Fun front 9, challenging back 9. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 22, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Really a good challenge in the hills (especially the back 9)

Plenty of walking

Good signage

Original and unique tee boxes (trapezoid shaped)

Nice placement in a city park, you feel in nature, yet are a couple jumps from civilization

Not claustrophobic, well spread out

Cons:

Could be a challenge to walk for some (2.5 miles of hilly walking)

Hole #10 for beginners, definite water hazard #15 is only moderate risk.

Can be confusing to find the next hole at times, just pay attention to the markers

Other Thoughts:

I advise to take a picture of the map mounted to the tennis court fence, located right next to tee box for #2

Some holes you need to spot out before you tee off, in example 2 and 4, due to trees and hills being in the way

Holes #10, #15, #17, #18 are all really close to water, you have been warned, but it is a fun challenge for players with any decent experience. The creek near #17 and #18 is relatively shallow, simple to retrieve your discs there, #10 and #15, are not so easy to retrieve from Litz pond.

Best Course in the Cape Girardeau, MO area.

Underrated 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

This DGC has an outstandingly splendiferous park setting lending itself to excellent, exciting, elevation variations with pulchritudinous, portrait-worthy vistas from several tees. The lengthy, terrific, trapezoidal, tee pads were top-tier complete with red-dyed concrete foot-fault no-no zones. Park was very well-maintained. At least three 'signature' style holes on this course with very challenging pars. Good sprinkling of easy ace-run/birdie ops to balance the more challenging holes. Signage and navigation were clear and easily followed. Other amenities were more than adequate with a conveniently located pavilion with water spigot.

Cons:

There are some really tough shots on this course with very punishing Out-of-Bounds - beginner to intermediate players would probably not care for the difficulty/frustration level of this course. Even though the course was in excellent shape, some of the holes had some pretty dense underbush if you got off your line too much.

Other Thoughts:

Top-notch disc spot and well worth the travel time if you're coming from out of town.

Top of the Litz 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 10, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Very scenic, hilly and beautiful course with giant scored Tpads and great signs w next tee arrows. great mix of long holes and short, 10 and 15 play over the edge of a lake and 17 and 18 play over a creek. No poke-N-hope holes. Innova discatcher baskets w yellow tops easy to spot. Big arms will be challenged on 2, 7, 9, 10 , 14, 15, and 18. Reminds me of Sioux Passage in N St Louis. Birdie op holes placed after the tough holes to give you a break. Dual pin placements mix it up for regulars.

Cons:

few trash cans or benches Walk from 16 to17 is a trudge, download the map b4 you go.

Other Thoughts:

I played this course soon after it was installed ; signs werent in yet and so I got frustrated and played half the holes. But now this is a stellar course with great holes like 2, 15, and 17, 18 that rival a ball golf course. Way more challenging than nearby Cape Park. Newbies will find this a brutal course. But a great course that rivals the best in Missouri, Ive played ALL the Mo. courses , and this is in the top 7 or 8. Harmony Bend, Branson Cedars, Waterworks and Rothwell East are in this category if you've played those. I gave it a 4.5 to bump the rating close to what is needs to be, a 4.

Improved course 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Nice tees. New course map. Challenging terrain.

Cons:

Can be tough in the heat with all the hills. Some thick brush on two holes.

Other Thoughts:

Nice challenging course. Alot of improvements since opening. Need good controls when throwing near the woods or the water.

Once was enough 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 26, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

What a beautiful scenic area!! The view from several of the back nine holes is breathtaking....
By the way, there is a course there on those hills..
Brand new tee pads and easy to spot yellow baskets with hole numbers.
Did I say the course was in a very scenic area??
#14 is the only positive memorable hole... mando up a hill to a basket on the down side of the hill....
#17 and #18 played along a brook which flowed through some neat rock formations in the brook bed.
Was a great finish to.... (see cons and other thoughts)

Cons:

Where do I begin??
No signage at all.... maybe coming as the next phase of this 2016 built course. Without the online map, you would be hard pressed to navigate this course because..
The FLOW of it is horrible.... they had acres and acres to use for this course, so I think they had to make you walk long lengths between the holes to use up all the acreage.
Then, the quality of the holes.... not sure who designed this but there were no WOW holes for me.
#2 Throws through the trees to a marsh area with uncontrolled brush in front of the basket.
#10 Uses the pond, but you either have to be able to throw it 250 or more, or lay up on a 15 ft wide hill sloping into the water. (Yes, I lost a disc!!)
#15 again uses the pond, but not really because the trees block that angle and you end up throwing wide of it toward the street.
Enough said here....

Other Thoughts:

I hate to be the first reviewer and be so harsh... Start with this disclaimer: I am an over 50 disc player with a 200 ft average drive. I look for courses that I find "fun".
My 17 y/o son and I play numerous road trips... This was course #3 (of 5) on a Cape Girardeau trip from StL.
There was way too much hiking for the lack of quality of the holes. Not sure if designer is trying to make a fun course or a "championship caliber one".
Unfortunately, he didn't hit on either.
