Reviewed: Played on:May 2, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pretty much your typical 9 holer. Short, not overly technical or difficult. Does get challenging in the wind if your disc selection is off due to the trees. Several shots need to be played low, go high and you will be in a tree. Pretty fun if you want to add another course to your list, you can do it quickly here then head to Derby.

Cons:

Flows well, concrete tee pads, no hidden baskets, grass is well maintained.

Other Thoughts:

Course map is almost unreadable, tee signs torn up or missing on some holes, baskets are dated and seem too low. Public park so always have to watch for people.

One of my Favorites 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 17, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Beautiful, neighborhood-ish area with lots of pretty trees
-Nice, short, but challenging holes

Cons:

-If the course was 18 holes and kept the same scenery the whole time, it would be a great course!
-No water in the creek when I played

Other Thoughts:

The park is in a nice area. My group likes it because it is a little challenging but the holes aren't far. We haven't been playing long so it's a good course for us. We enjoy it greatly. We usually play the course 2-3 times each visit since it's only 9 holes.

Pros:

Very fun course, easy to find the holes and a well kept green. A quick 9 hole that is slightly challenging.

Cons:

If the ditches had water running in them this would be a very hard course. Hole 9 also seems to be in someones back yard.

Love this 9 holer 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a well kept course with good tee pads and decent signs. There are a few bridges to help you cross the creek.
This course has enough trees to keep you on your toes and challenge your throws.
There are other amenities here like a basketball court, volleyball pit, etc.
This course has ACE run potential on a couple of holes and it has a good mix of challenging holes too, but not so challenging that they are frustrating.
You can play multiple rounds here in a decent amount of time.
Hole observations:
1-Straight shot with a drainage ditch on the left side of the fairway.
2-Short with a low ceiling. The creek is behind the basket.
3-Plays L to R with the basket next to the creek.
4-Straight shot with a low ceiling.
5-Straight shot with a low ceiling.
6-Plays L to R crossing the creek with a protected pin. This is a nice challenging hole.
7-Throws next to the creek with a low ceiling mid fairway.
8-Throws across the creek, basket by some pine trees.
9-Plays L to R with a low ceiling.

Cons:

1's tee sign has a hole in it and 6's tee sign is bent sideways. Also 8's tee sign is gone.
You might have to do some back tracking to cross the creek if the water level is up.
There is a walking path that comes into play on 8 and 9 so be aware.
The pine trees on 8 will leave your disc sappy.

Other Thoughts:

This course will make you shape your shots in order to score well. More experienced players can get by with a fairway driver or a mid range disc to work on that part of their game.
It is a good park style course that is a fun play.
In my opinion its the best 9 holer in the area.
I like to play this course multiple times, as a tune up, before heading up to Stone Creek in Derby. If you are in the area then give this course a play I think you will find something here to interest you.

nice course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 22, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

very nice course, im new to disc golf i enjoyed this course,easy to follow. watch out on hole 8 i had trouble the 2 times i golfed here, creek is in play and the beautiful pine trees on the right like to catch disc, shoot low on this hole.

Cons:

lots of braches and debrie scattered over course left over from heavy t-storms, hole 5 tee is a little far from 4 but once you know where it is no problem.

Other Thoughts:

i really enjoy coming here since i'm new at this, theres no tall grass, i find it challenging enough but not to discourging.this is a excellent course to practice your game

Not a bad little nine holer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 22, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good beginner to intermediate level course in well manicured park. Has all the proper signage that it needs. Decent amount of water threat for the demographic with three holes that straddle the park's small creek and two others that threaten it. Has a good lefty-righty balance. For its short length, demands some precision off the tee pads.

Cons:

Probably will be underwhelming for advanced players. Pros will have a birdie fest here. Longest hole is only 315'. Multiuse park and all of the problems that would likely come with that, (although any time I've been here I was the only one there). Not much space in the way of parking.

Other Thoughts:

I've seen plenty of garden variety small town 9 holers. This is amongst one of the better ones around. If you're finding the established layout a bit too vanilla, and the park isn't otherwise occupied, some good safari holes can be made. Not a must play, but relaxing and fun, and perhaps a good course to get that elusive ace on. Just a few blocks off K-15. You can see the park from the highway.

Mulvane, Ks 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 8, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Placed in a nice well kept park. Easy course to follow as very tee has a sign with number, distance, next tee and direction. The main park sign has a birds eye view of the course with all the tees and baskets labled on it. Tees are concrete. The course plays along a creek which comes in to play on 5 of the holes.

Cons:

The bridges over the creek come in to play on holes 2, 6, and 7.
The creek is very nasty, smells like crap and very dirty water. It is not deep (1 to 2 ft only) but very had to see a disc if it goes in. There were three disc lost in it when we were there. My buddy lost his after it it a tree on hole 6 and rolled in the creek. And two younger kids lost on on hole 3 and 7.

Other Thoughts:

Besides the creek its a really nice course. Nothing real long or real short.

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 6, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to follow course.

The course offers you several shot off the tee. I love to go here and practice my putter and Buzzz game.

Normally mowed and not very busy.

Cons:

Pretty short, and when we play league there once in a while, most people pick the Hyzer line.

Other Thoughts:

Very fun and relaxing place to play and practice.
