Needs to be Finished 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-The land was used very well and makes for a fairly fun round. It incorporates a little elevation, some trees and even some water.
-Water shots are approachable and everyone can throw over them. They do still get into your head a little bit and make the round more fun.
-Tees are marked as red and blue. Not a lot of difference between the two but it is something.
-The trees are large and it is a fairly scenic for a small farming town.
-Some ace runs and some longer open holes. A solid variation. It doesn't favor one throwing method or the other.
-The park is well maintained. No garbage around and I don't think that maintenance issues will occur unless they never get tees then the temp tees could get vandalized quickly.
-Nice baskets.

Cons:

-No signage. You can see more than one basket on a few tees.
-No tees, they are marked by very temporary wooden posts which have been moved around by people already.
-Layout is ok. You have to walk backwards awhile to get from the tee to basket on 8. Some of the tee markers are hard to see because they are so small. I also missed hole 3 at first and then the hole 9-10 transition was awkward.
-The course is put into little pieces of the course that are already used by walking paths or are too close to parking lots or the road. If they wanted the course there, it had to be this way.

Other Thoughts:

-This is a great small town course. They did very well with what they had to work with.
-If they added tees and signage, I would bump my rating up.
-I would stop here if I was in the area again. I probably wouldn't seek out this course but if I was a local or driving by, I would definitely play again.

Small town course with potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 10, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

This small city course utilizes the available mowed park land very well. There are water hazards, long bombs, and shorter technical holes with mature trees. Long and short tees are available to throw from to accommodate all skill levels. As this course is basically brand new, tees were only marked with wooden stakes. The course is very easy to navigate as it is and will only be easier in the future with signage and proper tee pads.
Hole two will be a challenging three from the long tee as there is a narrow fairway with water on the right and an OB road and trees lining the left.
To sum it up, water hazards, mature trees, and a little length!

Cons:

Most of the holes are fairly open. No proper signage or tee pads yet (this will be addressed if it hasn't already). Mostly flat terrain as it sits on parkland next to a stream and lake.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great small town course for travelers passing through the area and for the local residents that may know little about disc golf.
This new course will only get better over time. I would recommend playing this course if traveling through the area!
