Other Thoughts:

Davidson Park DGC plays in a small city park in the southern part of Osage, IA. The layout here really isn't all that bad. A small footprint is used well with some elevation and trees to work around. For a beginner course, the layout is OK. It does also stay away from the skate park. The accolades end there. These are the worst baskets I've seen (other than ones otherwise destroyed). The chains are weak, but the bottom of the basket has more large holes than the Detroit Lions defense. The basket will not hold your disc. A few have had some plastic mesh placed in the bottom to try to alleviate this, but rarely works. Homemade baskets can be fine, and the two other courses in/near town, the homemade baskets are playable (still weak on chains, but playable). Other issues are fairly standard, grass tees, minimal signage, and a few hazard issues. Get some standard baskets, add concrete tees and decent signage and you have a decent technical course, good for beginners and some interest for those with more experience. As is, this is not even worth the 20 minutes of your time. The baskets and distances are marginally better at Spring Park and Watertower Park (play them together for 18 - Watertower is numbered 10-18). Bag it, if you like, but I won't play here again.
