Very difficult course (not for beginners!) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

There were 18 tee pads and signs with distance labeled (most had an A and B basket layout).

Shots lengths varied a ton throughout the coures.

Flow of the course was pretty good, not too hard to figure out where to go from one hole to the next.

So many skinny throwing paths with some thick woods to search in if you went off path (a pro or a con depending on the person)

Cons:

I wish I knew when I was teeing off if the basket was currently at location A or B on the map (many baskets in the woods aren't visible without walking the hole before throwing.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, be prepared to dig through some woods and weeds to find a disc with these narrow, long fairways... I had to pick a lot of weeds and sticky crap off of me after each disc search.

Other Thoughts:

I had a beginner playing with me (an advanced player) and they didn't have a great time with the long distances.

I also didn't throw a driver I loved a few times in case I couldnt find it after my drive.

Not a beginner course!

little rough as of now 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 19, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful property and what will be a great addition to Iowa disc golf. Good mix of shots you will find out here. Hole 1 is a great starting hole at around 300 ft pretty much wide open but a good hole to warm up. You get to open up your arm here and done really well imo. I wasn't just grabbing my favorite destroyer on the long holes and ripping it flat and hard. This course makes you have to shape some different long distance lines which I personally like. As well as long shots there was some great technical shots out here with some tight lanes to hit but very fair.

Cons:

Rough! This course is BRAND SPANKING NEW so this will be taken care of with more work and just getting more traffic. I would advise playing with another person cause the chance of losing a frisbee in the rough is possible. The prairie holes out here are done very well with what they had to use but probably 3 holes instead of throwing the intended tight route I was able to just throw up and over to avoid danger and card my birdie. Lastly there is 0 elevation changes out here.

Other Thoughts:

Good course, great addition to the area. When this course is completely finished it will certainly get a 3 1/2 rating from me but I don't see it getting much higher rating then that. Not a must play but not a course to pass by either.

I don't do reviews to often and pretty much only do them so I can give a course a rating. This one is certainly deserving of 3 stars and will most likely go up.
