Quiet, little course tucked along a river. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 25, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful location. There is a near by playground and swimming pool.

Cons:

Could use some upkeep. Tee #4 missing. Sewer manhole at tee #8. (Was really pungent the day we played). Lacks garbage cans.

Other Thoughts:

Would play here again.

Good Beginner Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 25, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Short Course with nice baskets. You are able to play it in a very short amount of time. This course is easy to find and a great beginner course.

Cons:

This course is really pretty short and open. There a only a couple of challenging holes. There are a few holes that have 90 degree doglegs, which is just poor design. I am not sure of the upkeep as hole 1 has a missing tee sign and the basket had been bent.

Other Thoughts:

This makes a good beginner course. It is always nice for a small town to have a local course. This course will help local players sharpen up on their short game. There are also a few sharp turns, which can help players practice some big turns. No opportunity for a big arm.

Good beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 14, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a great spot for a disc golf course. A very picturesque setting around a small river and it's surrounding bluff. Every hole is well marked with tee signs with distances, and the score card has a great routing picture on the back.

While there aren't that many different shots required, there are some interesting shots, like the steep downhill #2, the quick dogleg left #7, and the very tight and straight #8. I was surprised to find such well designed holes at a beginner course. While the other holes are pretty much straight moderate shots, these few holes really help the courses playability.

This is exactly what is needed for a beginner type course. There is just enough difficultly to push new players to help there technique while still remaining generally easy.

Cons:

The routing of this course is going to be a problem. Hole 5 and 6 cross and the hyzer shot on 9 goes directly over the #6 tee box. It also has my biggest pet peeve of any course, number 9 basket is nowhere near the beginning of the course. It leaves you with quite a hike back up the bluff to get back to the first hole.

The course could really use some cement pads, because of it's location near the river the course gets very soggy in rain. Of course, it was raining all week before I played, so I can't say what just one day will do.

I don't know what happened to #2 basket, but for some reason the metal cage was mounted too high, leaving only about 1 foot of space to putt into... I'm hoping it was just a temporary problem.

Other Thoughts:

As I said before this a good beginner's course. I hope that they look into fixing some of the layout problems in order to keep from throwing across other holes (It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult because all of the holes affected are in a very open section.) I would like to see some more of the bluff used, but I can't say whether it would be possible or not.

While I was visiting, they held a beginner's clinic which had nearly 40 people in attendance. Sounds like those involved with the course are really putting forth a good deal of effort to promote the sport, which is something I really appreciate.
