Edmundson Park

This is my home course and I've spent literally hundreds of hours working on this course over the years. As of late, hard times have fallen on this once great place. Since the streets department took over for the park superintendent, not much is done as far as grooming this park. In my eyes, it appears this course is dieing a very slow death. Numerous trees have been removed, baskets are being mildly vandalized and technology is making this course obsolete. What used to be tough holes are now no more then pitch and putt. It is truly sad. The city manager has the final say in what happens with the course and because of a few players complaining about the long layout, the course never gets to move. This course is in desperate need of a redesign and a well organized club to take the reigns and do the improvements needed. Two marque events are held every year but with the direction things are headed, that could come to an end soon. Still worth stopping if you have never played it and for the fact that it is one of the 10 oldest courses in Iowa.
