Fun 9 Holer
Played: 27 Reviewed: 5 Exp: 6.1 Years
Pros: Good distance (most holes are around 300 ft), Some trees that force you to work on different shots, elevation changes on holes 3-5, course is regularly mowed, and good obstacles such as creek and OB
Cons: Bad signage, the signs are on the teepad and get in the way on a couple holes, which is a pain and kind of a waste! It's not easy to get from hole to hole for first time players, Without a bridge to Holes 8 and 9, the creek makes playing the holes too much trouble than it's worth sometimes. Design of course is subpar and doesn't flow like one would expect either. Could be easily improved with a few different pin placement or teepads even.
Other Thoughts: It's a fun course to play and get through in a short period of time, wish there was another one around here to go with the course, or wish there were more holes. There is a practice basket near 1, which is a positive.
A long 9
Played: 32 Reviewed: 3 Exp: 2.8 Years
Pros: This course offers several chances to really rip a disc without getting into much trouble. The first 3 holes are each really good birdie opportunities (if you play them as par 4's). Ace opportunities on 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.
The scattered trees offer a bit of an obstacle on most holes, but you still have several different line options available to play.

Cons: The tee location for hole 5 is terrible. It's the longest walk between holes on the course and you have to backtrack across the drainage ditch that runs through the park. Flight paths for holes 3-5 intersect quite a bit, so if the course is crowded, you need to watch out.
Between the creek, the ditch, and a few adjacent low-lying areas, this park can sometimes hold a lot of water. During the summer or in dry stretches, it's not much of an issue. Currently, the only decent crossing is on hole 7, but there is talk of adding another bridge on 8, and possibly one for holes 4 and 5.
I almost forgot to list the biggest con for this course: it's in Kirksville.

Other Thoughts: * There is currently not a bridge to cross the creek on holes 8 and 9 (although there is a plan in the works to build one). There is a crossing behind the tee pad on 8 and another one up closer to the hole. Hole 9 has a shortcut crossing about 50 ft in front of the tee pad. There is also a path through the woods up to the road near the basket.
* The tee pads are a little too short for much of a run-up. The ground behind most of them is flat enough and level with the concrete to extend a run-up by a few steps. The exceptions to this are 2, 3, and 9.
* There is a gravel parking lot next to the sand volleyball court that is very close to the practice basket and tee #1. However, if you want to avoid a long walk back from hole 9, turn into the park off of New Street and park around the amphitheater.
* Bathrooms are located in the center of the park just off of the hole 2 fairway and behind the hole 6 tee. There is a water spigot next to the shelter by the hole 7 basket.
* During the winter, basket #4 is removed for sledding, which usually takes place from the hole 3 tee pad.

Played: 7 Reviewed: 6
Pros: Easier, good variety, not too many trees to screw your throws up. Probably takes less than 40 minutes to play, even with several people. There are benches at most of the holes. Simple layout takes you in a loop. Openness and size of the park allows many configurations - it can easily be turned into an 18-hole course by simply choosing a different hole from each pad.
Cons: Water hazards a problem on the last holes. You have to frequently cross a creek to keep playing. The pads are too small to get a good run-up. First hole has a playground in its path where children play, so beware of that. Some of the par numbers seem a bit strange, it's easy to birdie the 1st and 2nd holes; the 7th hole is a bit rough for a par 3.
5th hole recently had the pin stolen. You can play through to the 2nd hole's pin, it's about 90 feet further up the hill.

Other Thoughts: This is a great 9-hole course with a good variety of elevation changes and interesting shot possibilities. It's really quite good and worth playing if you're in Kirksville.

Pros: Being new to the sport, I'm not always sure what I'm looking for, but I liked the changes in elevation and having to dodge not one but two creeks, as well as a water pipeline. Despite the pipeline, the park is pleasant to look at. The mature trees didn't seem inclined to eat my discs, either. The Tee instructions were quite well-done.
Cons: Having to back up almost to the 4 tee to find the 5 was a bit weird, and I got wet crossing the smaller (but splashier) of the two streams. I had to fish my disc out of the larger stream -- but, bonus, found someone else's lost disc.
Other Thoughts: A comfortable short course of 3 and 4 par holes. Even with the fishing, we finished nine holes in about forty-five minutes.

Pros: This is a fun course with good distance. The elevation changes on the middle holes is my favorite part of the course. The park is usually mowed well. There aren't very many areas to lose a disc here. The course is very simple to follow with great tee signs. The old mature trees are great part of the course to make you think about your shots, the fairways are still nice and open just make sure you set up for your approach.
Cons: Hole 1's basket is close to a busy playground and often kids are playing right next to it. Holes 8 and 9 require you to risk getting wet and muddy crossing a big drainage ditch or make a LONG walk back to a bridge in the middle of the park. It is nice to see concrete tees on a 9 hole course, but they are a little short and they are not level with the ground so a run up on your x step is tricky.
Other Thoughts: This is a fun course mostly used by the local college kids. It is a quick play I do a solo 9 in about 30-40 mins.
