Fun 9 Holer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 5, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

This was a fun course. I enjoyed the cement teepads, which were narrower than the standard teepad, but also longer. Plenty of room for a good run up.

Varied shot selection. There were some holes that finished left, some finished right. Good use of minor elevation change.

This course makes great use out of the obstacles and space available. Creative course design brings trees into play. The demanded lines golfers are expected to hit on this course are very reasonable. It's not heavily wooded, but not boringly wide open either.

Course plays along the Cedar River, which is a very real threat on a few different holes.

Shorts and longs, providing more options than most 9 hole courses have.

Very beginner friendly.

Cons:

From what I remember, the signage was mostly clear, but could have been clearer. There were no tee signs on several of the teepads, which meant that I didn't even know direction to throw on more than one occasion. With the openess of the park and the close proximity holes share here, it was often unclear exactly which basket I was supposed to be throwing at.

Other Thoughts:

This plays like an old school course. Feels like it was designed for play when discs didn't fly quite as far. Still fun, though.

Fun, with a few bigger problems. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 9, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

There a variety of shots, given the elevation and trees and Cedar River, which provides a threat on a couple holes and some nice scenery. Multiple tee boxes are nice. Also, permanent signs make this course much more well-marked than most.

Cons:

The park is very small, and the course is, not surprisingly, rather tight. A couple holes are close enough together to where an errant throw could hit someone on another hole. Given its location on the river bank, goose crap is a very real problem on a couple tee boxes. Also, the No. 2 basket was missing when I played yesterday.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a good effort given what this park was dealt, and I had fun playing a quick round there while in town for work. But it just has a few problems that make me a little lower on it than previous reviewers.
