Definition of 1.5 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

+ In my mind, the biggest pro that this course has is the beautiful Sugar River that hugs the greens on #3 and #4 and the right side of the fairway of #5. It's serene, beautiful, and adds flavor to this course that would otherwise be extremely boring and plain.

+ This course is surrounded by cornfields and the river. It's very isolated in the small town (if you can call it that) of Dayton.

+ There are hexagon shaped tees and baskets that are in relatively good condition. I'm glad that the tees are in hexagon shaped, because I like to run up to the tees sideways and these were accommodating to that. It makes sense that the equipment is in great shape because I'd imagine this place isn't frequented too often.

+ Grass is mowed, not much trash, playground, shelter, basketball court, and portapotties on site.

Cons:

- No elevation changes, very little obstacles (with the exception of a pine tree on #6), and not a memorable course (outside of maybe the river).

- In the middle of nowhere, which doesn't make driving here very attractive.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, it's the definition of a 1.5 rated course in my eyes. Not exactly worth traveling to.

I would also recommend checking out the map in the Links / Files section so you get a feel for the flow before hand!!

That said, there were several people who were tubing/kayaking/canoeing the river. That seems to be a ton of fun and definitely something I want to check out in the future.

Thanks!

Baskets and plenty of space... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

6 hole course located in Exeter Park, which is in Exeter, WI. If you don't know where that is, well, join the club. It's pretty much a blink-and-you'lll-miss-it town out in the middle of nowhere.

Nice DGA baskets, all mounted well enough and solid. They caught fine, and were numbered, which helped with navigation. One pin position per hole.

Concrete tees, in an hexagon shape. It took me a second glance to make sure they weren't some sort of satanic altar. They're fine, albeit a bit small. One tee per hole.

There's a decent amount of distance here, which was surprising. A few trees throughout the property, with some new ones planted that will offer a little more in the way of obstacles.

The river that runs along holes 3/4/5 could come into play, but you'd have to seriously overshoot 3/4, or flip one right the heck over on 5. It provides nice scenery, if nothing else.

As has been said before, you could set up some neat-ish safari holes here. Especially during the week, I'd imagine this park gets next to zero action, so you could probably incorporate the playground and other multi-use objects to at least make some things interesting.

Cons:

Navigation here is tough the first time through. No signs, no markings on the tees....just numbered baskets. Once you realize what's going on, it makes sense, but it takes a bit (and probably some extra throws) to figure it out.

It's about as flat as flat can be. There's the slightest downhill on hole 5, but you'll need some measuring tools to be sure.

While there's a few trees, there's not much. You're mostly throwing at open baskets here.

Other Thoughts:

It's mostly baskets in a field, which isn't always the worst thing in the world, I guess. Beginners and kids will dig it (especially with a playground and basketball court onsite), and there's at least some distance to air it out a bit.

Other than the safari opportunities, there's really not a lot of redeeming qualities here, especially when you consider how far out of the way it is from the rest of the civilized world.

Pros:

The course is in a small town outside Madison WI. The course has Nice Mach 2 baskets that all are in good shape and catch great. There are nice level (6 sided ?) tee pads here. The river can come into play on half the holes albeit with some pretty poor shots. A couple trees on the course (3 I believe) that you have to avoid. The course is free and is up all year. I also doubt that the course would ever be busy...ever.

Cons:

Only 6 holes here. Pretty much just wide open shots. Not much for cons, but not much here to nit pick anyway.

Other Thoughts:

Another small town course slapped in a park. Nothing to go out of your way to play by any means but if you're near here it's a real quick round. It is nice to see courses like this in small towns to help grow the sport though. Also with the hexagonal tees and openness of the course this could make for a real fun safari round as mentioned earlier.
