One of the shorter ones that I've played... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 6, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Ace runs for days. You could easily ace any hole on this course. If you play here often you should be able to get them all.
+9 baskets that all catch well.
+9 posts marked with holes numbers. Course is very easy to follow.
+Good course to teach kids/beginners.
+Nice overall park. Not much else here besides disc golf. Park is pretty small.
+There is a small creek that runs through the course. Provides a bit of challenge.
+You shouldn't lose a disc here or spend any time looking for lost ones.
+Play this course as a putter only round if you are an advanced player. Rounds here are quick!

Cons:

-Course is incredibly short and lacks variety of distance.
-Can be very windy.
-Not much for obstacles. There are a few trees here and there but they didn't really use them too well for obstacles.
-Natural tees.

Other Thoughts:

+This course is fine for a public park course. The designers used the land fairly well. This is a small park and could never produce a great course. With concrete tees, signs, and a perfect layout, they could maybe get to a 3.
+Madison has 3 small public parks with disc golf courses. They are all pretty vanilla. This one might have been the most fun due to the ace running. However, the best course in town is at Lake Herman State Park. The park does have an entry fee but the course is pretty fun. Madison is a good place for a course bagger with 4 courses in a small town.
+Thanks to the City of Madison for investing in disc golf, keep it up.
+Best holes: the longest ones. 4 is a legit disc golf hole with a fair amount of trees and close to 300 feet.

quick lpay in windy eastern South dakota 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to follow from basket to tee. The course is compact with basically short unimpeded holes. Nice course for beginners or those with not a lot of time. Or even those in Madison without many other options. The course is well maintained, clean and offers no surprises.

Cons:

Eastern South Dakota is windy and Madison is no exception. There is little break from the wind on this course. Holes lack variety, distance, and hazards.

Other Thoughts:

Good course for beginners.
