Don't go out of your way! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 13, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Easy to find your disks
HOI possible throughout the course

Cons:

Navigation is tough even though it is a small park
Too crowded with innocent bystanders
No latitude changes

Other Thoughts:

I spent my time finding this little park and played through a few times. It is fast and good for bringing the kids as a teaching opportunity....except for all the innocent bystanders.

TLC pls 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

well maintained
grass cut
bathrooms
hole 6 and 7 are fun for crushing some shots.
lots of locals playing and are pretty friendly.
real pretty park for other things to do.

Cons:

basket 1 and 9 are wrongly numbered
a few tee pads are missing
find basket 9 which is actually 1 and teeing off is up the steps at the amp theater.
look out for bikers and walkers

Other Thoughts:

If Mason City Parks and Rec were to spend a little money on this course it would not be that bad of a place to play. Couple tee pads added. Some paint or signs showing where to go.

Incomplete 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Found all the baskets
Well maintained
The concrete tee pads that are there are nice.
Holes 4-7 are fun

Cons:

Could not find tee pads for 1, 8 or 9
No signs for any holes (or the course) and the painting on the tee pads are faded or not existant.
Long walk from 4 to 5

Other Thoughts:

Add missing tee pads and signs I could probably rate this course in the 2-2.5 range.
On hole 5 cross the water before walking the length of the hole to the tee pad.
6 and 7 are under the bridge.
Water only seemed to be in play if your really shanked your shot, but the water looked shallow enough you should be able to fish it out and not have water go above your knees.

passing through town 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 21, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice looking and well kept park.

Cons:

Poorly laid out in my opinion, some holes are too far apart and since there are no tee signs or adequately labeled tees it is ver hard to navigate. We couldn't find tees for 2 or 3 of the holes. It also seemed on the last hole you throw pretty close to a parking lot and a gazebo (we couldn't find the tee for hole 9 but it seems wherever it is would be in the way)

Other Thoughts:

I would give it another shot on a nicer day, there was no one else there golfing so we had no one to ask directions.
