Pros:

-Nice baskets
-Good for beginners or a quick round. You are unlikely to lose a disc unless you toss it over the barbed wire fence so just be careful on that hole. The lack of traffic and great flow make you able to blow through a round. There is never any looking for the next tee pad or scouting for a basket.
-Many ace opportunities
-A few interesting tee shots, number 4 was a blind one around some conifers and 8 was blind down a hill and 9 was long.
-Good parking and nice bathrooms, this course is mowed often and I didn't see any trash.

Cons:

-It is pretty open, may be pretty windy.
-Could lose a disc over the barbed wire fence.
-Not a lot of elevation, a pretty flat park
-There are some big rocks in the middle of the park. I wish they would have incorporated them into the course somehow, like putting a basket right in the middle. That would have made for a signature hole.
-There is a walking path near some holes that you may have to watch out for and hole 9 shoots back towards the main park area.
-There just isn't much to challenge you on this course. Even if your drive is horrible you should be able to recover and get a 3 on any hole, unless your drive goes backwards. There aren't many obstacles and the course is overall pretty short.

Other Thoughts:

-This is one of those city parks that they didn't have much to work with but they did alright. I doubt that there is a better place for the city to build a disc golf course. This is a small town. I wouldn't go out of my way to play this course but if you are in town you might as well breeze through a round. If you are traveling to get here, play Adel or any of the big courses in Des Moines.

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well groomed, a few different shots required, not very busy, good use of existing land.

Cons:

A couple short, easy holes, borders a business with a barbed wire fence and some houses, limited parking.

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad course if you're in the area, but not worth traveling for.
