There was a tournament here recently and the local club has the courses looking good.This course starts off with a bang placing the pin over 400ft from the tee w/ trees to the right, left, and in the middle of the fairway. Also has O.B. surrounding it. Getting a 3 on the first hole is not always easy, but if you can, it may be a good sign for the holes to come. This course has great change in elevation and is placed well throughout this beautiful park. There are some long, open holes to just sling it, as well as holes surrounded by trees and brush that require precision. This is very much a course with variety. This course seems to test every aspect of my game and makes for a fun challenging round.

The club does a good job for the most part taking care of this course. Although with elevation changes and distance it can be tough to keep up with. There have been some occasions when grooming becomes a problem and weeds and brush start to take over some paths and wooded fairways. But I have to give them a pat on the back because there are now 3 courses here and considering there are only a few people to take care of them. They do a fantastic job. Also something to work on is the signage. I started my disc golf playing here in Marshall, so I know my way around pretty good. But if you are unfamiliar with this course I could see where it might be hard to find your way around. Definitely bring a map or your disc golf app to find your way around if you are from out of town. Or look me up and I'd be happy to come out and play. The park has also had problems with some people tearing down some of the disc golf signs and make it had to put up new ones. So other than some small grooming problems and lack of signage this is a great course. Had it not been for these 2 issues this would be a 4.5-5.0 course.

I would say on average, this course takes anywhere from 3 to 3 1/2 hours to play. Maybe 2-2 1/2 hours if you are by yourself, pretty good and don't have to search for any discs. Maybe 4 hours with a few people. But of course all this depends on having to find discs and the amount of people playing. Beware of the water on 11, 12 and 18. Well designed course and I hope that the amount of players here in Marshall continue to grow.

Huge multi-use park with plenty of group facilities, only minimal interference when playing DG. This is a real plus - so many courses try to cram too many activities into too little area!

Very challenging layout, reminds me of Water Works (KC) but with more challenging woods holes. Speaking of which, I have to say that when I started my round, I felt lulled into complacency by the first several holes, which were excellent but certainly not malevolently challenging.

Then the course dove into the woods, which is where the claws and fangs came out. Sheesh! Talk about the need for absolutely pinpoint accuracy! Looking back on this part of the course, where while playing I felt downright intimidated, I could see that it was simply the course's way of punishing bad shots, which after all were my fault entirely.

Okay. So after traipsing around in the woods - where you have to deal with a meandering stream as well as dense schule - you come back out into the open and find yourself at the tee for #17, which I believe does merit a nod as the signature hole for the course. It's a long sweeping downhill hyzer shot that MUST be kept low to avoid iron leaves, of which there are plenty. Great penultimate hole.

What else? Good parking, excellent restroom facility, benches every now and then, very helpful "next tee" indicators on each basket, and some signage (see "con"s).

There are a couple of "con"s that prevent this course from earning an extra half disc at least. The first is signage: many of the signs are missing, and the main sign showing the entire course (at the kiosk near tee #1) is totally faded and almost useless.

Second is the fact that the pins are not numbered correctly for the holes they're on. These two are not serious issues and are easily fixed. Also easily fixed is the scarcity of trash cans. I don't recall seeing any of these while playing, there were some (IIRC) near the parking lot. Should be more: this course was very clean for a course sited in a public park but I did see beer bottles and other debris, particularly in the schule where people evidently threw their trash thinking that nobody would care if they didn't see it. (Little did they suspect how dangerous I am with plastic in my hand!)

The available maps and signs show blue tees which really don't exist. What is there is small blue bricks set into the ground - not really tees at all, but hey, maybe if they're fertilized and watered enough, they'll grow ...

All in all this is the sort of course that everyone should have in their home town so they can take visiting friends to play and be proud of the asset they have. No joke. I wish I lived here so I could play this course more regularly.

Btw, I took a raft of pix and will upload them shortly.

Nice course in a really beautiful park. Good use of elevation changes, and some dangerous greens that are sloped will force a decision to be made to play safe or run at baskets.

The installation of concrete teepads helped this park out a lot. I believe that 2 sets of teepads and at least 2 basket locations are available for each hole.

I compare this to a slightly shorter Waterworks (in KC MO), it's a fantastic course with good elevation changes, with some technically challenging shots as well.

Best kept DG secret in Missouri.

Not much bad to say about this. Some of the elevation changes can lead to frustrating roll-aways that could go OB - either on the paved, or gravel roads in the park. I believe that tee signs were an issue at one point, but I think this has been corrected.

This is a must play course if you're in Mid-Missouri, especially since it's a 36 hole park now.

This course was made by local disc golf players but don't let it fool you. This course is a very challenging course to play on, moderatly hilly and wooded. Every hole has its own obsticle to go around. The course is well taken care of, and hasmultiple tee boxes. I have played it many times. Favorite holes have to be 3, 6, 12 and 17 for me. All of these are long holes and gives those of you that like to crush drives will like these holes as well. 12 is probably the best you have a tree you have to throw beneath from the top of a hill, and have to keep disc out of woods that is just to your right, almost no room for your disc to move that way, at the bottom of the hill is a creek (never dry).

Tee boxes can get really muddy after it rains, causes slipping. Some of the holes cannot be seen from the teeboxes, 4, 5, 9, 10, 14, and 17. Alot of woods around, disc will be hard to find if you don't keep an eye on them, some will be gone for good.

Alot of the holes call for the discs to go right, so if you can make your disc curve to the right you will do well on this course. Tommahawkers/Thumbers will do well on this course as well.
Overall excellent course.
