Front nine review: Nice course for showboats that display placement skills in an open field around strategically located baskets with OB, the river, foliage, a few trees and the wind factor. Perfect practice for perfecting your game at a non technical course. Park in the back of the lot and follow the orange posts to allow for easy navigation.The upcoming tournament to improve signage will improve this course.

Really really close to being a great course. Front nine is open and somewhat long on a few holes. Other holes are pretty risky shots at times right next to the river. Back nine seems pretty unfinished. The course in general needs way better signage. Overall It was a cool course to check out, and I didn’t feel like any holes were unfair. Add some signage, and maybe move a few baskets to make a variety of left, right, and straight shots, and I think this would be a great course!

This being my local course, I've got a soft spot for it. The front nine is very open and a couple holes really give you a chance to let it rip. Approximately 4 of the holes on the front nine are right on the river and if you don't play your shot right, you could end up losing a disc to the water. Not impossible to wade into, but it gets a little deep in some spots.
The back nine is a little more varied in the holes. 10 had a large power pole that you need to navigate around as well as p ...

Showboat seems to have some old rep I’ve heard of for being awful. My first impression was purely the opposite. I love Showboat Park. The layout gives a player plenty of chances to score with well played shots of all distances. A badly played shot might get you wet. If you are lacking the ability to read wind or simple haven’t any finesse in your game this lil cute park will eat you alive and maybe take part of your bag hostage. As you may have already read their are a lot of tee shots, up s ...

I really enjoyed playing this course for the first time this past Tuesday. A lot of the holes are easily reachable but the added pressure of the water next to each hole definitely makes them difficult to attack. My biggest complaint is the lack of signage. If you are not a local it would be quite the search to find the tee for #10. Some of the holes in the woods on the back nine could be cleaned up a bit but other than that it was a solid course! Might be some of the best tee pads I've seen...especially with the mulch surrounding them.

This park has been redesigned and is much improved over the solid F rating it was before. It is currently very well maintained and groomed. Nice wood chips around the pads that match them around all the new trees. The river comes into play on several holes. Mostly open holes with OB and about 4 short wooded holes. Lots of OB for well placed shots. Some elevation changes. This is now a decent course and worth the play. They put in a new hole 9 which gets you a little towards hole 1 ...

Great first impression of this course. Played really casual to get the feel, I was able to get one birdie with a bit of luck. The layout is nice as I parked at the boat launch and picked up an extra water from my car during the walk from hole 8 to hole 9. Easy to play it safe and keep out of the rough spots/hazards, but skill shots would pay off for birdies/aces on most holes. Really didn't care for hole 14 sharing the bike jumps. It felt like someone could come flying through at any time and hit me, but luckily there were no bikers.

Going to be a very nice course and well thought out for the space given. Very neat holes and nice to air out on the front 9. 11 through 15 need work just a simple weedwacker and some clippers with a couple dudes would solve most all the problem. Just very bushy and overgrown people are going to be getting poison ivy and such on those select Holes. Otherwise very neat course love hole 10!!

Surprised by this gorgeous course. The wind was a bit wild throwing next to the water. Nice tee pads, mulch around the pads and decent baskets. Would reccomend if you're thinking about playing it.

This course is very different from almost anything else I've played. The front nine is very wide open, testing your accuracy with a hyper, with a couple flat out crushes. Then, after the hike down the road, the back 9 opens up to some more technical, wooded shots. With a handful being grab your straightest putter and just try to throw it as straight as you can. Some of the holes need some teepads as some of them are dirty or just mulch, but once that is remedied this could really become a standout course with some TLC.

I love this course. What a great use of the walkway and river for so many holes. There’s a couple signature holes on both the front and back nine. Nice and open park on the front 9 and a few tight wooded holes on the back. Overall, great variety

As my local course I've played showboat many times. One thing is for certain the winds are wild. The course never plays the same. One day you're throwing a mid next day or even minutes later you're throwing a driver. With Hazard paths and the river nearby not even a circle 1 putt is safe from a penalty stroke. Hole 14 is my favorite if you don't hit the fairway it's almost a sure bogey. Even the top players in the area have a hard time getting a circle 2 look at the illusive birdie. Hole 9 l ...
