18 baskets around the grounds of an affluent middle school. Plans in place to get tee signs and concrete tees, but the course is operable as-is. It keeps to itself around the school grounds, not impinging on the road or sidewalk besides currently teeing from the sidewalk on 2, and using it on the walk from 16 to 17.

Temporary signs are in the ground (political yard-sign type) with a rough map and distance. White MachV baskets on every hole are a nice upgrade from the standard school basket choices, and the next tee arrows on the bottom of each basket are a nice touch.

A school course with island holes? Yes. Hole 6 is a 175-ish foot putter upshot with a pretty small island to park, while hole 18 is a large island with some very steep slopes to land on. A few other unique holes, 2 has a double mando to keep you away from the road and hole 4's tee before following the land to the left downhill to a guarded green, 8 has a very tricky tree in the middle of its fairway, and 11 and 17 force sharp finishes after hitting a line through the woods.

Speaking of woods, this course has them. 10 starts off the show with a gap to enter the woods followed by a right finish, 11 and 17 I already mentioned, and the standout is 14: a 330ft shot with trees creating a low ceiling to hit about halfway down the tunnel, then another right finish around the final trees. It's the most well-designed hole on the property.

The left-finishing holes in the woods are unfortunate. 12's basket is way down a hill in some thick woods; 13 is less deep into the woods, but a right-to-left flex line or a sky hyzer over the fence are the only options, hopefully this one changes with a concrete tee, and 16 requires a near-perfect line with an extremely gentle finish. I wouldn't harp on these holes so hard except that the rough on all of them is incredibly nasty and thorny. With such thin fairways you're quite the player to not end up in it at least once on the stretch of 10-16, and retrieving your disc is likely to be a bit painful. An unfortunate downside.

A few bland holes. Hole 1 is an open downhill shot with easy-to-avoid OB, 4 has nothing to it after beating the one tree off the tee, 7 has two simple trees, and 17 is a bit easy compared to the rest of the wooded holes.

The parking lot comes into play four times; on 4, 5, 6, and 18. They do tell you to stay away until school is over, but residual staff may still be around after the 4pm start time.

Overall, this is a fine course with not a ton going for or against it, and earns a middle of the road rating from me. It's a well done school course, but I don't think my rating will go up with concrete tees/signs, however I will go and re-evaluate when they get done. This is a fine little addition to a round at Prairie Center or Birdland, but not one I would go out of the way to be sure and stop at while passing through.
