Other Thoughts:
Joe Hoye Park hosts a reasonable DGC on the north side of Estherville, IA. A kind of long and narrow park along the Des Moines River, the only other thing here is a walking trail. It comes into play on most of the holes (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #8 and #9). Concrete pads are nice, signage is basic hole number and distance. Flow is a little clunky. #2 is up off to the left in the tree line from the #1 basket. #4 and #5 share a fairway by throwing at each other (not a problem on my round as I was alone here, but could be if busier). I see from other reviews that this area can potentially flood, but I see more potential in the area. There is unused space at either end of the park and looking at the map, there is even a pond that could have been brought into play along the south. It's an OK course in a small town, just misses some potential in the area. That said, I would still play here again, if in the area.
