Nice City Park Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 21, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Concrete Tee Pads
-Nice Signage
-Some interest with trees
-Good risk/reward hole (#5)
-Benches / a few trashcans

Cons:

-Tee pads oddly shaped, a little short
-Tee Sign #2 missing
-Walking Path in play on #4, 5, 7, 8
-Shelter in Play on #3, and 7

Other Thoughts:

River DGC is located in Belmond River Park, near the center of Belmond, IA. A fairly typical city park course with mostly straightforward lines with some trees in play. Hole #5 gives more of a risk/reward to a blind basket and #9 shoots through 2 lines of trees. The signage here is interesting. It is large with good detail and something to say on each (see pictures). Sign for tee #2 is missing and the sign for #8 was very sun bleached. My concern here is the other park activities. Shelters come into play on a couple of holes and a walking path rolls right through the middle coming into play on 4 holes. I played on a Friday afternoon with a relatively quiet park, a few pedestrians. I can see it being an issue during more peak times. The path and shelter issues keep the rating down for me. I did enjoy my round and would play again, if in the area.

Small town Iowa 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 10, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Very well upkeep
-Signs were big, nice, and very detailed.
-Good tee pads
-A couple of holes play along the river, but far enough away it shouldn't be a problem unless you really miss your shot.
Fairly easy to find from the road. Just make sure you go the park part and not the RV part...but at the same time you could fly by it if you are not looking.

Cons:

- I didnt like how close it ran to private property on 6 or the one room schoolhouse on 7. Not much they could do about it because of space, but i dont like going into someones yard to get my disc.

Other Thoughts:

It was a nice little course. A little different than others. It would be worth playing again, but I wont go that far out of my way to play it. Some holes did have some minor challenges, but playing all par 3's you could easily shoot under par.
