Surprising course. Worth the day pass 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The elevation change is surprising, given the general topographical experience in Nebraska. Great uphill holes, downhill holes, valleys, etc. Really juiced the land of its potential.

Pretty private. Played two tournament rounds and one casual, and only ran into two players that weren't involved w/ the tournament.

Tee signs are both really clear, and accurate.

The holes are always challenging, but fair. I never felt like it was a gimmicky hole.

Cons:

Tees are JUUUST short enough to not allow a reasonable runup. It usually isn't a big deal, but the tees are elevated, so for a satisfying run up, you have to jump up.

Homemade baskets aren't ideal, but these are some of the best I've ever played on. Still could use a solid upgrade, though.

The shooting range right next to a couple of holes isn't awesome. Seems to be as safe as possible, but still weird to just be walking next to a shooting range.

Other Thoughts:

They have camping available right next to the holes. I might rent a cabin and stay there, so I can walk right out to the course!

Great Course in NW Nebraska 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is nine holes and is a great one for beginners. Most of the holes aren't the longest, but do provide decent obstacles such as trees, water, and roads. There are also some great elevation changes along the course.

Cons:

The last two holes on this course are the biggest problems for me. Hole 8 is a graveyard for discs with all of the shrubbery. Even if your disc is visible, the steep hill makes it hard to retrieve. The path to go on the fairway is not clearly marked either (it is to the right, not straight down). The river on 9 can sweep away a disc. Some tees are not clearly marked and in poor condition.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course if you are new to the game or just driving through. There is a small fee to get in, but you can also enjoy the park's scenery as well. This is a course I would recommend and play again!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very scenic course located in the pine ridge. Entire course was redesigned in September '13. Nice mix of shot types and challenges. Intelegent lay out with Signs pointing the way from basket to next tee. Hole 8 is definitely an "empty your bag" tee. By far the best course in the panhandle.

Cons:

Home made baskets with very heavy chains. They will spit your discs out. That said, they are some very nice looking baskets especially for home made. Dirt tees and tee signs could use a little work.

Other Thoughts:

The park has plans to extend to a full 18 holes. Please come out and show your support and ensure they add the back 9.
