Great Beginner Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete Tee's (though a bit short, no run-ups necessary on this course)
Modern baskets in good condition
Signage at each Tee
Layout uses the minor terrain features available and loops back to beginning.
Well Maintained, difficult to lose disc even in the rough and no litter!
Practice Putting Basket with spiraling concrete stations

Cons:

Short holes. #4 is longest at 354 feet.
No real difficulties due to layout or obstacles, Holes 7 and 8 have narrower (50 feet or less) fairways bounded by drainage ditch on the right and fence on the left. No shot shaping necessary.
Some resort guests ignore signage and don't clean after their pets upon occasion, be watchful for animal feces as well as the rattlesnakes numerous signs will remind you of as well.
No benches or trash receptacles on the course.
No easily accessible restrooms on the course.

Other Thoughts:

Being at a RV resort, this is a great course to get both seniors and kids interested in Disc Golf. As a resort guest, I am unaware of any restrictions or fees required for the general public but encourage local players to visit and possibly create a beginners or introductory event, if possible.
Staying at the resort, it was nice to practice putting and/or throw a quick putter round to start my day. I made use of it daily during my week long visit.

Short Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 16, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Metal Baskets in good condition.
2) Concrete tee pads.
3) Tee signs at the beginning at each hole. They are clear on where to go.
4) Course loops back to the start. No crossing fairways, fairways are well defined.
5) Lots of camping spaces available.
6) Restrooms located near by.
7) It is located in the beautiful South Dakota hills.
8) It was not crowded, but we were here in the off Season

Cons:

1) Tee pads are a little short.
2) Course holes are short with with most averaging in the 150 ft. to 250 ft. range.
3) Although the course fairway grass is kept short compared to the surrounding field, there is A LOT of animal feces on the ground on the course.
4) No trash bins on course.
5) No benches (But the course is really short)
6) Elevation is pretty flat throughout the whole course. (Except hole two where you throw over a small valley)
7) Holes are not very challenging and do not require much skill to play.

Other Thoughts:

Over all I gave this course a 2 Disc rating. The course was a quick 9 hole that we played as we passed through. The course was very short with the shortest hole being around 140 ft and the longest was 320 ft. There were few if any trees on the course making the holes not very challenging when it comes to accuracy. If you are camping in the area its not a bad quick round to play with some friends, but if you have time, you should check out the other courses in the area. Oh and just a warning, there is A LOT of Animal Feces on the course! So watch your step!
