You can put 9 holes anywhere. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Amazing you can fit 9 holes into such a small area but still be plenty passable for multiple groups. Plenty of birdie holes. It is Pamona Lake, so you can camp and also play the 18 hole on the other side of the lake or drive 20 minutes East to Ottawa and play another 18 hole that is worth the drive if you are in the area. You can see the parking area from any place on the course, trashcan in the center and walking distance to the restrooms.

Cons:

You have to pay a state parking fee of $4.20 (not kidding) unless you have a state pass or you are camping in the park...that's about all that I can think of for cons, it's pretty sweet for a short 9 hole.

Other Thoughts:

HAPPY DISCIN'!!!

Short, Sweet, and Sleepy 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a very clean, simple 9-hole course with nice equipment. This place has some hidden/protected baskets. That really helped make the course somewhat interesting. The baskets and cement tee pads are in great shape. Navigation here is crystal clear. The fairways are mowed to help with this. There was a great use of the trees to make the holes somewhat fun for the beginner.

Cons:

This course is really short and there just isn't enough of a challenge to really get excited here. The piece of land is surrounded by the park's road and they crammed the holes in it.

Other Thoughts:

The Fun Factor here is a bit lacking mostly because there just isn't much hole length variety going on here. Even with the hidden/protected pins, which are something I love, it is just too simple of course for me. Since it costs to get into the park, I would not pay to play here again. I actually, would probably not even play here again as it is just not challenging enough.

Fun training wheels course, but that's about it. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

They did a reasonably good job here with the parcel of land they had available. Tees and baskets are in good shape. Some cool blind pin holes make up for the short length. Course is very easy to negotiate even without a map. Mowed "park golf" style so there's little chance of losing a disc here. If you were camping at the lake and had got some non-DG'ers, this would be a perfect course to introduce them to the game.

Cons:

Well, it was built for rec players and families. For advanced players, its not all that challenging and leaves a lot to be desired, particularly compared to the course in the corps park across the lake, which doesn't require paying to get into The tucked and blind pins are nice, but your biggest obstacle here is likely going to be the wind. If you're only going to stop by and play the course, not worth the price of entry.

Other Thoughts:

Pomona is one of three state parks in Kansas with a disc course, this one being the only nine holer. KDWP land has a lot of good potential for future courses and Pomona is no exception as there is easily enough land in this park to build another more challenging course. I had initially planned to just do my photos here and move across to Wolf Creek for a round, but running late on time, I decided to change my plans and do a round here to loosen my arms up. I was rewarded with an ace on hole 6.
