More Jackson is Just Fine 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 more holes that feature elevation that is not common to Kansas. Less trees than the 18 hole counterpart, but adding to the distance a bit.

The tees are natural, with the same good signs as the long course, and easy to find wooden markers. The baskets are Mach II that are doing good.

I like the downhill throws, and this course has a couple of more good ones. Hole 1 is a shorter run, 5 is a bomb. Also has the uphill side of the hike on this course, with two long holes finishing out on 8 and 9. Birdies are there for the taking on several holes, and par is not tough to achieve unless the wind plays its tricks on you.

Cons:

A short and mostly open course. More exposed to the sun and wind than the other places in the park.

Maybe concrete tees would spruce it up some.

Other Thoughts:

Its pretty good. Not just an afterthought to the 18 hole big brother. Consistently fun, not overly difficult, and very nicely kept.

Quick playing easy layout, and solid gear. Not exactly the same vibe as top 18, but makes a good companion as a third 9.

Nice view 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- nice view from the top of the hill
- set within a well kept park
- signs at tee boxes show par, distance and hole layout
- did not see any poison ivy like we saw on the 18 hole course

Cons:

- grass tee pads
- not as much hole variety as the 18 hole course
- just one set of tees and one basket location
- gets very windy on the top of the hill

Other Thoughts:

The grass was getting very long when we played and it did not look like they had any intention of mowing it. There were some very small fairways mowed but they were WAY too narrow for the average player to hit. The nine hole course may be unplayable by mid summer if it does not receive a more thorough mowing.
