Nice, open course without a lot of elevation changes. A mix of short and longer holes, with a few challenging holes mixed in.

Basket for hole #4 is missing and we were not 100% sure where to tee off for hole #5. There will be standing water on some holes after rain.

Played a C tier tournament where 6 extra holes were added.

Fairly decent use of the land available. Most holes have some kind of OB element to them, which helps take away from the wide open feel the course first gives off when you pull up.

Brand new monkey trap baskets and brand new tee signs means everything is in great shape.

Concrete tees are plenty big and in great shape.

the use of water, roads and telepone poles makes for an interesting course. there are 3 baskets that play almost right up to the water, giving a nice risk reward feel to the holes, but they are not forced water carries allowing them to be played safe by lesser skilled players.

Lacks some of the frilly stuff a lot of us look for. No trash cans, no benches etc.

The roads come into play quite a bit which could cause some jam ups if the park is busy.

A couple holes play near the lake which could cause conflict with families and fishermen.

A handful of the holes are just wide open bombers which i find kinda boring.

I played before all the vegetation greened up, but I can imagine it gets really thick and nasty during the summer which would get annoying if you end up in it all the time.

Also the runoff/ slough/ ponds whatever you want to call them look kind of gross and as others have said the might smell in the summer heat.

there is a lake and a creek/ river running through the park so if you or your family need something else to do before during or after you play there are options.

Really close to the town of Carthage.

There are talks of adding the other 6 holes to make it a full 18.

This course is located on Kellogg Lake Park and is situated around the lake and the slough near the lake. The park is pretty well established with the fishermen and some other activities, but the course plays out of the way from those activities. The course has a good mix of shots. About half are more geared to lefties and the other half is more righty friendly. The fairways on this course are just beautiful. The grass is well cut and the trees are very well trimmed. Water comes into play on 5 holes which is very unique for our area. Hole 10 has an excellent risk/reward aspect to its tee shot. The course flows great with the exception of maybe two holes. Tees are easily spotted from the previous basket and I had no problems with navigation my first time through. Concrete tee pads are a good size and are textured very nicely. Baskets are Monkey Traps which are a high quality basket and can be found in a lot of courses in the area.

The rough can be quite thick in places. I've lost one disc so far, but I've heard of people losing 3+ in one round. Keep out of it at all costs. The non disc golfers are generally out of the way, but as with any course there are times a group may be in a fairway. There are two places where it may be a bit confusing as to where to go next. There's no water or bathrooms that I know of, so that could become a problem in the summer. There aren't any tee signs currently.

6 new holes are planned for the near future as well as tee signs. It's great to have another course in the four states area and I would definitely give this a try if you're in the area. Overall, you can have a lot of fun at this course. As long as you keep out of the rough!
