Fun and Challenging
Pros: Very nice and well kept. It's very easy to tell that the course is well taken care of. A few holes are very challenging. There is a good mix of open shots and wooded ones. Definitely a nice change of pace from most courses in kansas. A couple of holes run next to a pond and a creek runs through the course. The holes near the pond are very high risk of a water hazard if you aren't careful. The creek was dried up when i played there so getting discs out wasn't a big deal but I'm sure that can change with a lot of rain.
Cons: The only reason why i didn't give this course a five was because their is hardly any way to tell where to start. The tee pads aren't really marked, me and a friend had to walk a ways to find the basket so we knew what hole we're on. Once you get started the holes flow fairly well. A map or better markers would do a lot!
Other Thoughts: Of all the courses that I've played so far this would be my new favorite. Herman Hill use to be my favorite but this one is better in my mind. If you're a beginner you might want to try a different course though. Some of the holes are pretty tough in my mind.

Report this ReviewPros: Well maintained course. Has a few chances for aces. Good mixture of woods and open shots. Slight water hazard at the end of the course. Good thing there was extreme heat this summer and the creek was dry. I would've had a couple wet disc's.
Cons: Since it was my first time playing, one or two of the holes were confusing. had to walk the fairway to find the basket then go back to drive.
Not sure what the name of the trees are but they have massive thorns on them and seemed to attract some big ass wasps.

Other Thoughts: Definitely plan on playing this one more in 2013.
Great fun factor!
Pros: Stone Creek is a lot of fun to play. The word creek is there for a reason, it was running dry today but the creek bed is prominent and I don't want to try and count all of the bridges. It's a disc golf specific park, meaning that you will not find picnic tables and shelters. There is a port-a-potty and plenty of trash cans. The course was well mowed, clean, and the trees had the lower limbs pruned back consistently. There is plenty of shade at this park and the south wind has no problem getting through the trees. It was 95 degrees with full sun and I had no problems hiking the holes.
Teepads are all marked with signs that include distance and strokes for par. Today was my first visit and I had little trouble navigating. Layout demands accuracy and forethought in order to stay out of trouble.
A couple of holes were very 'aceable' and others were challenging to reach in four. It's a good variety and excellent use of the available terrain. I never felt bored with the course at all.

Cons: Locust trees! Maintenance does a nice job actually trimming the thorns on many of them. Watch where you put your hands.
The trees are great, but keep a close eye on your disc in case it gets deflected. There is very little brush to lose a disc in, but it can end up somewhere unexpected.
Some of the holes, you will want to walk forward and scout out. Both to find the pin and figure out what line to throw.

Much improved, always getting better 
Pros: Great course, it is great for the beginner and still very challenging for the most advanced player. The parks department takes excellent care of the area. Concrete tees and new shorter tees are in the works as I'm typing. This course is tournament length, and ready. Also bring your poles all three ponds have fish in them.
Cons: Hole nine is a bit wooded, but its probably because I haven't figured the route I want to take on this hole regularly yet.
Other Thoughts: If your in the area and have time for a round call me Ill go with you if you'd like the company. 316-300-5440

Really Like This Coure
Pros: Tee Pads are all cement. Easy to make your way from each basket to the next tee. Baskets are homemade, but well made. Parking at Hole 1. Information board with layout and other information. Good variety. Some open long bombs, a good selection of left/right/straight drives, and obviously lots of obstacle shots.
Cons: Can be a bit hard deciding which basket is the one to throw at on a couple holes when you are searching down the field through the trees. If the signage could show the basket on them it would be helpful.
I am not going to call all the tree's and obstacles a con, that is the course!

Other Thoughts: I really like this course alot! It is an accuracy course no doubt. I see a lot of people find the dense tree's a con, but I find this makes it more challenging and you have to take a second to think of what your shot is going to be. Hole 9 IS a wall of tree's but I disagree it needs thinned out. If you can get your drive through, or even just deep into it, you can par that hole everytime...of course that is you dont hit a tree off the tee. That's the fun of it! If you are not confident or dont have a floating disc the water hazards could be intimidating. Get a floater and just go for it!!!All in all a fun course, I really enjoy this one!

Pros: The course is shady and fairly challenging. The city mows the course at least weekly, and is quick to clean up and trim broken limbs. Most of the holes have a well defined route, with the continued exception of #9. Almost never crowded.
Cons: Only one set of tees and basket locations so far, but rumor is that there will be a second set of tee pads poured and multiple pin locations in the near future.
Other Thoughts: Having played the course over the summer about 25 times, i'd have to agree that there is a playable line on #9 - I just couldn't find it at the beginning of the summer!

A Beginners Opinion
Pros: It forces you to learn a low and straight throw. Something I need work on. And with the exception of one water hole (which I skip) it is tough to loose a disc. The baskets are nice and there are big tee signs to help guide your way.
Cons: Someone needs to take a chain saw and cut back the trees just a little bit. With a little trimming it could be a great course. Also number 9 is a ridiculous hole. It makes no sense.
Other Thoughts: Don't forget to check out the Derby Disc Golf Club. We meet Monday at 4:30 and Thursday at day break. It's a social group and you probably are better than me so don't worry about skill.

Other Thoughts: This course has grown and is starting to look good. Finally able to have some other good quality courses just outside wichita.
Defintely give it a try at least once.

Has wonderful potential, but needs some tweaking 
Pros: Incredibly challenging. For all its length, it rewards accuracy over just being able to bomb. Yellow homemade baskets (and yes, they catch pretty good) provide for easy viewing provided you know which one to aim at. Flows fairly logically through a mostly wooded area around a subdivision and to a great degree is disc golf only (although you'll likely find non discers poking around). The small creek in the park provides an extra challenge on some holes. If you're feeling masochistic, you'll like the last two holes. A 430' drive to hit a narrow fairway between dense trees and a pond, and a 600+ tunnel with dense trees on both sides.
Cons: Tee signs, which as of my review are simple yellow signs with just the hole numbers are oriented all sorts of directions. Some are forward, some sideways, some slanted backwards. This leaves you wondering which direction to go. Brush pile blocking Hole 7. Hole 9 for its long length is an obstacle course with no really well defined fairway and can lead you off course. Hole 17 is going to swallow some discs and have rec players crying unfair, particularly if they're left handed.
Other Thoughts: This course has been a work in progress for a few years now, and its really nice to see the whole thing up and running now as it adds a new dimension to disc golf in metro Wichita, contrasting well with the more 'park' style courses at Herman Hill and Oak. I do hope a little bit of tweaking is done to clean up some of the dead wood, define the fairway on #9, and hopefully make the last two holes a bit friendlier for rec players.

Pros: Interesting course. Well mowed. A few nice opportunities for some very long drives (over 500 and 600 feet).
Cons: A couple of the holes are a little insane. Hole 7 is currently a blind drive over a very large brush pile and hole 9 is well over 400 feet through solid trees.
Other Thoughts: All 18 holes are now in place with distances marked at the tees.
