This is the toughest course in Kansas, outside of down under at Rosedale, that I have played hands down!.

There are many tunnel shots that are completely unforgiving if you throw into the trees. The layout encompasses a mixture of of hyzer and "lefty" shots and some decent variety in lines off the T-pads.

Holes 2 and 14 are ridiculous really but #2 can be a fairly easy birdie or par by throwing a short drive out of the tunnel to the right, then throwing a second drive under the basket from 300 ft (par 4).

Holes 5-10 are shorter and more technical and the most enjoyable section of the course (for me).

Hole 11 is a monster that requires a throw across a drainage culvert but It did not do much for me as I have heard how awesome it is by a lot of people .

You can park a Cadillac on the T Pads and there are new signs on every hole. There are alternate pin placements for just about every hole. The course was well maintained albeit some stacks of timber and deadwood did line some fairways. I did not see any poison ivy that people talk about either.

I give this course an A and if there was any type of elevation change it would get an A+. If you are looking for a challenge, make the drive to Salina and play this course!

Very technically challenging course. Lots of tunnel shots. Good variety of hyzer and anhyzer, but most holes were tree holes with variety coming in with tunnel versus narrow alley. Only one hole (14) has no clear fairway through the trees, but every hole will test your ability to keep your disc in the clear. Even when you do find the fairway, basket placement may eliminate any chance of a birdie run, unless you are skilled (or lucky) enough to find the correct side of the fairway. Difficulty ...

Difficulty may turn some people away. But, take the challenge and take the opportunity to test your accuracy, variety, and strength. Woods are well groomed, so you be able to find errant shots, even when you are unable to find a par.

Maintenance of the course is incredible! Grass is extremely well maintained, signs are precise, in great shape, and show both overhead and tee view of the hole. Overall, an excellent course to play. Glad i found it for a break on my roadtrip, but i will certainly be coming back specifically to play this course.
