Pros: Large tee pads. Green powder coated baskets. Three tee placements per hole. There are a lot of mature trees on this course. Hole #8 is my favorite.
Cons: Goose crap everywhere! So much it smells like a turkey farm. The only difficulty is the distance. There are also a lot of low hanging branches near the tee on many holes that make a decent first drive nearly impossible. There is no playing just 9 holes on this one. Unless you want to walk a long way back to your car.
Other Thoughts: I will continue to play this course as it is close to my work. It will require a long lunch. As stated above, #9 is nowhere near the parking area.

Report this Review new credit island course
Pros: -Credit Island is a fairly nice park directly on the Mississippi River.
-The course plays in an area that used to be a public ball golf course with large, mature trees and large, open fairways.
-3 pin placements per hole each offering different lengths, and shot varieties.
-Huge concrete tees.
-Nice green powder coated baskets.
-Off the tee there is a decent variety of shots required. A lot of wide open stuff where you can throw however you want, but there are a couple holes ie 6 and 11 where there are trees directly off the tee and you either have to choose to pick a low line (6) or throw a high turning shot for rhbh (11).
-One hole where water potentially comes into play if you get reckless with your line choice.
-There are dueceable holes out here despite the overall length. My favorite of these was hole 8. It has cedars all around the tee area and the pins is 250 straight ahead and the only hole you can throw through is down the length of a bridge you have to cross.

Cons: -Lack of length variety: every hole except for the handful of holes under 300 was a driver then either a mid or putter upshot. Although there were a lot of trees (think Creve Couer in STL), the fairways are big enough where they are easily avoided.
-The course is very flat. Some of the pins are on a bit of high ground, but nothing resembling a hill is present at this course.

Other Thoughts: All this being said I think the designers (I'm guessing MDR, Sprague and Calloway had a hand in it) did a fantastic job with the design on the mediocre property. This course will be awesome for the top distance cats and for beginners. It just wasn't all that exciting for me because I don't have quite the d to get the 400-450 holes in 2 and the longer ones in 3 so a player like me takes a lot of easy pars and bogeys. There just isn't the scoring variety for me. This is just the nature of the course.
The course is a longer Eastern Ave park.
I did hear some interesting stuff about prairie grass OB in the future, which will definitely bump the course up for me.
All this being said, I'm playing it again tomorrow. So it's not like I didn't like the course, it's just not my favorite type of course.
