Pros:

This is a nice, easy course in a very small town. There is a glo tournament every year that is really fun. Its a very easy play and is a great course for beginners. Here are my pros:

1) This course is very easy to navigate and is a very short course. There aren't really any blind holes and everything is pretty much straightforward. When playing this course you could easily play 36 holes in the time it takes to play a longer course.

2) Its a good course to work on your putter shots and your mid range discs. You won't be challenged at this course but you will have fun. Its a good course to run some aces on.

3) The park/course are kept in really good shape. The course has great concrete pads and nice baskets. The park is in a very quiet part of town and the park is very peaceful.

4) The course actually utilizes some OB areas fairly well. The course runs right up on a few walking paths and right against a baseball diamond. I would recommend playing these areas as OB just to give some more difficulty to the course.

5) Considering what the designer had to work with (very small park, not much acreage), I think the design was very good. Hole 1 is the longest hole on the course and is actually a nice hole that requires you to throw a hyzer out over the road to have a great shot at the basket.

Cons:

Honestly this course doesn't have a lot of bad things going for it. Its a very easy, 9 hole course in a very small park. Here are a few cons:

1) The course doesn't have any variety on the length and is not very challenging. The designer did a good job with what he had but this course isn't going to compare to a lot of the longer courses out there.

2) This is par 3 disc golf at its finest and this course actually probably has a few par 2's. I honestly only play this course for the glo tournament because that adds a nice little challenge for me. Unfortunately this course won't do much for your game during a normal round. This course is designed for what it was supposed to be.

3) The lay of the land simply didn't allow a superb course to be put in this park. I usually don't give 9 hole courses above a 3.0 rating and so if this course were 18 holes of the same type of shots I could see myself giving this a 2.5 rating. This is a very flat park with not a lot going for it on the disc golf course except for some walking paths and fences. Its a short, fun course but nothing worth going out of your way to get to.

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice park with a very short and easy course in a small town. If you are coming through this way its a very short and easy play.
