Pros:

-Cement tee pads
-Green tee posts with hole number and distance
-Easy flow once you find the first hole
-Very relaxed setting amongst some tall mature trees, although there is the sound of the highway at times.
-Good mix of hole lengths for a small town course. A few holes offer some different options off the tee. Good course for beginners to practice and learn on.

Cons:

-A couple of tees and baskets play too close to each other. The playground and picnic shelter on hole 3 are in the danger zone for errant throws, especially on windy days.
-Tee posts are set in a horrible spot, right at the rear left corner of the tee pad. They are definitely in the way for left handed throwers.
-The baskets are old and a little beat up. They catch decently enough for being homemade.
-No course map. Hole 1 is located just east of the playground.


Other Thoughts:

Not a bad course for small town South Dakota. The course could benefit from a redesign to deal with safety issues and to better utilize the land and trees. The course is located right along Highway 14, between the public golf course and James River, and makes for a nice quick round.

Not bad... 2+ years drive by

Pros:

- Concrete tee pads and marked posts with distance
- Baskets all in nice condition
- Tee pads for next hole close to previous basket
- Layout logical and easy to follow

Cons:

- Distances are very short overall
- Not many obstacles or challenges, no elevation changes
- Cuts through park and playground too close at some points
- No signage at the beginning to tell you where hole one starts

Other Thoughts:

This is what would be called my "old hometown course," as this is the town I grew up in. But I moved away a long time ago, long before I knew what disc golf was. The area was much more fully "tree-ed" many years ago, but multiple 100 year floods have destroyed much of what was there. It is a nice small, short course, and the designers have done well with the updates, but it lacks overall pizzaz. It is a great practice course if you have nowhere else close to play, but certainly not a "destination course."
