Despite being overshadowed by it's big brother, the short course at Blue Valley Park, also called Baby Blue, features a decent set of holes with a lot of elevation that will leave you a little tired despite being par 28. The course is easy to follow even without tee signs, and there's quite a bit of variety, with some cleverly placed tees and basket locations.

Despite being lightly wooded, the trees that the course does have cause low ceilings on half the holes, block left-to-right lines on three holes, and right-to-left lines on two holes. As a result, while this course isn't about shot shaping, you will need a few different shots if you want consistent birdie putts.

The elevation change really takes this place from a lousy course to a decent one. With precarious basket placements on three holes (and possibly on a few more, depending on how windy it is), your drives will need to be pretty accurate if you want stress-free putts. There are also a lot of downhill and uphill drives that will test your distance control.

While there is challenge and variety, the distance just isn't there on most holes to produce anything exciting. Holes 1 and 4 play downhill without much distance, it won't require much power to get far on holes 2, 5, or 7, and of the four remaining holes, one is (fairly easy) par 4 and the others are uphill. As a result, it often won't require that fast of a driver to reach the pin.

The lack of trees makes shot shaping virtually nonexistent, and a lot of times, you can take any flight path you want. Sure, the tees and baskets are well-placed and you may be throwing a hyzer, but you can swing that hyzer as wide as you want to the one side of the fairway

Hole 3 is rather gimmicky, having a low ceiling that's just too low and no legitimate line to the basket except a super powerful shot or a lucky roller. I would rather a hole play perpendicular, maybe towards hole 4's basket.

It's clear this course wasn't meant to have the epicness the championship course was, but it clearly doesn't try to make itself stand up tall. It doesn't play near the lake. The only woods on the course are behind the tees, not in or beside the fairways. As a result, the openness and overall lack of spicy holes become worse, and the decent scenery doesn't feel all that good.

Also, the baskets are garbage - not because they're in bad condition, but because they're Mach 3's.

This course is at the top of the hill that is Blue Valley Park, which means it's generally a little windier here than elsewhere. While it adds challenge where there wouldn't otherwise be much, but it means some holes like hole 4 become rather luck-dependent, when you're throwing the disc at the ground and hoping the wind won't play with it much.

A lot of the tee pads are shaped rather oddly, or are on the small side, but the course is shot enough it doesn't matter much.

At the end of the day, there's not much to say about this course. It's a decent warm-up for Big Blue (if you're okay with all the hills), but it shouldn't be one anyone is excited to come back to when there's the much better course literally across the street.

Nice playground available for those golfers with children. Centrally located to city core. Elevation changes add challenge. Much more playable than the big course there.

No signage. Very odd shaped tee pads. They are shaped in a way that they point to the basket I guess but they are still strange. Finding way from tee pad t tee pad is not intuitive. Finding tee pad for 9 was challenging the first time.

There is a lot of potential for the land here. The big course is way too long for the average player and the short course could be made more challenging. The course is in the middle of a blighted area. This is not a place I would feel safe at after dark.
