Jim Simpson Memorial DGC at Olen Park is a nice little nine hole course. This is my second time playing here, the first time was years ago, and it's still as good as it was the first time.

The park terrain is completely flat and lightly wooded. Enough trees to force you to execute shots and pick proper lines, but no poke and hope style holes either. Good, solid design to incorporate 9 holes here without interfering with other park activities. Very well done.

The baskets are newer than the last time I was here. I don't remember what they used to have, but they currently have beautiful blue powdercoated Mach's that look really sharp. These catch nicely and are all mounted level. Really enjoyed these. One basket and placement per hole. Zero issues with these.

Natural tee pads that have a garden paver type of deal serving as the front end of the tee on most holes. Basic as can be but serviceable for the most part.

Hole 5 is the signature hole. Not a long one, but it requires a drive across the river to a pin tucked up into the woods on the opposite bank. Very scenic hole. My noodle arm layed up, threw a bad shot to cross and bogied it. Very tough two to get. Especially as a righty with no sidearm. There's a cool suspension bridge to get you to the other side of the river. Just a cool hole that doesn't really fit with the rest, but in a great way.

There's tee signs at every hole. All metal signs with the basic info. Hole #, par and distance. Better than nothing and helps with locating the next tee since they're natural and sort of blend in with the rest of the park.

The course starts and ends right by the parking lot. There's also minimal walking between holes. The walk from hole 1 to hole 2 is the longest and it's not even that far. Hole 1 starts on the north side of the park road before crossing over to play the final 8 on the south side of that road (besides hole 5). Seamless flow. There's also a nice large course map at the kiosk by hole 1 if you don't have a map.

Permanent, very clean and probably never busy DGwise. Pretty little park with the river in view on a couple of holes.

The tee signs are not the best. They have the basic info but you need to get your face right up next to them to decipher the info. They're just silver circles from even a few feet away on most. The pics I took will help explain my point better. Keep in mind I took those pics from about a foot or two away with a smart phone camera and that's what you see. They appeared to have soldered/welded a textured part to the hole #'s on a few at least.

A few of the tee pads are starting to show their age. They have been in the ground for over a decade now. With pads like these they tend to extend in various directions off the original area due to getting rutted or retaining water. Not a huge deal when dry. When wet they'll be puddles.

A little tree trimming could/should occur on the far side of the river for hole 5. At least to open up a little window. It's a bit poke and hope as is currently.

Back to the tee signs. A number of holes play near each other so it is easy to walk to the wrong tee. I almost missed hole 5 because of this, with it being on the other side of the road. Didn't even realize it until I got up to 6's basket.

Fun little course. The best of the bunch by Clintonville from what I remember. This was the only one I chose to revisit when swinging thru here fwiw.

Not a must play but an average to slightly above average (due to hole 5) nine hole. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself out this way. And for being kind of in the middle of nowhere, there's actually a couple other solid options nearby in Marion and Dream Big. Good course that's starting to show it's age a bit but still damn fun.

Course in in great shape, baskets are in great condition, catch the discs nicely.Very quiet here, rarely busy.

Tee Pads are trash

I've heard rumor of cement Tee Pads and more Baskets to come but still waiting to see all that

One of the better courses in the local area but that is more due to lack of options. Good use of what trees are in the park to force shot-making on a few holes. The park tends to be well maintained in general. Facilities and parking are easy to access. Tee signs are unique and were made by the company previously owned by Jim Simpson, who the course is named in memory of.

Currently the course has natural tees. Concrete tees have been approved and will hopefully be installed in 2018. While there are mature trees on the course, there is no real penalty for missing the intended flight path due to the wide open nature of the park. Navigation isn't the most obvious the first few times there but if you wander around you'll find the tees you're looking for. One hole plays over the river but due to the trees on the opposite side of the water, you'll want to be very accurate of the your disc is may well bounce off the tree limbs and into the river.

This is really the classic example of a city pitch and putt course. Par 27 should be expected with good chances of a lower score and potential ace runs.

Very open. Great course to test new types of shots and test new discs. Very great to learn the sport with interesting shots for more experienced players as well.

The tee pass aren't the best. Maybe rubber mats or concrete pads. If the tee pads were fixed this would be an excellent course. Also hole number 5 over the river can cause problems with not gettin wet. However the river is low and can be waded through

Overall great course with my only complaint being about the tee pads. Im from Michigan and this has shown Wisconsin also has some great courses to see

Easy to navigate short course with well thought out technical holes.
Great place to try new discs or shots, very difficult to loose a disc except for hole 5 which shoots across the creek but even that is wadeable 90% of the time.
Good variety of shots and shot choices.

Tee Pads!... there are non. Some nice cement pads would be easy to install (could drive to each tee box) and make this course so much better.

The course is getting more play and the tee boxes are starting to look like holes in the ground. Tee 2 has a couple exposed roots now that are right where you want to be. Tees 3 and 4 are often are slick even if the course is dry which is a problem since both are intended to be anhyzer shots. Tee 8 is generally dry but be careful in the fall due to acorns, I have seen them put more than one player to the ground haha.

I play this course a couple of times a week (3-4 rounds at a time) because it is close to home and fun for kids, beginners, and more advanced players to all play together.
Also, a great course to play putter only and really hone in your technique for more experienced players.

A beautiful park with old trees and very well-kept fairways. The baskets are all new DGA, the tee areas are ok so far, and the signs are very nice. It helps that all the signs are facing so that when you read them you are looking down the fairway for the hole. The lines are tough but fair, and use the trees very well even on the shorter holes.

The tee signs are engraved silver, so they are hard to read until you get up close, navigation isn't a problem though, if you see a tee sign that will be your next hole (with the exception of hole 5, which you backtrack a little to throw over the water).

For a 9 hole course this one is very nice, it is not a "9 under" easy pitch and putt and you may expect, but it is accessible to a wide range of players and I really enjoyed playing it for the first time. There are other park pathways, benches, pavilions, but the course layout and a little common sense on the golfer's part will keep everyone safe. Thanks to everyone who helped out and made this course a reality.
