Nice little course in rural Iowa 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 13, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Stopped by on my way through town, and was glad I did. This is a really well thought out course in a quaint small town park. Every hole requires you to execute an actual golf shot...there are no wide open "throw whatever line you want" holes. Trees and other obstacles are well used to create low ceilings, mandos, and other fun lines. Also, on a mid-50's sunny day in the spring there were only 4 people total at the park, so this is a course that doesn't appear to get excessively busy.

The baskets are brand new Mach 5's, and the tee pads are concrete and in great shape. Added bonus: someone was smart enough to spray paint the hole number on every tee pad, which means all baskets and pads are easy to identify.

Cons:

Only 9 holes, and of those holes at least half are under 250'. No elevation changes. This is basically a pitch and putt course.

Other Thoughts:

This is about as perfect as a little pitch and putt course can get. It's hard to rate a super short 9 hole course higher than 3*, but this little gem has great infrastructure and a really fun layout. I highly recommend it as a quick warm up course if you're planning on heading to the nearby Sunnyside course in Atlantic, IA.
