Pros: NEW FOR 2013!!
Iwen is starting the process of being expanded. New 9 hole "short course" layout is in play. New maps added in Files/Links tab.
Not sure when "long course" is being installed, but hopefully sometime this spring/summer!
-----
- Great tee boxes
- Nicely marked, signs give a good idea of what faces you
- Technical shots on every hole
- Uncrowded

Cons: - Park is also a popular place to launch boats on the Red River, lots of trucks with trailers in the small parking lot
- Flood prone in early season

Other Thoughts: Iwen is a park that has come a long way from when it was first built. The underbrush on all holes has been cleaned up nicely and has resulted in a challenging and technical 9 hole that rarely sees play. Rumor has it that another 18 will be installed due to the City of Fargo buying out houses along the Red River because of flooding. Hopefully these new holes will add some distance to the course and we'll have a great 27 hole complex away from the crowds that plague Oak Grove / Woodlawn.
The tee boxes deserve special mention on this one. Huge and spacious. Great condition. Why can't Oak Grove get a set of these?

Pros: I like the course layout.
Cons: Most of the Tees boxes are still cover in dirt and mud, from the flooding. Baskets # 4 is being used on hole # 3. Hole # 4, is dirt and mud up to the bottom side of the basket and cover up by weeds. Hole # 1 is missing it sign. No restrooms.
Other Thoughts: I walk the course for about 15 to 20 minutes, looking for Tee boxes and baskets. The course need cleaning up, and would be an excellent course. I would love to play this course after it have been repaired.

Confusing... 
Pros: Very challenging, considering the size
Great place to work on tree-diverting throws
Tee markers have good descriptions of holes

Cons: Very hard to navigate
Tough place to play if you have tree-seeking discs
Parking area is basically a boat ramp
Floods every spring, like every other course on the river

Other Thoughts: I finally decided to go to Iwen park today for the first time. Although it is very close to my house, I couldn't really see anything from the road- so I had my doubts that the course was there. I spent 15 minutes trying to find Tee #1, which actually turned out to be a nice hole. I couldn't find hole number 2, although it might have been the basket with the "8" on it. All in all, I was too frustrated with the layout after about 5 holes and drove to Oak Grove DGC to finish the day.

Pros: This course is nice because it is short enough that having a big arm doesn't really matter. On the whole course, there is maybe 1 hole where the layout permits you going right at the hole. Water comes into play on a few holes. Hole number 4 is about 10 feet away from the Red River.
Cons: This course will flood pretty badly any time the red-river floods, which happens rather frequently. Also, holes are not that clearly marked, so it takes one or two rounds to get into the swing of things.
Other Thoughts: Not a fun place to play when it's windy as the wind most commonly blows your disc towards the water. Hole 4 is very tough if you care about your discs and it's windy.
