I Was Expecting More Creek 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 26, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

The blue Veteran baskets stand out well, and the practice basket has plenty of room around it.

Tee signs are great, they have a lot of information and they point you to the next hole, and navigation is incredibly easy as the paths are cut through the taller stuff from one basket to the next tee.

Benches on holes 5 and 10.

There's enough elevation to go around. The double drop on 9 was probably my favorite use of it, but hole 5-7 and 12-16 have awesome elements. 5-16 are the good part of this course.

I like the challenging drive on 7 as pretty much the entire fairway is sloped to the left. A backhand might skip into the trees, a forehand might get up and roll into them.

Hole 5 had a basket at both pin spots, and the long pin presented a big challenge with the pin down a steep hill about 350 feet down the fairway, and a large pine halfway down that hill blocking a direct second shot at the pin.

The unique tee positions on 8, 12, 13, and 16 make some very challenging holes where there could have been some real duds. Especially hole 13!

Cons:

About those real duds... the golf course holes. 1-4, 14, and 17-18 are pretty sad. They're not bad holes since there is rough on each side of the hole and some minor elevation differences, but not enough to keep them from seeming very similar (17's short pin is tucked behind a tree trunk, but still not very challenging). 3 does have a raised basket which helps. I don't mind a few wide open, flat holes, but 7 is a few too many.

MUD. EVERYWHERE. The last precipitation was 3 days ago, and tons and tons of spots were still squishy. It started at the practice basket, in front of every single tee pad, the paths between baskets, hole 3 before the raised area, the hills on 5 and 6, random spots in the fairway on 8, 10, 12, 13, and 17... it was bad. Needs a ton of grass seed to improve this.

On my trip here on Feb 26, every single basket was in the shorter pin besides 9 and 13. I assume this was done for the winter, but still a little disappointing.

For being called Big Bull Creek... you're only forced to throw across the creek once, and that's only if hole 10 is in the long pin.

Other Thoughts:

I have very few complaints about this course. If the mud gets remedied and a few trees are added to the wide open holes this has the potential to be a 4, but nothing more. There's a huge missed opportunity with the creek and some of the shapes it makes. Could have had one or two tougher water holes while still keeping the risk of losing a disc low.

You park in the park police lot. I didn't realize this and drove a mile past it before heading back.

This isn't a must-play course, but if you get bored of the options closer to KC this is a great alternative with some unique tee spots and greens.

Fun New Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good elevation changes, some wide open shots cans also some more technical shots. Ability for multiple pin placement. Overall fun course.

Cons:

Tee pads are a bit odd. Benches and permanent signage are not in yet. It's a new course, so that is expected.

Other Thoughts:

Fun, new course with definite growth potential.
