Pros:

A gem. Elevation, water, views, cut grass, quality baskets, large concrete tees, and signature holes.

Cons:

May not be for novice players because of the water holes. Campers may camp on fairways.

Other Thoughts:

I've played over 400 courses and this is the only one i've taken the time to review if that tells you anything. My love of the aesthetic may of jaded my view of this course, hence the rewrite, but I'm sure most will still find this course worthy.

One of the best courses in Indiana! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 22, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- amazing use of the land and lake
- beauty, feels like you are playing at a nicely groomed ball golf course
- challenging, but not frustrating
- gateway titan baskets are very nice, first time playing on those
- well thought out pin placements, it's like they put those out there first and then worked backwards....pins on ridges, pins on peninsulas, nicely guarded pins by mature trees...FANTASTIC!

Cons:

- some flow issues with walking from hole to hole and a couple close baskets/teepads but not too bad. I'd always sacrifice some walking/flow for some great holes and there are a ton of great holes at this course.

Other Thoughts:

LOVED it. Played a morning round and shot 60. Grabbed lunch and came back hoping to shoot a few throws better my second time and shot a 48. Great placement shot golf on the Par 4s. This course is only a little over an hour from my hometown of Bloomington and will be even closer when I-69 is completed. Will be going back A LOT.

Pros:

Championship level course. Can bring the best of players back to the field with one bad hole. Good mix of long, water lined holes and easier birdie opportunities.

Cons:

I don't mind the curious people but I did mind the people in the shelter houses not caring about what was going on and playing in the fairways and looking at you like you stupid for warning them that you are about to throw a heavy projectile at them as hard as you can.

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the best courses in the state hands down.

Pros:

+Long, smooth, flat concrete tee pads on every hole.
+Gateway Titan 24 baskets.
+Very descriptive and informative tee signs.
+Very nice information sign at beginning of course.
+Very clean park. The parks department takes excellent care of this park. Honestly, this is probably one of the cleanest and best well manicured park I have ever played.
+Shot variety. The layout is very well balanced with left to right, right to left, straight shots, short ace runs and long bomber holes.
+Fun factor vs. challenge. I liken this course to Madisonville. It utilizes very similar land, similar length, and similar scoring. Prides Creek is better (in my opinion) because of the fun factor. By throwing in some clever ace runs, this course can still be fun when the accurate distance game is off.
+Basket locations. This course is loaded with both breathtaking and butt-puckering basket locations.

Cons:

-There are a few more mandos than I'd like to see, but they make sense.
-Water. On twelve holes, water comes into play, including four (five if you count hole 4) holes that require players to throw across water. Smaller arms will definitely want to consider playing the short tees on 8 &9.
-Pedestrians. Since it is a multi-use park, there are likely to be users who are not disc golfers. (In my round though, I had three people approach me inquiring about the game. No one was a butthole at all.)

Other Thoughts:

Quite simply, this course is a must play, awesome course. As it gets played a little bit more and starts to wear in, it's going to prove to be one of the best around. Dane and Nick really outdid themselves this time.
Hole 1 is an exceptional starting hole. A sweeping par 4 that ends with a breathtaking basket located on a small peninsula into beautiful Prides Creek.
Hole 4 is a par 4 that gives players the option of playing around or playing across a small bay, with placement being crucial on either route.
Hole 8 is a long par 4 that starts with a 275' throw across water followed by a trip down a well manicured fairway.
