A Must Do 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Good mix of shots. Up hill, down hill, water, lots of trees to challenge you
-NIce baskets
-Good signage
-Never crowded. I have never seen anyone else on course

Cons:

-Holes 1-3 overgrown
-Small T-pads, 6' rubber pad

Other Thoughts:

Best course on highway 20 as you drive thru Nebraska. I stop and play around every year on vacation. Challenging course. The walking bridge over the creek was closed so we hiked in from the trail by #12 T-pad down the back side of the creek to #1. In my opinion a must do course. Very fun

Good when maintained 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 24, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

When this course is kept up, it's a hidden gem. Though it's short, there's a wide variety of terrain and shots. Uphill, downhill. Hyzer, anhyzer. Trees, water. Clear, tight. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to play a different course far off the beaten path.

Cons:

Not always maintained well. The first time I played last summer, the course was very overgrown, and we all were covered in burrs by Hole 6. Even when it's mowed, you're likely to have to chase at least one errant disc into tall grass.

Other Thoughts:

Not a lot of distance, but it's not as easy as you'd think for 12 holes at par-36. I'd recommend it, though you'd better hope it's been mowed recently.

Better Than Expected 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 8, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Lots of elevation. Hole 6 was a fun down hill, 7 a fun valley and 8 was slight uphill followed by a huge downhill. Spotters wouldn't be a bad idea on some of these.
-Some water play, hole 10 shoots towards the creek, 11 along the creek and 12 over the creek.
-Lots of wooded holes. 1-4 are all pretty wooded and all holes have some trees to add challenge.
-Overall the design was great. A great mix of holes of all kinds.
-Multiple pin locations. Not sure how often they are moved but they are there.
-They had a nice little kiosk at the start which included color maps and scorecards on high quality paper. The maps will come in handy later so grab one.
-This course had some hiking and longer walks involved. Often this will be a con but they were enjoyable to me at this course.
-I liked the atmosphere of the park with the bridges, trees, and creek.
-This course has the ability to challenge good players and still be fun for beginners. I think that is important for courses in smaller towns.

Cons:

-Lots of ivy, nettle, etc. That is one of my biggest cons of disc golf even though it is one of the hardest to control. It ruins my round even if the course is awesome. It wasn't unbearable here but was present and I think that's important.
-They can't really mow most of the course so the grasses could get a little high in places.
-It can be kind of hard to follow here and there. I don't think this course is played too often so there aren't defined paths worn into the grass. Again, grab the map at the start.
- You could lose a disc in the grass here. I found one and left it in the 4th basket because my phone was dead and I didn't have time to locate an owner.

Other Thoughts:

When I read the only review here, I assumed it was a local who hasn't played a ton of courses and it was a bit high. I was wrong! This course is pretty legit.

If this course was played a little more making navigation easier and if there were less bad weeds on the course I would have given it a 4 for sure. This is on one of my routes back to my inlaws so I will probably stop again. It was enjoyable to me and I highly recommend stopping if you ever find yourself in Valentine. This is a gem amongst the sandhills of north central Nebraska.
