Pros:
Brand new course in Southeast MO. It is very aesthetically pleasing, the surrounding park is gorgeous and the tee pads are as well. There are brand new Mach 5 pins that are extremely visible. There are a lot of hard dog legs (L&R), but still some straight shooters. Don't worry because there are still obstacles on these holes. The flow of the course is fairly simple to follow, I didn't get lost my first time playing it. The fact that it is in a county park ensures it will be well maintained at all times (shouldn't ever be tall grass!). It is a challenging course. (which is always good!)
Cons:
Currently there are only 12 holes. The existing holes are mainly out in the open, and in Southeast MO it gets quite hot during the summer (bring a lot of water). The use of pave-stones on the tee pads COULD be horrible for wet conditions (I didn't go as far as to pour my water bottle out on one to test them.). I do not believe there are more than one pin placement for each hole ( the course is brand new though so I am sure they will be figured out in the future.).
Other Thoughts:
I am not sure the pave-stones are slick when wet, I am just assuming they would be due to their texture, and we all know what happens when one assumes. Cape Girardeau is where I grew up, and I started playing disc when I moved to Columbia for college. So, it is nice to see something like this finally in my hometown (It should have happened a long time ago.) Once the course is completed I will return and re-review it (and see if the pave-stones are slick when wet.). Overall I think this could be one of the nicest courses in Missouri. I plan on playing a lot of other courses in MO this summer, but I think it will be hard to beat this one.
Played it again 1-26-13. I was excited to play the full 18. To my frustration, it was still only 12 holes.
