Directions:
From Hwy 60; Cty Rd 3 Exit to Madelia heading west on Main St. to a left at Benzel Ave. to the park entrance on the right. Course at south end of park.
Pros:
- An effective use of trees and a small amount of land. Used pretty-much every tree they could to add interest and challenge.
- Good DISCatcher baskets
Cons:
- Tees are ridiculously close to the previous hole's baskets (within 8-10 feet), and are about 2'x2' concrete squares.
- Baskets are very close to other park uses, creating some potential issues (safety and play, in-general)
Other Thoughts: It was a holiday weekend, but campers/trucks were parked literally feet from the Hole 2 basket and Hole 3 tee...making the course unplayable in those locations. I'm told that having that many park users is a rarity! That said, that was a big disappointment to see, playing the course for the first time.
