Pros:
-Passable interest with some elevation and some trees.
-Layout is acceptable (with the exception of #5, see below)
-Baskets are OK (Rusty chains, but OK)
-Water slightly in play on #6 and #7
Cons:
-Tees are no more than a short post with a hole #. No longer any mulch.
-Tee post for #1 missing
-Hole #5 plays right through a playground area, you can try to shape your shot, but...
-Along the #7 fairway seems to be a popular fishing spot.
-No benches, one trash dumpster near #1 tee
Other Thoughts:
Foster Park DGC is located along the Iowa River in the western part of Iowa Falls, IA. A basic park 9-hole course, this looks like it could be something more. The chains are rusty, no real tee pads or tee signage. Some trees and a bit of elevation add to the interest along with a couple of holes (Shooting toward #6 and along the right side of #7) playing near the river. Hole #5 could be scary if there are children playing in the playground as the line plays diagonally right through. Refreshed baskets (or at least chains), concrete tee pads, some decent signage, and a re-design on #5 would really add to rating here. It is a "what could be" type of course with some help. Would probably not play here again unless I hear of changes.
