- very hilly
- terrain well incorporated on all holes
- unique locally made baskets catch well enough
- good amount of technical challenge
- more open fairways but with tree obstacles and elevation
- hole number cut into metal on baskets
- area is mostly devoted to disc golf
- undergrowth is fairly forgiving

- tee signs have no maps; seem durable but very basic
- a little on the short side
- most wooded area/ravine could have added to course quality
- concrete tees are extremely small
- street parking only; not immediately obvious where to go
- hole 7 throws through picnic area and near walking path
- weird navigation backtracking between holes 8 and 9, and fairways cross
- hole 9 ends far from start of course
- park maintenance is just ok; fairways are combination of grass and weeds

Peru State College is an interesting course. On the one hand, it's a fun enough round with some extreme elevation change and a lot of decent challenge for such a short nine hole. On the other, there are basic tee signs, tiny tees, weird layout and navigation, and some safety hazards. I didn't enjoy this course as much as I thought it would, and without fixing some of the cons I couldn't score it higher.

There are definitely some merits here; while I wish they had incorporated the heavily wooded ravine which would have made this a way cooler course, it still has intense elevation change and some unique shots. The baskets are about the beefiest I've ever played, and I was a few inches from acing a hole here but went off the side of the basket. There are definite opportunities for birdies and aces with several holes under 200 ft (and some downhill at that).

Navigation could have been more clear here, the weirdest part being backtracking from hole 8 to hole 9, and then realizing these two fairways cross and hole 9 ends facing a dead end at the woods nowhere near the parking lot.

You can park on Neal St. on the south side of Neal Park where the course is located. There are not many notable amenities here and I would watch out for other parkgoers. Some of the terrain is a bit strenuous, particularly holes where you have to walk along the sides of hills rather than up and down. This is a pretty quick round and should only take about 30 minutes solo.

Peru State College is only a bit off the highway up to Omaha and looked more interesting than the nearby Ariens DGC. I wouldn't recommend going out of the way for it, but if you are passing by and like to break up those longer courses with a quick 9, I think it's worth bagging.

Surprising mix of hills and trees in an old growth park. What I mean by old growth is the trees are large and mature but there is plenty of room to play under them. There are some steep slopes which give challenge to the coarse as well. The last hole is a tight long straightaway that narrows to about 10 feet halfway down then expands back out to only 15 or so and was so challenging it ruined a lot of our scores. It was totally awesome.

Beautiful park with a deep stream and small pond as well as a sunken house foundation and old stone wall in it. Worth walking through even if not playing.

The first 7 holes wrap back around to the starting point then you need to walk past a pavilion to the next T which isn't visible. Once there the last 2 holes T's are almost side by side. You play one then walk back and play the other and both go away from the starting point.

Parking isn't well laid out.

We went to Ariens DGC in Auburn then to this one in Peru. Had a pleasant 18 holes and a really good time.

The baskets were made by Ariens in Auburn and need 1 more strip around the middle to keep discs from falling out through the sides.
