Pros:
Hadar DGC is located in a tiny little park just north of Norfolk NE. The course plays around some other park activities and ends by wrapping around the softball outfield fence.
The baskets here are white DD veteran's. These are brand new and in excellent shape. No issues with these catching and they were all mounted nice and level. One pin position per hole. I'm a fan of these white baskets, they really pop out from a distance.
The tees are natural, well grass still for now with how new the course is. There's red (short) and white (long) pavers in the ground designating the two seperate tee areas. No issues with these pads.
The course features all holes in the 2-300 ft. range. There's some trees in play on many of the holes and the softball field can come into play as OB on three of the holes as well. Wind will generally be a major factor out here, it was pretty calm today so I didn't get to feel the full effect of it.
The tee signs have a nice topographical map showing the hole layout, hole #, par and distances from both tees, a next tee arrow and any applicable mandos and OB. Very nice for such a small town park like this.
The course starts and ends near the parking lot. The flow is pretty easy to follow for the most part, especially with the next tee arrows on the signs. Permanent and free to play.

Cons:
The two tees don't vary the hole that much on quite a few of the holes. Even the most drastic differences are only 30 or so feet.
The park doesn't really feel big enough for 9 holes. They managed to cram that many in there, but it's a stretch. Holes 2 and 3 and 5 and 6 play parralel to each other facing the same direction due to the lack of space.
Holes 3 and 4's baskets are practically in somebody's yard bordering the park. Hole 3's entire right side of the fairway also borders a farm field, which happened to be corn today. An errant shot could be lost fairly easily on this hole.
Hole 1 throws pretty close, though not over the playground and hole 6 throws over the volleyball court. I get that the park is probably never busy, but that also makes parts of the course unplayable if it is im use.

Other Thoughts:
This is actually a pretty decent little course for this small town. I'd be happy to have something like this near me, even with all the cons listed. Not worth going out of your way to play be any means, but it's a quick spin if you happen to be in the area or passing through. Worth a round at least, just don't expect too much out of it. Decent.
