Beautiful course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 26, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Beautiful setting near community lake. Pave stove tee boxes. Granite Hole Monuments that include arrow showing direction of next hole. No big arms required. Nice variety of holes. Wide open, slightly wooded, heavily wooded and dog legs.

Cons:

A couple of the holes are still under construction in the wooded area and are not easy to find or play. If you skip them there are still 12 holes left. Lots of grade changes (hills) that can wear you out.

Other Thoughts:

About 6 holes are wide open.
another 5 hug the woods line.
the other 7 are through the woods and under construction.

All par 3 holes. Restrooms on site.

Good mix of wooded and non-wooded 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 28, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. Really nice concrete tee pads with granite tee signs
2. Chances for birdies and outside chance of aces on first few holes
3. Great variety of wooded holes after their first stretch of open holes
4. Course flow is overall very good
5. Great use of terrain and elevation changes
6. good risk reward shots
7. options to play different types of shots on the same hole from the same layout.
8. great use of distance and par's even though they are all 3 there are some easy ones some middle ones and some hard ones but yet all are parable if you make good shots.
9. very cool holes with many signature holes. for awile you go from one great hole to the next without any wasted holes
10. super nice park
11. not many spots to lose discs even though its a challenging couse
12. great mix of all different kinds of shots and a chance to lose alot of discs in your bag

Cons:

Man i really cant think of any. maybe that its on the opposite side of where most of the stuff is at in the town lol

Other Thoughts:

This course has it all! This is a course everyone will love no matter whether your a rookie or a novice or a pro. It's one of my favorites. I travel from about an hour away and try to play it atleast every month or two.

About Time CGMO! & great job 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 25, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

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.
