Beautiful wide open course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 5, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This 18 hole course is located on the property of Mineral Area College. The course features pleasant scenery. The college maintains the property well with regular mows spring thru autumn. There are no water hazards. Throughout the winter of 2020-2021 maintenance employees removed all of the clusters of heavy brush and trees where players used to lose discs. On 12-4-2020, concrete tee pads were installed for all 18 holes. Signs that indicate distance and par were installed at each tee pad in March 2021.

Cons:

Most of the course is located between the college buildings and parking lots on the east side of the course and U.S. Highway 67 on the west side of the course. The elevation of the western two thirds of the course is several feet higher than the elevation of the eastern one third of the course. The elevation of the large parking lots that border the course to the east of the course are also several feet higher than that of the eastern third of the course. This causes the eastern third of the course to be in a trough. The entire parking lots slant towards the course, which causes all of the rain that falls on the lots to flow across the lots and onto the eastern side of the course. During the late spring, summer, and early autumn, the east side of the course remains playable even after a heavy rain. During the winter to early or mid-spring, the portions of the eastern side of the course may be saturated at times with 1 to 2 inches of standing water from all of the rainwater that flowed onto the course from the parking lots.

Other Thoughts:

This is by far my favorite course. I have played the course more than any other course, at least a couple of dozen times within the past year. I may be biased because I only live 1 1/2 miles from the course.
