This is a fantastic course if you are looking to get nine in.

Clean (thanks to the folks I have seen coming out with multiple bags of trash)

Easy to navigate, good signage.

Good elevation and shot lines...long, short, tight, bombers...everything in just nine holes!

Late spring to early fall...the rough is ROUGH.

Discs get lost.

Lots of thorny plants that tear you up. Poison Ivy also.

Pars on the signs seem a little generous, so we play everything as a par 3 except 6 and 8...for a par 29.

Hey...don't hit the rough

I love this course!

- Convenient location for golfers in the west des moines/urbandale area.

- Surprisingly long for a 9 hole course

- holes are creative and have a fine mix of ruffage/openness/trees.

- Great use of landscape and elevation, really adds character and challenge.

- Fairways are tight but well groomed.

- Ruff areas have quite a bit of heavy ground coverage and tall weeds. A wild disc may take a while to find.

- Right behind a police department but that is only on 2 holes, so not a problem for the majority of the course.

- a few of the hole's connecting paths through wooded areas are a bit overgrown and hard to find for the first timer.

I thoguht this course did a wonderful job on the 9 holes it has. They could have easily added a few holes on the land, but it seems like they really put thought into the course rather then overloading it with short holes. This is a course that will also test a great deal of your different techniques. A few downhill shots and a few killer uphill shots, not to mention tightly wooded fairways and one very small, but vicious water hazard. Took me and a friend just under an hour to get through it on our first time.

The first hole is breath taking view. hole 6 is long with a creek to cross in the middle. all around very fun course

Big park, wish they could have done 18 holes. Need to be able to throw straight or u could have a troubling day

This course is great for a 9 hole course. It has multiple tee pads on 8 out of the 9 holes. Has one hole that might be one of the toughest 150 ft. It is a fair hole to play, but I have seen scores vary from 2-5.

The course is right next to a middle school, so trash is definitely a problem. Vandalism is also a problem. Most of the players there are rec players and damage the signage a great deal. I don't know how many signs are left out there.

This is my home course, so I am a bit biased about it. I do believe though if you get past the trash and vandalism, that this is one of the best 9 hole courses in the US. And others have made the same comment.
