NICC - Calmar DGC plays on the campus of Northeast Iowa Community College on the south end of Calmar, IA. A nicely diverse course, there are open shots, one tunnel and 2 blind shots. #2 gets some length with 432', #3 shoots blind over a wall and then down. #4 plays blind along the curve of trees to the left, #7 is a tight tunnel shot. It appears that #7, 8 and 9 have all moved slightly from earlier maps and even their current tee signs. I have edited those 3 signs to be more correct, added them to the Media tab, and created an updated map (See Course Map). Added trees on #5 are just another obstacle to play, but are spaced far enough apart to work around pretty easily. Not a championship level course, but some good variety to work on several different shots. Adding concrete tees and fixing those 3 signs would add half a point. I really enjoyed my round here and will probably play again.

This was a great course five years ago.

Signage on each hole with distance labeled.

Variety of shots needed on your drives.

All are easy to par and a challenge to birdie.

Never busy with players so you can get a quiet round in.

The campus has changed some landscaping over the last few years. The designers clearly didn't care about the course when they did these designs. A few of the baskets and tee offs are in locations that are nearly impossible to manage. One hole we had to tee off with a tree three feet in front of us that was just planted. Another hole had the basket right in the middle of four thick trees.

They did not care about the course with their landscaping updates. It was great five years ago but now I dont' have the same ambition to go back.

Very simple layout, easy to follow hole to hole. Holes 1-3 are the easiest on the course, and the next 6 are easy to get par but a challenge to birdie (as most courses are). It is a very flat and open course, very nice for recreational play. I wish more people knew about it, there were never any other people there while I have been there!

I wish there were actual tee pads, my friends and I just end up teeing off from the hole signs.
