Missouri western 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 8, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good variety as front 9 is technical and the back 9 is very open with a lot longer distances
Lots of ace and birdie potential on the front 9
Easy to navigate
Course is well maintained and grass is cut once a week
There are 3 benches on the front 9 but none on the much longer back 9

Cons:

No bathrooms except during football season and chiefs training camp
No concrete tee pads
Lots of posion ivy during spring/summer
Tee pad on hole 11 is dangerous and should be moved down
Very crowded with pedestrians during chiefs training camp. I avoid playing during open practices
Discs can easily get lost on holes 1-6 and 10-12

Other Thoughts:

This is my home course and its a nice course with variety. This course could easily be rated a 3-3.5 if they would have concrete tee pads and bathrooms. I appreciate the new baskets throughout the course and it's very easy to navigate as the course is divided on 2 sides. This is a fun course to play but it's also challenging esp on a windy day. The back 9 is more hilly but overall its a course that won't kill your arm or legs. Be careful playing during spring/summer as poison ivy is everywhere esp if you throw into the woods as discs are easily lost in the thick bushes and grass. Overall, its a good course thats fun to play and I'm glad this is my home course.




Watchout for walkers, joggers, and bikers before you throw

Almost Maybe 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 8, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Clean course with nice turf. Easy to navigate. Front 9 has short and tight holes to work on short game. Though front 9 has mismatched baskets the back nine are mach 3s.

Cons:

This course could really benefit from concrete tee pads. Not that I need concrete but most tee areas are not level and worn unevenly. I never felt comfortable on any of the tees. Though the back 9 has much length 4 or 5 holes are up and over hills with blind baskets. I never got into an air it out groove.

Other Thoughts:

13 mi north in the town of Savanah is a 9 hole course with great bomber holes. As a consequence I will probably bypass St Joe and head to Duncan park in Savanah Mo to grip and rip.

Front 9=Accuracy, Back 9=Distance 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 8, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

The grounds were well maintained. Course flow was logical. There are benches at some of the holes on the front 9.
Uses elevation well.
Front 9 offers players the chance to run the chains.
Has both dog leg left and right holes.
Shorter and technical holes on the front 9 and longer more open holes on the back 9.

Cons:

Some of the tees on the front 9 are getting ruts.
Walking paths come into play on some holes so be aware before you throw.
Some of the baskets on the front 9 are single chain and spit outs could be possible.
The rough is rough and thorny at times so be careful.
Some baskets on the front 9 are close to the next tee.
Holes 8 and 9 might be difficult to play during football or soccer games.
The tee box area for 11 is awkward and a player could potentially twist an ankle.
No trash cans.
Wind will factor into your round on the back 9.
Tee markers could use the distances on them.
Long walk from 18's basket back to the parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

Being as this course was only a 9 hole course at one time the addition of the back 9 was a nice addition. One can work on shorter more technical shots on the front 9 and then go work on their long range driving game on the back 9. The back 9 plays uphill and downhill across a nice lightly wooded tract of land that most likely was going unused. You will get a good workout on the back 9 due to the elevation and the length of the holes themselves.
This is a pretty good college campus course. It offers players the opportunity to work on their overall game and there are lines to be shaped to score well.
If you are passing through or are in the area then hit this one up.
