One of Iowa’s Best.

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 4, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Newly redesigned by John Houck, this is sure to be one of Iowa's premier courses for a long time. Touting seven par 4's and a par 5, this course is sure to challenge, even the most seasoned player. Tight fairways, difficult gaps elevation and sloped green on almost every hole provides trouble everywhere you turn. Hole 1 and hole 3 might be two of the best holes in all of Iowa disc golf.

Two different tee pads per hole, with one basket location so far provides challenges for all skill levels. The shorter red tees play around 6-10 strokes easier than the longer, blue pads. The bright pink Chainstar Pro baskets are perfect for the quality of the course.

Cons:

No "permanent" tee signs yet, but the temporary ones are very good. The flow of the course takes some getting used to, it's easy to get lost between hole 4 and 5. It's also very congested with tee pads on top of the hill, with pads for 14, 16, 18, and 13's basket all within 100' of each other. Although the par 3's are good technical shots, they leave something to be desired in between the monstrous par 4's and 5's on almost every other hole.

Pros:

really its the best course in cedar rapids. since they modified the course to make it a lot longer. bring a new feel. they put in a new #6 witch is longer and a tuff drive off the tee. they also took #13 abd #14 and cabined them it to one long hole. making it a tuff par 3. they also made the new # 15 and pushed it back making it a over 600 ft. aslo #17 was push back and put on a small hill in the middle of the ravine. since they combined 2 hole they added a new hole witch is #18 and is a great hole tuff shot over the ravien with a little left to right bend to a elevated basket . great hole. the city of cedar rapids did a great job revamping this course making it long and more challenging (knowing it was kinda tuff before)

Cons:

they only a couple things that really sucks about this course.
it get muddy after a good rain and sincr it all pretty much in the woods it take a couple of
days to dry out in thr spring and fall and the stinky creek is nasty all the time so try to stay away from it.
the ont reall beef i have abut this course is that the #7 tee pad is at a angle. it slant up tord the basket really off setting urx step aproach. some day they will fix it.

Other Thoughts:

if u come to cedar rapids u must go and play this course if ur up for a challenge i live in cr and i play this course lots its worth playind.
Plus they open a disc golf shop next to the front entrance of the park. thank god it is about time.
