2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It has some nice shots with trees and other obstacles. It also has a couple of open shots, so the course has some variety. Good signs and concrete tee areas.

Cons:

The lack of a defined fairway is there, but not a real big problem. Also has an area where if you throw your disc in, then it is gone. It is a water treatment plant I believe.

Other Thoughts:

It is a nice 9 home course for the area if you are within 30ish minutes. Worth playing once, and on a windy day it can be decently challenging.

Solid niner 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 3, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

The usual:

Concrete tee pads (obviously added since the 2014 reviews), big map on park sign, good signage at each tee box.

Use of what trees were there.....

Memorable holes:
#1 Basket tucked in on right side, with tree line on right and couple of mature trees in fairway.

#3 Slight right bend throw under a canopy of branches to a reachable basket.

4- 6 are just open holes across the field

#7 Long throw to basket tucked away with solid tree protection.

#8 Throw through the trees to a slight right bend basket.... makeable line through the trees.

so all in all .... 5 baskets with decent elements, 4 wide opens...

Cons:

Bit of crisscross on some of the fairways.... 5 tee is further out past 6 then 6 crosses back over 5 to get to 7 tee..... Not sure why they did that.

No distinct fairways..... #4 basket on the edge of what would be #1 fairway.

Other Thoughts:

This was course #202.... just came here because it was somewhat close to where I was after a daughter's volleyball tourney.

Would not be worth the drive from any of the closest cities... St Louis, Springfield, Quincy, etc....

However, if I lived within 10- 15 miles of it, would make it a semi regular go to niner.... Enough challenges: distance, right bend shots, tree protection to make it worthwhile...

as it was I was out there near dusk on a Saturday and there were two other groups (a twosome and foursome) playing through.....
