Pros:

-Layout is OK
-Quick play, quiet park, not far off I-80

Cons:

-Had to use UDisc to find 1st tee (Added a map)
-Walking path in play on #1, #2, #3, and #4
-Historic schoolhouse in play on #4
-Creek could be in play on #2 and #3
-Minimal elevation, some trees to work around, but mostly straight lines

Other Thoughts:

Avoca DGC plays in Eddington Memorial Park, just east of Avoca, IA. A nice multi-use park, the disc golf shares its area with a couple of shelters (not really in play), an historic schoolhouse building, and a walking path. The only other person I saw in the park was at the pool, so very quiet, but mid-day on a Friday, could be more traffic on the weekends. I had a little trouble locating the first tee (added that info and a map), and eventually jumped in at tee #7, which was closest to parking. Nice large tee pads shoot towards nice Mach V baskets in a red/orange (easy to spot.) #7 did have a Mando tree to go left of, annoying for the RHBH, not an issue for RHFH. Course has minimal elevation and a usual park style number of trees to work around. Only 2 blind shots with #3 tucked in behind some trees on the right, and #4 is a left curve around the schoolhouse (Don't throw at the basket you see, it's #7). Flow was OK, the map will help. No signage is the knock here. Could do with a bench or trash can as well (although the park was clean and well mowed). If you need to stretch your legs while heading across on I-80, it's about a mile into town off the interstate and less than a mile from the turn in town out across the river to the park. I parked near the basketball court. Not a destination, but a nice stop. I might play again, if in the area.
