Clarinda Lied Center DGC plays around the grounds of the Lied Center in Clarinda, IA. A multipurpose park surrounding the center, there are baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, sand volleyball, horseshoe pits, 2 playgrounds, a large swing set, a new walking path, and a couple of shelters all in the park area. The DGC works its was around most of that. #1 throws around the volleyball and horseshoe, #3 throws toward the restroom and playground and over a sidewalk, #4 is back over the sidewalk, #5 has sidewalk and parking behind it. There is a bit of a walk to #6, but it throws around another playground area, #7 around the large swing, #8 has the sidewalk behind it, #9 throws to a basket near the street. Mostly short throws, but a good course to learn control for the novice, which is needed of there is much going on with the other park activities. Longest hole is #9 at 345', the rest under 300'. Pars are very generous as my 10 under scored an 861. Will give a confidence boost to the novice, a few ace runs for the more seasoned. What is here is nice. I played on a quiet Friday late afternoon, there were few others in the park. I can see higher traffic being a problem. #9 shooting toward the street could land some discs out there (right on Old Hwy 2). Maybe shorten that hole and move it in a little, add some concrete pads and this one bumps a little. A good starter course, with a few hazards. I enjoyed my round. Not in the area much, but would throw a quick round here again.

+ Nice park - well maintained
+ Parking, Restrooms, Water fountain
+ Varied hole lengths (140 to 345 feet)

- Busy Park and throwing over other activities

Pretty typical park course. Some of the nearby playground equipment and horse shoe pits are in the way. As long as other park users are not there this is a decent course to get out and play around.

Great for beginners. Plenty of parking and amenities (You can go to the inground pool in midst of the course if you like!). Nearby food/restrooms available. All holes are on a level plane; so this course is imminently wheelchair accesible.

One hole you have to throw around/over horseshoe pits; and another over a playground area; so if there are any people in those areas you'll have to be really careful.

Of the 9 holes, 8 are aceable; so that, in itself, is worth playing there.
