Sufficient Practice Course @ Best 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- The park area itself is a nice recreational area

Cons:

- Baskets are Innova DISCatcher but are poorly maintained. (Chains are very rusty and a couple baskets are broke.)
- No info or markings whatsoever. (No maps, par info, distances, ETC...)
- No real tee boxes present

Other Thoughts:

I have played this course in the past and it has been in this shape for awhile. There is some serious potential for the course and I don't think it would take much money or effort to really make it into a fun 9-holer. In all honesty that's a lot of the reason I have given it just 1 of 5 discs. If you need a couple practice hole to play before you head up to Baraboo Lions DGC, it might be worth the stop.

Disappointing... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 27, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ There are baskets (well 7.5 of them)
+ Pond in center of park makes for a few interesting shots
+ The island hole (the signature hole... if you can all it that) is unique
+ Small course in a small community may introduce some to disc golf (also see cons)
+ Not even a full block off of highway 12, making the "course" very easy to locate
+ Convenient store next door to park
+ Fair use of the few trees on the "course"

Cons:

- A couple of baskets vandalized, one completely unusable (see pictures - sadly, the most interesting flight lanes on the course end up at that very basket)
- Very small course in a small park
- Largely lacking interesting holes/shots
- no real tee pads - just rocks placed throughout the park marking the proximity of where you should throw from
- No signs or hole numbers on the (Innova) baskets, making navigation very difficult
- Although there are some trees here and there to contend with, it does not often affect the line of throw

Other Thoughts:

By the looks of the course, it appeared the townsfolk may not really know (or appreciate) the sport of disc golf. Sadly, I wonder if this "course" may be more damaging in showing new players to the sport than a positive introduction to it. If this were the first course I had ever played, I may have dismissed disc golf entirely equating it to no more than a game of safe lawn darts. Although the size and layout of the park will always limit the courses potential, hopefully someone in the area may take an interest in keeping the course presentable.
