Credit Island DGC is one of the more unique courses I've played to date. Not necessarily in a good way though. It plays on and "island" right along the Mississippi river. The first three holes feature sand fairways before moving onto solid ground for the final 15 holes. The course is mostly open and totally flat but there are some trees in play after the first 3 holes at least.

The baskets are Mach II's that have been spray painted yellow at some point. The paint is fading quite a bit but they still stand out pretty well with what's left on them. One basket and pin position per hole from what I could tell.

Concrete tees that are all level and of a decent length. One tee per hole. These get the job done just fine for the most part.

The flow of the course is pretty simple once you find hole 1. I didn't need to check the map once when playing here. The course starts and ends pretty close to the parking lot too, which was nice.

The course plays on the longer side for the most part. Nothing real crazy, but the holes range in length from 246' up to 868'. There's only 3 holes under 300' here. This is fine with the mostly open nature of the course.

The fairways were recently mowed when we played it. That may not always be the case though. I'd advise checking recent course conditions before playing here. I'll review it as I seen it though, and the conditions were solid for me.

The tee signs are in rough shape. Most are illegible from what I would assume is being underwater for large portions of time. Basically useless for more than half of them.

Speaking of being underwater, the course will be in the spring and after a lot of rain since it's on an island. This leads to messy conditions throughout. For example a number of tee pads were half covered/caked in sand and mud. It also makes mowing out here a whole thing. I'd assume that's why the course is an overgrown mess so often.

The first three holes in the sand are awful. There's no mowing these fairways so it's just weird beach plants and terrible footing. The rough off the fairways on the rest of the course is thick, thick stuff. Losing a disc here is quite possible, almost assured even.

Very repetitive after about 6 holes. Feels like yo're playing the same hole over and over. Very little variety here.

If the course has been mowed recently it's not a terrible place to play. The maintenence seems hit or miss though. We lucked out on that aspect it sounds like.

I wasn't a fan of this one. But if you want something flat in this area, and open, this one fits the bill. Check the conditions before you go though.

The course plays through a nicely maintained park in what was apparently an old ball golf course. There is some nice length here, plenty of chances to air out a long drive or lay down a roller on the nice short grass. Mature trees come into play on some holes, with a couple low ceilings and some pins with trees guarding the approaches.

There are nice views over the river on several of the holes, and the park is groomed nicely. The concrete tees are in good shape and offer plenty of room on the longer holes. The signs have hole number and distances to all the pin placements. The alternate sleeves offer big distance differences on most holes and some different lines on some.

The course is very open, with length as the main source of challenge. That gets pretty repetitive, with a wide open drive on most of the holes, and either a basic upshot or another wide open drive after that. The trees don't come into play except on shots that go way off course.

It's cool to have so many alternate pins to change things up, but too many of them feel thrown in. There is often one of the placements that is more interesting and the others are just stuck out in the open to add "variety". The signs have distance, but no marking on which pin placement is in use or what the layout of the hole is. With how open and long this course is, that can make it a little difficult at times to know exactly where to throw.

This course offers a great place to practice distance, but doesn't really test other skills. Experienced players who want to work on big drives or rollers will appreciate this place for that, but otherwise it's not an exciting or interesting set of shots. Beginners will find the course long and not all that interesting, throwing several open drives as a new player gets old quick.
