Underrated.
Pros: Good distance shots, quite a few holes have you keeping low to avoid nailing trees. Really great course to just walk through and play with friends. More of a "hangout" course than a challenge course. One of the few courses in the area where the pad actually points in the direction of the pin. The pins are also highly visible.
Cons: Roads cut across about 3 holes, but can easlily be thrown over unless your disc goes rogue. Course muddy when wet. Pins could use some replacement as some are varying heights and some have angles.
Other Thoughts: There is a decent challenge here, and I think this course is a little misrepresented. I have only smelled anything on this course once, and it was barely noticeable unless you went off course by a decent margin. If the course had new pins it would be given a half star higher. I actually like this course better than the course in joplin, mostly because I do not have to worry about my disc getting jacked up by rocks on every hole.

Pros: This course is located in a huge park in south Miami. Nice variety in distances (204-728 ft.) Very open, so you can practice those long distance drives. Tee pads were very nice and textured nicely which gave them excellent grip. Baskets were bright yellow which helped with navigation. Not very busy. We only saw two other groups playing. Navigation was fairly easy if you have the map. Otherwise you could get confused in several places (7 to 8, 15 to 16)
Cons: Flow of the course was very weird. It seemed like there were three mini course and they joined them all together. Baskets had a strange paint on them which made the chains more stiff. The actual basket part of the baskets were too small which made putting a lot harder. Tee signs weren't helpful. The only way you could find which basket to throw at would be looking at the roads on the signs and seeing where the roads were in real life. Very flat and wide open. Accuracy is not really needed here. It smelled like raw sewage around 1, 4, 17, and 18. Trash scattered in a few holes. Water doesn't really come into play when the creek is dry. Most of the holes were pretty boring. There just weren't any fun holes to play here.
Other Thoughts: Overall, this is a nice course for such a small town. This is a great place to try out a new driver because it's long and wide open and hardly anyone comes here. Don't plan a trip just to come here, go to Joplin instead, but if you live in the area it's a good course to add to your played list. There's a local water park in the same are so you could bring the whole family.

Decent for a small town course. Needs better orientation. 
Pros: Nice well kept park with plenty of parking space. Good textured concrete pads. Bright yellow baskets make finding the pin easy to see (provided you know which to aim at). Has a nice mix of hyzer and anhyzer shots. Not a lot of other amenities in the park to interfere with disc golf. Alternate tees marked with flags provide for a different course. Not overlwhelmingly long for newbies, but still has some decent long bomb holes (2 & 13) for advanced players.
Cons: Orientation problems. Needs better signage, as some have hole distances or even hole numbers. On some holes the signs are backwards making you think the hole goes the other way. The diagrams on some of the signs aren't much help. Pins have no hole number markings either except for a couple, one of which was wrong. Park is marshy, muddy, and looks like it would flood easy (in fact I had to break the golden retriever out to get my disc of a pool of ice along Hole 15). At least one place where fairways cross.
Other Thoughts: For a smaller town like Miami, this is a respectable course, but it could use some TLC. I was thinking of giving this course a 2.5, and then I got to the back nine and started getting a bit confused and wasn't sure that I was aiming at the right hole. New signage, perhaps some trees to help define fairways, and some new numbers on the baskets, and maybe I could upgrade this. Not a must play, as McClelland in Joplin is better, but okay for a round if you're in town.

Good to Learn On Pros: Well kept clean park. Very open for learning how to throw.
Cons: No challenges, can flood, and if you make a mistake throwing near the river, the wind could take your disc and put it in the drink.
Other Thoughts: If you need to throw and you are here, go throw. It makes a good escape in a pinch when I am at my in-laws.

Dont play here 
Pros: plays along a cool river, long open
Cons: everything. no technical shots, floods horribly, home-made baskets that are painted yellow(including chains). Fairways cross. If your in the area and want to play this course, make some extra time and drive to a different course.

Good if you live around there. 
Pros: Park is very neat and clean, short grass, all holes but 1 have tee signs. All holes have concrete tee pads. Most of the tee signs from 9-18 look new. Easy to navigate a couple of holes back track 7 to 8 and 16 to 17 but nothing too terrible considering its wide open if you pay attention you should have no problems.
Cons: Very muddy, can flood when it rains heavy as river swells, suggest a change of shoes and a towell if you play after it rains. Can be heavy with foot and vehicle traffic and considering 3 or 4 holes play over roads and parking lots could be a hassle but i had not to much trouble. The map on the links section of this page is a little off 10, 11, 12 are in the same area now and 13 is the long hole that runs along the river but its easy to find your way around.
Other Thoughts: Every basket was painted yellow with some strange paint that made the chains not as free hanging as baskets with no paint. I cant really tell if it helped with the putting or hurt it. It did help to easily navigate the course being able to see them from a long ways away.

Pros: Long course, park well kept. Fairly flat w/trees mixed in.
Cons: Baskets are poor. Course can flood.
Other Thoughts: Worth it to play but I prefer Joplin or Neosho a tad more.

Pass
Pros: Huge, well kept park.
Cons: Course was lacking in some basket maintenance. Very flat and open and long. It made for the same shot over and over and over.
Other Thoughts: If you love to just fling away, few obstacles, you might have an alright time. My opinion, just drive on to Joplin.
