Throwing at the fairgrounds

Pros:
Sibley DGC is a cute park like 9 hole course behind the fairgrounds in the small town of Sibley in Northwest Iowa.
Nice course map at the start showing overall layout and hole distances.
Teepads are natural, baskets are discatchers in decent condition, though have seen better days.
Course plays in a "lollipop" fashion, out and back right to left, no navigation issues in this little park.
Some shot shaping required, but most average players should have no trouble getting their par.
Beginner friendly and a nice flat park to throw and stroll around in.
Not much chance to lose a disc but for the holes 6-8 if one were to really shank it off to the right although the tree line seemed thick enough to prevent much penetration.

Cons:
The course also is a campground. Most fairways play right through campsites (you might notice the utility poles in the pics). There were no campers when I played although the folks there for the horse show had trailers parked on a few holes.
Hole 6 seemed to be pretty overgrown and there was a tree down on hole 8, otherwise the park was nicely mowed and in overall fine condition.

Other Thoughts:
I debated on whether to post pics since there are not usually horse trailers parked on some of the holes, but figured they give a good idea of what the holes look like anyway.
First time I've had the chance to pause mid-round and watch some kind of horse show. Don't know much about that world but it was fun watching them race back and forth, and the sizable crowd was certainly into it.

Pros:
+Nice baskets. They are pretty new and in decent condition.
+Signage is pretty good and includes all that you need to know. The flow is solid and easy to follow the course around. It loops around the park pretty well.
+The park is nice and well maintained. There are other activities here but they shouldn't really interfere with disc golf. The course itself also appears to be used sparsely so you could have the whole park to yourself.
+Good mix of hole lengths for a rec level course. It is on the short side but that isn't a bad thing for a town this size. It is aimed at beginner players and families.
+Good mix in amounts of trees. It is park style so there are never any ridiculous tree filled holes but some will be considered pretty tight for beginners. Other holes are pretty open but all still have some obstacle.
+Some ace runs.
+Shouldn't lose a disc here.

Cons:
-Natural tees, they aren't bad as this course isn't played often but could always be better.
-Short rec course, don't go there expecting a gold course. This course won't challenge experienced players.
-No elevation at all.

Other Thoughts:
-There isn't much to say in the cons section about this course. It is a rec course with a decent fun factor. There isn't anything inherently wrong with the course but due to its short length, lack of elevation and natural tees, it can't be rated highly.
-This course isn't worth going out of your way for but it is a decent course if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed if you expect a shorter park course.
