Other Thoughts:
Coon Rapids DGC plays in the NW corner of the City Sport Complex on the NW corner of Coon Rapids, IA. A rather short city park course (only one hole tops 300') the elevation is the real story of the course. A decent use of the space, but makes for several blind shots over a slight ridge, I would have like to have had the map that I have now added. The #7 basket can be mistaken for #2, #5 is just over the sight line, #7 is also just out of the sight line. #9 is tucked behind a couple of trees to wrap things up. The lines are mostly open, but there are some trees to work around, keep under, or keep out of. For this novice, the elevation was a bit much, but the views from up top were lovely. A "reasonable" course for a small town park course. Fix and upgrade the signs and add concrete pads and this might get a full disc upgrade. Wouldn't hurt to add a bench or trashcan either. An OK place to learn the game, if you have the constitution for it. I would think about playing again, if in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
