Well Maintained Fun Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 5, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-The park is well maintained and the disc golf course reflects it. Fairways are mowed and trees are trimmed. Access to bathrooms and shelters as well. Plenty of parking
-Nice teepads and baskets
-Mix of wooded holes and open shots
-Generally pretty empty
-Wooded shots offer tough lines, but aren't long enough to cause terrible trouble if you get off the fairway
-Easy to navigate for the most part, no long walks to next tee
-Hole 1 is a nice 200' tunnel shot, great way to start the course. The course then goes into the open field for the middle several holes before winding back into the woods.
-19 holes that flow naturally. You can basically start on any hole with no break in play.

Cons:

-Basically only 2 types of shots, 300-500' wide open fields and 150-250' wooded
-Pars are generous, 500' par 5 for example. Pars match a beginner's skill level
-Open field can get very windy
-Plenty of thorns in the wooded roughs, especially in the summer

Other Thoughts:

This is the only course in the general area, but is definitely worth a round. The course can feel a bit repetitive after a bit, but doesn't take long to play. It is about 10 minutes off of I-70 so if you find yourself going through the area with an extra couple hours take a quick detour. The whole course took 1 hour to play solo. I parked by hole 6 and started there, but there is plenty of parking and easy starting points. While in town stop by the Dairy Castle for a vanilla coke or Marvin's Diner for a Garlic Cheese Burger.
