Longer Course in the Floodplain 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Nice baskets
+Great length and variation of length
+Some mature trees to provide obstacles. A few early shots had interesting low ceilings.
+Concrete tees (mostly buried under flood residue)
+You probably won't lose a disc here.
+It was easy enough to find my way around here despite the lack of signs.
+Probably not a busy course at all.

Cons:

-The signs are good looking but pretty much worthless, especially on blind holes.
-You cross the road or play near it a few times during the round. It is easy to throw onto it while people are driving by.
-There is no elevation here at all. It is a flood plain.
-Most holes were longer than I like but not long enough to be two real shots. They were easy 3s but nearly impossible 2s for me. It was probably not the right design level for a park course in Iowa.
-Flooding had taken out signs, knocked trees over, and left silt all over the whole course including the trees. I don't know if this was full grass before but not it is a little grass growing out of sandy silt.
-There aren't enough trees to really force too many shots here, especially on the last 4 holes.
-Too many groups couldn't play here at the same time due to the back and forth nature of the layout on a few holes. You would have to keep your head up. Nobody else was there when I was though.

Other Thoughts:

-The fun factor for this course was pretty low for me. It was the wrong length for my skill level, it was damaged by flooding, and there is no elevation and not enough trees. If you want to practice bomber throws with a tree or two to avoid, this is your place.
-This course is worth a stop if you're in the area but don't go out of your way for this course.
+This course might get a 3 disc rating from me if it were in peak condition. It has been a few months since the flooding and it looks like no one has put any effort into improving the disc golf course.
