Pros:

-Nice Large Concrete Tees

-Good map at the start
-Baskets OK
-Several blind tee shots
-Mostly stays away from other park activities

Cons:

-Signs missing on #5 and #8A
-Couple of tees a little sand buried
-Some annoying road noise on #1, #2, #8, #9
-Did not find the #3B tee spot or sign

Other Thoughts:

Roadside Park hosts a good DGC on the north end of Alton, IA. The course works it's way clockwise around a pond at the center of the park. Ample tees and decent signage await your start. Only 2 holes over 260', but a couple of water carries and several blind tee shots add to the mix. Both water carries have bail out tees, although I was unable to locate the #3B tee or signage. Most holes have benches and trashcans to accommodate. The upkeep here seems a bit lacking with 3 signs missing, a couple of tee boxes getting swallowed in sand and a couple of rough areas around the baskets. The overall design is nice with the risk/reward elements in place and a long finisher at just over 450'. Fix / replace the signage, tidy up a bit and this course is even better. I would play again, if in the area.
