Other Thoughts:
Kansas State Parks do charge a $5 fee per car to use the park. It's worth it considering it's more than double that in Nebraska and Oklahoma park fees.
The course is in an area away from campers and beach goers. There is a pavilion and a makeshift a amphitheater on hole 9.
The course starts at the tree line near the Pavilion and winds it's way around counter clockwise.
Every hole does have a short and long tee. I would not consider the shorts a short course either. I would consider it a medium level. The longs on the other hand could almost be considered a championship level holes.
most memorable holes are hole 7 that is a big dogleg right up a hill with several tree's to navigate on the first 300ft of the hole.
hole 9 is not quite as long, but half way down the fairway is the amphitheater that does come into play. There is a small gap on the left hand side to get to the basket. There are several random trees that make going over the top not a option from most of the fairway. On the other side of the gap of the amphitheater are some thick evergreen disc eating trees. This still plays as a par 5 even though it's not a long hole.
Would I play here again? No, and I will tell you why. The 2 holes I mentioned above are really the only "good" holes. The rest are pretty boring. The course is long because it's open. Playing the rough as OB would add to your score, but I am not a fan of courses like that either.
