Pros:
-Concrete Tees
-Baskets OK
-Decent tee signage (w/bag holders behind each)
-Easy to follow layout
-Generous Pars
Cons:
-Mostly straightforward, open shots, few trees
-Almost no elevation (just a little on #6)
-Basket #2 was missing when I played last
-Walking path in play on #3, #4, #5, #6, #7 and #8
Other Thoughts:
Wiese Park is in the NE part of Perry, IA. The park includes the McCreary Recreation Center on the west end. The course wraps around this building for 1-4 then elongates to the east for 5-9. A multi-use park, the course stays away from most of the other activities except for the walking path, in play on several holes. The tees used to be off this path, but concrete tees have been added and the course tweaked from three tees to just one. Most of this was off the "blue" distances. New pads and signage are nice, there are even bag hooks on the back of each tee sign. The course suffers a little from the area. Flat with only some trees. Most of these shots are open and straight. #7 and #9 do open up a bit for distance, so you can boom one out there. For the intended audience (rec players in a small town), it is fine. There is just no pizzazz here. A course I would be happy to have in my backyard, but not one worth an out of the way trip. I might play again, if in the area.
