Ice Cream, No Cherry on Top! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 3, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

It IS the nicest course you will find in the 4 county area. pretty well kept up and neat. the baskets are nice. there is some longer shots on the back nine that require you to throw hard. all in all the course is pretty well laid out given the space.

Cons:

Very repetitive holes. almost all of them are a hook to the left shot or some variation there of. If you are able to Hyzer or Anhyzer your disc then this course will not be a challenge. I had two of my mid-range shots on the baskets deflected off by the chains. may have been the throw I understand, but they are pretty well weighted chains so judge for yourself.

Other Thoughts:

We also went on a day where there was a very strong wind, I liked that so as to be able to work on my technical game. So I would be eager to go and try this one again on a less gusty day. All in all, I will play this again as it is the nicest one within an hour drive of where I live.

Nostalgia 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 26, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I grew up in LeMars a long time ago and used to play soccer at this park back in the day. Circumstances brought me back for a few days so I decided to check out this park. The pros of the course are that it's very beginner friendly. There are very few holes that give challenge to those playing. There are a ton of ace runs, almost every hole. They made use of the space and seeing the river run around the outside of the course is nice. There is a trail going through the course, but I didn't see many people using it. The course is well kept and it's almost impossible to lose a disc while playing. The signage was on point. The cement tee pads are nice as well.

Cons:

Having said all of that, the fact is this course is hard to keep intermediate or advanced players entertained. I found myself day dreaming after 8 holes. A lot of the holes are the same shot. I played only with a mid range and a putter. Trees should have been planted, or bushes, to make variant shots. There was a lack of garbage cans and benches, but you don't need them unless it's a busy day at the park. I was confused at a couple of points on which basket to throw to, especially after #8. You also have to beware of throwing errant shots into someone's back yard.

Other Thoughts:

Although the nostalgia factor for me brought me here, it's not a course I would go out of my way to play. Judging by the map of courses around, there aren't many options, which kind of sucks if you are living there. I rated it as average.
