Nice clean course
Pros: - Good concrete pads
- Clear signage and trashcans around the course.
- Course was clean, which is unusual for the courses I have played.
- Well laid out, we didn't have any issues with finding the next tees.
Like how the course starts tight and 'technical' and then opens up to longer holes then mixes them up afterwards.

Cons: Not sure I like how holes A-F are tucked into a different section off hole 9. It's like a mini 6 hole round in the middle of a 18 hole round.
Other Thoughts: We have a state park pass for Indiana, so this is essentially free to play and even if we didn't, would pay to play this course.

Pros: - Course is set in a large portion of this campground, with plenty of space for a big course. Well separated from the rest of the activities onsite.
- Awesome mix of holes in the woods, and others out in the open with mature trees and bordering forest. The course starts off with some shorter, trickier holes in the woods that have pretty significant hyzers and anhyzers to hit, with some FH coming in handy too. A fun way to kick it off, with lots of blind, but reachable pins. The letter holes add some more woodsy looks, with tigher fairways carved out of dense forest. Two different kinds of forested holes, which split up the course nicely. Hole D is a highlight; a 365' shot (total) over a body of water onto a defined fairway.
- Fantastic mix of holes out in the "open" areas. There are some straightforward, more or less open ones, but these usually have some sort of up or downslope, and considerable length. Drivers are a plus on a lot of these holes, with distance trumping accuracy. Other holes are of more average length, but have some tricky obstacles to avoid. A RHFH-friendly shot on #16 goes way around or over a patch of forest, #14 is a blind downhill hyzer, these and others are pretty tricky.
- As mentioned above, the slight elevation changes are pretty noticable on some of the holes, especially on the longer ones. This adds a lot of fun with some downhill bombers, and some additional challenge on a few uphill ones.
- Great variety in hole length, and a good mix of difficulty as well. There are easy and hard short holes, and easy and hard long holes. Makes each hole stand out in its own way, all 24 holes are pretty different.
- Good signage, baskets, and teepads. Navigation is fairly easy, with signs pointing to the letter holes and the tee signs in plain sight usually. Water pump in one spot to help on those hot days, too.

Cons: - A fair amount of the holes here are out in the open, with only a few obstacles to avoid. It is fun to rip the drives out there, for all but the biggest arms, but the challenge is just in throwing it far. On the other hand, some of the hole lengths are very short, around the 200' mark. The lines are fun, but accuracy trumps distance big time.
- Slight elevation changes are cool, but there's nothing too extreme here. Apart from a few holes, it plays mostly flat.

Other Thoughts: - Really not many cons here in my book! Extremely fun discing to be had here, both in and out of the forest. Not super challenging, but execution is still important to score well. Again, nothing too too crazy to contend with (except maybe D), perfect for a relaxing round that covers nearly all the bases. Great for beginners and experienced players, but more advanced players might be a little bored some short lengths and open spaces.

Raccoon Ambush Pros: Easy to follow. Scenic. Great campground.
Cons: You can definitely lose disks here.
Other Thoughts: Great course and campground. Visit my facebook page for more pics: Ronald C. Horton, bigronbowski@hotmail.com. Very friendly raccoons will approach you on course. It happened both times I played here.

fun course Pros: Every hole is unique, and fairly forgiving for beginners. There is not too much distance between holes and they are easy to find. Every hole has a paved T pad. When you play this course you will use a variety of drive styles.
Cons: Played the course after some rain and it was incredibly muddy. Seemed to hold a lot of water throughout the course. The basket's are in pretty bad shape and some of the maps on the signs were misleading.
Other Thoughts: Overall this is a great course. Cost five bucks a car to get into the park but was well worth it. I will definitely travel the 20 minutes to play this course again.

Thorn Star
Pros: Tight fairways; Beautiful scenery; Awesome layout
Cons: The baskets are in pretty bad shape, the distances on some of the signs are suspect; thorns everywhere!
Other Thoughts: This course makes you think before you throw. And I usually think wrong. And then I spend a ton of time crawling through thorn bushes trying to retrieve errant shots. The baskets are all bent to hell and you're probably going to get eaten alive by bugs. But it doesn't matter because this course rocks so hard that I can't stop coming back for more. It's a gorgeous and peaceful setting and when you play a hole well you feel like a disc god. At least I do. There's also plenty of chances to see wildlife (my cousin spotted a fawn nestled down under the thorns 2ft of the path between 12 & 13). So, grab $5 and do your best to find this course. You won't regret it.

Other Thoughts: It costs $6.00 a car to enter the park.I have seen deer on back holes more than once.Some times store before you go in park is open and has discs for sale and snacks. I saw my first ACE there on hole 5.

My old home course
Pros: Great variety of shots, maybe the guys that can whip it 500+ might be frustrated, but for the rest of us it really is a chance to empty out the bag and all your shots. Wooded holes are precisely laid out for good sight lines requiring technically accurate shots to score yet still reasonable player friendly for the am's. The hole you tee off and throw over a little marshy area to a protected green area is my favorite. In a beautiful park with lots of features. Being able to shower after the round and before work was a real plus.
Cons: park folks randomly walking the course, mosquitos after times of heavy rain, signage could be a little better.
Other Thoughts: I lived in Indiana from 1999-2006 and this was my home course and still my top 3 fav's. I miss it dearly.

Great course
Pros: tons of variety, great course to use most of your bag on, tech holes that test your midrange game, long holes to air out on, lots of trees, rolling hills, water, ect
Cons: couple of baskets were messed up, but thats really about it.
Other Thoughts: If you are in the Peru area and have some time go play this course, you won't be disappointed. I will be playing this course as often as I can, just really had a great time playing this. I would consider myself to be an average player (been throwing about a year and a half) and I went +1 with a couple of birdies that jump out of the chains for pars.
Didn't have time to play the extra 6 holes, but I have a bunch of friends that say these holes are great as well.
Go play.

Tree Tight Goodness 
Pros: I'm a lover of trees and tight courses. Most of the course is tree lined and offers what I call open holes with strategic placement of large trees. The 'Letter Holes' of A-F are very tight and I enjoyed these deuce or bogey holes very much.
The grass here was manicured and looked freshly planted. The dark soil is very bad for flooding issues but is highly advantageous when growing ball golf grade grass. This opened up the possibility of both backhand and forehand rollers.
The course offered a wide range of shots from short to long, open to tightly wooded, righty, lefty and neutral. A great variety.
You always have to love a shot over water. I high recommend this park to anyone that loves trees.

Cons: Two of the baskets were totally useless with damage. In the tournament I played, they brought two temp baskets to replace them with. If you aren't in a tournament...this is a very bad thing since such a pristine course should have workable baskets.
I would rate this course higher if they would simply fix the two broken baskets. However, the older spiderweb baskets all need to be replaced with modern baskets...whether they are updated spiderwebs or of another manufacture.
It does cost money to enter the park...so in essence you can think of it as pay to play.
I would say that 80% of all the tee signs have the wrong distances...some off by as much as 100 feet.
The shule can be very 'thorny' once you get off the fairway...fortunately...most holes..the fairway is quite wide.

Other Thoughts: This is an incredible park that offers more than just disc golf. If you plan on camping..this is a perfect place. The park is well maintained and it offers just about anything you would expect from a large park such as fishing, camping and what not.
I will visit again next year during the 26th annual Circus City Pro Open.

Missing Mississinewa
Pros: Designed by Peru local Bill Johnston, this course could be heaven in Indiana's disc golf Mecca. It features dog-leg lefts, dog-leg rights, tight fairways and a couple open holes well over 400'. Most of the holes feature a length of around 300'+, however. Be sure to play holes A-F after hole 9 where holes get shorter, but much tighter; one shoots over a beautiful pond. Upkeep on the course is phenominal and there are trash cans, well marked signs and benches on every cement tee (they're all cement; even the alts.). Hole one opens to a beautiful scene of the swamp with woodpeckers and swallows swooping every which way. There are bathrooms and a practice basket in the parking lot. This course demands length and shaping enough to challenge any level player.
Cons: There is a $5 car fee during the busy times of year. Pack your car with as many dgers as you can, clown style! There are two baskets that are a little gnarled by fallen trees, but nothing to spit out a well placed putt. Not for the faint of heart.
Other Thoughts: This is a perfect place for camping. The campground is very close to the course and one can easily walk from their tent or trailer for a glow round; highly recomended, but get to know the course in sunlit hours.
