Some hazards, some potential
10 Helpful / 0 Not
Pros: -Baskets OK
-Some diversity in holes, mostly length
-Park upkeep appears good
Cons: -One way play, ends over 1/3 mile from start
-A bit confusing layout (added a map)
-Some holes play right through camping (#2, #3, #7)
-Hole #4 plays right through a volleyball court
-Natural tees
-Bare minimum signage
-More room on property could have been used for more interesting course, less hazards
Other Thoughts: Nations Bridge Park DGC plays through the camping area of this small county park about 5 1/2 miles north of Stuart, IA. Play begins at the east end of the park near the restroom. and plays most of the length of the camping area finishing at the west end near the shower house. #2 and #3 play right through camping areas, so watch your throws. #4 has a volleyball net right about halfway (I snuck just under). #5 is a sharp left U-turn and up the hill. #6 throws around another restroom and through a playground area. #7 could have an errant throw left go into another camp site. #8 and #9 could have water in play with very errant throws (behind #8 and along the right of #9). A long walk back to the start awaits the finish of your round. It appears that there is more room in the park that could have been used to make more interesting holes, keeping the hazard factor down and making more of a loop. As is, add better signage and concrete tees for a marginal boost in rating. A rather quick play, with a long walk. With the distance off the beaten path (I-80 is 6 miles south), you could bag this course, or skip it. I probably won't play again.

Nation Bridge Review

Pros: Layout is nice on most holes. Uses the entire camping park area.
Cons: Didn't like starting at one end of the park and going to the other end, then you need to walk back. Best to start in the middle of the course.

Decent course
1 Helpful / 0 Not
Pros: - Fun diverse holes
- Bathrooms on site
- Relatively straightforward course set up
- Very informative signs for the holes
Cons: - Course is in a straight line so you have to walk back to where you park from hole 9
- No Pads
- Hard to tell where the begining for hole 4 is on first play through
- Camp ground is all around course and if it were busy weekend it might be hard to play
- Par is a little high on some holes mostly all holes should be 3 except for maybe one
Other Thoughts: Decent course that if you were in the area might be good to play through once or twice.
