Pros:
Silver Lake DGC is a cute 9 hole park like course just off the lake in Northwest Iowa. Park was impeccably maintained with beautiful manicured grass and no debris on the ground.
The course is located in a municipal park with a swimming pool, tennis and volleyball courts. Course is in it's own area of the park, the only time there might be an issue is the tee shot on hole 2 if the volleyball court is occupied.
Teepads were concrete, baskets were fine DGA something.
Great beginner course as there is no chance of losing a disc except for near hole 6 green where there is some rough and a little creek, although that's a stretch. Flat course and an easy walk.
Also fun for this guy, nothing wrong with a park style 9'er with some minimal shot shaping to add to a roadtripping day.
Cons:
The only thing I would say is navigating from hole 5 to 6 is not obvious as there is not a course map posted. Have to cross the park entrance road and head towards the main road to find hole 6's tee on the other side of the building. Holes 6-9 play on this side of the road.
Other Thoughts:
I saw a family of 9 or so walk over from the campground whooping it up as I passed by them on 5 as they were playing hole 1 (the holes run parallel).
The nice looking lake and campground are right there. I didn't check out the campground as it was packed being Memorial Day weekend, but just might if I come back to the area to play Okoboji again (and Lutheran Lakeside which I didn't get to play as there was a tourney going on but looked neat from the parking lot).
