In a small town with not much else to do, the simple fact that it exists is a big pro. All of the holes except for #6 have signs, which were very helpful. The park grounds crew keeps it pretty well trimmed. There is a good mixture of long holes (#9 tops out at over 500 feet) and challenging holes (#6 and #7 require precision shots to get through the trees), with the character of both natural obstacles and man-made obstacles (such as the train caboose on #8). The cluster of trees at #5 is a lot of fun to try to work around, especially since you can approach the basket on the other side of the cluster from either direction.

The tee pads are way too short. They have rubber pads for every tee, but there's not enough pad to run up. I had to start well off the pad, which wound up throwing off my approach steps more often than I liked.

Some of the holes (#3 and #9 come to mind) have low-hanging tree branches right in front of the tee pad, making it exceedingly difficult to get off a decent drive, especially for longer holes. While the grass it trimmed very nicely, the trees need some work.

I played four rounds at 8:00 in the morning this last time through. When I first started no one was there, but as the morning progressed on, there were several times I had to wait for joggers/walkers to pass by. The course runs along the jogging/walking path. I could see this being an issue at busier times.

I'm not sure I would go out of my way to play this course, but if you're passing through Lamar or staying in town it's worth checking out. It's not a great course, but it's still a course that does provide some challenge to it. Play it several times if you do. I managed to improve my score each of my subsequent rounds on this trip.
