Pros:

Tower hill DGC is a pretty long and basically wide open 9 hole course in a tiny town. There's nothing but farm fields in all directions on three sides of the course so the wind will be the main challenge out here. There are a couple trees to contend with otherwise the course is just flat and open.

The baskets are beautiful red and blue Dynamic Discs Veteran's. These are about the best looking baskets on the market in my opinion. They're all mounted nicely and catch great. One basket and one placement per hole.

Concrete tee pads on each hole. These are all really large for a course this size and poured nicely. Awesome tees honestly. One tee pad per hole.

There's a course kiosk right by hole 1 with a full course map on it. You can always take a picture of this to use as a map which is nice to have for first time players. The flow of the course is easy to follow even without a map though.

The tee signs are pretty simple but effective. Basic hole map, hole #, distance and both rec and advanced pars. The best and most useful part is that they're easy to spot on the large posts.

Cons:

Very vanilla course. Just a bunch of wide open shots in a wide open field. There's not a single unique shot out here. It all just kind of blends together.

In the late summer when the crops in the bordering fields are up there's going to be a real chance to lose a disc. Especially with how windy it can get out there.

The holes are really long for a small city park course like this. The shortest hole is 248' but there's also five holes that are at least 400'.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a quick play if you happen to be in the area or travelling through. I wouldn't go any sort of distance out of my way to play it though. Very bland and forgettable course.
