Williams Park wraps around the local YMCA on the east side of Algona, IA. A reasonable course begins right across the parking lot from the front door and runs mostly counter clockwise around the building. Signage looks like DGA Peel N Stick (TM), but is a slight upgrade as a full printed sign. The distance on the sign for #6 is way off (more like 235' instead of 159'). There is a little bit of elevation and a few trees to work around. The biggest detractor here is safety. With a busy park, there are parking lots (#1, #2 and #9) and walking paths (pretty much all holes) in play. The shelter is mostly out of play with the exception of #7 and the YMCA building itself is not in play. There is a DGA "Putting Game" (pictured) near the #7 basket. I did not play, but would be a place to hone you putting skills, I guess. the extra basket seemed a bit odd after #7, but it was where there was space. There was not much space near the #1 tee or the #9 basket with these both being close to the road. It could be used as a warm up to Ambrose A Call at the SW corner of town. Add some concrete tees, I guess to improve, but not much can be done with the space it is in. OK to bag, just OK to play while avoiding the hazards. If I needed a quick 9 and was in the area, I would play it again.

This course is well kept with short grass and amenities (the-Y) in the center of the course.

If you are in the area it is a great course with variety of different shots and the great thing is there are signs at each hole showing where to throw and a few out of bounds signs.

There are a couple distance shots (300-400ft) (~hole 7 & 8) that have some obstacles and can be some great practice.

There are also a couple straight fairway shots 1 and 9 so you do feel somewhat accomplished when you start and end.

-The parking lot is close to some of the holes.

-There is a running path through the park that can be in play on a couple of the holes (~holes 5-8). We did have to wait to let a couple runners through.

-The baskets are a little rough, but do work.

- Kinda confusing...There is a group shot (or practice) basket for tournaments between ~holes 7 & 8 in the course that seems to be placed near the pavilion and is in the middle of the course.

-Would play this course before or after the Call Park Course. I feel they both give Algona a little disc golf variety when played in sequence.
