Nice new course 
Pros: -Course is a nice city park style course that plays through mature oaks on the front 9 and opens up to a somewhat longer, more open back nine...very much like most of dave mac's designs.
-Nice use of available elevation a handful of holes are slight downhill shots (1,2,4,10,11,12), and a couple slightly uphill holes (3, 4)
-Decent variety of hole shapes: some l-->r (5,8,12), some r-->l(1,10), some tunnel shots (2,13,14), a bottle neck or two (16), several mostly open holes, and a couple holes where would would be in play on bad and or long shots (1, 7, 8, maybe 11)
-Some length variety: mostly less than 300' on the front, a couple over 400 on the back.
-Some nice thick rough that punishes inaccuracy.
-Fun little course that will challenge recreational players and most intermeiate players.
-Decent amount of OB.

Cons: -I'm not going to knock the course for being brand new, but cons nonetheless: natural tees, tees signs are just 4x4s with numbers on them, no trashcans etc.
-There will however be problems when the park is busy. The area that the front nine is in has lots of picnic areas, possibly fishermen by the ponds. The back nine might be dangerous as it plays through a series of walking paths, with lots of blind areas.
-The course is pretty short overall, a little lacking on the length variety in the front nine, as most holes are between 250' and 280'.
-If the course gets really busy, there are sure to be backups on some holes 1-2 because you walk back up 2s fairway to get to the teebox, 11 throws toward 18's tee on the first shot.
-A couple of tees were in low spots (15) or drainage ditches (17) and will probably need to be moved before concrete goes in.

Other Thoughts: Overall a very fun course, and beginner friendly, which is nice for the area. I'm excited to see the multiple pins and tees, it'd be nice to see some pins closer to water for tournaments and such, and some tees that draw the length out a bit more. I get out here about once a month, so I'll update the review appropriately.

Report this Review Great layout a must play 
Pros: This course has great flow. your shot selection is going to be tested. there are a wide range of shots you are going to have to pull out of your bag to get through this one. i will have to say on the pin placements and pads that are there now it is a very beginner friendly course. You can see the baskets from most of the tee pads. It has a variety of tight and open pin placements. A good variety of hyzer and anhyzer shots. It does very much so test you driving accuracy a very good stalker buzz mid range kinda course liked it lots.
Cons: Not much to say... i know it needs additional pin and pad placements. But they will come with time. It did seam very short on the front and not extremly long on the back. just a couple of holes that tested your driving length. at all.
Other Thoughts: good course to play not to far from st louis 45 min. It will make a great get away course to take the crew out on a nice day and do some barbqing and discing.

Pros: Beautiful course laid out in a very large well kept, maintained,and used park. course plays along 3 different lakes with plenty of obs's.only 3 miles off of hwy 70 in highland, sweet.
Cons: not much yet.. hole 5 tee pad may become a issue if it rains alot . fairway looks like a wash of some sort .
Other Thoughts: brand new course just installed. plays good. only walk up preceeding holes 2 times. ..lefty friendly on front 2-9.. many birdies chances plus some good long holes also.. approx.5600 ft par 56.. looks like possible multi pin placement markings too. another great course design by gateway disc sports... must come and play. will give it a 4 when footage and tee signs are installed.

Pros: This course has good flow to it. Great scenery and it also provides great wind play this time of year(Dec).
The front 9 provides several way placed basket that are deuce-able if you have a good drive. I don't remember exactly but their were 2 I could remember that would be give-me 2's. This sets you up for the back 9. Their is more length and these are harder. Of course their are a few deuce holes. All in All, I would say competitive rounds would be around par(54) for advanced players. I would say most pro's would shoot 48-52

Cons: It is a new course. My rating is not skewed by the cons because I played the course like 2 days after the baskets were put in. The 18th basket was also put in by the time I played.
Yes, some paths are unclear, no trash cans, no "established" tee boxes just flags and stakes, some benches on fairways, some minor flooding, blah blah new course. If this course was a year old and these were still issues, yes the ratings should be lower

Other Thoughts: Solid 4 star and should remain this after the course is completely finished. I also heard that additional pin placements or tees are already being thought of. So This course can truly become one of the best in a few years.
Update- For shame, drop the course in and do nothing to improve it.

Pros: I really enjoyed playing this course! Situated around Silver Lake, the course runs up and down the grounds, making you throw down towards the lake, up through tight technical fairways. Several pin placements against the water. There are many really cool tee and pin placements here. This course has a few long holes, but the way it's put together, overall this is a finesse course. A lot of placement shots, control drives here. All in all, this is a course of really neat holes.
Cons: A few of the tees are quite close to one another. One of the holes had a picnic bench in the fairway. And 18's basket was missing. (?) Tee posts are in, tee's are spraypaint right now, but they do point almost exactly at the pin (so that's good).
Other Thoughts: Being brand new, there are no trashcans. I think I saw a restroom, not sure if it was open. While not overly difficult to figure out, directional signs, tee signs, etc. would be awesome.
