Beautiful trees. Elevation changes. Nice park. I loved the different holes uphill, downhill. blind shots. Nicely mowed with some rough that is not too rough.

Whoever laid the course out needed to understand that maybe hole 1 should be by the parking area and the last hole end there as well.

If they had a map available would be nice.

1. Concrete pads, nice baskets, benches on most tee pads, trash can at most tee pads, good tee signs
2. Park has port-a-john in center, good shelters with electric outlets, horse shoe pit, and small playground
3. One mile from course at Maytag Park in Newton
4. Forgiving play with no water and friendly vegetation. OBs are unlikely.
5. Basket to next tee is a very short walk and most tees clearly visible from prior basket
6. Elevation comes into play on most holes. Helps add challenge on windy days,
7. Jungle play is quite possible as this course does not get heavy play.
8. Well maintained park

1. Lacks a kiosk and course map (I need to work on finding one or making one(?) )
2. Pretty easy to follow and figure out
3. I can not see it expanding to a 'good 18' as area surrounding would be field holes.

I have played this course sporadically since it opened. Housekeeping has always been in order. Turf is solid and ok for wet rounds. The thought and work in improving this park is apparent with the addition of disc golf. Great course to take a newer player (or yourself) and do extra work along with your round.
!! Just one mile to Maytag Park in Newton and about ten to Lewis Club in Colfax

Mandatory Pros:
Nice tee pads.
Nice signs.
Port-a-John accessible from 2 points.
Its in a park, so its mowed.
Beautiful new Innova baskets with giant, yellow, glowing chastity belts.

Layout is good. Space was limited in this park and they still got 9+ nice holes in there. Nary a single hole directly interferes with the other features of the park. The layout also coaxes you to play a second round quick-a-minute as the last basket is located very close to tee number one and yet cleverly protected by a few thick conifers.
Great idea!
The designers did a good job of not cramming toooo much in too small a space while still getting the most for their money. Some golfers may feel the layout is cramped, but being that it doesn't really interfere with the park functions it shouldn't be too big of a factor.

Having a second disc golf option in Newton is so great and may lessen the burden on the great (and much played) Maytag Park.

Hole variety is impressive. The trees and elevation are used to great effect on almost every hole. The holes aren't necessarily long but they will force you to hit your lines.
There are uphill, downhill, over the valley and over the hill blind shots to be had.
Very fun.
Wooded fairways and low ceiling shots are the norm here.
If you like to look down the fairway from the tee pad and see just a little basket peeking out from behind some trees, this is the place for you.

So what's missing?

Not a lot to report here.

Parking seemed a little limited. This 12-holer is in a nice city park but if it was a busy day I'm not so sure you'd be able to find a spot that wasn't next to a sign reading: "No Parking Off Road".

Everything else really checks out pretty good.

I'm interested to see how some of the tee pads weather;
a few are built into hill sides and I can see erosion being a bit of a problem. Some landscaping might be in order to keep them from becoming hopelessly buried in mud. I'm sure the Newton Disc Golf club is on it, though.
They have come this far putting a lot of work in to create a great course on a nice plot.
I'm sure Woodland will continue to be an excellent example of what caliber of course can be realized, even if its only 12 holes, when you utilize a great piece of land.
You can call this a home-boy review if you want to, but there just isn't a lot to lower the rating from 4 discs.
Rating a 3.5 just seems too low for such a nice course.
All in all, a Solid Twelve.
