Even Nellie Oleson would love this course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 23, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great elevation changes.
Challenging basket locations - up hills and on edge of hills behind trees.
Nice baskets
Nice concrete tee pads.
Quiet and peaceful.
Good combination of long holes and short wooded holes.
Rec tees and Pro tees.

Cons:

They could upgrade the signs.
Only has 9 holes! If this could be changed it great.
I can take a while to find errant disks if you go off the fairway.

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the nicest courses in SW MN!
If you don't come play this one you are missing a real treasure. I had two deer walk across as I was standing on hole #9 to tee off.

Pros:

Awesome nine hole course! Great use of the terrain and park. Dual tee pads make it a good place for beginners and veteran players alike. Love the technicalness of this course as well.

Cons:

Lots of bugs, bring bug spray! ! ! ! Last couple holes are very windy and tall grass is unforgiving if you throw off the fairway. Would be alot better if it had nine more holes.

Other Thoughts:

Great, great course! Great use of terrain! A couple of very technical holes, which is awesome. The tall grass on the last three holes sucks! Lost my favorite disc, I was and still am very bummed out. If anyone finds it, there is a reward. Name and phone number is on it.

Little Course on the Prairie 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 9, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Dual Concrete Tee Pads (Amply sized)
-DGA Mach 5 baskets
-Trash cans and benches
-Accurate Signs
-Half of course's holes are short and technical, other half are longer, more open holes
-Very good use of elevation and terrain, even holes that don't have many trees will challenge you with vertical slopes
-Beginner friendly, however can challenge you for that birdie or ace for more advanced players
-has great flow and completes a loop back to the parking area
-Secluded, course is not that busy, if you run into other golfers they are usually friendly
-Holes #4,5,6, & 7 are especially well designed in my opinion
-Restrooms located towards start (middle if you play it as an 18)

Cons:

-Mowed fairways can be NARROW! Holes #5,7,& 8 are especially bad (bring a spotter if possible.)
-Holes #2 & 4 signs are peeled off (only really matters for first timers)
-Entrance to course is a little hidden (it's next to the tiny shelter)
-Wood ticks, BRING BUG SPRAY, spray some on your legs at least
-Can be buggy, not always the case
-Even with trash cans at the tee's, people still manage to litter occasionally (there was broken glass on a tee once, it is now since been swept)
-Hole #9 is rather wide open straight shot (this is just being picky though)

Other Thoughts:

This course is amazing and worth playing if you happen to be in the area. There are a lot of very fun holes through out and it has great scenery.
This out of the way course will surprise you with the quality put into it for such a small town.

The only things I can think of that could be improved to make it a 5 are:
-Fairways mowed WIDER for easier disc finding
-Reparation of signs
-MORE HOLES, this course is fun and leaves you wanting more

Great course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very clean, well-mowed fairways, great hole variety, two different tees for each hole.
Well-stocked information board complete with maps and scorecards.
Hole map at each tee was easy to understand, complete with par, distances, and large obstacles.
Concrete tee pads were a good length and pointed toward the basket.
Mulberries and wild raspberries were abundant... and tasty!

Cons:

Very tall grass outside the fairways, easy to lose discs - some holes had especially thick brush. Bring spotters, seriously!
Par is sometimes generous (7 and 8 are par 5, 450 feet and 415 feet)

Other Thoughts:

Amazing course for being 5 miles away from Walnut Grove (maybe 500 people live there). Nearby camping, swimming, picnic tables near hole 1. The whole course seemed to be well-taken care of.
I (an ameteur) went with my wife and in-laws (both 2nd time beginners) and we had a great time. The Red tees, though 50-100 feet shorter than Blue, made it much more fun for them. Beautiful scenery, lovely elevation changes - have fun with the lovely throw over the pond on #6!
