New tee boxes are great. Big concrete broomed pads. Water tower construction is done and all 9 holes are open.

No major cons.

If some people have a good plan to expand to 18 holes, the city park & rec dept can help make it happen.

-Many open holes make the course friendly for beginners
-Many 300+ long holes for more experienced players to throw some bombers
-Clear signage and course navigation
-Nice DiscCatcher baskets
-Dogleg left and right holes
-Practice basket (labeled as #10)

-Holes 1-4 unplayable due to water tower construction
-Mostly flat
-Few opportunities for ace runs
-Some of the tile tees are sunken or broken toward the front end
-Sometimes the wind can be a factor with this course located at a high point in New Ulm

I played this course while I was in the area to camp at nearby Flandrau State Park and found it to be a pretty enjoyable course. Aside from the fact that I could not play the first 4 holes, I found holes 7 and 8 to be the most enjoyable since they offered the technical challenges of weaving through trees and throwing a steep LHBH hyzer over a hedge. Besides these interesting holes, I found the majority of the course to be a bit monotonous with several straight, open 400+ length holes that I primarily used to experiment with my long game. Nevertheless, I must say this course was very straight forward and a joy to play despite the openness. I walked holes 1-4 to investigate whether they were open, and wish they were since holes 2 and 3 offered a couple of LHBH anhyzer shots. Altogether, once these baskets are reinstalled this will once again be a well-rounded course. The only con is the condition of a few of the tile tee pads. With a little bit of attention and minor repairs, this course will look good as new again. I would highly recommend playing this course if you are in the area.

Many wide open holes, moderate obstacles. Good distance variety. Makes use of wooded area very well. Maps were clear. Open environment was welcoming.

An information booth would be helpful.
Some tee pads were cracked/rough.
Though the holes were not difficult, possibly frustrating for beginners due to distance.

This course stands out in that you can actually drive on the majority of the holes. It would get a 3 rating regularly, but most courses are not open with minimal obstacles - very enjoyable to work on/show off power drives!
