Other Thoughts:
While heading south we stopped in WaKeeney.
Decided to see if there were any geocaches and there were.
Several caches. One cache lead us to this park.
Not a technical course but since we were already here, it was still fun to play.

I Had To Do Some Scouting In Scout Park! 2+ years

Pros:
Scout Park is this typical little city park in Wakeeney, Kansas. it's not right downtown and doesn't feature a lot of amenities like playground equipment or picnic areas. It's just kind of a nicely kept grass area with a old historic cabin up in the upper part of the park. The course starts in the lower grassy area and takes you throughout the entirety of the park. The park does have some scattered mature trees and just a little elevation change to make the course interesting.
The hole distances ranges from a long of 320' to the shortest at just 76'. The course has yellow baskets with numbers on tops. There are no tee pads that I ever saw and no signs. I just played from basket to basket. The wind was blown so hard that a five putt was an adventure all day.
There was a variety of hole types from wide open like # 3, 320' throwing up to the basket near the RR tracks to the little short ACE run, # 6, just 76'. Then # 7 was a 243' anhyser throw to basket set in a small grove of trees. # 8 is a 196' hyser around the water tower to a basket near the cabin. And finally, # 9 plays back down to the valley, completing the circuit.

Cons:
Howling western Kansas winds make every shot an adventure.
It's just a short little rec course.
No tee pads-no signage-no map.

Other Thoughts:
As DGtourist said in his review, the directions state that this course is just west of the water tower AND there are, in fact, two water towers in Wakeeney! But again, as he stated, Wakeeney is a difficult town to get lost in and the course is by the water tower and 9th Street. You'll have no problems finding the course. Putting here in the wind is a different story. As the immortal Jim Croce wrote, "You Just Don't Spit In The Wind."

In my journey to play all the courses in Kansas, this one fits what I see a lot. Its a 9 hole course in a small park and taken care of. I enjoyed playing it and will again if I get the opportunity.
