Cement tee pads
2 pin positions for each hole
Still has tee signs

Construction has taken out basket 9
no need for anything more than a midrange

This is a nice little family friendly course that would be good for beginners too.
Also a good ace run course.
Even the longest holes don't need more than a midrange.
I found myself throwing my upshot putter on almost every hole.
Every hole does have at least 2 pin positions, most were in the longest when I played.

Unfortunately, some of these do cross sidewalks. Now looking at the OG pictures uploaded here, looks like some of those sidewalks were put in after the course. The bad one was on hole 8. I almost hit a kid on a bike because he came out as I was throwing and I missed him by only a couple of feet.

Other than that, the holes are not boring. The basket for hole 9 is missing and the pin position would be behind a construction fence for the pool area. I just played hole 9 as a big turnover to hole one's basket.

Would I play here again? Not really. It's a fun little course to play a quick round, but there are SO many good courses in the KC area, no reason to play here again unless I only have a short time and am in the area.

- very well maintained park
- ample parking
- some tree hazards to create a bit of challenge
- good incorporation of limited elevation change
- good size concrete tees
- two pin positions per hole (one populated at a time)
- Innova DISCatcher baskets in good shape w/hole numbers
- tee signs are full color with maps
- very quick round if you're looking for a fast stop

- many safety hazards with walking paths crisscrossing park
- course is crammed into a pretty small area
- relatively easy with not too many obstacles
- fairways cross in at least one place
- course is extremely short
- creek next to property would have been a cool water hazard to incorporate

Lenexa DGC is a fun little course that I thoroughly enjoyed playing. It is short, and really is mostly a putter and midrange course. The equipment here is very good and the park is in great shape. The main con is just the proximity to walking paths; there are some blind shots where someone can come around a corner and this happened to me once. The risk of hitting someone is high and a bit scary. In addition, one of my pet peeves of two fairways crossing each other exists here. If this park were crowded it could be ugly; I suspect this is usually not the case.

When I played hole 9 was missing due to construction on the waterpark. Hopefully it is coming back eventually. There is some decent elevation change incorporated here and while the course is very short and somewhat open in places, it is a lot of fun and can probably be completed solo in darn near 20 minutes.

For as short as this course is, the multiple pin positions per hole is very surprising. It's a nice touch, but almost kind of funny for such a small course. As simple a place as this is, it really is well taken care of. It's definitely worth a stop if you're going through the KC metro hitting niners but nothing to go out of your way for. It is probably one of the better niners in the KC area though.

Lenexa DGC plays in Sar-Ko-Par Park in the NW part of Lenexa, KS. A beginner course that plays around basketball, tennis courts, and walking trails in the eastern part of the park. #1 begins near the basketball court. A drop down into a valley for #2 ends up in a grove of trees for a nice finish. #3 plays toward the creek. #4 - #6 play on the other side of the creek. #7 and #8 throw in the same direction, not far from one another. #9 finished with a tee tucked in the trees just off the walking path. This is a quick play. It is definitely designed for the beginner with all but one hole under 200' and that one is if the basket is in the right place. There is some interest with the elevation and trees in play. My main concern here is safety, especially from the walking paths. We had to hold up a few times to not bean anyone. This is a busy park. For a beginner, it would show a few good technical aspects of the game without killing someone for the walk or the long drives. I can see its use there. More experienced player can utilize it for upshot and putting work. Maybe use it to warm up or show someone the game. Still many more to explore in the KC area and I'd skip this one on another run in the area.

Lenexa DGC at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park is the perfect beginners course. It has everything you might possibly want for a newbie to have a fun time and absolutely nothing more. This is the place to get your first birdie, your first ace, or your first under par round. Amenities are nice, being in a well-kept up park, and cement tee pads, tee signs, and pretty straight forward navigation.

Every hole has something interesting to it. There are a decent amount of hills, scattered trees (especially on 4-6), and a couple of low ceilings. There is hardly any thick woods, so there's not much lost disc potential. It's possible on 3-8 due to a creek, but the danger is pretty low.

Most holes offer multiple lines to the basket, despite how short they are. This makes the course a little more fair for different shot types, especially for people who only throw BH or FH. The hills offer some decent variety, mainly 2 and 9.

Even for intermediate players, this place is a birdie fest, and scores of -9 quickly become possible. You can also make a back nine for yourself, which uses the existing tees and baskets but adds mandos to force different lines around certain trees.

Okay, the holes are really short, and that prevents this course from being very exciting. While that's fine for this course, having a little more distance would always spice things up a bit. The shortness also means some of the trees don't do anything. Especially on hole 6, you can completely miss your line but still have a putt because all of the trees are near the basket. Also, hole 1 is pretty boring; the only tree is beside the basket, and there's a path behind. This may have been intentional, starting with a simple hole, but the result wasn't great.

Safety can be a concern. Walking paths are somewhat in play on around half the holes, and also tennis courts on hole 3. In most cases, it's easy to see if anyone is coming, but the exception is hole 8, which has a path near the basket and trees that block your vision. One of the pins is across the path, which makes things even worse. While smart players will do fine, a busy day could make rounds take annoying long.

The multiple pin positions don't really add anything to this course. They bring some more paths into play on some holes, and the pins are pretty close to each other anyway. While it technically gives the course more variety, it makes the tee signs a little more confusing.

This is one of the few courses that I don't think has any room for improvement. It's made for beginners, and it fulfills that role perfectly. While it won't offer much challenge for anyone better, it is a good warmup course and would be a course I would love to have within walking distance of where I live. 15 minute rounds are very feasible.

If you call the paths OB, several holes become instantly harder. This is good as it adds some extra challenge while not burdening the beginners.

Overall, I like this course even though it isn't very grandiose. It's a fun and casual round no matter who you are, and while most players will hopefully outgrow this course and turn towards the many better courses in the area, this can be a stepping stone for bigger and better courses, or one you come to just to mess around and have fun.

Lenexa Disc Golf Course sits inside a park called Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park. The course starts at the front of the park right by the basketball court. There is a nice sign complete with a course map. You probably won't need the map. The concrete tee pads are small but perfectly functional here. The tee signs are solidly built and give you the information you need. The baskets are Discatchers with a number on each one. You probably don't need this number either. Each hole has both an A and B position. Each hole is a potential Ace waiting to happen.

# 1 is a 138' straight shot.
# 2 is a neat little 123' downhill toss.
# 3 is interesting as you need to throw a hyser around the tennis courts.

Cross the bridge to get to 4-6.

# 4 is 144' to a basket with four trees around it.
# 5 is 138' needing a minimal hyser.
# 6 is a straight 135'. Miss one tree here.

Cross the bridge again.

# 7 is straight and 198'.
# 8 plays either 189' or 207' or 177' and all you need is a simple hyser.
# 9 is either 141' or 219' up a small hill from a tee pad stuck off in the bushes.

What's wrong with this course is........nothing! For it's target audience it's about perfect. For those of you who want to compete, throw big air and play big boy courses, then this is not the course for you.

This is just a very comfortable and fun course for the beginner crowd. There aren't many courses around that really cater to the really casual player, the ones who come out with one disc or the family with two kids. I like the fact that it incorporates so many elements of a so called regular course. It has a fun downhill, hyser throws, anhyser throws and nine Ace runs. Come and chase Aces but don't show up and then complain that it's too short and easy. Lenexa Disc Golf Course wasn't designed for you, Dude.

This is an extremely quick course to play if you are in a hurry or if you just want to get a warm-up before heading to another course. It has concrete t-pads but they are not really necessary. If you are desperate to get your first Ace, there is a good chance of it here. It is a great beginner course, so it might be good if you take a friend just getting into the game. It is good to work on your short game and putts. It is rarely crowded

It is only 9 holes. There are often walkers and joggers on the course. Hole 8 throws over part of hole 7. It feels like you are playing the equivalent of miniature golf sometimes. Calling the holes par 3's might be a bit of a stretch.

I play this course a fair amount because I can get to it so easily while my kids are busy with gymnastics or dance. I can pretty much play the whole course in about 20 minutes. Even if the holes are short it can be a good ego boost after playing some of the longer courses around town.

Very Clean
New Baskets
New concrete pads
Good use of small area

Very short
9 holes
Last hole is boggy (I think the pool has a leak)

This is a great course for working on your upshots and putting. Most holes are in the 120-180 range. There is good use of elevation and trees. It is kind of like playing waterworks after your drive.

Navigation on the holes is very easy, every basket can be seen from the tee. 10/10

Navigation between holes is also easy. Between 3 and 4 and between 8 and 9 are the only kind of tricky spots but there is a map at the start. 9/10

This course does a great job of using the obstacles that are available on the land, especially considering how small of an area it is. 9/10 use of obstacles

Baskets are nice new DISCatchers, tee pads are short, but this isn't a big deal due to the length of the holes. 8/10

Course is very well mowed and is in great shape for a new course. Tee signs are recently improved. Still a little rough around the edges with lots of poison ivy that is very in play. 8/10 on maintenance.

Lots of shade, a bench present, and a water fountain near the start. However, lots of poison ivy and thick woods knocks comfort down to a 6/10

Only a few holes require a decision on what shot path to throw (4, 5, and 9), but the length introduces risk reward (go for the ace or play it safe for an easy 2?) Decisionmaking required: 6/10

Not only is this course EXTREMELY short, but there is not much variety from hole to hole, even with the alternate tee positions. 7 and 8 are a little longer than the rest but overall variety of distances is 2/10.

Holes 2 and 3 are downhill, 9 is a little uphill, but the rest are almost completely flat. They didn't have a ton to work with but I felt like they could have done more than they did. 3/10

Definitely a beginner only course unless you're just looking for some upshot practice. 3/10 on challenging all levels

Despite how open the course appears, discs are pretty hard to find. Going a little long on a few holes (5, 6, 8) can put you in some thick woods woods and the brush on 2, 7, and 8 can be brutal. 4/10

There are 2 possible positions on each hole, which is nice, but in most cases the alternates don't really change the holes much except for 30ft of distance. 4/10

Variety in openness is okay. 6 of the 9 holes don't really have any trees in the way until you get within 30ft of the basket. (4, 6, and 9 are exceptions) 4/10

There's an okay amount of variety on the shot paths on this course. 3 (and 1 and 8 when long) forces a hyzer, 9 forces an anhyzer, and 4 encourages one or the other, but on the other five holes straight and simple works perfectly. 5/10

I initially had this course at a 2.22 on my spreadsheet (go to my profile if you're curious) which was rounded down to a 2. Improvements to tee signs, a couple of signs to help with navigation, reduction of poison ivy (although more could still be done here) has moved this course up to a solid 2.51.

1/10 difficulty, One of the easiest courses I've ever played. Good for introducing new players to the game or for intermediate players to practice, but if you're advanced you probably won't get much out of the experience here.

As a tennis player, discs repeatedly hitting the fence right next to me or possibly flying onto the court on hole 3 would get really annoying.

This park seemed to have a lot of land that would have been great for disc golf from what I saw, it's a shame that more of this land is not allotted for it.
