Needs some tweaking 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 13, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course was in great shape, grass mowed, no trash, trees trimmed, etc. There are some open holes and also there is a good mix of trees here as well. Dog legs both right and left, and uphill and downhill shots as well. A decent mix of short and long, but not too long.
Hole #1 hard dog leg left which was nice.
Hole #2 dog legs right, around the rec center
#4's basket was behind a rock pile, which was different.
#6 was a downhill shot, with moderate length
#7 was a slightly uphill shot
#9 was a nice hole, with trees blocking the pin
#11 was a short straight shot
#14 bomb it across the alfalfa patch
#15-17 had some trees to contend with but not too bad
#18, just air it out, basket is next to #9's.
This is a nice small town 18 hole course.

Cons:

The homemade baskets need some work. Even when you make a putt it falls out of the bottom of the basket. Also it would be nice to have a number on each basket so you were sure you were throwing to the right basket or not. A simple sticker on the pole of the basket would help tremendously. As stated previously, the tee signs need to at least be pointed in the right direction towards where you are throwing to. There were a couple of times, even with the map, that the tee markers were misleading and we ended up playing in the wrong direction. The baskets and the tee signs are both issues that could be easily fixed, and would bump this course up .5 stars.

Other Thoughts:

About the only obstacles that I came into contact with were some people flying kites in a field on #18, and the cars driving down the dirt roads going into the softball fields. If there were people on the walking paths, then you would have to be paying attention to that as well. You could potentially hit the rec center on #1 to your right, if you shanked it, and the same goes on #2. If you have the misfortune of shanking your drive on #6, you could land out in the middle of 56 highway, but then again you most likely have more control than I do.
Possiblity of losing a disc is low, unless it got lost in a tree. I would imagine that you would not have a whole lot of traffic on the course to contend with. With a little work this could be a much better course. Put in some tee pads, fix the sign issues, and get some pro baskets, as stated earlier, and it would help a lot. It is what it is, and if you are in the area then stop and play here. Not a destination course, but not a dump either.
