- Good baskets
- clean park
- pretty in a flat, prairie kind of way
- option for playing two extra holes without going out of your way

- very little in the way of terrain, main holes only require throwing over/near drainage creeks
- mostly wide open, some trees
- back nine has hole playing side-by-side
- hole three has construction debris acting as disc traps and physical hazards
- extremely minimal signage, if you haven't played it before take a guide or a map
- no tee pads

Be careful of the walking path in play on several holes. It's not a heavily played course, so you won't have to worry about throwing at other disc golfers too much. It is well-mowed and clean, but aside from 3 holes requiring more or less precision, the rest of the course is pretty much wide open.

Great baskets.
Portable toilet.

14 of the 18 holes are basically field practice. Open, straight shots that are unobstructed. Some are longer than others.

2 of the 18 holes have a tight gap you need to hit. If you don't, you are punished by some nasty brush.

1 hole is actually a pretty cool hill climber from bottom of levee to the top.

1 hole is a simple hyzer shot.

This pretty much explains the whole course. I got very bored with the course and finished it simply to mark it off my list.

This course is remarkable in the boredom factor. It does, however, give you a target to practice field throws. I would only play it regularly if I lived within 10 minutes of it.

I'm guessing the bareness of the back 9 has something to do with the lake dam being fairly new? There are a lot of waist high trees planted that in 15 years will make it way more interesting, but until then...

Despite recent rains, the course was still well mowed. There are several trees that appear to have been planted when the course was installed. I spoke to the guy who maintains the course before my round, and despite not being a disc golfer himself, he seemed genuinely interested in doing whatever he could to make the course better. He discussed adding trees on some of the open holes (hopefully on the back 9 especially) and asked for input on placement. Course maintenance 10/10

It would be difficult to lose discs on most of the holes. Hole 10 is over water but it's a really short carry. There is a creek on a couple of holes on the back 9, and also a pond on the third from last hole. 8/10

There is a pretty good variety of distances on this course. There are a few holes that are 400+ and also a few holes around 225-275 ft. 8/10

Once you're on the tee, it's pretty easy to tell which hole you are throwing at most of the time. There are a couple blind shots and also a couple of holes on the back nine where multiple baskets can be seen from the tee. Installation of tee signs would be nice to help this. 8/10

The baskets are brand new DISCatchers. Tees are grass and flat for the most part. So far the tees are not eroded but this may be a problem in the future. 7/10

Finding the next tee is mostly intuitive, but there are a couple of trouble spots. One complication is that the tees seem to be numbered incorrectly. After playing 9 holes, the next hole is numbered 9, the hole after 10 and so on. Also the hole marked as number 15 seems to have two baskets, and I couldn't tell if it was just to give the player options or what. Also, there seem to be two tees playing to the final basket, one numbered 18 and the other numbered 19. Really it appears to me that it should just be 18 short and 18 long. 6/10 on navigation

No alternate tee or hole positions (except for possibly what was mentioned above?) Also the hole marked 13 looks like the tee might be moving to another area to incorporate some trees. 0/10

There are only a couple of holes (6 and the holes marked 11 and 16) where the player has decisions to make about what kind of shot to play. A lot of this is because of how open many of the holes are, but even most of the more treed holes only have one option. There are pretty much no obstacles in the middle of holes, most are just trees down the right or left side (or both like holes 2 and 6). 1/10 on decisionmaking

The most frustrating thing about this course is the use (or lack thereof) of obstacles on the course. There appears to be some land that would be awesome for disc golf (I'm mostly thinking behind and to the right of hole 7) that is not used at all. There are also a couple of patches of trees that are under-utilized on the back nine. The incorporation of these obstacles could really help break up the monotony on the back nine. Use of obstacles 2/10

There are way too many holes that are completely open (1, 3, 9, and the holes marked 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19). Holes 4, 5, and 8 are also completely open on one side with a forested area lining the other side. There are a couple holes with what appears to be recently planted trees, but they are at most a foot tall and don't affect play at all yet. Variety of openness 2/10

The course is pretty flat. The hole marked 11 is way downhill, and the hole marked 17 is way uphill. 9 and the one marked 18 are barely downhill, the second hole marked 9 is slightly uphill. 2 Is a slight valley as you throw over a creek. The hole marked 19 you throw over the crest of a hill. The rest are completely flat, and with how many of them are completely open it makes the lack of elevation more problematic. 2/10

Holes 6, 8, and the one marked 12 force you to throw from right to left. The hole marked 11 favors a left to right shot but doesn't require it. All of the other holes are just straight ahead and let you get there in any way. Variety of shot paths 2/10

The lack of obstacles makes this an okay course for beginners trying to learn how to throw or intermediate players who want practice throwing distance drives. However, other than distance there is very little challenge that this course offers for advanced or intermediate players, especially on the back nine. 3/10 on challenging all levels

Overall Challenge: 3/10

There are some cool shots on this course. Holes 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 are solid holes. If the tee on 13 is moved, like it looks like it could be soon, it will be too. These holes just simply aren't enough to pull the other holes up.

I drove out to play this course and then hit the new course at recreation park in Raymore. Based on the reviews, I was very disappointed with this course, and Raymore surpassed my expectations. If you are looking to play two rounds SE of KC I would highly recommend skipping this course and playing Recreation Park and Lake Shore

Based on my discussion with the course designer, I think this course could improve in the future as new trees are planted and grow.
