LOTS Of Length -and- Wind 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Sep 30, 2011
Played the course:once
Pros:
-This Course is on (As Its Name Suggests) Credit Island, which is pretty much surrounded by the Mississippi River.
-The wind was "howling" at 30+MPH the day we were there making distance for my 872 rated arm difficult at best.
-Some of the nicest Concrete Tee Pads I've ever seen with the hole numbers stamped right into the basket end of the concrete Tee Pad.
-At least 3 pin positions per hole with LOTS of variety there.
-NICE Green Powder-Coated DGA Mach 2 baskets. I am kind of puzzled with the choice of the Green Powder-Coat because we had a hard time seeing where the baskets were because they blend right in with the surrounding (Green) grass. The Orange Powder-Coat would have been much more visible and a better choice for this course IMHO.
-Several signature holes

Cons:
-Seeing the baskets to tell which pin position they are in.
-A few Tee Pads with Goose crap all over them, not much you can do about that on the Mississippi Flyway, it was theirs before it was ours..

Other Thoughts:
-Even with the pretty big length of this course (the hole "average" is 495 feet) it was still a BLAST to play and I would play it again.
-Come up with some kind of system to tell which pin position the basket is in from the Tee Pad. It is not that big of a deal on a lot of the holes for me because I'm just hucking it up the fairway as hard as I can for at least the first shot or two (my arm is still sore), but, there are several holes where it definitely makes a difference where the pin is at...

to the Quad Cities Disc Golf Club for yet ANOTHER GREAT Course...
