Just go to Larson Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 12, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The baskets are fine and tee boxes are concrete. Navigation is easy - every tee box is close to the previous basket.

There are a lot of trees to block the South Dakota wind, although most of the fairways are open. The only reason my group would go to this course was if it was very windy (bad for the more open Larson Park).

Cons:

The course is very flat.
It isn't very appealing visually (the water hazard is a culvert).
It is easy, and all the holes are short (I think there's only one over 300', if that)
It is right next to a road, so a good drive or overthrow on an approach will lead to a disc in the road.

Other Thoughts:

This course is maintained by the university but is open for the public to play.

Most will enjoy the nearby Larson Park course much better.

The U did what they could. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 2, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Nice beginners course.
-Holes and boxes marked, wont get lost.
-No real hazzards to lose discs. Hazzards in description are kinda there but not really.
-Layout offers variety of shots. Hole 5 requires some thinking and everybody has their own method.

Cons:

-Too small.
-All holes very short.
-Will be absolutely crowded on a nice day during the school year.
-Hole 9 was removed for construction and is likely gone forever. It wasn't an exceptional hole or anything but it's only an 8 holer now.
-The baskets are getting old. They work just fine, more of a cosmetic complaint.

Other Thoughts:

Its a beginners course on a college camps. Its a course but nothing special.
