Wetherby Park DGC is a very beginner friendly niner on the southside of Iowa City. The course is located in a pretty little park with fantastic upkeep. The course is totally flat and mostly open, but they do involve the few trees on the property when possible, most notably on the latter part.

The baskets are new Mach II's with the number plates on the top. These are all in great shape and catch as well as Mach II's do. There's apparnetly two pin positions per hole as well. I didn't scout any of the alternates out but that's pretty rare for a nine hole course anywhere from my experience. Can't ask for much more than that.

Concrete tees on each hole. On the smaller side, but all were level, grippy and much better than natural tees. One tee per hole. Again, above average.

There's no tee signs. Instead there's stone blocks imbedded into the ground next to the back end of the tee pads. These are engraved with the hole number and the distances to both of the possible basket placements. Simple but effective. The baskets are visible from every tee anyway so a hole map isn't needed.

The course starts south of the parking lot and just east of the basketball courts playing to the basket you'll see southeast of the first tee. The course plays clockwise essentially from there on out. Great flow. You won't get lost out here.

There's a cool garden kind of area that borders the left side of hole 9. Not great to land in obviously, but very scenic and worth a quick stroll through on your way back to the car. This also can come into play if you overshoot the pin on hole 6.

The course is permanent and free to play. Most likely not too busy with many other disc golfers on most days either.

A little repetive feeling to start out. Holes 3,4 and 5 are just wide open holes with nothing in the way. Hole 6 has the garden area behind the basket as mentioned above. Hole 7 is back to wide openness.

The walking path that wraps around the park can come into play in a few spots if you're not careful. It should be easily avoidable if the wind is down. If it's not though, it's very much in play.

Basically just a collection of shorter straight shots here. There's not much they could've really done better here. But it's just not a very exciting layout due to the limits of the property.

Pretty well done niner, albeit not the most exciting thing you'll ever see. The equipment is all above average for a short course like this but the lack of any real standout holes just keeps this one at a 2 for me.

If you're near here and want a quick round or to run some aces you can't beat this place. Great for beginners or newer players but rec and above players will yawn at this one.

The course is well maintained, and it's wide open off the tee. The baskets are also in very good shape. There are a handful of narrower tee shots near the end.

With it being wide open to the south, it's really susceptible to the wind. I threw into a gale when sneaking in a quick round while on the road, and nothing protected my disc once it left my hand.

Like many small courses, it lacks markers on the tee boxes. I was lucky to follow some locals, yet I still managed to throw at the wrong basket once.
