Reviewed: Played on:Dec 7, 2006 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great use of elevation in western Kansas.
Good mix of shots thrown most baskets are on the some kind of slope or have trouble near.
I love the "Par 5" it is a sick hole that has been eagled very few times.

Cons:

Not played very often.
Kids walk by after school and find the baskets appealing to climb and play on.

Other Thoughts:

I designed the course when I lived in DC and was teaching at the middle school. The city was very helpful in getting it in the ground and playable.

Alt. Tees to make it 18 holes.
Hole 1- Longer closer to the road. I always played it as a mando left of the
Hole 2- Shorter just past the Pine tree on the right.
Hole 3- Longer and closer to the fence.
Hole 4- Much shorter, tees from the top of the hill. For a right hander it is a short tight hyzer shot.
Hole 5- Is sick! The tee is next to the electrical box straight back up the hill from hole 4. This is the par 5.
Hole 6- Is almost straight down from 5's basket. Plays under the low hanging branches.
Hole 7- Exact same line, just longer.
Hole 8- What I think is the signature hole on the course. Same line as the tee sign, just longer.
Hole 9- Walk over to hole 6 alt, and go another 50 feet. It plays across the flat area and you get some great rolls if you hit the hill with to much angle.

Hope this helps.
