Pros:
-Baskets OK (see cons)
-Concrete Pads
-Signage OK (DGA "Peel n Stick" (TM))
-Front 9 through mature trees, back 9 more open
-Good variance of distance (168' to 464')
-Some elevation on the back 9
-Mostly stays away from other park activities (see cons)
Cons:
-Currently missing baskets #10 and #12, New tee pad in place for #11
-Walking path in play on #2, #4, #9, #10, #17 and #18 with a possible addition of a new path right down the #4 fairway
-Sewage lagoons OB, really only in play on #16 and not much there, but have to wait for city to pull your disc
Other Thoughts:
Miller Park hosts a nice DGC on the western edge of Sanborn, IA. An original 9 in the trees of the eastern part of the park opens up with an additional 9 around the ball field and soccer field and near the lagoons. Front 9 takes some shot selection to work through, with the short #8 having the most trees to work around. #10 opens up (if the basket was there, we shot to #11 which was close) and the back 9 open up distance and elevation with #16 atop the hill with a lovely view (even if it is the sewage lagoons). Finishing hole is the longest hole, a 464' par 4, the only par 4 on the course, with a basket on an "island" in the parking lot. We played on a quiet weekday afternoon, so other activities did not come into play, but I could see that as an issue, especially around a couple of shelters around #5 and along the edge of the soccer field for #17. Wind could also be an issue on that back 9, being as open as it is. #11 seemed to have a new tee pad, but its sign had yet to be replaced. The baskets for #10 and #12 were just gone. #10 could play to the #11 basket (wasn't far from what is on the map), but we skipped #12. Maybe these are close to being fixed, but that does hamper the rating just a bit for me. The sequence of #14, #15 and #16 seemed a bit disjointed. After #14, you climb the hill to shoot back down to #15, then a shot back up to the top of the hill for #16. Not sure of the best way to adjust this, but seemed strange. Fix #10, #11 and #12, maybe re-imagine #14, #15, and #16 and you'd have a solid 3.5-4.0 rating from me. An enjoyable round. Would definitely play again, if in the area.
