Pros:
1) nice large course map at the beginning.
2) underused course means fast rounds
3) ample parking and nice restroom area along with other non-disc golf amenities (splash pool, skate park)
4) 3 minutes from Interstate 74 but also very quiet with no road noise nearby
5) GROOVED concrete teepads provide the best traction from any concrete teepads I've ever used
6) Innova DisCatcher baskets are high visibility and in excellent condition
7) Great mixture of holes...most made me anxious to step to the tee. Very few under 285 and all require some degree of shot shaping. Several holes towards the middle of the round play around and between large grass roughs that are the tallest and thickest prarie grasses that I have ever seen. I threw 2 deep into them and found them within 20 minutes each but felt lucky to have found them at all.
8) adequate signage
9) great use of existing trees and mild elevation to create exciting holes
Cons:
1) Tee signs could be better
2) Those crazy rough grass areas could be a little less jungly and less than 7 feet tall would be nice
3) Tee pads would be even nicer if they were just a bit longer.
4) Occasionally the course flow leaves you looking for the next tee and finding it 200 feet away...again, better signage could fix that
Other Thoughts:
Some small towns are doing their best to keep up with the Jones' by installing disc golf courses in their parks and more often than not it is a park that should not have a disc golf course in it. That is not the case here at Kiwanis in Galesburg. The park fits disc golf well and although I have 20 courses that are closer to me than it is I will still make it a point to visit this park several times a year.
