Montezuma DGC is located in a city park on the west side of Montezuma, IA. This is a 9 basket with "18" tees set-up. 3A/2B use the same tee and 7A&B are the same, so really 16 tees. Take a pic of the map before you get started to keep headed at the right basket and the right next tee. Most lines are open, seems a few trees that were in place were lost in the 2020 derecho. Some elevation comes into play and you do need to watch your shot along 3, 4, and 7 to stay out of back yards (not a huge issue, just one to watch). The 18 to 9 format is a little strange for me, I understand utilizing the space and wanting 18 when you only have room for 9, but make a better 9 instead of stretching. Also, #9 is 2/3 of the way back and more than halfway across the course, making for a long walk back to your vehicle or to play the "back 9". Those 2 parts really knock the rating down for me. It's a serviceable 9 hole course, would play it if I lived in the area, but probably won't go out my way to play it again.
