+ State park course with mix of elements including woods, water, elevation, open bombers and multiple baskets


+ Great views of lake, distant hillsides and huge federal dam


+ The course opens with some dramatic elevation changes: hole #1 throws to a long flat from a hillside tee, hole #2 throws off a bluff with the lake bordering the entire back of the hole, #3 and #5 are tough uphills. Unlike other courses with dramatic elevation changes, it's not all about elevation here. There are plenty of flat holes on the rest of the course that challenge you with woods, tight greens - and that lake

+ Nothing unfair or poorly designed; no hole feels "stuck in"

~ The course plays in three sections (1-5, 6-11, and 12-18) making for several very long walks between sections. But it's worth the walks, because you're transitioning to the wooded section, and then to the lakeside section


~ The additional red baskets add challenge, and they change the total length from 5700 to 7800. Most of them require you to change discs or shot shape to get to the basket. The red baskets on the closing holes are so tight on the shoreline that water is inside C1, forcing real control with high hyzer runs. But the red baskets don't create a "championship length" course like the addition of back tees can


~ In fact, the only thing Prompton is missing is elite length. It's a terrific course for recreational players, providing more than enough challenge coming in various forms of elevation changes, tight woods and water. Big arms and elite players can shred this course - but they'll probably enjoy the views


COURSE AMENITIES:
Excellent poured concrete tees, good baskets, very good signage (holes are named). The early holes are a physical workout, and benches would be welcome. No problem for carts. The length of the walk would argue for carts, but the hillsides are such a pain to drag them up.


~ Surprised to see it's been 4 years since the most recent review, and I'm happy if my review brings this course to the attention of players in the area

-Beautiful scenery overlooking dam/lake/park
-maps on every hole with names!
-very good signage. won't get lost
-nice elevation changes
-course is groomed often

-spotty cell phone signal
-a few very long walks but lots of nature can take your mind off it. saw two foxes as i walked across the bridge

-Beware teeing off #2 as it's easy to launch into the lake.
Also #17 for thick bushes that will swallow your discs whole or tree limbs that can bounce you into the water.

Army Corp of Engineers grounds keepers and volunteers do a fantastic job and keep the course pristine. Fairways are mowed so frequently that the place looks like a pay to play ball golf course.

Beautiful scenery with the lake, dam and rolling hills in play.

Two pins for every hole, pro and am. All were in great shape. The pars set are fair, but the pro pin positions are def. for the pros.

Nice elevation changes. Must be in decent shape to complete course. Great exercise to be had.

Good signage. Only one or two pads were hard to find the first time playing through.

Plenty of chances to let it rip far and wide.

Not much in way of variety of shots. The few wooded corridor shots are very nice though.

No water fountains to be found. Portajohns here and there.

A few more benches and trash cans would be a welcome addition. Its not all that bad as is.

Water in the lake is deep and there is no swimming allowed. Once its in, its in.

Wind can get pretty wild and make the most stable of discs do some wacky things.

Rubber pads. Concrete pads would be a cherry on this delicious cake.

Probably the nicest, most well maintained course I've been to yet! I wish I lived closer. Not to be missed. It puts my home course at Field of Dreams and the surrounding courses to shame in terms of quality and cleanliness. Well worth the trip! Can't wait to play it again. Well done to the designers, grounds keepers, and volunteers who make this course a cut above the rest!

Beautiful views, well manicured with long and short baskets for each hole. The tee boxes are rubber and in great shape. The signage for each tee was perfect and there are signs at the end of each hole to guide you to the next tee. There were scorecards provided in a box at the end of the parking lot. There is a big map of the course posted at the start. I like to take a photo of it to refer to on the course. Out of bounds were clearly marked. Every basket is in great shape and marked with it's hole number.

Only very minor complaints here. There are no permanent bathrooms with running water, but there are plenty of porta pottys that were very clean.There's no fountain or any place to get water so make sure you bring enough water with you. The course is very long and will give newbies and short distance throwers some problems.There is a lot of walking on this course because it plays long and there are some holes that are spread far apart. There are some steep elevations which could make it hard on someone who is not in good shape. Not all holes have a bench to rest after long holes.

This is the best course I've played yet. It is beautiful, clean and the grass is well maintained. The workers who were manicuring the course even stopped to let us play through and offered advice. Long throwers and experienced players will do well but still find it interesting. Newbies and short distance throwers will find this really challenging, but it will force them to develop their game You will get a thorough workout playing here. This course is good enough to host a professional tournament. It's simply amazing.

The location is beautiful and the park is well maintained especially in the past year. There is excellent use of elevation and multiple basket placements. You really get the chance to air out drives on many holes but there are still a few technical drives added in the past few years that definitely improve the overall play.

There are quite a few holes that are beautiful and long but are essentially just in an open field. This is a pro and a con because sometimes it is fun to be able to rip and not worry about losing a disc but when I used to play this course exclusively it didn't teach me to control my disc flight path.

This is my favorite course in the area hands down and one if the best courses I have ever played. It's worth the drive! It is well maintained and has brand new tee markers that allow you to easily navigate the course. If you love to launch on drives this is the place for you.
