Gibbs Memorial certainly makes the most of the acreage here. The front 9 is mostly open par 3-4 holes lined by prairie grass. Holes 4 and 6 tee off form a sizable sled hill that dominates the landscape. It's not explicitly stated anywhere here, but the local club website does state the prairie grass plays as hazard and on/across the walking paths as OB.

The back 9 is where things start to get technical. Holes 11-15 are short but require some precise gaps to be hit unless you want to take a trip to bogey-ville.

Almost every hole here will test your fundamentals. The course really rewards well placed shots and punishes mistakes if you play the tall grass as hazard.

A lot of the Mach X baskets are placed perfectly to encourage risk/reward play. 3 and 6 are both elevated. The baskets on the more technical holes are well guarded by trees. Hole 5's sits on a slope and mocks anyone foolish enough to run it as I can personally attest.

There are 2 tee pads for every hole but 6.

Holes 1, 9 and 18 are all right by the designated parking area.

There is also a "disc library" in the parking lot for people to try out the sport. There's a nice course map there as well and some information about the local club and disc golf in general.

Some next tee pad arrows would be appreciated. The layout is mostly intuitive but with 2 sets of tee pads it could get a bit confusing on exactly where to go.

The prairie grass makes things interesting but it's pretty easy to lose a disc in there. And it's not a lot fun slogging through it to find an errant shot.

There's really nowhere to warm up here.

Having played the course a few more times now there are some potential safety issues to be aware of. Hole 7's fairway comes into play on the blind approach for hole 5. Be careful around hole 3's basket as an errant shot from the top of the hill on 6 could land near 3's green. Also hole 11's fairway could come in to play if you're not careful with your drive on hole 10. I hate to criticize since I'm not sure how I could have designed it better but gotta call a spade a spade.

The concrete hog slat tee pads worked fine for me but may be too short for James Conrad emulators. The tee signs were hand crafted wood and are a nice touch.

Theres a small pond that could come in to play on holes 7 and 12.

This course is brand new at the time of my review and is really just a few amenities away from warranting a rating of 4. It's pretty impressive what the parks department was able to do with what was literally a corn field this time last year.
