Plan to thread the needle 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 1, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Every hole is a challenge with all the dense vegetation.
If you like courses that are part of nature, the outdoors, and flora, then you will love this course. It is shaded by a dense canopy of trees and abnormally large leaves on native species of trees and understory plants.
The course runs next to a nice concrete trail that you occasional will use to get to the next tee with nice river views.
Easy parking.
Not crowded; felt secluded but not far away from civilization.

Cons:

Almost too tight on the fairways. If a third of the fairways were really tight, that would be good, but nearly every hole is tight.
The trees in the way can get a little excessive especially when placed in front of several of the holes. It can be fun, but frustrating to not be able to have many throws where you can try to sink a long bomb.
We played a day after a flood. A couple of the fairways were a little muddy, but we could walk around a lot of the puddles.

Other Thoughts:

This is a must play course. It's not perfect, but it is one of the best in the state and a great change of pace if you've been playing lots of wide open courses. Consider wearing pants and bringing a couple sacrificial discs unless you are a pro. We thought bugs would be a problem, but they weren't and we also applied some deet ahead of time.

A pleasant surprise 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Heavily wooded, but there was always a clearly defined and mowed fairway
- Right next to the river
- A good mixture of holes that go to the left, to the right, and straight ahead
- There is a big map of the course next to hole 1
- Mostly flat, but the slight bits of elevation change are used well
- There are some par 4's mixed in around the course
- Concrete tees on every hole
- Baskets are all in good condition
- Tee signs with maps on every hole
- Easy to play only 9 holes if you don't have time to play the whole 19 holes
- Multiple basket positions on every hole
- Nice big parking lot
- In an area of the park without a lot of non-disc golfer foot traffic

Cons:

- Tee signs have nothing to mark which position the basket is in
- Distances seem a little longer than the signs make them out to be
- Areas off of the fairway are not mowed, though the upside of this is the wildflowers blooming around the course in the tall weeds when I was there.
- Some holes are blind and will require someone to walk up the hole to find the basket
- On hole 16 there is a basket that is visible, but it is not the one you are shooting for, you want the one off to the right hand side
- Not a lot of elevation change around the course, but I didn't expect much considering it's in Nebraska
- A couple of runners near the river holes

Other Thoughts:

River Run DGC in Norfolk, NE was a wonderful surprise when I found it, as it had no reviews at the time. There was a great mixture of different holes ranging from short and straight ahead, to long turnover holes that required good shot placement to play well. It plays through a park along the river, providing a few nice backdrops while you are throwing. The first handful of holes around the course turn mostly to the left, making me think that it was going to be a heavily RHBH favorable course. But as the course went on the holes became more balanced with quite a few turning over to the right. The tee signs were yellow posts in the ground with the hole # on the sides, and a map on the front. The unfortunate thing about these signs is they have no marker on them to show which position the basket is in. On some holes this can cause some problems as both positions are not visible from the tee, and are in almost opposite directions, causing you to have to walk most of the hole to find which position you are shooting at. This course is not a good place to bring beginners, as they will probably be overwhelmed. Advanced players though, will have a good time, as long as they enjoy wooded courses.

Technical at it's best 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 12, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to get to, can park right at hole 1 and go. This course has shots for backhanders and forehanders alike (I'm the latter). Holes range from short length with small windows to medium length and wider windows. This is a technical course so do not expect to throw many if any bombs. Course is heavily wooded and the nearby river add to some scenery.

Cons:

WIth many wooded courses there is going to be some maintenance issues. There was a fair amount of trash and of course no trash cans. It would be nice to see some of the fallen brush removed as it just adds more difficulty to an already tough course.

Other Thoughts:

I struggled early on in this course as it was my first time, but midway through the first 9 I was starting to get the hang of it. Some shots are really just blind luck unless you have really honed your accuracy. I would play again just to get more experience with technical courses.
