Other Thoughts:
Gaukel Park hosts a reasonable DGC in the northern part of Onawa, IA. Play starts near the community center with holes #1 and #2, the rest play across the street mostly in the soccer fields (which make it unplayable when in use for soccer). Fairly typical for a park course with a few trees to work around, the ground here is just super flat. No elevation to speak of. Really, an OK course for a small town. Not a bad course, not a course to challenge most of us. As previous review said, a bagger's pleasure. Play, if you're in the area and want to hit chains, otherwise, you won't miss passing by.

+Stop if you're a course bagger, don't if you're not. That's all there really is to say about this small town course in NW Iowa.

Pros:
Handful of nice holes that shape shots a bit.
Fairly clear signs
Nice baskets

Cons:

Couple of holes fairly boring straight shots. These holes also traverse across a soccer field that would be unplayable if a soccer game was going one.

Other Thoughts:
It's a course count booster. If you lived in town, it would be good practice. Other than that, it's kind of meh.
