Pros:

9 hole course set up in a rural park outside Palmyra, WI.

Dual Mach 3 permanent baskets at each hole. I love that this is becoming more predominant in WI. All mounted well, and caught as expected. Some nice pin positions on or near hills that can cause rollaways.

Good use of the elevation here. Many of the holes play up and down or across the rolling hills. The descent on hole 3 is a bit precarious, though...especially if it's icy or muddy.

Decent signage, with both pin distances shown. Sometimes a bit of scouting is needed, but nothing major. Navigation was pretty simple, as the course had a good flow to it. Bag hooks at each hole was a nice touch.

Decent use of the available trees. This course isn't super difficult, but several of the holes require a somewhat accurate shot. The distances aren't overly long, either, but they aren't uber short.

Cons:

There's not a lot of bomber type holes here, if that's your bag.

Gravel tees, one per hole. I'm just not a huge fan of gravel, but they were decent enough.

A couple of the holes are pretty short and open. Hole 2 comes to mind.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, this is a fun intermediate level course. It's kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but with two sets of baskets, it has some replay factor, and you could definitely do worse in this part of the state. It's one of those courses that's just a little too far from me to go hit often (if at all), but if you live nearby, it would make a solid part of your course rotation.
