Pros:
9 holes with concrete tees and freshly panted, yellow rimmed DISCatchers. Edgewood Park has some fun shots, and a couple of interesting spots. Hole one has both. The basket is guarded by several trees, and is backed by a creek that can catch a disc that is thrown too far left or too deep. A nice RHBH hyzer line exists, but watch out for the big skip.
Hole 2 tees over the creek, and has trees on either side out of the box. It isn't a long carry over the creek and the window is fairly roomy, but there is a nice tunnel vibe from the tee. Hole 3 crosses the creek, but it is not very much danger on that stretch. Aside from a light post and one small tree, there isn't much resistance.
4 is one of the longer holes, and as you near the pin it gets a bit more interesting. The pin is circled by mature trees, and backed by a bend of the creek. 5 is long, flat and almost entirely open. Unless there is a throw badly missed it is hard to find much trouble.
Hole 6 pin is on a tree stump and the basket is elevated about three feet higher than normal. There are a couple of saplings in the fairway, but a lot of room to work with multiple lines, and not covering too much distance.
7 is another right to left shot with a few mature trees standing in front of the basket. Reachable as long as you avoid the timber on the way there. 8 is longish and pretty open. One big tree to the right mid fairway has branches that can grab a drive that is too nose up.
9 maybe the best hole, with length and narrow gaps in the fairway and on the approach. This drive requires the most precision off the tee.
Cons:
Flat, and half the holes are pretty open. Standard for most of Kansas, but the layout makes the most of it. No tee signs as of yet. Directional assistance would be ok, but it isn't too difficult to figure out where to go next.
Other Thoughts:
A nice course that defines the 2.5 Decent/Typical tier in my book. 9 holes, not extremely challenging but not beginner level easy either.
Well equipped, but not fully decked out. Lacking the elevation changes and heavy woods shots that spark most of my love/hate relationships with disc golf courses. Exhilaration and frustration levels will not enter the red zone here. Fun, fast and fully adequate.
I shot 2 over par (29) on my first and only round played at Edgewood so far. Birdies on hole 1 and 7 helped me out, but a double bogey on 2 canceled them out, and the bogies on 4 and 6 put me over. Excuses? It was cold and breezy. I wasn't loosened up. Nothing valid. I'll have to return and play until I post a respectable score I suppose.
