Reviewed:
Played on:Oct 16, 2010
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Nice new Innova baskets (my personal favorite)
Good variation of tree species, heights and widths come into play. There is also a stream that can come into play on Hole 6 and 7.
Decent shot variation with a few chances to throw overhand shots as well as rollers.

Cons:
No signs or distances
No concrete tee pads (though the grass pads are still in decent shape)
Buildings and private yards could come into play and be dangerous for players with some power, but a lack of accuracy. However it shouldn't be an issue for better players, or complete noobs who can't throw past 150 ft yet.

Other Thoughts:
My brother goes to Dordt College so I just played this course about 4 times this morning before seeing his play and to be honest I had a lot of fun!! The fun started when my 13 yr old brother aced the first hole and then continued when I threw I nice skip shot on #2 that came in behind the pines and hit the pole.
This is a mostly short course, but with a few unique holes. (#6 was quite fun with a stream running nearby. I tried thumbers, rollers and spike hyzers on this hole with my thumbers producing the most birdies)
Some Mando's and out-of-bounds could go a long way to keeps things both safe fun. I hope that they'll take that into consideration if they ever made signs.
#5 was probably the only "long" hole, I'm guessing around 340'-360', but #6 and #8 offer great chances at overhand shots and spike hyzers. I birdied every hole here during the course of playing threw it 4 times and was delighted at how many different kinds of shots I was able to throw for a 9 hole course
This course will give better players a chance to "show off" a bit with some ace runs and chances to throw some specialty shots (thumbers, tomahawks, rollers, spike hyzers etc.) but more importantly it gives the Dordt college kids something to do in this little town! I know it's been nice for my brother to be able to run 10 minutes from campus, get a round in and run back and I'd like to thank whoever initiated this project. It's easy to see that this course has already been well used and well loved by the locals.
