First off, the wind was absolutely ripping when I visited, which I would highly NOT recommend, so my rating is probably somewhat negatively skewed... Even though this is basically just nine baskets out in a giant field behind a massive church, the layout makes for a challenging round. Some holes are par 4, which seem fair and accurate. But the par 5 hole needs to be changed to a par 4. There are no tee-pads, no facilities, and no obstacles. So really the only “maintenance” that one can expect and hope for is mowing the grass, which they have done. Overall, I did not experience any glaring issues and I have no major complaints, but I also can’t come up with any real selling points for this course. I can’t see myself ever going back unless there was some very specific reason or event or something, which all seem unlikely.

Just a wide open field without a single bush or tree in it. There is plenty of trash from it being a shooting range though. I’d skip this one.

There is potential here. I notice effort has been put in out there. The holes are just far too overgrown and too skinny of fairways. A variety of short holes mixed in and angles updated using mando poles and elevated baskets may help.

@pseudoscapegoat

Why have 800 ft holes in a flat muddy prairie? The course could be fun if they used obstacles and kept it short and sweet

First and foremost thank you to the church for adding a course. They did a great job adding a variety of distances with high quality baskets and signs on the lot of land that they have. Positives: -Good signs -High quality baskets -Great putting range with marked distances. -Gravel path throughout the course. -Trimmed fairways. Opportunities: -No Obstacles (this can be easier than you think to add) -No tee pads. -No Trash cans.

So much fun. Played an ok game but the course tested me and as a some what new frolfer the course was perfect for me

@scudstyle

Open, bomber course. No tee boxes. A bit rough if you get off the mowed fairway, but not too bad. Easy to follow the course as the layout is very straightforward once you get going. Thanks for having this course ready!

@mrkane7

Lots of weeds that get stuck in your socks if you are not on the fairways
