Disc golf on church property seems to be an increasing theme. Thankfully, I've never been given any grief for randomly showing up and playing these courses. This is probably one of the best church courses I've played to date - I think the top prize still goes to The Breakers in West Olive, MI which is a full 18.

This is a fun course; while not having any mind-blowing uniqueness, it has a bit of challenge and some limited need for shot shaping decisions. I wish there was a throw parallel to the creek with some higher water hazard potential, instead of just throwing over/near it. While there is an absolutely MASSIVE church on this property that often is quite busy, the disc golf course is set quite a ways from the building and has its own parking area at the corner of the main lot.

The course was clean and the equipment here is all top notch. There is only one tee and pin placement per hole which is pretty typical for nine holes. Some of the holes were a bit more open than I'd like, but the course incorporates some good elevation change and is a fun, relatively quick round. I noticed the crazy Kansas City wind most on hole 9 which is up on the hilltop and wide open, but it also came into play a bit on holes 5 and 6.

Overall, there's no X factor here, but not a ton of real cons either. For what the course is, it was executed well. I can't imagine this course ever gets that busy. If it did, there are a few fairways that play close enough together on this out-and-back course that you would want to be careful of other players and where your disc goes. You'll probably need at least 30 minutes to play solo but probably not too much more than that.

There was a little bit of trash down near the creek that is typical of waterways that move anything they pick up into dammed areas. This is unfortunate but the rest of the course was quite clean. I don't recall any benches or trash cans but forgot to take note one way or another.

I mostly played this course because it looked slightly better than other nine holes around and wanted something quicker between some of the excellent 18 hole courses in the Kansas City metro. This did not disappoint for a quick diversion. Certainly not a destination course or anything to go out of your way for, but very close to Bad Rock Creek and not terribly far from Water Works Park, among others. It's worth a stop if you want something quick.

A nice little parking area was added just for disc golf, and the course starts and ends very close to it. Concrete tees are decent size, and the DisCatcher baskets are always a plus (practice basket included).

The signage is excellent. It gives a decent map of the hole and points you to the next tee once you've finished. Paths are worn in on the longer transitions (1-2 and 7-8) so they're easy to follow.

Elevation is a big plus here. The first three holes are all downhill, with 1 being the most extreme, and 2 and 3 having corners to get around to get a deuce. Hole 4 goes strongly uphill, 6 is an excellent downhill where you can go with a low forehand or a big backhand hyzer, then hole 9 plays across the very edge of the "valley" with the drop off to the right.

Hole 7 is a really nice right-to-left hyzer shot with trees guarding the pin closely.

Hole 8 is a low-ceilinged par 4 with a tight inside left line or a wider right line about 175ft off the tee, both under a ceiling of about 8ft, then it's ashallow uphill the rest of the way to the pin with some trees guarding lines to the pin. It's a short but challenging par 4.

5 and 6 are fairly open and boring, and the slope away on the green of 6 is quite mean and leads to a patch of dirt that holds water really well. 5 is also pretty long for the difficulty level of the rest of the course. 9 has no trees, but is saved by the danger of a 10ft drop all the way down the right side of the hole.

A long throw on 3 could go toward the teepad of 4.

The creek can be a bit annoying to retrieve discs from, but it's not impossible.

This is a great little course put into the corner of the church's land. The elevation keeps the course interesting, but the shorter distances (except 5) keep it accessible to new players. Definitely worth a visit if you're coming through Liberty and want to add 9 more holes to your stop.

This 9 hole layout is set to the side of the church parking lot and has some nice hill top views on either end, with a woodsy valley between them. Concrete tee boxes and fresh baskets are nice. Layout is not very long, but has a par 4 and a couple of 340'+ par 3 holes.
The elevation and trees are used well to shape shots along either side of the creek bottom.

Hole 1 is is a fun initial tee shot. A putter is all you need to reach the bottom of a good sized slope. Very much a birdie opportunity, unless you overshoot the pin and wind up in the trees. 2 is kind of a short line drive under tree canopy, short and reachable with a mid range or putter. 3 is mid distance and slightly uphill with a pin protected by a mature tree. 4 is another short hole that plays back downhill, with the pin at the end of a left to right turning fairway. 5 is pretty much level and open, but the fairway does slope downhill from left to right if you miss the line.

6 is the turn at the opposite side of the valley, and is very similar to the first hole. Downhill with a lot of air space, a bit longer than 1, and instead of trees, there is a creek behind the pin at the bottom of the hill that needs to be avoided. 7 is a right to left turner that you really have to bend. To get the proper distance the drive must remain close to the trees on the inside of the turn, then maybe hope for a nice skip to run toward the basket. Hole 8 is the par 4, and has the creek to the right side and a line of woods to the left. A couple of stray trees dot the fairway as well as you approach the pin. It takes a couple of good shots to get a birdie chance. The final hole tees at the top of the hill, and plays along the edge of the slope rolling down to the right. It is a longish drive that is open, with a bad roll being the worst scenario. Depending on the angle of the approach, taking a run can be dicey.

Newish tees are surrounded by dirt that was muddy and really stuck to my shoes when I visited.

This course is pretty fun and plays fast if it isn't super busy. Not super easy or championship caliber, but fun for intermediate and recreational players. Good layout on terrain that can be hilly and wooded.

I shot 1 under par, with 3 birdies and 2 bogies. I did miss a putt or three that would have helped me go lower. I will try to go back and get pics to upload once the temps go above freezing. Plays well with the nine hole at William Jewell if you're in the area.

Pleasant Valley features a really nice nine hole course. Navigation is pretty straight forward, with cement tee pads on every hole, and signs that show the hole distance. Baskets are new and in good condition and have the hole numbers on the band.

Even with only nine holes, there is some pretty good variety. There are three tunnel shots, uphill and downhill holes, and hills that slope left or right. Hole 8 is a fun par 4, and hole 3 plays downhill, through one gap in the trees, with a slight right finish and low ceiling all the way.

Every hole has at least something interesting about it, which is more than can be said of plenty of courses. It's either hills, trees, or both. Holes 1, 8, and 9 play on or near a pretty steep slope that can cause rollaways.

There are good holes, and there are bad holes. 1, 6 and 9 are a little too open, and 7 has a really odd shape. It keeps turning to the left with no hope for LHBH/RHFH, players, and even for people with left-turning shots, it's still a little much.

Mud is an issue, but once the course has been in a little longer and has time to recover from installation, it probably should be fine. Also, some snow was melting when I was there.

The creek that runs through the course isn't used well. It isn't an important part of the course challenge-wise, but it will be a nightmare to get discs out of. That may have been the intention, but especially for beginner players, a disc could easily go in on an errant shot.

There isn't a whole lot of variety in hole distance. Other than the one par 4 and two short holes, most everything is around 300 feet. Speaking of which, those two short holes (2 and 4) aren't all that great.

This course is certainly worth a play. While it lacks qualities that would make an amazing course, it plays pretty quick because of the layout and the fact that it's only nine holes.

The tee signs are double-sided. It helps you more quickly identify the hole, but it is sometimes unclear which direction the hole goes. Fortunately, it's usually pretty easy.
