Pros:
Long Cedar is an 18 hole layout that is fun, not too hard and is set in a nice park. The tees and signs are good, and the Dynamic baskets are too. Concrete tees, with a longer option on a few holes. Multiple pin positions on a few holes too.
A little water, and some slight elevation changes give Garnett a little extra zing here and there. OB is in play on a couple of holes too. The fairways are open on most holes, but usually not without at least one or two obstacles to clear. A few holes have narrow corridors or small points of entry. The distance isn't usually that intimidating.
I really liked holes 4-6 on the front nine, playing over contoured terrain with trees and/or water looming. 7-9 also have a few more trees to make drive placement more critical.
The last few holes comprise a fun run. 15 has woods restricting the flight path. 16 is a really cool hole, not long but shooting narrow gaps into a crater. There is a pin set atop a stump with the wall of the pit circling the right side and behind the pin. 17 is a mid range with low ceiling and a tree or two limiting the available air space. 18 is also a fun tee shot. The look off the pad is framed by junipers and low branches, and the drive crosses the road to a flat landing zone. There is a stone wall on the right next to the road, and another blocking the lake behind.

Cons:
Some of the holes are very open and flat with little that stands in the way of a drive or approach. It isn't super difficult. I made 5 birdies on the first 6 holes, but only one after that. Not repping as a professional level disc golfer, but I don't do that often. Especially on the first time around a new course.
Other Thoughts:
Garnett Long Cedar is a cool little course overall. The seriously skilled player may find it a bit of a yawner, but I had a good time. Worth the drive from KC to get in a new track.
I did shoot a 53 on a par 55 layout. There were putts missed and poor approaches that cost me a couple of strokes for sure. The weather was cool and cloudy in early March, I wouldn't mind seeing the place in spring greens or full summer splendor. Maybe I will head out there again if I find myself nearby.
