Looking forward to visiting again. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 7, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- A pair of 9 hole loops, which is super convenient.
- I played the course on a Tuesday morning and I was literally the only person on the course. I can't remember the last time I've been able to do that, especially on a nice 18 hole course.
- Fun mix of holes and shots.
- I really enjoyed the visuals on the back 9.
- Serves an array of skillsets.
- Easy to navigate. I went out by myself, didn't look at a map, and was able to figure it out. That doesn't always happen.

Cons:

- It was dry when I played, but this course seems like it would be unplayable after a few days of rain.
- The grass was REALLY tall when I played. I'm not sure how much of an issue ticks are in Nebraska, but I regretted not wearing long pants. It also made for some time spent looking for discs on shots that weren't terrible.
- I'm not sure if I missed some routes from Hole 12 - 17, but I don't see how this course can be described as cart friendly.
- Think twice about using that porta-potty on a hot day.
- The parking lot is very sports car unfriendly. The exhaust scraped on my lowered car.

Other Thoughts:

I rated it a 3.0, but that could easily be a 3.5 if I hadn't found the tall grass so unpleasant. I really only had 2 days to play disc golf while I was in Lincoln and I wanted to tackle East again, so that is a testament to East being a fun course.

The front 9 is a solid 9 hole course. Nothing really stood out. The back 9 is very unique. I love the visuals of the elevated baskets. I love the tight gap and the creek carry on 12 and the island hole on 13. Hole 16 was very intimidating with a narrow fairway between marsh and woods. I played with 18's basket tucked behind the tennis court. This course deserves a better finishing hole.

All in all, it was a fantastic way to spend a morning off.

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Cement Pads
Alternate Pads- Marked with Plastic Board
Not much for hazards ( could be someone's con )

Cons:

Tall Grass if not maintained can prove tough to find discs
No Signs for course direction ( last played July 2016 )

Other Thoughts:

I'm just glad Lincoln finally brought this course back from the grave, Roper West was getting a little old. This course requires more touch than Roper West.
