DisCatchers

Practice basket.

Elevation is used incredibly well, and several holes use it in ways I've never seen done before (plateau green on 11, 12 plays down the top of a 350' hill with a fairway about 12' wide).

The course is out of the way of the rest of the park, but if you need a restroom they are nearby (near 3/4).

Easy to play just 1-9 or 10-18 if you want. Neither is better than the other.

Very few holes feel like "park golf." 6, 7, and 15 were the only ones that felt that way.

Elevated tees help out a lot on a 550' par 3... oh and the other holes, too.

Navigation is some of the best around. Either signs near the end of every hole point you to the next one, or it's painfully obvious where the next tee is.

Weirdly, it's a very open course while still feeling technical. On par 4s, your drive can land kinda anywhere, it's your second shot that counts.

Some of the baskets are damaged.

A few of the holes on the back nine get a little repetitive. Long flat drive, second shot, hopefully have a putt. 13, 14, 17, and 18 are the worst offenders.

Some of the new signs are a little misleading. Hole 10 shows the long pin being straight out when it is actually about 50' off to the right.

This is one of the best courses I've played just golf-wise. It's on the very low side of moderately wooded, with only 3 holes having major woods to deal with, but the use of elevation and hills is so unique and challenging that you'll enjoy many, many trips here. Even on the "boring" holes the trees are placed to be in the way, but a good shot will keep you safe. Could use a little more grass in areas to keep from getting muddy, but outside of that this is a near perfect course

This course is on land once used as a ball golf course. The City maintains the mowing extremely well. The course is challenging and flows well. The Innova Pro baskets catch great. There are many nice scenic views and a serene feel on this course.

There are no restrooms and parking near hole 1 for only about 25 cars.

I am somewhat biased as I am the designer and live 5 minutes away, but this is one of my favorite courses to play in the Kansas City area.

My favorite course of all time it offers so much shot selection that it is fun for everyone and anyone can play good on it weather you have a 500' drive or a great 300' hyzer flip
Great navigation has signs telling you where to go
Multiple baskets to shoot at every hole
Great unique tee pad setup
Little chance of loosing discs
Elevation changes
Long distance holes
Finnese shots

A couple of the tee signs were stolen
Lack of parking available

Geat challenging course

There is a huge variety of openness on this course, ranging from almost wide open to very technical in places. More of the open holes on the front in the 5-9 range with technical shots being holes 3, 4, 10, 11, and 18. 10/10

Most of the holes can be played in different ways, with different shot paths to the hole. Decisionmaking required 10/10

This course does a fantastic job of using the obstacles they have available to them to create a variety of challenges to the holes. The course feels a lot more wooded than it actually is because of how well placed the obstacles are. Some holes only have a few trees but they really impact shot selection. 10/10

A lot of effort has been put in for this course. Concrete tee pads and benches were added awhile ago. Unfortunately the benches are just large rocks, but it's better than nothing. They have cleared out most of the thorny branches from the rough. Ticks were initially a problem, but well mowed. Tee signs have been added and branches have been trimmed when necessary. There are still no bathrooms or running water. Course maintenance 9/10

Baskets are brand new discatchers and tee pads are concrete. These could probably be a little bigger, but they do the job. There is also pea-gravel surrounding them to help prevent erosion. 9/10

There is a nice variety of shot paths required. Holes 3, 6, 9, 11, and 13 require left to right while 4, 5, 13, and 18 require right to left. 9/10

Navigation between holes is intuitive and there are signs pointing to the next hole in some of the more confusing spots. The back nine is especially easy since there are trails through the tall grass to the next tee. A couple of tricky spots are after 4 you need to go backward and after 10 there are trails leading off in two different ways, take the one on the right. 9/10

There is some good elevation present in places. A few too many flat holes in my opinion but they did the best they could with what they were working with. Many holes with elevation changes are severe. 8/10

Navigation on the actual holes has improved a lot with the addition of tee signs. There are a few blind shots, and a couple shots where you can see two baskets from the tee. 8/10

There is decent variety in distance, but most of them are somewhere between intermediate and long. There aren't many holes that are birdieable unless you have a big arm. The alternate pins have helped with this a little. 7/10

There is some shade present on this course, fairways are regularly mowed, and the ticks and thorns have been minimized/eliminated. However, the benches are stone and the tall grass rough can be a nuisance. Some poison ivy in places. 7/10 on comfort

There are some pretty cool alternate pin positions that were added in. However, only 6 holes currently have alternate pin positions. There are several other holes where the tee signs show alternate pins but I've played this course regularly and have never seen them. Hopefully this is still coming. 4/10

There is plenty of length and enough obstacles to challenge advanced players. The front nine is not too difficult to discourage beginners (except maybe hitting the gap on hole 4). However, the length of the back nine could be pretty daunting for beginners. Alternate tees would help out a lot. 6/10 on challenging all levels

Discs can still be tough to find in the rough on the back nine, but it has been cleaned up quite a bit recently. Brush piles are no longer present in the tall grass In addition, there are some blind shots that make it so you can't see where your disc goes. 6/10

With the addition of tee signs, pads, this course is currently on the border between 4 and 4.5. It would be a solid 4.5 if all pin positions shown on tee signs were in. I'm hoping this will happen in the future.

In a few short years this course has transformed from playing and appearing pedestrian to one of the premier courses to play in Kansas and the Kansas City Metropolitan area. It is among the longer courses in the area and successfully uses some of the sparse treed areas and more heavily wooded areas, as well as using the rolling hills to add challenge.

- Length is one of the predominant challenges, especially on the back nine. Not so long that newer players are too beat up

- Aesthetic is one of the best in the area. The P&R has done a wonderful job putting a continuous mow on the area to make the fairways wide and fair and to beat back the thorns present in the early incarnations of the course

- Large rock benches on most of the holes

- Signs are very new, and descriptive, making the course easy to follow

- Flow is simple with hole 9 ending near where hole 1 begins. The only real walk between holes is marked clearly

- The course drains exceptionally well, making it one of the best courses to play after heavy rain

There aren't too many bad things, but among them are:

- Ticks. Common on most wooded courses, but they seem to be a little heavier out here. Make sure to check!

- Thorns in rough. This is much less of an issue than in the past, but there are a few spots they'll get ya.

- There are a few tweeners, depending on the skill of the player (Holes, 1, 7, 12, 14, and 16 come to mind). Bigger arms can have a field day on those holes, but others will expect a 3, nothing better or worse

Don't lean on the signs! The backers are smaller than the size of the sign and at least one has been snapped off.
