-Front 9 (New Holes) very fun and challenging! Would love to see more holes like these.
-Very peaceful location
-Baskets are in nice shape
-Tee pads are dirt but they aren't sloppy.
-Varies in distances greatly (I think I used every disc in my bag!)
-Awesome baskets. They catch everything.
-Cool use of old carved pine trees for tunnel alleys on holes 4-7.

-Very easy to get lost
-Needs an updated course map
-Dirt pads, some are bumpy, easy to slip
-Hole maps and distances are hard to follow and need to be updated
-hole maps are held up by construction flags
-some holes aren't challenging enough

I came and was impressed with the course right off of the bat, the first 9 holes were fantastic and fun to play but then I made my way to the back nine which contains most of the original holes and it was nothing to be impressed with. The holes weren't challenging nor fun to play and I had a hard time navigating my way around. The signs on the first nine are laminated sheets of paper stapled to a wooden post, the rest of the course either didn't have a sign, or it was a sheet of paper duck taped to a construction flag.

Though the course was a little out of shape, the owner(s) really do have good intentions of improving the course after a recent update by adding the new front 9 holes. There is also a donation box at the beginning. I really hope the back 9 are updated soon as I would love to come back and play some new holes that are a little more fun to play! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit, though I would love to see some TLC with the back 9 holes!

UPDATE:

I revisited the course a few times in the past week and a few improvements have been made. Still no pads or signs but the course just looks much nicer and is being well maintained, better than it looked a year ago. Limbs off of trees were cut to make some shots seem more reasonable. Continue with the hard work and this course could become one of my favorites!

Lots of good going on here.
- Nice Baskets!
- Benches. Benches everywhere.
Porta-John.
Ample garbage cans.
- Well kept lawn.
Picturesque prairies and pines. Rough was bearable.
- Many holes incorporate the hills.
- Good hole variety, good shot variety.
- There should be enough parking here, big lot.
- Signature Hole 17 is fun!

A few things stood out to me right away.
- Dirt pads. They didn't bother me too much but only because its been dry all the times I've been there.
- Needs an updated course map. (I'm sure its coming...)
- These links don't loop. Could be worse, though!
- Tee Signs looked pretty temporary.
- Some long grass in the rough makes for some tough huntin'.

I really like this course.
The redesign is awesome!
I seem overly critical in the Cons section because I'm nit picking. I'm not counting most of that against my overall rating of this fine course.

In short:
The elevation, short/long variety and trees are all well used.
The benches are great and the lawn is mowed.

The signs and map will come in time, I'm sure. Hopefully some concrete pads, too.

The only things that bothered me were the gratuitous, back-to-back open bombs on holes 13 and 14 and that Hole 18's layout and positioning really make it feel like an afterthought or a last resort. I would rather have ended on 17 and have had played a couple more tight, technical holes back in the trees.

To pass this course up now that its been expanded to 18 would be a shame! I'm really excited for the DGCR Hole Info to get updated and to see how the Village will be received.

Get to Clear Lake and try it out!
If you're like me you'll be all smiles.
