Pros:
The usual:
Concrete tee pads (obviously added since the 2014 reviews), big map on park sign, good signage at each tee box.
Use of what trees were there.....
Memorable holes:
#1 Basket tucked in on right side, with tree line on right and couple of mature trees in fairway.
#3 Slight right bend throw under a canopy of branches to a reachable basket.
4- 6 are just open holes across the field
#7 Long throw to basket tucked away with solid tree protection.
#8 Throw through the trees to a slight right bend basket.... makeable line through the trees.
so all in all .... 5 baskets with decent elements, 4 wide opens...
Cons:
Bit of crisscross on some of the fairways.... 5 tee is further out past 6 then 6 crosses back over 5 to get to 7 tee..... Not sure why they did that.
No distinct fairways..... #4 basket on the edge of what would be #1 fairway.
Other Thoughts:
This was course #202.... just came here because it was somewhat close to where I was after a daughter's volleyball tourney.
Would not be worth the drive from any of the closest cities... St Louis, Springfield, Quincy, etc....
However, if I lived within 10- 15 miles of it, would make it a semi regular go to niner.... Enough challenges: distance, right bend shots, tree protection to make it worthwhile...
as it was I was out there near dusk on a Saturday and there were two other groups (a twosome and foursome) playing through.....
