Pros:

The course pars are set challenging. The holes are mapped out at the beginning of the course, and individually at each tee off.

Cons:

The worst thing about this course is the tee pads. They need cement tee offs!

Nice stop 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 22, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Holes are easy to follow.
Creative hole placements. Even the short holes are not gimme 2's
Very nice signs with maps. Very helpful for blind shots.
Well maintained.
Despite having prairie grass, there is enough room for a safe shot.

Cons:

tee pads- I mainly played off to the side of the tee pads because it looked safer.
Many of the holes favored a left curve, which plays great for my game, but could be annoying for LHBH or RHFH.
Prairie grass looked pretty thick. Looks like it could eat discs, but it only come into play on 3 holes.
May be too easy for advanced players but still fun in my mind.

Other Thoughts:

If you are anywhere near the area and want to do a quick 9 I would say this course is worth the stop. Very easy to find. I was able to finish the round in about 20 minutes, could have taken longer if i threw it in the prairie grass or by the stream. # 3 has the most potential to lose a disc, with a 20 yd fairway and tall grass on each #1,8 are very short but a lot of trees. #4,5 have blind dog leg lefts around prairie grass. #6 is about 300 to the big pine tree and the hole is on the other side.
Overall I'd say good for a nine holer

One Fine Nine 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 23, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Quiet, peaceful setting in a small town park. Tee signs on 4 x 4 posts indicating diagram and distance of hole. Grass was freshly mowed. Creek borders left side of fairway on holes 2, 3, and 4. Native prairie grass borders same 3 holes on the right. Camping close by--campground actually connects to course via bridge over creek to # 5 tee. Nice variety of shots required as final 2 holes have mature trees as obstacles. 2 longer holes to air it out. Small trash receptacles attached to posts for tee signs. Bathroom in park with small play area for the kids.

Cons:

Grass tee pads. Really no elevation change to speak of.

Other Thoughts:

This course ranks as one of my favorite 9 holers. 2 miles off of I 35.
