Pros:
-Baskets catch OK (see cons)
-Makes good use of most of park area
-Mostly stays away from other activities (see cons)
-2 Baskets each at #4 and #5
-Decent map (Helpful with minor navigation issues)
Cons:
-Someone powder coated the baskets BROWN! (in other words tougher to see than the steel) (See Basket #1 pic)
-Shelter could be in play on #6
-Playground definitely in play on #8
-Tee signs (DGA "Peel n Stick" [TM]) fading badly
-Natural tees
-Long basket on #5 could look like #1 or #3 basket
-Finding tee #2 was a minor issue
Other Thoughts:
McComb Park in home to a rather typical park style 9 hole DGC in Shenandoah, IA. 9 natural tees with the DGA signs play to 11 baskets. While the map shows alternates for all 9 holes, there are baskets in both positions on #4 and #5. The signage is fading badly on many of these signs. I don't know who had the bright idea to make the baskets even tougher to see by making them brown, but here we are (See Basket #1 pic). There are a couple of hazards to work around as well. #6, the long hole at 410', shoots toward one of the two shelters. A booming, yet grip locked RHBH could head that direction. #8 is the most problematic as it shoots right over the edge of a playground, a big issue for the RHFH thrower here. The baskets, the signage, and the hazards keep down the rating down for me. Upgrade the signs, baskets and add concrete pads and you're looking at a decent course. I would still play again, if in the area, just need my new glasses to see those baskets....
