This is a well maintained city park. The tee signs were excellent. Baskets were in great shape as well. As previously stated the front 9 would be a great place to learn the game. Very open for the most part. Chance of losing a disc on the front 9 is low, unless you put one in a tree or the dog park.
I really like the elevated, by Kansas standards, tee box and short shot on #14. Also #15 was a cool hole as well. You have a little stream that feeds into the pond to navigate across and trees guarding the basket. This made for a great hole in my opinion. I really like #16 because you have a tunnel shot, road out of bounds to your right, and a row of trees to the left plus the pond to contend with on this hole. Basket dog legs left from the tee box. #17 shoot it low under the trees or go out and around to the right and you should be fine.

Short tee pads!!! If you are going to spend the money to put in a course why not scrape up the extra gravy and make the tee pads longer. Back 9 could get crowded with other park users, especially 13-15.
Why does #9 and #11 have to share a tee box? If Great Bend can spend the money to put in a dog park, and I have nothing against this mind you, why can't they pour another tee pad for #11? Just saying!!

The back nine, especially holes 10, 14-18 have a risk reward to them. On #14 if you throw too hard you could end up in the water, on this short hole. All the water is to your left so be aware of this. Strong north winds could cause you grief on this course. With a little tree planting and better placement of the baskets on the front nine this course would get a 3.5 from me. What the front 9 lacks in imagination the back 9 makes up for in risk/reward and fun factor. Good mix of shots will be needed on this course. This is a good course if you are in the area or are on a road trip and want to stop and play a round. I would not classify this as a must play, but it is a good course non the less.

Very beautiful park. Good mixture of long and short holes. Very challenging. Well maintained, and bathrooms near by. Great tee signs, and very easy to follow. New baskets 2005. Park just replaced the missing tee signs they're all here.

Tee pads are small, christmas decorations become obstacles in the month of december. Teepad for hole eleven has been moved, and now shares the pad to hole nine. This move was made due to a new dog park wich can be an obstacle on holes eight and eleven.

Front nine great for beginners while back nine accuracy comes into play if you don't want to lose a disc. Come play it I'm sure you've played worse.

Newer course is in good condition and has nice scenery
A fun and challenging back nine
Course provides a challenge but is also fair for a beginner like me just learning the game
Signs with clear indicators of where the hole is and where the next one is

The concrete tee boxes aren't long enough and a couple of them, notably hole 10 and 12 are on a bit of a sidehill lie which makes them uneven
The 445 yard par 3 is asking a lot of a beginner
It's easy to lose discs along the water holes, I guess that's just a beginners complaint though

I just picked up disc golf about 2 months ago and have played this course a ton. I enjoy it because it is a quick round and a good way to get experience in the game without being too simple.
How about hole 15, where you do have to cross that creek? Can expert players even tee off through the narrow opening in the trees to set up a birdie chance?

Very clean and well maintained park. Huge map of the whole course at Hole #1. Well detailed signs at each hole including map, distance, par, and next hole arrow. The course is designed around a lake which makes it challenging for beginners. Holes distances vary from 148 feet to 595 feet.

Some trees but not a huge number in play. The front 9 is pretty simple with not a lot of obstacles in the way. You play around a lot of water but rarely play over water. If you have halfway good accuracy you shouldn't lose a disc. Pretty flat as well.

Overall, a pretty fun course in an absolutely beautiful park. Not the most challenging course in the area, but maybe the most groomed. Definitely worth playing once or twice.
