Pros:
I will give them this, they tried. It was a good idea to use the land for another activity on the church grounds. Here are my observations:
#1- Shoot over trees about 50ft off of the box. Big tree to the right of the basket whose branches protect the basket.
#2-Trees to shoot thru to reach the basket approx 85 ft from the tee box.
#3 Trees off the box to contend with. You could go left or right here and reach the pin easily.
#4-Tunnel shot, with trees on your left all the way to the hole. There is also a baseball diamond to the right. To me this was the best hole on the course.
#5-Has a pathway on the right hand side from the box, trees and a pavilion to the left. Make it past the clearing and it is a clear path to the hole. The basket is just on the other side of the wooden fence.
#6-Bombs away. Here is your chance to air it out. There is a light pole on your right about 20 foot off of the box.
#7-Trees line the fairway. Get by the first set of trees and you'll be fine. Basket between 2 trees.
#8-Low ceiling off the box. Basket out in the open.
#9-A final chance to air one out. Power pole to the left of the tee box. Basket between tees. Stay to the right with your drive.

Cons:
The baskets need a ton of work. They are homemade and have a plastic top and bottom. Some were in need of repair upon my visit. I saw that some baskets were held together with what appeared to be electrical wiring. In several spots there wasn't any shade and could get very hot here. Also you have to content with stickers, cheat, and uneven ground on almost all holes.
Also it would be nice to know what the distance is for each hole. The only thing marking the tee area is a wooden marker with a number on it, as stated in the other review.

Other Thoughts:
I wouldn't drive out of my way to play this course. If you were close, or on a quest to play all the courses in the state(as I am) then stop and play it once to get it over with. Nothing really outstanding here. Its sad and with a little improvement this could be an average course. As it is not really worth your time when there are better courses in the Wichita area. It is what it is.
This course could be so much better with a few tweaks. There are some things here to work with just not enough to make you say, "Wow I think I really will come play here again".
