Pros:
+Course is set in a nice park that plays around a pond, a park road thats OB, and in the woods with a creek running through.
+Elevation changes are present in the woods where the creek has created a valley which is played around. (4,5,6,10,11,12,14,15) However nothing too big, it does add a nice element and the challenge of sloped greens.
+The pond that is in play at holes 1,2,3,17 isn't that challenging to get around but it adds a little mental challenge and a nice scenic + to the park.
+Nice variety of hole shots. Straight, big hyzers, touch shots, anhyzers, rollers, flicks. Driver, mid, putter. Yes basically everything.
+Had a few par 4's that required some good upshots. Highlights were hole 6 which is a strong uphill L-R off the tee then another L-R upshot slightly downhill back into the woods. #14 was a RHBH hyzer into the fairway, then a big downhill L-R to get to the tucked in basket with the creek just behind.
+Creek is big enough to hold water and create an hazard, but not to big to swallow your disc.
+Baskets in good condition
+Two sets of tees that offered different shots
+Nice tee signs on both tee areas.
+Navigation wasn't a problem because of helpfull signs. I brought a map but didn't need it.
+Had a "fun" challenge level. Enough to make you come back but no "round breaker" holes that punish bad shots.
+Front and back 9 make a loop to parking lot
Cons:
-Amenities weren't the best. Natural tee pads that could get sloppy with rain. One bridge to cross the creek. No benches, no trashcans close.
-Poisen Ivy. Its present. Pretty bad in the woods. I would suggest long pants/socks.
-I would have liked to see a little more challenge from the pond. Personal yes but the pond could have added more.
Other Thoughts:
>This is a fun and enjoyable course. Has a good amount of variety and some highlight holes.
>Not the toughest course in the area. Red tees are beginner friendly and blue offers some more challenge.
>Didn't have a big wow factor. 6 and 14 were my favorite holes, but nothing else really stood out. This is what kept my rating back.
>So to wrap it up, I would say if your looking for a fun easy going round of DG this is a great place. For more challenge I would recommend other STL area courses like Jefferson Barracks, Carrolton, Endicott, or Souix Passage.
