A Good Course 2+ years drive by

Updated:
Played on:Oct 13, 2012
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
-concrete teepads on all holes
-nice signage
-tall white post (6'-7') next to every teepad--easily seen from the previous basket
-logical flow--easy to go from hole to hole since the post nearest the basket shows the next tee.
-tee pads in line with each basket so that you can pretty easily spot which basket you're throwing to.
-great variety of shots--keeps it interesting
-baskets in good condition
-numbers on baskets,though not readable from a distance
-lots of varied elevation
-lots of mature trees that shape the holes

Cons:
-many shorter holes (180'-300')--only a con if you don't like that. 5 holes with distances of 300'-400'+, though none at 500+.
-baskets seem a bit tall and the gap between the bottom of the chains and the top of the basket portion is inconsistent from hole to hole--sometimes oddly large.
-tee pads are short--maybe 8'. This is not a problem for most of the holes, or any of them if the ground is dry behind them...
-a few trash cans in the park, but none at the tee pads (haven't been there in a while)

Other Thoughts:
-signage has been added since I played last and by the pics, they look nice.
-I listed "mostly short holes" as a con because I'm used to shorter holes being higly technical at my home course, Wilbur Young DGC. I will say that the holes with greater distances were very fun to throw.
-Beware the gully on the fairways of 4, 6, and possibly 7. I lost one and found [a different] one on 4. There were dark pools of water in it when I played.
-I used to have a friend who lived here and looked forward to playing it every time I visited. Sadly, I will probably never play this course again, unless I take a DG road trip to that area of Iowa. It's a bit off the beaten path. Still, it was fun in the middle of winter and it was fun with every tread under my shoes filled with mud after a rain.

Played the course:once
Pros:
-Looked like they were in the process of installing cement tee pads, where there in half the holes and were putting one in as we were playing.
-Had a variety of holes using the elevation and the trees in the park.
-Has a couple holes where you can air it out
-Baskets were in good shape (red instead of yellow top)
-Plenty of shade

Cons:
-Hard to find a few tee pads because the steaks are small and there are no signs. We had to guess at the distances
-17 is close to the public pool

Other Thoughts:
It looks like they are in the process of upgrading the course. If they add signs I'd move this to a 3.5. Get ready to go hike on some hills because you will walk up about 5 hills and one is steep. I would definently play this course again, but I dont see myself going near Centerville anytime soon.
The basket for hole 5 was hard to see, it was on top of the hill to the right by the trees
