The park is a very well kept park with nicely mowed fairways. It has a few places with minor elevation but overall it's a flat course. There are large mature trees scattered across the course with minimal rough. The course plays near the interstate so there is quite a bit of noise.

Excellent course map near the tee of #1.

Concrete tee pads are very nice. Excellent traction!

Long course playing around 6000 feet. You get to rip some drives out there.
Adequate tee signs and fairly easy course to navigate.

Good use of obstacles and terrain.

Innova Discatcher Baskets.

Lack of obstacles and rough. It just doesn't offer that excitement factor that a lot of very good courses.

This course is not far off the intersate and is a good course to get out and stretch the legs. It's a nice walk in the park.

-Kiwanis, although mildly flat, makes great use of the available elevation holes 3,7,8,11,14,15,17,18. 15,17,18 play in a big bowl where you either throw from ridge to ridge, into the bowl or across the bowl. A good variety of holes for the same piece of land.
-Although not all holes have a ton of trees, there are some fairly wooded holes out there that force accuracy and shot placement. Holes 1, and 4-6 are great examples and all good holes.
-A couple of holes are prairie lined which shapes the shot and forces you to throw it, unless you want to be looking. They should be ob IMO.
-Some decent length here also which has been stated. I think my favorite long hole was 11 which has open fairway for about 200' then a line of trees to the right of a large patch of prairie, from there the fairway and pin are downhill another 275-300 with a nice fast green if you overshoot.
-Nice concrete
-There is some decent pin protection.

-Signage is a bit lacking, they are the standard Peoria type signs, with hole number distance and an arrow from tee to pin with general hole shape. Not really descriptive, but suitable. Some of the signs have been damaged or vandalized.
-I really wish some of the holes had more trees to shape them. Holes like 13 and 16 are just kind of blah. They are pretty much just wide open. 13 is long 16 is shorter.
-Course plays along a walking path so be careful.
-I didn't see any water or bathrooms. Although there could be some by the skate park.

This course is a fun one to play right off the interstate. It has a lot of things that make a course good ie concrete, some elevation, some trees, but just not quite enough of either to bump the rating up in my opinion.

Many course make you throw a shot to put a move on the disc early in flight. This course has some holes that make you put a move on your disc at the end of the flight path. I love the pin placements on many of these holes as they have some guarded pins. There are some elevation, scattered trees, and wide-open type holes. This course does have cement tee pads and simple tee signs. The message board is well taken care of and parking is close to #1, #14, #15, and #18. This part of the park is mostly just disc golfers.

I really hate those "up to 5-feet tall" grassy rough patches and this course has some of those. I feel this does nothing for the play of the course except to slow play down. After a good rain #17 & #18 can get a bit soppy, but this course is not a bad option when wet.

The fun factor for this course was pretty high. Working the disc to get to the guarded pins was really fun. This was wasted land at one time and it is great to see how it has really developed. I hope Galesburg will put some more courses up soon.
