Pros: There seems to be a good variety of holes at the course.
The park is always well manicured and seems to be well cared for an updated.
It is not the most challenging course, but is a fun course and alt tees make it longer and completely changes how some of the holes play.
I am new to disk golf and the local/league players have been very helpful, supportive and friendly.

Cons: A few of the tee signs have been beat up a little.
While the walking path serves as a good OB, it does get some walkers from the nearby park, not a huge deal.
The tee box for 1 can be a little inconvenient on evenings when there are softball games going.

Other Thoughts: This is my first review and I have only played a few courses, but it is what it is...
As far as variety of shots...
1 is pretty basic, slightly uphill
2 offers the chance for a nice long anhyzer to a well protected basket
3 offers a tight tunnel shot or a throw up and over the trees. Alternate tee makes it one of the best holes at the course, it is a long straight tunnel shot that if thrown well leaves you a good birdie chance.
4 is a long straight hole with OB very close on the right side...looking for a disc on the other side of the fence is never fun.
5 is open to whatever you want to do, as long as you don't go long.
6 is narrow, OB on the left with a nasty tree line on the right.
7 is a little tight out of the tee box and has OB on the left (nasty thorn bushes).
8 is short, but with well protected green long, left and right are bad news.
9 is straight and long.

A Quick and Fun Challenge 
Pros: -Good tee signs and I found it easy to navigate the course.
- It's been very dry in the area for the last month, so the creek was dried up.
-Nice Innova Discatchers all in great shape. Elevated pin on #4.
-It was 95+ degrees out when I played but playing 3 or more rounds of 9 holes would be easy in a little cooler weather.

Cons: -Dirt tee pads. Since the holes didn't play very long, this wasn't a huge bother.
-If your staying anywhere around the Lake of the Ozarks, this is pretty much your only option outside of driving 90 or more minutes.

Other Thoughts: I take a week vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks area every year and I will plan to play this course each time.
The Ozarks are such a beautiful part of the country, I wish there was more courses around. This course, however, was a plesant surprise.

Pros: 1. a dg course in middle MO.
2. Nice baskets with yellow rims.
This course was a surprise to find. The park is nice. Each hole marked with a sign most with multiple pin selections. They are hand made at this point but do the trick. There is a few shots that contend with a water hazard. Has a good tunnel shot.

Cons: The drainage wasn't the greatest but it has rained a bunch the day before. Need cement tees and i dont think i saw any trash cans.
Other Thoughts: If you at the lake of the ozarks and going back west hit this up on the way through and knock it off the list.
Nice quiet course Pros: Excellant beginners coarse an a nice variety of shots. The creek made it quite interesting since there were trees close by. No real long shots for those who dont have as much throwing power.
Cons: Basket 3 a little hard to find. (its on a ridge in the trees). On the back side of the course the is a row of apartment housing. could be marked a little better.
Other Thoughts: Will play it again when I come thru that area!
Nice tight course in small village park
Pros: A pleasant suprise to find a dg course in the middle of nowhere. Short tees provide a very nice course for the beginner. All tees have a nice sign detailing pin location. Pins are all nice big Yellow Innova baskets...Can't miss 'em. 3 is a nice hard tunnel drive 100 feet to a 90 degree dog-leg right. 4's pin up in the tree is an excellent touch. 6 has a 45 degree dog-leg right, that if you try to take it too early gets you into some brush that'll add two strokes. 8 plays 250 feet to a creek crossing up to the tree speckled green. 9 plays left to right up a slight incline and tucked into a huge goalie of a tree.
Cons: Hard to find long tees.
Hard to find 7 & 8 after 6. Hint, go to through the creepy/muddy wooded path to the right of 6's pin, walking about 10 feet off the creek. You'll see 7 after you poke back out into that big field where 5 was.
Holes 1, 5, 7 are just wide open fields without much interest and very hot in the direct sun w/out shade.
The creek crossing for hole 6 requires finagling yourself from a muddy creek bank onto some pallets. An excellent scout project would be to fashion a permanent bridge over this path.
Lots of trash back in the woods between 6 and 7, probably from local kids hanging out.

Other Thoughts: After playing this course a second time after being told by some locals where to find 7&8, I think 8 is one of my favorite holes on this course. Some arrows on the top of the baskets to point to the next tee would be a great addition to this course for new visitors.
Perfectly playable park, and I gather they've been doing some development as the tees are now well marked with nice signage.

Eldon Airpark
Pros: Baskets in great shape and hole signs readable. I've only played four DG courses and this is my favorite so far. I enjoyed the holes that were located in or behind the trees as it provide a little more difficult shots.
Cons: Some of the holes were hard to find. Holes 7 and 8 especially. A walking path zig zags through the course and a ballfield is nearby. Only 9 holes.
Other Thoughts: This is one of the closest courses to my house at this time. I'll play this one over and over again. I really enjoyed the layout and the course.

Vacation in Ozarks 
Pros: Good use of small area of land. For a 9 hole course this was decent play through the strip of wooded area and open area. Easy to find.
Cons: Long tees need to be marked out better and direction from hole to hole could be addressed differently. Plays near ball diamonds which I can imagine gets busy during games.
Other Thoughts: For a 9 hole course this actually impressed me. I've played plenty of 9 holers in my day and this one was the best lain out i've played before. I wish this would have been 12-18 since it's the only course I played while in the Ozarks but like said above DG is better than no DG.

Pros: It is a good challenging course but can be played by everyone. It was enjoyable for the whole family. I found all the tee's easily.
Cons: There were people just walking around because it is a park by a residential area. So there are a lot of people always taking their kids to the park and just taking a walk around the park.
Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed the park. I have played a few other parks including all the parks in springfield and the one at Southwest Baptist University and i would say that this one will be one i wouldn't mind playing over and over again.

Tee signs are up
Pros: They have put up good tee signs with a hole map on each sign and they point you to the next tee. The alternate tees for back nine were freshly painted and not too hard to find. For a beginner like myself the course had some good challenging shots that led to a few double bogeys and bogeys and why keep counting this is horrible.
Cons: Course is close to a baseball field that could get crowded at times. A few holes play a little uncomfortabley close to private residences. I had to walk in someones yard to retreive a bad throw.
Other Thoughts: I wouldn't travel far to play here but if you are close it is worth checking out.

Pros: Rural city opportunity to play DG
Cons: VERY poorly marked tees
Literally couldn't find holes 7 or 8
Would be tough to play if park were crowded

Other Thoughts: This course is not worth seeking out, but I guess some Disc Golf is better than no DG if you live there...someone should do something about identifying the tees
I HATE dogging courses...I think anyone that tries to put in a course should be encouraged...
If the people who voted thumbs down on my take on this course are locals there...then please rally the troops in the area and repair your course and then write a new review so people will know that it is worth venturing off the beaten path to play...
If you have given a thumbs down because it is a sparse review...I understand that, there just wasn't much to "review" IMHO
