Something for Everyone 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 31, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ 3 different sets of tees
+ Tees are concrete and in great shape
+ 3 different possible basket locations on each hole
+ Good signage with distance and OB information
+ Signs and baskets show where next hole is/easy navigation
+ On site restrooms
+ Maintained very well
+ A good mix of distances and use of what elevation was available
+ Two island holes were clearly marked with wooden posts and even spray painted lines in the grass.
+ Practice baskets at the start (these were not obvious unless you paid close attention to the sign)

Cons:

- A bit too wide open
- Shared space with some walking trails running along side many holes
- Next to interstate with noisy traffic

Other Thoughts:

Looking through some of the other reviews they must be old. This park was well maintained and taken care of with nice baskets and signage. The baskets were in great shape. I only got to play the course once (Played the red tees with some younger players) and would love to get back and play other pin locations and tee shots. Even only playing one of the pin positions and tees I could tell that there was a variety of shots here and variety of holes. Hole 13 in the long basket position was my favorite hole needing to get yourself into a good position off of the tee to attack the island green on the next shot. The course is more wide open then I would want but there are a few holes that have some mandos or island greens to try to increase the technicality. With so much variety on the pin locations and tees this is a course that would be fun to play over and over.

Max E. Roper course review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

I like this course because it is one of the very few 27 hole courses out there. Low traffic and well maintained, it is a fun course with short to long throws and a few elevation changes.

Cons:

The course throws along a highway, a neighborhood, and a creek with a 15 foot drop off so it is easy to lose a disc in some places especially on very windy days.

Wide open & Long holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 10, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice short front nine, gets you warmed up for the long bombers in the back 18. Wide open for big long lines. Alternate tees are great for us that play only at roper. Also a great course for playing safari.

Cons:

To open when its real windy. Ne gets some killer wind and makes those big hill shots very tough. Not sure if thats completely a bad thing though.

Other Thoughts:

Great course, fun to play. Not an easy course but is all at the same time. New challenges every time I play

Good course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 23, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Challenging course with many different shot types. I am new to the sport and feel I can really hone my skills here. Long shots, short short, benders each way! Really enjoy this course.

Cons:

A lot of grass over grown with weeds and long grass makes finding great shots hard some times. Missing some signs. Pretty open so wind is a pain on those days where it is really blowing.

Very Nice 2+ years drive by

Lots of holes(27) The holes move often enough. Lots of shade on hot days. Long and short holes give a good variety. Putting practice hole.

A bad throw could be lost in the creek. The last nine are usually not "wind friendly".

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 17, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

27 holes is great! and all in grass. there is a good variety of of holes from short to long. Mulitple tee pads and they move baskets more often than other courses I have played. this helps keep it interesting in a town with not many courses to play. the trees make pretty good shade on a big portion of the course.

Cons:

can get crowded and some people don't have good"disc etiquette" I have been thrown on without warning while playing alone multiple times. have to watch out for joggers,bikers, etc. as the bike path is close on lots of holes. most people not playing disc here seem to beoblivious to the sport and the fact these discs will hurt if they were hit with one. hole 27 can get groups of these people not paying attention out in the grass close to the hole not to mention the playground is close to it.

Long, Long, AND Still Longer. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 1, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

27 holes with a long walk between holes can make for a heck of workout. This course is not heavily wooded, but it does have a 15' foot drop-off into a winding creek that does go throughout the park. The cement tee pads are plenty long enough and are in great shape. This park has a restroom and trashcans. It gets really busy at times since it is the main course in Lincoln. There are a few walkers, but this isn't too much of a problem. A local told me even when it is crowded, it moves along pretty well. I really like teeing off #21 from the top of a hill with 600 plus feet to the hole. Some holes do have that risk/reward factor with the creek. The fun factor was here for me. There was great variety of distances between the many holes.

Cons:

Some of the tee signs are missing. Some of the distances on the map are off a bit; due to hole changes, but it is pretty close. You will need the map to follow along, as the distance between holes can be as long as some of the holes themselves.

Other Thoughts:

This was a fair course being that most of the holes were a straight shot. I did miss the mixing it up with trees and water and so forth. However, this course had plenty of challenges of it's own. It did seem to be well maintained and the golfers are keeping it very clean.
