Dang it

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 6, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

None, I mean I have a hard time even saying having one basket is a pro. It a cheap portable Innova practice basket nailed down to the ground.

Cons:

Just one basket in a very small park. Shoot, the basket left is not even in the shade, it's next to an open field.

Other Thoughts:

I added an hour of driving time on my Dodge City disc golf trip to hit this course. I should have known there was a reason this one was not listed on UDisc.

Of course there are no tee marked for this one basket. I guess you could walk to different parts of the park and just throw back to this one basket.

As it was, I freaking drove an hour out of the way to bag this course to complete playing every course in this part of the state. (30 extra min to get to it, then 30 added min to the next course on my agenda)

The ONLY positive thing I got out of playing here was driving though the Syracuse Sand Dunes. Who knew there were sand dunes in Kansas. I sure didn't.

Anyways, when I get to it, I will request this course be changed to a one basket practice course or "extinct" it as I have some others I have shown up to and found totally destroyed.

Would I play here again? Hell no, I wish I had saved the $7 in gas to get to this single basket.

but then that is why I am leaving this review, so others don't waste their time heading here.

Pros:

There was not a lot to work with here, but the design makes the best of a small flat park. The 9 baskets are scattered mostly around the edges of the park, and nearly all the tees are on the road that runs around the main area of the park. Some of the holes have some nice trees as obstacles to keep things a little more interesting.

Though the tees are simply spray painted onto asphalt, they are numbered and color coded (for playing forward or backward) and this made the course easier to follow than I expected. The volleyball court added an interesting OB to avoid on a couple holes, and the nearly constant wind (according to locals) also made an easy course more entertaining.

Cons:

This course is truly an introductory course, with no elevation, and very little distance on any of the holes. The asphalt spots used for tees had some cracks and potholes that made them a little difficult to throw from.

We had the park to ourselves, but if there were any other people there, the course would quickly have become unplayable. Just about every fairway crossed over the main field of the park, including the volleyball court and picnic areas.

A couple of the baskets were not anchored to the ground, and the wind was knocking them over, and rolling them away from their intended locations. We were able to find the correct spots and put them back, but this was only a temporary solution.

Other Thoughts:

It's great that small towns are putting in courses, as this is definitely a sport that just about everyone can enjoy. Though this course was not one I would recommend going out of your way to play, it certainly is better than no course at all, and hopefully will help introduce more people to the sport.
