Bad Pickard Park in Indianola, Iowa, presents a lively mixed-style layout that puts a premium on water hazards and risk-reward choices over raw distance. The 7,000-foot course features a generous mix of par-3 and par-4 holes, with water features—ranging from shallow ponds to winding creek lines—checking play on at least a dozen of the 18 holes, creating a demanding environment where a single mistake can double or triple your score. Despite the water, the terrain remains largely flat, so elevation is never a factor, allowing you to focus on shot placement and reading the wind rather than navigating slopes. Designer Juliana Korver (est. 2005) has crafted a thoughtful, player-friendly sequence that rewards smart decision-making and strategic route selection. The venue has hosted competitive events, including the Discmania Challenge, with recent winners Ezra Aderhold (MPO) and Cadence Burge (FPO), showing its status as a notable stop in the Iowa disc golf circuit.
