Redesigned

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 5, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Map on every tee sign
Decent Tee signs
Baskets are still in good shape
Good use of some parts of the campus

Cons:

Unlevel tee areas on several holes
Holes 8 to 11 are really close together, but have a tree line separating them.

Other Thoughts:

Based on the old review and pictures the course was greatly improved when it was redesigned. No longer playing "though" campus, only a couple of the holes may you come across students.

Parking is near the ballfield, just past the staff parking area, the first few holes go back and forth across this mostly open area.

it's a long walk from 7 to 8 but then you have some individually decent holes going though some rows of tree's with some elevation, including a 560ft hole along the road down the hill. These holes are really too close together, but when you are the only person on the course, I guess it does not matter.

Short walk from 12 to 13 and you have a couple of holes around an old railroad bed. Then for 17 and 18, you have a long mostly open hole over a garden, then 18 is a nice anhyzer over the road to a basket tucked from view.

In general, this is not a bad course and you could tell it's getting some play.

Would I play here again? Not really, while the course is decent, its not a stand out. I would not go out of my way to play here again. But if I lived nearby, its a decent "local" course to work on your game.

Really enjoyed this course... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 14, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Both grip and rip holes alongside some long technical shots. Very interesting in that so all of the holes are interspersed amongst the varying buildings/playing fields of the Northwest Missouri State University campus. All baskets have solar powered lights on top of them; so a round in the dark would be most enjoyable!

Cons:

While not a con per se, there is a need to be careful on probably 10-12 of the holes or else you could end up skewering a building, automobile, or the occasional passer-by!

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun course to play in that it is so different from a typical wide open or highly wooded course. If on a roadtrip from say KC to Omaha, this would be a worthwhile course to play on your way through rural Northwestern Missouri!
