Pros:
It's in my home town! The course is great for beginners. The baskets are pretty much straight in front of you but they require a mix of shots. Nearby bathrooms are sometimes open but if not there is usually a port-o-john somewhere in the park. Course runs past a swimming pool, skate park and playground so it is ideal for little ones. Stroller friendly. Pet friendly but they are probably supposed to be on leashes (I don't think you will have to worry about unleashed pets until you get near hole #8 and #9 since they run along the side of Highway 177). Brand new Gopher QuikShot baskets. Very easy to follow. There is a box on a sign near hole #1 that has scorecards/maps.
Cons:
Grass tees. 9 holes. Holes #3 & #4 run in between baseball fields. Holes #8 & #9 run along the side of Highway 177 so you have to be careful with your shots or little ones (It is only 30 mph right there but cars start speeding up on their way out of town). Course cannot be played if multiple baseball games are going on.
Other Thoughts:
Shorter course so it can easily be played quickly if you are on your way through town. Just a few miles North of Council Grove is the CG Reservoir; camping, boating, fishing, etc. Nice little town. Make sure and eat at the Saddlerock Cafe located 1 block South of the fire station on East Main, tasty homestyle diner.
