Welcome to Brady, population 423, but hell ya' we have a DG course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 10, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

If you don't want to be bothered this is probably the place to play. At last count there were less than 500 people in the town and I'm guessing not that many of them are into disc golf. It's a quirky little setup that has a great start with #1 running almost 350' with a tight left side. #2 is a throw away, and then #3 splits the area behind the baseball field with trees and a very tight line. For what it's worth - it was a fun hole.

#4 is another throw away, but #5 is impressive shooting close to 400' depending on where you decide your box should be down a very tight shoot. The rest of the course is fairly mediocre. Basically, this is the type of course I would generalize for small town DG, and one I would recommend completing with a six pack in your bag. Besides the solitude, the park has a nice little playground to keep the kids occupied and there are bathrooms.

BEST HOLE/S: #1 & #5

Cons:

As much as I am impressed with having the luxury of a small town course to stop at in the middle of nowhere - there are definitely some glaring cons. First - #6 and #8 are missing pins and four holes don't have tee signs. On those holes I played the next tee are the target. Distance doesn't seem very accurate, but that a small issue compared to the others.

Second, and truly the bigger issue are the basic design flaws that create a number of safety issues. If there is ever a game going on or people playing in the park, it makes six of the nine holes unplayable. Three of the holes interfere with the baseball field, and three of the holes play around or literally over the playground area. In fact, #9 in general is a bit weird since you have to fly a building, the parking lot, and a pitching cage just to reach the pin back at the entrance to the park.

WORST HOLE/S: #6; #7; #8

Other Thoughts:

I'm always impressed with small town Americana. You've got a minuet town in the middle of Nebraska farmland that still decided it would be a good idea to roll out some baskets in the one park they have - I love it.

However, there are enough glaring issues to knock down the overall rating and I think the 1.0 disc rating is even a bit generous. Having said that - I still had a surprisingly enjoyable time in the middle of nowhere playing some weird and interesting holes.
