Other Thoughts:
Just to be clear, this is Hornet Hills DGC in Wilson Memorial Playground. The Park was originally built in 1937. Because of this, several holes do throw near old stone picnic tables and benches.
But it's right on the Emporia State Campus. It's perfect for students.
Parking can be an issue during the day, however the parking lot does open up in the evening. During the day, you pretty much have to pay to park.
This is a nice little pitch and putt course, I believe I threw my upshot classic Roc's on almost every hole.
It starts off with a long hole, 204ft shot with a couple of tree's to navigate.
Hole 2 is slightly downhill with a large OB area behind the basket and could be played as an island hole.
Hole 3 starts to get interesting with a drop off to the right and behind the basket.
Hole 4 is really tricky, Best bet is to hit the wall in front of the basket, get over the wall and you may be far down the drop off behind the basket.
Hole 5 gets into the wooded area on the side of the hill. Tight shot.
Hole 6 is a tight turnover along the edge of the woods.
Hole 7 is another hole you do not want to throw past. Ace runs could be 100ft past the basket down the hill
Hole 8 and 9 are basic park setting holes that are not too difficust.
In all, I really enjoyed my round here. Lots of shade and very pretty park. I also happen to LOVE old parks and love it when courses are put in them.
Would I play here again? Yea I would. But it's by no means a destination course. It's a course I would play for the fun of it if I was in the area. In other words, it worth a stop in my opinion.
