Alternate tees/hole positions 9/10. The two sets of tees are red and blue, but rather than red being all longs or all shorts, each hole alternates which color tee is the longer one. This essentially gives 4 options for what to play (all short for beginners, all long for more advanced players, or all red/blue for intermediates). Several holes have really good alternate hole positions that completely change the feel of the hole, while others either have no alternate position or an alternate position that doesn't change much. This is mostly on the first few holes that are more crammed together, from hole 8 on the variety is very good.

Variety of distances 9/10. Overall the course is pretty long, especially after the first few holes, but there are enough short holes mixed in (7, 11, 13) that it doesn't just feel like you're bombing every hole. You can also mix up the tees you're playing from for more variety.

Course Maintenance 8/10. The grass is always manicured and the course is clean despite the lack of trash cans. There have been a couple of times where there are large limbs that have fallen after a storm and taken quite awhile to be cleaned up, and some tees near the river get covered with mud frequently.

Reasonably challenging all levels 8/10. Having multiple sets of tees really helps to make this course fun for everyone. The reason I didn't rate this even higher is the amount of water and length of even the short tees on the back 9 isn't very beginner friendly.

Comfort during the round 6/10. It could use more benches for sure, especially with how long it is, but there is a good amount of shade and the grass is always short. Even the woods are pretty trampled down due to the amount of traffic on the course. Water fountains and a bathroom partway through would be helpful as well.

Navigation between holes 2/10. As stated in other reviews, there is no course map present to help with navigation. It's also difficult to tell where pads are from much distance since there are no tee signs. Not only that, but there were formerly at least numbers painted on the tee pads that told you what hole you were on and showed which direction the hole went from the tee, but they have now faded to the point where most are indistinguishable.

Amount/use of elevation 3/10. For the most part the course is pretty flat, the elevation change that is present is mostly from the embankment along the river from holes 11-18. Holes 6, 7, and 16 are exceptions to this with a couple of rolling hills. 11-13 feel pretty stale since they all have the river on the left and the embankment sloping from right to left in the right half of the fairway.

Finding discs 3/10. There is a lot of potential to lose discs, especially from hole 11 on with either the river on the left (11-13, 15, 17, 18 short) or a pond that is very much in play (16, 18 long, and to a lesser extent 5 long).

Navigation on holes themselves 4/10. Once you are on the tee the navigation is a little better, but the lack of tee signs means there isn't a map showing you where to go. Most of the baskets can be seen from the tee which makes it easy, but there are still several holes that can't be seen from at least one of the tees (1, 2, 5-7, 18) where a map and/or a marker showing which placement the basket is inwould be helpful.

Variety of shot paths 4/10. There are several holes that strongly favor a right to left shot, but almost none that favor left to right (I think hole 18 short is really the only one). Several of the straighter/more open holes give options to throw different shot paths, but this course is definitely RHBH/LHFH friendly.

Overall challenge 8/10
More exact rating: 3.59

This course receives the most play of any in Wichita, and can be very crowded in the evenings or on weekends. There are also a decent number of cars/walkers/joggers that you'll need to keep in mind as you play.

This is a solid course, pretty much tied with Herman Hill as my two favorite courses in Wichita. With the installation of a course map, detailed tee signs, and some benches or other amenities I would have it at a 4.

- Multiple Tees
- Good variety of lefty/righty, short/long. Mostly open shots.
- Concrete tee pads in good shape and level.
- Fairways are fairly open and there are multiple flight paths on a majority of holes.
- Park is well maintained and plays along the Arkansas River which makes for some really great scenery, but adds a bit of risk.

- No tee signs
- Course flows fairly well...however, there are quite a few instances where you have to back track to get to the next tee.
- There are a few instances where walkers may be at risk, so caution should be taken.
- No benches or trash receptacles.

- All in all I liked this course. I really enjoyed Holes 6, 16, and 18.
- The differences in the Blue and Red tees escapes me. Normally they are differentiated by distance but that didn't seem to be the case. I think they may have separated them by technicality instead. This was a bit confusing.

Two sets of cement tees, red and blue, with excellent variety between them.
Practice basket.
Message board at hole 1.
Pro shop just a few blocks away, and another one across town.
Well manicured course, in a scenic park.
Plenty of long holes to air out your discs.

Oak park is a large park located near downtown Wichita. The Arkansas river comes into play on several holes, running along the left fairway of these holes. Lots of mature trees but not dense by any measure. A few holes have baskets placed just inside the woods, and a few holes have tee pads located just inside the woods.

The course plays long, regardless of which set of tees you use.

This course has a great signature hole on 18, shooting over a pond. I would say hole 6 long tee (not sure what color), is pretty cool, too. You throw over a (smaller) pond from a slightly elevated tee pad.

No real elevation here. A few tee shots have minor elevation, but the course is mostly flat.

Hole 1 has the only trash can on the course.
Hole 6 has a large tree trunk laying on the ground for seating. The rest of the course had no seating.
No water on the course, although convenience stores / fast food restaurants are nearby.

This course gets very crowded, since there are only two 18 hole courses within city limits. There are other great courses nearby, but this course sees the most traffic.

I found this weird, but hole 8 seems to be the only hole with two pin placements.

Risk / Reward - The risk here is going big to reach the pin, and risking OB in the river or street, or losing control of your drive and hitting a tree.

Fun Factor - This is a challenging and fun course. Although it's a fairly open park course, just shooting par is a real challenge, due to the wind and length of the course. My best was 5+.

Some L to R holes, and some R to L holes, but most holes are straight ahead with length being the real obstacle.

Dual TeePads allow for competitive golfers and beginners. The water holes are great (6,11,12,13,16,17,18). Hole 18 Blue pad awesome hole. The course is surrounded by Little arkansas river lots of birds. The wooded area is state bird reserve, so lots of birds. Course map is very helpful with navigation.

Tee signs would help but if you cant have them you cant have them. Hole 6 to 7 just follow the road.

Lots of local players good for the sport. Some say 8-10,14 are repitive but you still have to find a line and hold to it and short will have to be spot on.

This course had several amazing water holes (6, 11 and 18) with others playing very close to water. 18 is one of the coolest holes ive ever played. The disc golf section of the park was very secluded from excess park traffic. The local club seems active in the course and there were plenty of maps and scorecards available at the kiosk. The course traffic was minimal considering how beautiful the location is as well as its respectable DGCR rating.

The course had two concrete tee pads for each hole which is really nice when playing with players of varying skill and could almost be considered two courses.

The only bad thing is that with the exception of these water shots, the rest of the course seemed repetitive. almost every hole was in an open field with 3-5 trees in or around the fairway.

Great use of the water and woods. You'll really REALLY like #18, or really, REALLY hate it.

Some long walks between holes but neccessary. Low areas could be a problem after a heavy rain.

Wish i'd remembered my camera....... i played on a beautiful day and the course has many photo friendly holes.
