Other Thoughts:
Maxwell City Park DGC is a nice course. At 12 holes, makes it a little longer than most city park courses. It mainly stays away from other park activities. Holes #1, #11 and #12 play around a baseball field, a wayward shot could end up in that field. Hole #6 plays right through a small playground. Replacing the missing signs, and possibly re-routing hole #6 would give this a better look. A couple more benches and trashcans wouldn't hurt either. Overall, I have enjoyed my round here and would play again.

Pros:
- Baskets are pretty stinkin' nice.
- Hole designs are passable and utilize trees as obstacles with some degree of success
- The little trickle of a creek spices up a few of the holes, but just a little
- Layout is ok, not too many long walks to the next tee
- The course is in a park so it's mowed and picked up
- Most beginners and casual players will find paring these holes accessible if not a little testing, even with a limited skill set

Cons:
A short list of things that could made this course play better would include:
- Tee signs
- A course map
- This place is flat!
- This course is a bit on the short side
- The little creek running through the park is small, pointless and seems to have muddied up some of the holes
- there's a garbage can by hole 9
- The last few holes skirt a ball field and would probably toe the line of what is safe to play when pedestrians abound

Other Thoughts:
I wasn't holding out much hope for this course but was pleasantly surprised with a really enjoyable round on a nice fall day.
The park wasn't busy so I didn't have to worry about pegging any park goers, but it's easy to see how that could be a problem if there was a lot of activity going on.
The shot selection isn't the best, the hole variety isn't the best and it's a bit on the short side as far as distance is concerned. It's not 18 holes but it's more than 9...
For me this park is right in the middle; not really stepping out but certainly not the worst.
Adding signs and a course map will be the first step in bringing this course up to the next level.
