An 18 hole course with concrete tees, signs and a good set of Discatchers rarely comes in at anything less than good in my book. Veteran's in Fulton fits the bill in that respect.

It has a few tricky spots, but isn't excessively difficult. The pond is lurking on hole 6, and that mando on 15 can get you if you don't follow through. My favorite hole might have been 16. It tees off next to the pond, and that slight elevation makes the line through the trees on the way to the pin just a little bit tougher.

On the whole, distance is pretty manageable, and the fairways aren't crowded. There is thick rough in places, a water hazard and some OB roads and walking paths to keep you in line.

The layout is a bit choppy, especially in the first few holes. Crossing roads, past the skate park, around the ball field, to the other side of the playground, then doubling back a couple of times. With all of the other activities available here other users of the park may be close to the disc golf fairways at times. I was there on a Sunday morning, post brunch round and people were using most all of the facilities on site, but there were no serious interruptions.

The photos from 2011 are out of date, but the map is current luckily. I suggest having a copy close at hand.

Verteran's Park is a complete course with pretty good holes sprinkled throughout. Not the most challenging but it held my interest.

I shot a 52 the first time around, 2 under par. Missed plenty of opportunities to get lower, with 7 birds and 5 bogies. A string of 4 consecutive birdies on holes 10 through 13 had me walking tall starting out the back 9.

It isn't going to make the top 10 courses in central MO on my list, but I am glad I chose to make the stop in Fulton. It was a good warmup before being humbled at Joseph C Miller on my way home.

A well maintained course in a town of about 12,000 people.
Well placed amenities

A couple of holes 6, 10, and 12 sometimes compete with park visitors.
All holes are under 400 feet.

A fun, relaxing course.
The local club is very helpful and accepting of visiting players.

Short course, right through Veterans Park. Nice and challenging, but fun to play. Fairly short. Well laid out, considering it has to compete with other park amenities/uses, and I even got my first birdie there! Good parking, nice tee signs, good pads.

Because of being in the middle of a multi-use park, some of the tee and target locations are a little awkward, but the course is designed as well as it could be. A lot of Mandos, again because of multi-use.

Overall, I enjoyed playing this course, and even being an hour away, will plan more trips there.

Nice use of land. The holes are not long but none are completely open. The mature trees, elevation and water hazards make this course very enjoyable without making it frustrating. Nice large concrete tee pads. Really nice descriptive Tee signs at every hole. Park is always well manicured so no bushwacking is required if you stay in the fairway. Trash cans at most holes.

Course may be too forgiving for a more advanced player but it is a ton of fun for your average Am. player. A couple holes play close to other park ammenities.

Be careful not to release early on the water holes because your not going to want to be in the nasty creek water.
