Good, but way overrated on this site...
Pros: This course is set in a very pretty park. The neighborhood is good, and I feel I would be willing to play by myself at anytime of the day. The use of elevation here is great. It is not as elevated as some make it out to be, but you do have to be wary of roll-aways near the baskets. This is a great park for people in the process of learning the game as only 2 holes didnt require a mid-range or an ultra-slow fairway driver. The holes are positioned well enough to make a lot of the trees interesting to play around. This course also flows very logically for the most part. Best of all I met a nice local who was willing to play the round with me and show me the course.
Cons: The first main con isn't of the course itself, its of the rating on here. How can a course that averages 240 feet have 2 ratings of a 4.5 and one of a 5.0 (not to mention the multips 4.0 ratings). Those are meant for the best courses in the world. It made me want to make my rating lower to average this out. There is no way this course is over a 3.2. Anyways, that being said, a main con is the lack of distance. I only needed a disc faster than a speed 6 on two holes. Those two holes seemed forced and unlike the rest of the course. There were a couple spots where I would not have known exactly where to go after completing a hole.
Other Thoughts: Once again the people who rated this a 4.5/5 and a perfect 5/5 (and even a 4) are honestly out of their minds. Normally I don't get negative like this in my reviews, but its unfortunate they did that because now this course will never have the proper rating. This was a very interesting and fun layout, but the lack of distance and overall variety makes this a 3.2 for me, which rounds to a 3 (especially because two certain individuals over-rating it). Fun course!

Report this Review Great Course
Pros: Great course, with hills,a good layout,plenty of space, and some tricky holes.
Cons: Not enough woods for my taste, but there is some.
Other Thoughts: A very fun course to play. One of the best in the area for sure. If you're close by it is worth the time to check out.

Best in Spf area
Pros: Concrete tees, Well marked, little traffic, quiet.All around the best course I have played. No uphill shot, Which is a pro for me, could be a con for others who like those shots.
Cons: the big hill can destroy you round if it rolls down.
Sometimes pedestrians on the walk way don't understand that you are trying to play a sport and are sometime inconsiderate.

Other Thoughts: Look for the road with the water tower on it. The road to the course kind of looks like a drive way and I have to do a U-turn every time I go to it. Ha..

Pros: + Maintenance - Grass cut, trees well kept. (Nice large trees)
+ Elevation - Nice elevation, especially on putting greens that make putts risky.
+ Different looks from some tee shots ( under, over, left, right)
+ Concrete tee pads
+ Practice basket by #1
+ No underbrush for an easy round
+ Navigation is easy enough
+ Bathrooms in the pool house right by parking.

Cons: - Short and scrunched - not aired out at all..
- Interference - Some holes run very close to each other. #8's fairway is right over #10's pin, (so when I played here I shot for 10's pin from 8's tee) #15 and #16 literally share the same fairway. So just keep an eye out when playing this course.
- Not enough challenge. The holes are basically straight shots. Most holes are dueceable and some ace runs.
- The holes that let you throw for distance are just open fields ( 15 and 16)
- I personally don't like the baskets, they booted a lot of fast putts.
- I can't say this is all the time, but by the time I left ( 5 ish ) it was pretty crowded.
- No underbrush to create obstacles. ( In both pros and cons for different reasons )

Other Thoughts: >If you want a relaxing quick round of disc golf, this is a really great place to go.
>Even though I had a lot of cons, I enjoyed the round I played.
>The park might be crowded in the evening, which creates some safety issues if you're not watching.
> Overall a very beginner friendly course.
> This could be a really nice 9 hole, but it's scrunched into an 18.

I like it
Pros: Great cement tee pads, nicely marked, great baskets with arrows pointing to the next tee, nice layout with a great mix of challenges, high shots, low shots, rights & lefts & some that you can choose which way around or over an obstacle. The people we met here were nice. 18 finishes up right along the fence by the pool and on a hot summer day the scenery isn't bad.
Cons: The basket for 11 is right along the park boundary and a throw past the basket ends up in some serious OB where I'd be worried about poison weeds, bugs and snakes. It was 95, sunny, and dry the day we played and we were getting KILLED by HUGE mosquitoes. I can't imagine what this place would be like if it was wet.
Other Thoughts: I wish I'd brought bug spray, a jungle hat, and a swimsuit so I could jump in the pool after, but it was worth the drive to get away from the hustle of Branson and play here. Ozark is a nice town and if we get back I'd probably play a round and then check out some of the other stuff to do.

Great beginer course
Pros: Enough elevation and trees to make it interesting. It is a miniature Waterworks Park, KC. It is a great place to take the Wife or g/f who might not play very often. They will find it a fun and easy course to play. Never had any beef with Johnny law for drinking a few brews during the round. Good course if you wanna practice upshots and putter shots off the tee.
Cons: Course is really short, and not very challenging. The two holes that let you stretch your arm out a little bit are wide open.
Other Thoughts: Fun place to take the ladies. My girl loves this course which is usually about the only time I play this course. One of the more fun courses in the area to play due to the trees and elevation. Just wish all the holes were longer.

new tees
Pros: Well kept, various trees and terrain, not too difficult for beginners. not as busy as some city parks. Every hole has concrete tee box. One of my favorites. I drive 65 miles one way to play this course.
Cons: more advanced players may think it too beginner friendly.
Other Thoughts: Recently several baskets and tees have been moved to make it a little more challenging.

More fun than expected!
Pros: This course is kept VERY well. The grass has been short, there hasnt been garbage, or tree limbs all over the place. Its just a very pleasant place to play.
Loads of ace runs that keep you coming back for more.
The concrete tees are nice (a little short for my taste) but are in good shape. The holes are all short enough that you don't need much of a runway to generate power, but the size of these could make some feel cramped.
The baskets are top notch, they grab the discs great and hold them.
You will get the chance to throw just about every shot you could want (hyzer, anhyzer, straight, even an overhead if you like going the high-road.)
ALL of the baskets have a little arrows pointing toward the next tee which is VERY helpfull on a course where there are 2 or 3 tees in near sight from each basket. This makes navigation a snap, even if its your first time out.

Cons: The course is crammed into a pretty small area, and as such there are only 2 holes where you can let your arm go, and even those aren't exactly 'bombers.'
You could get through this course with 3 discs without hurting your score at all. (I threw an aviar, roc, and a beast on 17 of the 18 holes) This could be seen as a positive, but I like being put in a situation where I really need to make a disc as well as shot selection.
The walk between 13 and 14 (might be 14 and 15) is pretty long (for this course at least) and very uncharacteristic for this place so that could be confusing. Its not a long walk by other course standards. (maybe 400 feet?)

Other Thoughts: If your looking to get 18 holes in and not spend a boat load of time or torch your arm then this is the place for you. The 18 holes can get covered in less than an hour (if your moving pretty good.) This is MY personal favorite course in the Springfield area, I wish some of the other courses around here had the funding that this one seems to have because this one is just NICE.

This review was updated on 2/25/2013
Pros: I love playing this course wish it were closer to where i live. this course is beginner friendly however it still has the difficulty to make it enjoyable for seasoned players.
there is an arrow under almost every basket pointing you to the next tee and all of the teepads have the number engraved on them.
tee signs have also been added since the last time i was out there
UPDATE:
Recently moved baskets and tees make several holes more difficult, and add variety

UPDATE:

Cons: the 18 holes are crammed into a fairly small amount of space, which means you have to look out for other DGers, and there are also a few walking paths that come into play
Some may not like the baskets on the mounds/hills surrounding drainage areas, because if you go for it and miss chances are your next putt is as long or longer then the last one

Other Thoughts: almost every hole has an ace run, the question is do you want to risk it.
Also mature trees come into play on most of the holes making it a little more difficult and taking way some shots
Some new smaller trees have been planted to add a little more variety and difficulty, but will defiantly change the course as they grow.
UPDATE 3/9/2012
like 20 new trees added making the course more difficult, and #10 is now a pie piece shaped island hole using the drainage ditch and the small gravel line drop zone is the 2 flags on top of the drainage ditch

grunbaugh Pros: I really enjoyed the cchallenge of the hills in this course. It is a beautiful course that is laid out in a way that might be confusing if the tee pads didnt have hole direction.
Other Thoughts: Recent rains produced extra water hazards that made play abit more challanging. The course seems a bit cramped at times and cann be conffusing at times.
