Hendrickson Park is a City of Poplar Bluff park. The park is scenic and well maintained. The course features 18 baskets with concrete tee pads. The pads appear larger than pads on most other courses I have played on. The course features a variety of terrain and shots. The first nine baskets are located on the east side of the park, which is hilly and wooded. The first 9 have uphill shots and downhill shots considered to be technical because of the numerous trees. The back 9 baskets are located on a more level and open area of the course, with the exception being #14 which is an uphill slope. None of the baskets are near water or brush hazards. The flow of the entire course is easy, with the next pad being within view and being a short walk from the previous basket. A sign with a map of the course is located next to the parking lot.

The only thing I considered to be a con were the leaves on the ground on the front 9. Some city parks departments will remove fallen leaves from parks by mid-December, while some do not, and Poplar Bluff appears to be a city that does not.

Hendrickson Park is located only a couple of blocks away from another city park known as Bacon Park, and Bacon has a 9 basket course.

The course has good teepads for the most part (although some were a little short). the baskets were DGA baskets, which will sometimes not catch the discs. This course is a rather short course, making it good for beginners but there are a few big bomber holes (450 ft or more) that make it interesting.

Not the best baskets ever. Some teepads are a little short. The front nine is a very short set of holes.the longest hole is 255 ft.

This course has had some bad reviews, probably because the course had not been upgraded. Overall, woods, hills, and a creek along the back nine make this a nice course. It could use some improvements, such as the baskets and tee pads. I rate it a 3.5 out of 5.

Elevation up & down hills adds challenge to the front 9 that range between 156 feet and 255 feet.

Could not find the supposed 3 sets of tees, other than one longer tee for hole #3 which was spray painted on a tree.
Found pink flags in two places which were most likely the tees for hole 10, could not find any other tees for the back 9 although many baskets were visible.

This course seems to be in the middle of adding a back 9 but unless you can find a local familiar with the flow it is best considered a 9 hole course until tee signs & markers are added. I moved on after playing the first 9, versus making up my own tees for the back 9.

It's a short, fun course. 9 holes and all are par 3. A couple of blind holes and lots of narrow lanes. Since you are in the woods there is 90% shade. The amount of trees to avoid make for a nice challenge to the par 3 holes for pros.

Beginners will find the amount of trees challenging and frustrating. There are no wide open lanes to throw big sweeping shots in either direction.

The red tees (amateur) are next to the tee sign, but some of the yellow (pro) and blue (kids) tees are hard to locate. I assume vandals may have dug them up.

The Tee Marker Signs are at the red tees.

A mixture of slight uphill and downhill shots. Probably no more than 10 feet in difference between most tees and holes, but there are some dry ditches to cross. Only 2 of the 9 have the hole and tee on the same elevation. As of this date, it's the only course within 30 miles.
