Other Thoughts:

If you know me, you know this is my favorite kind of courses to play.

Old city park with a pitch and putt course in it.

This one did not disappoint.

You start of with a little shot with sort of a tight line to hit.

Hole 2 is next to an old water crossing with some interesting stone work. Not sure how old it is, but it looks very old.

Hole 3 throws back towards hole 1's tee, but it does throw THROUGH a swing set.

After this, the next few holes are just you classic park style holes. Slight elevation used, creek used.

I really liked hole 7, is a reachable turnover to a basket you can't see. Turn it over too much and you are in the creek.

Hole 8 would be the signature hole, not because of the fairway, you throw over a creek with an old single lane bridge, around a livestock building to a basket in a nice green area with a round barn behind the basket. (see pictures) This barn was built in 1916 and is part of the county fair grounds. In fact, there are electric hookups on a couple of the holes so you probably would not be able to play this course when an event is going on.

Walk around the barn to tee 9 throwing off a slight hill down to the basket with a creek to your left. Then it is a slightly long walk back to hole 1. The "other" app shows the practice basket as hole #9, I guess you could play that as a hole 10 or skip 9's basket for better course flow.

Would I play here again? For a quick round if I was driving though, yep, I would consider stopping here again. I would not recommend driving out of the way, but it is a decent small town 9 hole course.

(side note, Apparently downtown's circle town square was on Ripley's Believe it or Not and is the only round town square in Kansas)
