Pros:
-Baskets OK (Chains a little rusty)
-Concrete tee pads
-Decent mix of long/short, open/wooded
-Good course to work on technicals
-Mostly its own area (See cons for #1)
-Fairly quick round
Cons:
-Plays next to the local High School
-Long walk back from 9 basket to parking
-#1 plays right along parking and near pitching/batting cages
-Underbrush on 4-7 could get bad in summer (maintenance seems lax)
-Flow from #4 basket to #5 tee is a little wonky
Other Thoughts:
Sandy Dunes DGC plays in the backyard of the Eddyville/Blakesburg High School. The course begins near the baseball field and then up and over a sandy dune. 4-7 play short holes in a wooded area. 8-9 play up and down the dune again. #9 basket ends near the left field foul pole for a long walk around the baseball field back to the parking lot. The mix of open / wooded lends to working on different aspects of your game. The wooded holes are short, but mostly straightforward. I can see the underbrush getting brutal as the summer progresses. The open holes are the long ones with the only elevation coming from the sand dune. Signage is OK, but mostly a hole #, distance, par, crude line. Baskets were OK, but the chains were quite rusty. There are a couple of benches back in the wooded area, might need to wait for groups, if busy. As this appears to be on school grounds, probably should wait until after school hours (and around baseball activities.) A decent beginner course, would bore a pro. I can see the school using this course to introduce disc golf to students. A little out of my way, so I probably won't play here again.
