One of my favorite courses! SO MUCH VARIETY! I think I used 90% of the discs in my bag when I played this. Not something that happens much on most of these small town city park courses. I think it was on hole six I realized that this wasn't what I was expecting. It started out almost like a regular Kansas community park course with the creek factoring in, I crossed the stepping stones to tee 6(?) on the top of the creek bank and the course suddenly did a 180!

One of my favorite courses! SO MUCH VARIETY! I think I used 90% of the discs in my bag when I played this. Not something that happens much on most of these small town city park courses. I think it was on hole six I realized that this wasn't what I was expecting. It started out almost like a regular Kansas community park course with the creek factoring in, I crossed the stepping stones to tee 6(?) on the top of the creek bank and the course suddenly did a 180! Tunnel shots, careful shot placement and threading the needle on the next several holes. The wooded area of this course IS NOT beginner friendly at all. I can see that even some advanced players could have some struggle on a few holes in the sticks. Baskets are all Discatcher Pro and are in great condition.
Get some cement pads, open up the tree shots JUST A LITTLE, maybe a couple out-houses (fits the backwoods decor) and I would definitely give this course an A+, mainly for the fun factor. This has to be one of the funnest courses in the state of Kansas!

I consider this my home course so I'll try to be unbiased. The re-design(after the softball diamond showed up) took this already amazing course from a power thrower's dream to a more intermediate-advanced player friendly one. Red tees are still easy enough for beginners to enjoy while the white tees have been moved to give the more advanced players a challenge. A great balance of distance and accuracy. Elevation change is non-existent except for hole 3 and a little on hole 5 but it makes u ...

I consider this my home course so I'll try to be unbiased.
The re-design(after the softball diamond showed up) took this already amazing course from a power thrower's dream to a more intermediate-advanced player friendly one. Red tees are still easy enough for beginners to enjoy while the white tees have been moved to give the more advanced players a challenge. A great balance of distance and accuracy. Elevation change is non-existent except for hole 3 and a little on hole 5 but it makes up for it in distance.
Some of the unique holes on this course are Hole 3, The long 450-550 foot, open fairway meeting a 75 foot uphill tunnel shot. Shot placement in the tunnel entrance can save a stroke or two. Hole 4(WHITE) is across the pond. You can play it safe and cut the pond short, under the trees or you man-up and try to clear the pond and the tall trees at the water's edge, possibly saving a stroke. Risk vs Reward plays it big time on this hole. Hole 9 is completely new and is a 400-some footer through the cottonwoods with the basket tucked inside a circle of cedar trees. After you're finished with hole 9 you can jump right back in and start over at hole 1.
Some improvements could be installment of concrete or solid tee pads, more info on the tee signs, maybe a back nine someday? Some more trashcans along the course would be nice. Litter isn't a bad problem here, I try to do my part by picking up trash along the way. Hole 8 has and awkward fairway but I found that driving left of the tank can provide a low ceiling fairway. Don't drive one into the tank unless you want to instantly beat-in your disc.
Bring plenty of bugspray during the late spring-early fall months. The baskets are based off of the Innova Discatcher Pro, on hole 4 and honestly, you will not be able to tell the difference between the two. GREAT job on the baskets!!!! Upkeep on this park is some of the best I've seen. The grass is always mowed.
Most people that stop and play here on their way through town say that this is a "Diamond in the Rough" 9 hole course and I'm proud to claim this as my home course. Well worth a stop if you're around the area or passing by.

This is a nice course for beginner-intermediate players or for advanced players to work on the short game. A few holes are wide open 300 footers, while the rest are placed among the trees. The creek comes into play on a few holes. Surprisingly for a small course like this, it does have concrete tee pads that are flush with the ground level and are equipped with tee signs. Mach III baskets are all in great shape and this course is always kept in excellent condition. Hole 1 is open but it can ...

This is a nice course for beginner-intermediate players or for advanced players to work on the short game. A few holes are wide open 300 footers, while the rest are placed among the trees. The creek comes into play on a few holes. Surprisingly for a small course like this, it does have concrete tee pads that are flush with the ground level and are equipped with tee signs. Mach III baskets are all in great shape and this course is always kept in excellent condition.
Hole 1 is open but it can be easy to misjudge the elevation drop-off and the creek is right behind the basket.
Hole 2 another open shot with the road/4-H building/creek O.B. Road is right behind this basket.
Hole 3 uses the creek and a row of pine trees to keep things interesting. A local told me that some spots in the creek on this hole are fairly deep and if the water isn't a problem the tall grass and the stingweed can be, along the bank.
Hole 4 Open and the basket placed on top of the creek berm. Behind the basket and right of the bike/walk way will land you in some tall grass.
Hole 5 Throws from an open field back into the wooded part of the park.
Hole 6 is a short walk across the street, next to the creek. While not a long fairway, the tee pad and the basket are in line with a row of short, bushy trees. The slope from the alley drive and the creek can cause a disc to roll down to the creek. Not sure if the alley is O.B. but the playground to the right of that I'm sure is O.B.
Hole 7 is an open fairway but the tee pad is behind and to the right of a row of bushes, forcing an anhizer shot for RHBH players and Lefties can hang it out over the creek for a nice drive.
Hole 8 Short and technical. The tee pad is behind a row of trees with a small window for a direct throw/Hyzer-flip OR you can disc-up and throw a bomb hizer over the pines. Just be careful not to over drive into the brush/creek.
Hole 9 There are a couple lines available left or right of the bushes. Left exposes a drive to the creek and the right is fairly tight around the bushes and trees with that line of flight and the basket behind/under a tree.
Hole 9 meets back up with hole 1, next to the parking lot.
Some improvements could include a public bathroom and last few times I was there, they redone the street and tee pads for holes 2 and 6 were not poured yet. Maybe plant some more trees for those open shots to add some difficulty.
All in all, Championship traits on a beginner course. At first it looks like a chip-shot course but pin placements use all obstacles to the best of their ability. Whoever designed this course did a A+ job, using what they had to make a pretty decent course.
