Other Thoughts:
Waubonsie Trails Park hosts a decent DGC along the north end of Cantril, IA. Cantril is a town of just over 200 where, I guess, the big attraction is the Dutchman's Store (I did not partake). Access to the course is off a small driveway off the state highway and NOT from in town where the campground is located (they share the park, but the DGC is on the east end). I agree with past reviewers in that the first hole doesn't fit the rest of the course. It is an elevated tee throwing at a slight angle over the levee that makes the pond. Pond is to the right, a steep fall off into trees is on the left. It is also, by far, the longest hole at 420'. The rest of the course winds through the park with several ace opportunities. The transition from #4 basket to #4 tee is a bit strange as the #3 and #4 tees are right next to each other. #6 and #7 fairways do cross, but in this remote area, you probably won't find any others to contend with. #9 is a picturesque shot with a small covered bridge in play. The mechanics here are good, good signage, decent baskets. There are even matching tee markers and basket tops (See pic for Hole #1). #1 was a little harrowing and I took it easy to stay on the levee. The rest was a lovely, if not short, course. Nice little bag. I would play again, if in the area.
