Small Town-Small Park-Small Course-Small Fun! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Solomon City Park is located in the small central Kansas town by the same name. It's located just off I-70 making it an easy stopover for those driving across the state. This park takes up one city block and is filled with tennis courts, a performing stage complete w/bleachers, bathrooms, picnic shelters, horseshoe pits and playground equipment. The course is designed to play in and around these obstacles and the mature trees in the park.

There are six older baskets set about the park. There are no tee pads and no signage. You are basically just going to play from basket to basket.

According to the DGCR information sheet, tee # 1 starts on the south side of the tennis courts. I then threw to a basket down behind the stage area. # 2 then plays to the basket along S Pine St. # 3 Throws from the corner to a basket in the center of the park. # 4 was a fun little throw. I used the stage as a tee pad and threw to a basket in front of the bathrooms. # 5 to a basket on the corner of Walnut and then # 6 plays back to basket on the other side of the tennis court.

I had the park completely to myself, just me and the ever present howling Kansas wind.

Cons:

Only six baskets.

Small park, cluttered with obstacles.

Would be difficult to impossible to play when people are present.

Minimal challenge.

Other Thoughts:

If I happened to live in Solomon, Kansas, I'd play this little course. I'd make sure I got here at all the odd hours to avoid the crowds. I'd play it forward, reverse it, safari it, free style it, whatever. I might work with the city fathers to put in some kind of small tee markers.

But since I don't happen to reside in Solomon, Kansas, this is just another perfect example of the 15 minute course that we course baggers love so dearly! Love em and leave em! No attachment! No flowers! Sneak out in the morning before they wake! I was in and out of Solomon before the hood of my car cooled.

Cons:

Very crowded park

No designated Tees

DisCat13 did a pretty good job with his review and I don't want to be repetitive. I will say the park was clean when I was there. I updated the distances here and in the uDisc app.
