Very hilly holes. You will find yourself walking on slanted slopes for much of this course. You will also find yourself trying to land plastic in accordance with slopes on many holes; in an attempt to keep your disc as the spot you intend; rather than 100 or more feet away after rolling.
These fairways are fair; but elevation shots should be penalized for smaller error than flat shots; and this happens here; as there is trouble if your float on a number of holes; i.e. woods off to the side, or a very slanted stance on the next shot; if your placement works out badly; etc.
There is also a wooded section with some elevation; but basically technical shots.
Wonderful tees and signage.
The day we were here; there were at least 10 park employees working on the course....unbelievable!! Chips were being placed, roadways were being swept, trash emptied, a surveying crew was even out; making plans for some future course improvement.
Good balance of right and left holes; most with multiple options to pin.
Course uses the amount of land available well. They have been allowed to stretch the disc play to all edges of property.
Rollaway greens.
A few low ceiling shots required.
Some pavement for possible o.b. play available.
Building kind of in play on a couple of holes; for a different look.
Nice long concrete tees. Benches.

We were here on a weekday, and only had park's employees to dodge for the most part. However, it is evident that at other times, other park users could very well cause conflict. (Holes near building...holes near parking...top area with walking paths, etc....)
Even with good signage, there is some walking and a bit of good navigation needed to find your way a couple of times.
Not really a con, but, be forewarned that there is a fair amount of side hill travel required here. In other words, those with bad knees, ankles, or hips, may want to play elsewhere.
One set of tees.

Prospect is not outstanding from a shot stand point. However, many shots require elevation placement in a way that is fairly unique. Many heavily slanted fairways force you to think how your disc will land. You will also be forced to shoot second shots from uneven stances (i.e. uphill or downhill lies). Many courses have one or two of these type holes; Prospect has a number of them.
Only the fact that the Quad Cities area has some outstanding disc in general; puts this one to the lower end of their courses.
I would rate West Lake, Camden, Devils Glen, and even Butterworth, a bit higher than this course. We liked Prospect better than Longview and Eastern. (Longview has similar hill play to Prospect, but Longview is a much tougher course to navigate ).

The course plays through a large hilly park with some open rolling areas, and some areas with scattered mature trees. A few holes play through more wooded outskirts of the park with more dense trees and some underbrush off the fairway to catch errant shots. There is a great variety of more open shots and ones that you need to shape lines to avoid trees. The elevation is used very well here to make you shoot up and down the hills, as well as some great pin placements where you can roll a long way if you go for a putt and miss it.

Many holes have multiple lines you can take, the ones that are tighter do a good job of forcing a few right to left shots and a few left to right shots for some balance. There are definitely some ace run holes here, including a couple with fun elevation to keep it more interesting. There are also some longer holes that still require you to throw accurately to either stay out of brush or to avoid going out of bounds with a street or walking path.

There are nice large concrete tees, which are all level even on sloped holes. The tee signs are plenty descriptive and there is enough signage that navigation is never really an issue on this course despite a couple long walks between holes. There are nice paths and staircases where necessary to go up and down the hills so a muddy day wouldn't make this course that bad to play. The park is well taken care of with plenty of trashcans and obviously constant maintenance.

This course is fun, but is a little lacking in challenge. Most of the holes have multiple lines so that you're not forced to throw different shots very often, and other than a couple longer holes there isn't enough distance that most of the holes aren't easily reachable on a decent drive.

The park is very crowded, and the course plays right next to and sometimes over other park uses. The fishing pond isn't really in play, but the holes that play near it all had people fishing in places that a disc could easily end up. Many holes played over walking paths, sometimes blindly, and there were lots of people using these paths so it could be a real safety issue if people aren't careful.

This is another fun course in the Quad Cities area, and worth a stop if you're in the area. There are definitely some fun elevation shots here, and though it's not the most challenging course, it is a very pretty park and a nice walk.

Beginners will enjoy the elevation and the reasonable distances here, and there aren't many places to really lose a disc. More experienced players will have some fun on several holes here, but will need to look elsewhere for real challenge.

-Super hilly, almost all holes play the hills, making for some fast greens
-great big concrete pads, great signs with lengths, and suggested route
-Lots of variety in shot types hyzer anhyzer straight, roller if you're brave
-good mix of uphill, downhill, flat and throw over valley holes
-good mix of hole length, a lot of short holes reachable with mids or putters but a few longer holes
-mature trees throughout the park

-Parking was a bit ambiguous and limited, I parked by the bandshell/pond area, (start on 9), I couldn't figure out where to park for hole one, but the parking lot there seemed a bit limited also.
-I have a feeling that on a nice summer weekend day this park can be dangerous to play in, there is a walking path that winds throughout the park and a fishing pond that supposedly gets fished quite a bit.
-the walking path in some area leaves a bit to be desired, lots of erosion issues
-Some nasty drainage issues on hole 9 up by the pin I sank down to my ankle in nasty drainage water, also the paths in the woods are super slick after rain.
-very few facilities that I saw (no bathrooms or water)

Overall this is a good course, I really enjoyed the shots here and many of the holes were quite memorable. However I'd probably pass this one up for some of the other courses in the area (the camdens, middle park, devils glen, west lake, richmond hills, eagle point (clinton) and fuller (muscatine) because I like more challenge in dg courses, but to me this is better than eastern and longview but I'd definitely play this course again for a good rec challenge.
-I'd put this on the tougher end of rec courses.
-The pars here are inaccurate, play all par 3s
