Not the best state park course but still fun. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-First and foremost, a shout out to the Kids in Parks foundation, SD State Parks and our very own DSCJNKY for the great scorecards. They are on quality cardstock, have a detailed map, room to record two rounds for 5 people, and interesting nature facts on either birds or trees.
-Nice Innova Baskets
-Cement tees on a few. They used existing cement instead of pouring new cement.
-A few blind shots. 6 and 7 come to mind. 6 is through a small gap then a dogleg right and 7 is over or around a small building.
-A few ace runs. Especially the sub-100ft hole 8. Hole 9 is pretty short and open too.
-A few holes make you hit a certain line. Holes 1-2 and 6 especially. 1 and 2 have a few routes but you have to throw a big anny or keep it quite low (RHBH).
-You shouldn't lose a disc here. Be careful on 6 and you should be fine.
-You can stay and enjoy the campground and the beautiful Missouri River. The surrounding area is quite scenic and serene.

Cons:

-It is pay to play and I wouldn't call that a con on most courses and there is other things to do but this course was not as good as the other state parks course that I have played.
-No elevation at all.
-Good players won't find much of a challenge. The SD State Parks courses are definitely made more for families (except Big Sioux Rec Area)
-Not a ton of length
-You might have to be a little careful on a few holes for other park users. Cleaning stations, picnic areas and a playground are somewhat close.
-They could pour cement on the other tees on this course. Hole 4s tee area had a gopher hole right in the middle of it.

Other Thoughts:

This course was kind of fun but it is pay to play and in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't recommend driving all the way here just to play but if you want a weekend of peace, good fishing, camping and a little disc golf this would be a fun destination. Like many parks, I think they could have used other land and made it more interesting. Of course, that would make the course harder and take more work to complete the course.

Has some fun here but this is just an average course
