Bigger course than first thought 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 6, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Concrete Tees
-Good map (Here on DGCR)
-Good mixture of long/short - open/wooded/tunnel holes
-Layout makes sense, but the map is helpful

Cons:

-No benches/few trash cans
-Many signs missing (poles are there, signs are not)
-Playground could come into play on #17
-At over 6400', a long course, especially for rec players
-Looks like rough could be punishing (I played in early April, so no problem)

Other Thoughts:

Lewis Club Park, located near the Colfax City Pool, is a potential championship course in need of a few things to make it a wonderful course. It appears that signage has gone missing on the majority of holes, so I recommend printing off the map before you go. There were also no benches and only 2-3 trash cans located around the course. I did enjoy the "bomber" holes of 12 and 17, 3 holes longer than 500' (6, 9, 18) did seem a little long. It is a long course for the recreational player, but overall, I enjoyed my round. Might not make a special trip for this course, but would play it again.

15 Wonderful Holes! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

15 great holes! Variety of shots in distance and line.

Great elevation also.

Extremely well maintained, clean, good signage. Nicely cut fairways with rough left high. Mowed paths from basket to next hole where needed.

Cons:

3 terrible holes that just don't fit...8,9,10. In fact I talked to some players who say they just skip them and play it as a 15 holer. I missed them the first few times I played and it was a better day.

Honestly they could be made to fit and finish this course very well if someone would put a little work into knocking some trees down and a quick mow.

Take a map.

Any other course and they might not be so glaring.

Other Thoughts:

It is definitely worth taking the time to play, and could be the top course in Central Iowa with just a little work.
