Great 9 for family - Decent 18 overall 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is located on a BEAUTIFUL state park. Every tee has a short pad with a trash can or bench littered throughout.

Signage was below par, only shows distance with no map. They have recently updated a few holes, but haven't updated the signs.

First nine are awesome for a family looking for a good time, with short walks between holes. The front nine is all below 300' and doesn't have water in play, so there is no real risk of losing a disc.

Back nine is more for the true disc golfer looking for bombs. The majority of the holes have a few trees scattered throughout, but you are able to go over the top (except 17)

A couple of my favorite holes were #8 and #13
-8: Tee pad was located up by the parking lot, with pin located long on a dog leg left. Great for a BHRH, which I assume the majority of people play (also great shot fo LHFH). Minimal trees and you can just crush a shot.

-13: Three or 4 scattered trees up by the pin. Great mowed fairway creating a neat little shot. Really challenges you to attack the tee or lay up before the circle

Cons:

The course is front nine short and back nine long. Doesn't seem like they take care of the back nine very well since I assume not a lot of people playing the course are looking to play a full 18.

Signage was very sad. It only shows distance and I question a lot of the distances provided. A couple holes said 200' and it felt closer to 400'.

The flow of the course was set up for the front nine and really tight together, which doesn't let you take any crazy shot because of the walkways and other tee pads.

I'm not sure when the last time they mowed 17 because it was up to our ankles. A few other holes were similar, but 17 was really bad.

Other Thoughts:

Course is GREAT for a family. I wouldn't say for someone who really enjoys a challenging course to go out of their way to play. If you are at the state park, its definitely worth playing nine.

Not bad, but has quite a bit of work especially because you have to pay $8 to get into the park (in state plates are $6)

- most holes have some trees in play which help shape your shots.
- Signs are simple but at least have footages
- Course is absolutely beautiful, well manicured, flower gardens; there is a nice stream that runs between two ponds also there are many tree scattered around the course.
- there is some elevation in play on whole 3 and hole 9
- course is in a state park with all the amenities primative and RV campsites, swimming area, driving range, miniture golf course, hiking, biking and horseback trails.


Cons:

- no garbages on course
- beginner course nothing super special
- 4 dollar park entry fee

Other Thoughts:

i believe that this is nebraska's first state park course, with that being said this course could be a beast,when i played it was set up in the red postions which is the easiest positions i think that the green positions would make the course quite hard... the pins are all well protected when in the green positions.

Hopefully they will expand on the course into an 18 then maybe it would be worth the 4 dollars.. unless ur lookin for a place to camp and disc in the morning then its a steal 4 bucks for campin and discing!!! Sweet deal
