Pros:
Eau Claire's South middle school DGC is a step above the majority of WI school nines. Just barely, but we'll take it.
The baskets here are Dynamic Discs Veterans in the nice and bold red powder coating. I'm a fan of these baskets to be honest. They catch well enough and really stick out nicely in all types of terrain/foliage. All were mounted level and caught fine. One basket and pin position per hole.
The flow of the course was very intuitive once you found hole 1. Hole 1 starts by the western end of the school property you drove in on, on the south side of the driveway playing east. From there it's pretty much seamless flow ending by the parking lot. The course plays in essentially a counter clockwise fashion, excluding hole 1. Basically a big loop.
The tees are natural. Not the best but plenty serviceable for a shorter school course such as this. The grass is worn away on most but the surface is level. One "tee" pad per hole.
There's signs on all holes. Very generic but gets you from point A to point B. These feature a big, bold arrow pointing in the general direction usually (see cons) and the par. There's a QR code reader which may add other useful info, don't know personally because I didn't use this feature. Most baskets are visible from the tee anyway.
The course is pretty much wide open but they do incorporate some trees on the fringes of the wide openness to create a bit more challenge. Pretty nice design honestly for what was there to work with.
Cons:
The tee signs, where they still existed, were a bit strange. The big, bold red arrows point in seemingly meaningless directions on many if not most of them. The fact that the "tees" are pretty well worn at this point guide you in the general direction that you need to throw. The arrows don't offer much useful intel. Par is fine but distances would be more useful. Better than no signs whatsoever though.
The distances are a bit long for most, really all of, the holes for middle school aged kids. This seems like one of those courses that is designed to "grow the sport" but is really someone's slick idea to get a new course installed that cater's to adult disc golfer's. Or maybe I just don't throw real far. Or both.
The course is on school grounds so not playable during school hours. A con in the sense that it's very limited in playability most of the year.
Other Thoughts:
This is another course in Eau Claire. That's a good thing I guess. It's, what, the third middle school one here now? It's better than Delong and less exciting than Northstar. Delong is more holes though. It's a wash one way or another. Don't go out of your way to play here by any means. If in the area? sure, why not. It's a quick round. Zero replay value for most players reading this. It's a course though.
