Not Bruce Smith Quality 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

+9 baskets that caught better than they should have.
+9 signs that were adequate enough for this course.
+Nice overall park that is the pride of Bruce, population 224.

Cons:

-Most holes were too close to other park activities. 1 and 2 basically play over/through the cool, wood playground. 3 and 4 were ok but caution needed if the ballfield is being used. 5 had awkward lines that will make many players throw over the outfield. 6 and 7 are ok. 8's basket is too close to the horseshoes, mini playground/cage thing, and dugout. 9's basket is right by a building. Just dangerous.
-Baskets are homemade or super cheap and single chained. Not sure how they were installed but they are all leaning.
-No elevation on this course.
-Overall, pretty short distance. Only 8 seemed to be long at all.
-Natural tees

Other Thoughts:

+In all reality, there's not room for a DGC at this park or anywhere else in Bruce. That's ok. Better to not have a course than to have one that is dangerous.
+Pretty low fun factor for me. Awkward, forced lines or just open and easy. Man made obstacles.
+Don't come here unless you are a course bagger. Play Larson park in Brookings, it's fun.
+It's not too hard to figure out but the course plays on two adjacent parcels of land. 1-2 are on one part and then 3-9 are by the ballfield.

Credit for Trying Only 2+ years drive by

Pros:

The layout is easy to follow, with signs that tell you what you need to know. Park and playground equipment make passable obstacles.

Cons:

No tee pads. If there are any other users at the park, there will be conflict. Holes 1 & 2 go right around (thru?) a kids play area, as well as crossing fairways. Holes 9 runs right thru the concession area for the ball field, and crosses the #8 fairway. Other holes will have lesser conflicts with non-discers.

Other Thoughts:

A short course that should be visited only if you are course bagging. If you are in the area, skip this one and head over to the Oakwood Lake State Park course just a few miles to the west.
