Eiserman Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 9, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a new, good public course in the Branson area which is a nice alternative to Sunset (which was almost completely underwater the day we played here). The course flows well, and it is pretty easy to find the next basket/tee. The only exceptions would be hole 3 (we accidentally threw to 4's basket initially) and hole 9 (which starts close to the parking lot, but ends in the middle of the park, necessitating a walk along the fairway back to the parking lot. No overlapping fairways. There is a large course map next to hole 1. Tee signs on each hole telling par, distance from short and long tees, and what the mando (if any) is. Mostly solid natural tees. Each hole has long and short tees. Baskets were in good shape. A decent variety of shots are required.

Cons:

Hole 1's tee was holding water (the other tees were solid, though (and this was just a couple days after a decent rainstorm)). Hole 5's mando arrow was pointing the direction opposite what the tee sign says (from the short tee it would be impossible to make the mando described by the tee sign. Hole 6's tee sign described a mando, but no such mando could be seen. A drainage ditch runs through the fairway of hole 4.

Other Thoughts:

This used to a ball golf course (called Don Gardner Golf Course; the current name is Eiserman Park) although I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't known that before coming here. Holes range from less than 250 feet to over 500 feet. Hole 2's pin is in the middle of a ring of fairly small trees and hole 3's pin is on a peninsula. There are two fairly small ponds that come into play on several holes. Holes 1 & 8 are par 4. I would say it's between lightly wooded and moderately wooded.

Fun course 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Very fun course. Good signage makes it easy to navigate. Good usage of trees, ponds and Mandos makes for fun and somewhat challenging holes. Nice mixture of shorter and longer holes.

Cons:

Hole one was pretty mushy but there had been a lot of rain just a couple of days earlier

Decent, but confusing 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Another Branson course that is free to play.
-OK teesigns (look at other thoughts)
-Decent quality, bright pink baskets (I didn't recognize the manufacturer, but Innova Discatcher-type baskets)
-Restroom/water available in community center located on the property.
-Short drive to Branson Landing

Cons:

-No maps
-Poor flow
-You might run into other (ball) golfers even though the (ball) golf course if almost non-existent.
-Poor drainage, with natural tee pads.

Other Thoughts:

Ok, this course interested me because I only knew Sunset Park as the only free course in Branson, but with no reviews, I was hesitant to even try this course. Easy to get to from Shepard of the Hills Expway, and plenty of parking in front of the community center. Hole 1 is located behind the shed along the treeline. I thought this course was going to be fantastic based on stepping up to the first hole. Tee signs were helpful, especially marking old golf greens and bunkers as hazards/ob, but they didn't have any distances. There are little, wooded sign posts about a foot off the ground that said par 3, 520 feet. I didn't think it was quite that far, but set up as a quality disc golf hole non the less. Duct tape posted on the basket's band pointed to hole 2. Here is where it got tricky. The tee sign for two was wrong, and where it was posted forced you to throw over 1's basket and you can only see hole 4?'s basket. There are more of those little wooden sticks ( supposedly alternate tee locations) next to another basket, and really all over the course with hole#, par and distance, but not exactly pointing to where you should be throwing. The baskets weren't marked with numbers, either. We ended up throwing to a basket twice, and one basket never got thrown to, just cause we were trying to figure out the flow. There are 9 baskets, but only 5 or 6 tee signs, and some didn't seemed lined up correctly to what you are looking at. Ponds come into play, and a drainage overflow swamp might come into play on 3???. The ball golf greens are just sand and weeds, but a couple of Bransonites came out to practice their chipping on to a "green" near 9's basket, so even though the ball golf course isn't really there, you still might see golfers.
-The baskets seem in decent spots, so a redesign isn't necessary, but a map and correctly updated tee signs would make this the go to course in Branson, but until then, good luck figuring out this course.
