Lots of fun to play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 15, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Fun lines
+ Good signage
+ Variety of shots
+ Well maintained
+ Good use of the trees

Cons:

- Shorter course
- Two holes share a fairway. Some other holes are really close.
- A bit confusing to find the next hole

Other Thoughts:

This course has fun lines to throw. As long as you find your way around and there are not other people then it will be a fun course to play. Other groups at the same time could cause issues.

Fun Park Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 8, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Nice baskets
+Concrete tees
+Signs that have distance and hole number. Baskets are in sight mostly so it is easy to find your way around. Great flow.
+Good mix of hole lengths. Some around 200, some around 300, nothing too long.
+Good mix of tree amounts. Some are pretty open, some are more wooded. One is a pretty tight alley.
+The course had a decent fun factor for me. It wasn't super challenging but you still had to hit your lines. There are ace runs on most holes. It was well maintained and quite a relaxing round in a sleepy city park.
+Shouldn't lose a disc here.

Cons:

-On the shorter side overall.
-Tees are short, they don't need to be much longer because the course isn't too long.
-Some holes are a little too open for my taste.
-Not much for elevation here.
-This course is in a floodplain and could be flooded in spring.

Other Thoughts:

+This course has a high fun factor and is worth a stop if you are in the area. It is slightly behind Okoboji Gold for top course in the area. It is a pretty quick play and doesn't look like it is busy often so you can get a quick round in.

Worth a round or three 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 16, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Secluded from town
well maintained public park
small play ground and shelter house with power
requires a variety of skill shots for birdies if playing all par 3's as we always do
Nice tees, although I would agree with a previous review...not aligned properly on all holes

Cons:

Spring flooding!!!
A bit buggy after flooding and stagnant water can remain on the course for quite some time after the flood subsides

Other Thoughts:

We have played this course with several variations based upon flooding and have found that using some o the tees for holes they were not originally intended for proved to be quite fun and challenging......just what I like in a quick round.
