole course, there is maybe 1 hole where the layout permits you going right at the hole. Water comes into play on a few holes. Hole number 4 is about 10 feet away from the Red River.

This course will flood pretty badly any time the red-river floods, which happens rather frequently. Also, holes are not that clearly marked, so it takes one or two rounds to get into the swing of things.

Not a fun place to play when it's windy as the wind most commonly blows your disc towards the water. Hole 4 is very tough if you care about your discs and it's windy.
