Nice Community Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 17, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

+ Well maintained course.
+ Cement tees with alternate tees for each hole.
+ "Clubhouse" shelter with bathrooms available near Holes 1 and 8.
+ Creek runs through middle of course, bringing water into play on Holes 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8.

Cons:

- Not a large amount of variety. Only holes with elevation changes are Holes 3, 4, and 5.
- Not many trees around - many shots are unobstructed.
- Wind can be bad as the area is on the edge of town and exposed to any west or north winds.

Other Thoughts:

This course is very well maintained! There is a map of the entire course at the "Clubhouse" shelter near Holes 1 and 8. While the course is only 12 holes long, each hole has alternate tee locations, leading to a lot of additional looks.

Holes 3, 4 and 5 are located across the street from the rest of the course. Holes 3 and 5 are MASSIVE - each around 600 ft and wrapping around a large hill, making a straight shot impossible.

Overall, it's a great community course for a town of 4500 people. While newer players will like a lot about this course, advanced players may not find it as challenging due to its lack of trees and elevation changes.

Pros:

Great Course for a MidSize "Good Ol" MidWest Town!...Course is 12 Holes Long but every Hole has an alternate Pad so it is actually a 24 Hole Course.....All alternate Pads are located in a Different & Unique position from the Original Pad.......Great "Bomber" Course for the Big Arms!....Nice Tee Pads, Nice Signs, Nice Course Maps.....& Very Well Kept Course......Great Design and Thought put into this One

Cons:

Wind!...Not necassily a Con of mine, But alot of people don't like playing in the Wind.....As you can see in the Pictures( There are Windmills in the Backround) This is for a reason Folks! This course is Always Windy!....So I say.... "Bring On the Wind"....But for the Review's Sake, I know Many Do not Particurarily like this Obstacle!

Other Thoughts:

Great "Unheard Of" course...If you are anywhere near it, it is certainly worth the Stop.....Great course for ALL Levels....Including Pros....The Wind always keeps this course Challenging (Especially if you play All OB Sidewalks as Out of Bounds).....The alternate Tee Pads on every hole keep this course refreshing.....I recommend playing all 24 as 1 round if you have the time.....The water is not a huge Obstacle (A Small Creek that runs all throught the course) but Can easily be very Troublesome on almost every Hole......You'll want to play your most Overstable Driver Here...I played this course when it was still a 9 Hole & the additional 3 Holes, that have been recently added, create a Hole New Course.....There is a 610 & 595 Foot Hole that are Both Par 3's (With Big Elevation Change).....This is Amazing!! Most courses are "Over" Parred but this one bears No Forgiveness!
