Since this is being treated as a separate course , then I am going to grade it as such . It sits more in the middle of the park , where there might be slightly more picnic goers and free lance walkers . There is plenty of parking available in all of the park , but if you are accessing this from the 18 holer , then pick it up starting with hole 2 , from the 11th hole of the 18 holer . The course goes clockwise around a perimeter of the park . It starts out somewhat open , throwing 200' under a canopy of trees . The next hole is 100' longer and more wide open . The course will propel you into a tighter section of holes after #4, which is a 200 foot dogleg left and a pretty easy hole . #5 can put you into some trouble throwing downhill into a gully with high grass on both sides and some protection in front of the hole . My signature hole would be #7 , a 400 foot risk reward shot with a fairway area about 250' out where you can lay your drive down , then cover the final 150' on your approach . It is pretty narrow and the wind can catch you disc and throw it into the bushes if you falter . The last 2 holes are <300 footers that will take you right back to #1 . A pretty quick round if played by itself and you don't have to look for your disc on 5 or 7 . Good grippy concrete tee pads , baskets in good shape , and very easy to follow .

Same goofy signs as the 18 holer . Not challenging for the better players . Can lose a disc or spend a lot of time searching for yours on 5 ,6 ,or 7 . Can have some kids from one of the shelter houses wander out on hole #1 or 9 , especially . Not as crowded as the 18 holer , as some of those will skip this part .

I would personally play this as additional 9 added onto my 18 hole course each time , but if you are pressed for minutes and have to be back home in an hour then , by all means hit this for a short round . The fun factor in the Meadowview 9 makes it just as appealing , so do yourself a favor and play these holes .

This course can be played by itself or as the whole 27 hole loop when you start on Apple Creek. If you start on Apple Creek you can jump onto this course after hole 11. You'll be able to play this then jump back on Apple Creek and finish that course. There's concrete tees on every hole here too. These tees are all in real good shape and all level and grip well. The baskets are Mach 3's with the number plates on top just like Apple Creek. These also are all in good shape and catch fine. There's a good amount of distance here. The shortest hole 196 feet on hole 4 up to 396 feet on hole 7. They call this Meadowview because a few of the holes play through a prairie/meadow area. A number of different shots are required here too. The tee signs are just like Apple Creek's. They have hole #, basic hole diagram, par and distance. The flow is pretty easy to follow, I was confused in a couple spots though it wasn't anything major. There's a little bit of elevation and quite a few trees on these 9 holes. there are trash cans throughout the course.

Again, the hole diagrams on the tee signs are pretty much useless. They don't give you any idea of where the basket is. The rough can be pretty brutal on a number of the later holes. It's only open late spring to late fall. It'd be cool if it was open year round. Also there seems to be quite a bit of unused areas in the later part of this course. Maybe they'll eventually add another 9 holes.

This along with Apple Creek make for a fun day of disc golf. I personally liked this course better than Apple Creek. I'd recommend checking this course out if you're in the area.

Nice fairways
Good cement tees
Good variatey of shots
Tee signs are there they just are not descriptive

Gets pretty rough if you dont put it on the fairway
All of the holes are pretty long and not beginner friendly
Bugs come out at dusk

I enjoyed this course but if it was not connected to Plamann 18 I probally would have never played it

1) good area
2) manucured fairways
3) cement tees, good footing for drives
4) makes a good 27 holes if u play with Plamann Park 18

1) the rough is VERY rough in places and there is lots of thorn bushes
2) tee signs are VERY undescriptive

overall the course is pretty good, it is a lot more secluded and less busy than the Plamann Park 18 hole course, and is more secluded and quiet

-A nice mix of holes surrounded by thick rough
-Picks up at Plamann hole #12
-Benches
-Cement teepads
-Signs
-Trash recepticles at most holes
-Good basket placements force risk reward situations, most on this 9 are tucked into the shule or around sharp corners making them trickey to get to.
-Nice elevation changes and a mix of shots, short/long/left/right etc...
-Nice maintained fairways

-Thick rough
-Play with Plamanns other 18 hole course

This is 9 holes that can be played separately or as an add-on to the 18-hole Apple Creek course at Plamann Park (1st tee pad is around hole #12). Many of the holes are similar in nature to the Apple Creek course, a bit hilly with mature trees scattered throughout a wide-open mowed grassy area but there are a few holes in the middle of the round that are cut through some tall grassey medows and pine trees. These holes are easy enough to play except that there is a chance to lose a disc in the tall grass due to the very narrow mowed trails through the grass on some fairways. Keep your discs on the fairway and you will be fine. None of the holes are overwhelmingly long.

Good challenge in terms of requiring accurate distance. Success on holes 3 and 4 hinges on throwing a right-to-left drive. Good variety of holes for only being a 9 hole diversion. Grass in the fairways is always neatly cut. Concrete tee pads, signs, and benches for every hole. Roughly half of the holes are flexible in terms of alternate workable routes available for your drive. It's as cleanly maintained as its neighbor Apple Creek and should be experienced.

Thickly wooded holes are brutally punishing for missed drives. Keep a very close eye and have someone spot your drives, because it's possible to be standing directly over a disc in the rough and not see it. This portion of Plamann is always more thinly populated than Apple Creek, due to punishing rough. I also suspect that the casual Plamann golfers just aren't up for an extra nine holes. With a little thinning out of the rough, this nine could be on par with the rest of Plamann.

Play Apple Creek up to hole 11, then jump to hole 2 of Meadowview. Finish with Meads hole 1, then continue to hole 12 of Apple Creek. It would be nice if the extra 9 holes were placed at the end of the round, rather than inserted into the back nine of Apple Creek.

1) Nice concrete tee pads add to the playability of this course.

2) Again nice looking tee signs with distances listed.

3) Benches on every tee and garbage cans are plentiful to help provide a very clean park.

4) Overall this 9 hole course has some challenges. Mostly the challenege comes on the middle holes. The first two and last two are not very difficult and can easily be parred or dueced. The others have more diffuclt shots to execute and because the maintenance is not where they mow everything in site on these holes, you can end up with some tough lies. Good and bad (good because it adds some challenge, but bad because it makes the appearance not as attractive. I am not saying they need to maintain everything, but that could selectively get rid of the thorny and invasive plant species in the meadow area.

5) For the most part this 9 holes could be considered beginner friendly with only one hole over 300' and a couple under 200'. There will be some challenge and you will have to still execute the shot, but you can generally recover from one bad shot.

6) Slight to moderate elevation change on a few of the holes is an added benefit, just like it is on the Apple Creek 18.

1) Truly only 5 of the holes are set in the Meadowview part of the park. 1, 2, 8, 9 are set in a similar property to the Apple Creek course where there are just large mature trees that you need to avoid in more open feeling park setting with maintained turf on the entire hole. The other true meadowview holes either run through the meadow, along the meadow, into the meadow, or out of the meadow.

2) Maintenance of the meadow areas is a little lacking. As I have said I dont mind that they don't want to mow the entire area in fact I like that there is a prairie feel out on some of these holes, but there is invasive species and some thorny plants, that if those were removed selectively these holes would look and play much better.

3) There is a little bit of compaction ocurring in a few spots where people walk in the same place. This ocurrs when the grass isn't mowed and is bound to only get worse over time. It isn't reason to mow wall to wall, but those areas could have multiple paths so that gives the people options to walk in mowed turf instead in just one 5'-10' wide area.

4) Signs although helpful with the distance, do not have any sort of diagram of the hole. This may be intentional because the holes are stll changing, but in the end if you are gonna buy these expensive signs you might as well put a general layout of the hole on there, adding or moving baskets on these signs is always possible.

It is sortof hard for me to differentiate between the courses because I played them for the first time and went from hole #11 on Apple Creek to Meadowview and then back to Apple Creek, so they kindof all fit together. I think this course had some good holes but it also had a few holes with not enough maintenance done (or true fairways). There was a little more underbrush, most of it wasn't buckthorn it was more Red Twigged dogwood, some prairie grasses, a few volunteer trees sprouting up, but there were a few areas with some thorny type plants too. I would like to see these issues better maintained to provide with a much more consistant feel between courses. It does feel like a seprate course and maybe that is intentional by the designer to provide 9 holes that feel very different than the original 18. However, only half of the holes in my opinion are truly "Meadowview" holes. #1, 2, 8, 9 are still much similar to the Apple Creek hole design than they are to the other 5 holes on Meadowview. This isn't a huge deal, but if they are to create 2 different courses, I would like to see consistancy between the courses or complete differentiation. It does not bring the disc rating down in my opinion because it is simply a design flaw (one that doesnt affect playability, but it does effect the overall appearance).

I wanted to give this a higher grade but I just cannot. I think the maintenance will improve over time and some issues on this course can be resolved making it a much better course. I will edit my review when I see that this has happened, but until then it remains a 3. I do think it has the potential to move up to 3.5 but the property doesn't lend itself to anything higher than that probably.

Amenities like the Apple Creek 18. (See my review) Meadowview adds tight technical holes to the more open Apple Creek 18. This added difficulty makes the posted pars close to correct!

Thick shule makes it easy to lose discs. Most of my critisms of the Apple Creek 18 apply here. Signage, crowding, and basket visibility all could be improved. Hole lengths and pars are somewhat better, but would benefit from a reassessment.

This course will benefit from more play, and it complements the other 18.

Like the 18, this course has all nice (new) concrete pads, good baskets and ornate signs with hole distance and par in addition to a hole map.

This course plays on a rolling hills in a mix of prairie, woods, and field with scattered mature trees.

The locals told me beforehand that this 9 was harder than the 18 holes on the main course. Yeah right, I thought. Turns out, they were telling the truth.

This is like a souped up version of the old 18. The tree routes are tighter, and fairways a bit narrower, and the hyzers more extreme. At least half the baskets on this bunch at blind off the tee, usually around a sharp curve uphill or downhill.

The first few holes of this course weave through the scattered trees of the more open area, for a variety of lines and canopy shots, but its once you venture into the woods/prairie area that this course kicks it up a notch. The rough is long grass, with several strategically placed trees to constrict your lines and make shot placement important, if you want to land on the mowed fairways.

The course throws some interesting challenges at you in here. On one hole, you are constricted off the tee by two bushy pine trees, which you are forced to throw between before emerging into the fairway, which winds and curves over a hill. It makes it awkward to drive, since you have to bend it just to get one towards the basket.

Another hole has two trees framing the sides of the fairway, followed by a a large wide tree what occupies the center of the fairway, creating a chokepoint, beyond which the basket is on a downhill slope for a tricky putt.

This 9-hole loop is more interesting, and more difficult than the 18 hole it sits next to, because it throws a few more tricks at you, and is less forgiving. This course is (3.25), Better than Good, almost Very Good.

Unfortunately, this course also shares some of the same glaring flaws as its more mature big brother, specifically the ridiculous hole maps. They look cool, but do a terrible job telling you the hole layout. Unfortunately, in this case, with less open obvious shots than the 18, good hole maps are even more important, and this shortcoming is that much more annoying.

But thats a dead horse. Though this course offers 3 very good holes, the rest are just solid. Comparing it to other 9 holers I've rated higher, it doesnt stack up, so I can't quite call it very good, but this course isnt quite Very Good.

You can play this course with the 18 holes for a loop of 27 very easily. After hole 12, you will see the tee for hole 2 of this 9 on the right. start there, and just play hole 1 after 9. It'll spit you right back next to Tee 13 to resume the main course.

On the holes with long grass, its a good idea to have a spotter, as discs can get lost in the long stuff.

A beautiful continuation of original 18. As other reviewers have expressed, the rough isrougher here than on the original. This keeps the number of players down. Plaman can be a very crowded course. However, when the main course is full to bursting, you can usually come here and play with a little breathing room.
Hole #8 (usually played as #7;as you begin on #2 if coming from original layout); is type of hole not often seen anymore....I don't know why? Requires a @280 ft. tall ess or a roller to reach. #9 is a wide anheiser (rhbh), that while not long; is fairly tough wide swing for rhbh; or a good shot to work on forehand (for rhbh).

Keep a good eye on your plastic. Fairly narrow mowed fairways with tall grass, bushes, and trees on both sides.

Benches and trash cans are plentiful as in the rest of the park.
From original course....after playing #11, walk to #12 tee; and just to left of it, will be tee for #2, Meadowview course. Begin here, to play full 27 hole course....finishing on what is labeled #1. This is due to the fact that you can park at the back lot to play Meadowview only. Follow park road around park, and park by big pavilion after coming up the big hill; if you want to only play Meadowview; or begin play here.
