Cons:
-Quite flat
-Not enough trees to force any lines. Not much variety in type of throw required. You can hyzer or throw a straight shot on most holes.
-Natural pads
-Hole 9 plays close to the playground
-On the shorter side. Most holes felt pretty similar.

Other Thoughts:
+A course for the baggers. Not on a major highway. Not really worth driving 6 miles each way off Highway 30. It's fine, is what it is. A small town Iowa course. There's a lot of them out there. This one is a lower end dime a dozen type.

Other Thoughts:
This is a short 9 hole course in Carroll County that I enjoyed playing as my first snow round. This course is pretty basic and doesn't have anything that really stands out. Each hole has a white PVC pipe as a tee marker and a Mach 2 basket if I'm not mistaken. I would have to guess that each hole is shorter than 300 ft with many birdie opportunities for a seasoned player. The course would probably be best enjoyed by the beginner or junior. I think some holes play fairly close to the road and playground - which would be more of a concern if this park is ever crowded. I played here while it snowed so I didn't know where to park exactly. I parked in the church parking lot and it was a short walk to hole #1 tee and from hole #9 basket. The course flows in a clockwise direction starting near the church and cemetery and ends at the playground - with the halfway point at the other side of the baseball field near Park Ave. This is an easy course to bag and shouldn't take long to play if you're in the area.
