+Nice Mach X baskets. All there and all in good shape. Have number plates installed and facing the tees.
+Nice concrete tees. Long enough for the shorter holes. Could be a bit longer for some of the shots.
+Signage is full-color, informative and seems accurate. You will need to look at it to make sure that you are aiming for the right basket a couple of times.
+The park is big, fairly well maintained, has camping, bathrooms, water fountain, etc.
+Some fun shots like 9 which plays towards the pond and 10 which goes over the pond. 11-14 play in some big trees at the edge of the park and don't intersect any other holes.
+Longer than most park style courses. Averages just under 300 per hole. Not a pitch and putt for sure.

-Look at the course map and tell me that 3,4,5 and 16,17s layout is the strangest thing that you have seen on a DGC. I have seen some moderate hole overlap and some tight quarters but this is another thing all together. Combine that with the fact that there is also a sand volleyball court, walking path, baseball field, and playground in the mix and it gets ugly. Dangerous. Works ok if you are the only one in the park but barely playable if you are not. Be careful.
-Hole 10 is a cool water shot but also plays way too close to a shelter.
-I could write a book on safety related cons to this course but I won't put in any more. They really seemed set on having 18 holes here when 12 would have been great.
-As noted above, tees are ok size but some of the 350+ holes could use a bigger run up.
-Could lose a disc on 9-10.
-Pretty minimal elevation.

+Overall, this course is solid. I played on a weekday during the day and it was fine for me. It is a small town so maybe the safety issues aren't too bad. Number one takeaway from this review is to be careful.
+I'd play here again for sure. Probably around the same time if possible.
+A common theme in my reviews is that a simple redesign could be very beneficial. The land here is nice. They have opportunity with the big trees and the pond. The only big con is the safety issue. This park could be a 3.5 without those issues.

About the only pro about this course is that it has nice baskets and tee signs.

The con's about this course are enough to warrant it being pulled in the short term.

1. Baskets right next to kid's playground equipment.
2. Baskets right next to or require you to throw over and around the picnic shelters.
3. A lot of the fairways cross other fairways. Your head needs to be on a swivel out here in order to not get hit by a disc.
4. No real good parking situation.
5. Tee pads are too small

This course should be pulled until it can be redesigned into either a 9 hole course or so that it removes the plethora of dangers to the public using the park.

better course than any in sioux city. its about a 20 minute drive from s.c., but worth it.
-a few ace runs
-lots of trees to navigate
-never busy
-bogies are out there, but so are birdies
-can attack most holes from different angles, so fair to right and left handers.
-nice signs, decent tee pads.
-always manicured, nice park setting

-no elevation change at all
-if it rains, puddles up a lot, and you dont always see the puddles
-not necessarily bad, but trees are low hanging forcing many low throws
-not necessarily bad, but wind can make it no fun
-city park setting, picnic area, childrens playground, walking paths and camping definitely come into play, though it is not very busy very often.
-3 holes are very difficult to find your first few times playing.
-they built a new playground within 10 feet of the 17th basket. absolutely horrible idea. a little kid is going to take a tee shot to the forehead. it is inevitible.
-there is a problem with parents parking their cars on tee pads and on the course in the evenings during baseball games. ruins about 2-4 holes.

the challenge of breaking par on this course makes it really fun. it is possible to go low here, but as soon as you get cocky, it jumps out and gets you.
would be fun to let actual players come in and put in alternate pads and pin placements on a few holes. this pretty ok course could be A LOT better.
fun course, but the lack of understanding that this is a disc golf course, not a parking lot can ruin some evenings.

Has concrete tee pads

Has tee signs

More open than wooded fairways - beginner friendly

Course flows pretty well except for between holes 6&7 and 15&16

Well-maintained

Quiet - had whole course to myself on a Monday afternoon

Free parking

Restrooms

Safety issues - course has a few holes that play near the road and park's amenities

Course design and flow could use improvement as there are some holes that have intersecting fairways

Some opportunities to lose discs here via water hazards - recommend backup discs

Course is mostly flat

This a nice multi-use 18 hole city course in Elk Run that I enjoyed playing on a cold, windy Monday afternoon. I didn't know where to exactly park but Jefferson St near hole #1 seemed to be the ideal spot. First thing that I noticed was that the course had fairly short concrete tee pads even though most of the holes here shouldn't require a long run-up. The tee pads were even with the ground to facilitate a run-up if necessary though. Although the course is mostly flat, there are plenty of trees scattered throughout the course that reminded me to keep my drives in control from the concrete tee pads. There is nice, colorful artwork on the tee signs that told me the hole number, par, distance, and path to the basket. There is one tweener par 4 that falls into the easy par 4/hard par 3 category. This is a well-maintained course and I can see how this course can potentially get crowded with other players and parkgoers. Some of the holes play fairly close to the park's amenities and roads so that potentially can cause some concern in safety and delays depending on how busy the park is. Another thing is this course has five holes that have intersecting fairways - which could be better designed in my opinion. A couple of holes had some moderately long walks in between but they weren't that bad. There is potential to lose a disc in the pond at holes 9&10 and also in the canal that runs along the left side of hole 13 and behind hole 15 basket if you go too long. Other than that, it's a decent course to play if you're in the area.

-Nice manicured and clean small town park. Quiet setting with plenty of playgrounds, camping, and a small pond.
-New Mach X baskets, cement tees, and tee signs on each hole.
-A good variety of hole types and distances from tight ace runs to some open bombs and a couple of water hazards in play with the pond and a creek. The course makes good use of the trees throughout the park for shot shaping and options off the tee.
-The course was easy to find and we had very little issues navigating the course, especially with being able to access the course map with the DGCR app.

-The biggest con I have, coming from a design perspective, are the many safety issues throughout the course. Hole 1 starts off playing parallel to the road and is definitely in the hazard zone for errant shots going into the road and even hitting a house with windy conditions. There are a couple of holes that cross fairways and a road, tee pads in other fairways, and holes that play too close to playgrounds and a picnic shelter. Being that the course is in a small town, these issues won't be too big of a concern right away. The layout, however, will create issues for tournaments or if the course gets busy.
-Tee pads are a little small for the longer holes. One tee pad is directly next to a camp site with the power supply outlets right in the way of a run up; there was a camper in the space just a few feet right of the pad. Hole 18's tee is pointed at the wrong basket.
-Some of the canopies on a few holes are too low for the hole lengths and need to be trimmed up a little.
-No alternate pin placements

The course offers some good challenge for all types of players, as well as a good mix of hole types. It also plays pretty quick for an 18 hole. The park is a great spot for disc golf and I feel that more thought towards safety with the course design larger tees for the longer holes would have helped the course earn a higher rating. The course is right off the interstate and is a fun, quick play if you are in the area.

This is a fun course that will challenge experienced players on several holes.
Lots of trees and low-ceiling shots force you to hit different lines and think about shot placement.
It has concrete tees, excellent signage, decent flow from hole to hole, good upkeep, and very little rough/long grass where you could lose discs.
There is also a pond that comes into play on several holes and an opportunity to throw long drives.
The baskets are awesome and very high quality.

My biggest gripes with this course are the crossing fairways and pin placements that will bring discs close to playground and picnic areas.
It's only a few holes, but it's worth mentioning due to the safety risk.
It seems like the course designers really wanted 18 holes and the course ended up feeling a bit cramped in one area as a result.
It could get hairy on busy days if there are other people at the park or even several groups playing at once.
The concrete tees are nice but could be a little bigger on some holes.
There is little in the way of elevation change and most holes are a similar length.

All in all, this is a nice course and worth playing if you are driving through the area. The people who put this in did some really nice work and should be happy with the result. It's great to see courses like this popping up in small communities.
