New Pioneer Ridge Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 29, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

* Score card with map and course rules at Main building near hole one.
* great use of area land scape( Course uses elavation, Trees, water and OB wild flower gardens to chalange players)
* Bathrooms and water available at the main bilding (flush toilets and drinking fountin) when open and between hole 8 and 7 (PortaPody and out door fountin at barn)
* Risk/Reward shots on 2 with Pond on right and OB parking lot on left, Hole 8 if you choose to shoot acrose the pond.
* Watre comes in to play on 4 holes (1 if you miss badly to the right, hole two with the water being just to the right and down hill from the basket, Hole 8 if you throw across the pond or if you go around the basket sits right by the edge of the pond and on hole 9 if you miss to the right.
*Hole 8 is 700+ feet with a pound to cross(Longer if you choose to go around)
*Course has a nice flow and ends right by the parking lot.
*All Tees have signs with distance and pars marked.and a note atavhed to post telling what is OB.
*this course will chalange all levals of players (It will force you to use all the shots in your bag)
*DNR officals turn lost discs they find in at Main building and call if Inked
*Renters have the option to use a loner bag of discs when they rent a cabin (Great way to promote sport)

Cons:

* No sighn at parking lot to tell you where to get score card or where course starts.
* Grass tee's (Can be slipery when wet.)
* course can be a little tough on new players.
* Easy to loose discs in tall grass and ponds.
* Only 10 holes and a lot of room to add more holes( I was told that there are plans to add more holes and use more of the Nature Area with more water shots)

Other Thoughts:

Great course I am begining to realy like it.This course is the 4th in the Ottumwa area and my second favorite (Wildwood Park my #1) and probly the third most challangeing course in the area (Memorial and Indian Hills are more challanging) This could easly be come the best course in the area with the added 8 holes. This course only adds to the other great courses to make for a great full day of disc golf.
