Great course!
Pros: Short! Don't have to take hours to play it, does not wear your arm out. Only need putters and mids...and maybe not even the mids.
Good neighborhood! Don't have to worry about your safety or your car.
Variety! Uphill, downhill, over valleys, over rises, along hillsides, open, through woods, and over and by creeks. Different directions, so wind and sun coming from different ways. Basket to the left, right, and straight ahead.
Challenging! Ability to make different shots needed to score well. Long tees increase the challenge, not just the distance. You can one disc this course fairly easily, but it definitely lowered my score when I did; it is useful to have at least one each of overstable, neutral, and understable discs. Several holes really seemed to me to need a mid, rather than just a putter (1, 5, 14, 17, & 18). At least half the holes I really felt that I accomplished something to get par (3).

Cons: Many of the signs are broken and/or missing. Some tees are not in good shape. A few tees are almost not there, some are not marked, some poorly marked. Some of the tees are very short, not allowing any runup. Some places, even with the map, it is hard to tell where to go next. The baskets are not numbered and don't have flags.
Other Thoughts: Not just a walk in the park, what with the hills it is good exercise.
There are a few trashcans scattered around. No benches, but I am considering this neutral, rather than a con, because of the course being so short.
Sign (at tee 5!) says hours are 4:15 to sunset on school days. Other days either 8 or 9 AM (I don't remember for sure) to sunset. There are some other rules which can be summed up by: There are little kids around, so be courteous and behave yourself.
Watch out for thorns of various sizes in the woods and by the creeks.
If I lived closer to this course I would play it often. If it were not for the sign and directional problems I would rate this a 4.

Pros: Good use of elevation and trees.
Despite the extreme shortness of the course, there are some very good technical shots.
Despite the extreme shortness of the course, there are some very good technical shots.
Cons: There needs to be a course map at the start of the course as there are some holes (mainly the first few holes) that are confusing as to which basket is the correct one to throw at.
I believe they could have put some more distance on the holes. If not, a longer 9 hole course would have been nice instead.

Other Thoughts: It was a nice course to play on the way from Wilbur Young (Blue Springs) to Rosedale.
A Blast for non power players 
Pros: Great techinical course for those of us who are not big throwers. Elevation changes, mandos through the trees, holes hidden behind trees were a challenge that didn't require a 350 foot drive.
Cons: New hole layout for 10, 11, 12 intially difficult to follow, but my son and I figured it out.
Other Thoughts: Can not play while school is in session.
The idea behind the developement of the course is to get kids out and get them some exercise, since the course is built on the elemetary school property.

This is a “Mini-Me” of a Pro Designed Course
Pros: This one was tough to review and this is why. It has many of the things that some really good course have, but on a very short and small scale. The holes are very short on many of the holes even from the long tees. They have done some great thing to this place considering the size and area. This course has woods, wide-open fairways, OB, mandos, elevation, possible water in a little creek like area, some protected pins and a couple doglegs. Many of the holes were fun to play. I enjoyed the double mandos where you had to shoot through a tree with the dual trunks in a big V shape. The wooded holes were really great. It is almost like having a pro course for little kids.
Cons: This course has limited public access due to school. At the time of this review, during school days the course is closed 9am to 4pm. So that basically leaves nights, weekends, holidays, and summer. The holes are very short from the short tees and normal short form the long tees. The long tees were put wherever they could find a spot. You will find many of them on sidewalks and one is even on a basketball court. (see pictures). You could really use a map to find the long tees. One basketball court is within the driving area of hole #14 from the long tee. The chance of hitting someone on #14 long tee should be a concern if people are present. The tee pads are a mix of cement sidewalks, asphalt, gravel, & rubber. There are some nice tee signs, but they are not all up to date as of the time of this review.
Other Thoughts: The Fun Factor here was pretty good. I really enjoyed seeing such a fun design on a small scale. This is in no way a real challenge for the average player, but it was without a doubt enjoyable. It was easy to see why there were so many 3 ratings before mine. If I rated it as a kids only course a 4 would be well deserved. We do not rate course on here as kids or adults only courses. So to give it a 4 or higher would be falsifying how it plays for most people.

Possibly the best for the purpose anywhere 
Pros: Amazing use of great land--hills, woods, open. Tight alleys demand precision, to teach straight throwing. More open holes at the end allow longer drives. For adults, a great midrange/putter workout. Designed for kids, so that's how it should be reviewed.
Cons: Last few holes are sort of crammed in, but still not horrible. Enough to knock it down from a 5 in my book.
Other Thoughts: The use of mandos, doglegs, and the natural lay of the land is amazing. Possibly the best-designed course, relative to intent and land available, I've seen anywhere. I can't imagine what would be better. This is a MUST PLAY course for anyone, you'll leave with a huge smile! DO NOT TAKE ALCOHOL OR OTHER RECREATIONAL SUBSTANCES ON THIS COURSE. And, PICK UP YOUR TRASH!! But, most of all, have fun with your midrange.

A Great Little Course Pros: Challenging shots even though they are short.
Course is clean and well taken care of.

Other Thoughts: This is a quick course that provides a challenge for even skilled players. Even though the holes are not long enough to do some serious driving it provides great upshot practice and a chance to put away that driver and take out your favorite mid-range disc.
I would give this course a rating of 5 for kids and beginning players.

How sweet to have disc golf for PE class!

This review was updated on 5/27/2011
Pros:
Course Level: Green (most suited for kids, short throwers, and players rated 775-825.)
This is an excellent Green level course. The course was mainly built for school kids, so it's most appropriate for them, and it excels for that group. This means, though, that most experienced adult males will find the course way too short, especially from the short tees.
Note: This course was hard to rate. This is the highest rating I've given to a Green level course. If I only rated this course by how enjoyable it is for the intended player level then it would easily be rated a 5. But for consistency in my rating system I consider challenge for an adult male to be an integral part of my rating, so my highest ratings are reserved for more challenging courses, and Green level courses are rated lower.
This is the best 18 hole Green level course that I've ever played! Most Green level courses are only 9 holes anyway. I saw a dad out with his 10 year old daughter and I thought that's what this course is all about. They've put in a great deal of care into the design and a lot of work and resources into the course.
Nice elevation changes! 9 are up and 9 are down. The maximum changes vary from 22 ft down to 21 ft up.
There's a good mix of wooded mixed, and open holes. (Long = 7 Wooded/ 2 Open/ 9 Mixed)
Two sets of tees on 7 holes. The longer tees give more challenge to more experienced players.
Cement Tees.
Tee signs are very good, with lengths and pictures of the holes.
Map- Online aerial map is very helpful.
There's a practice basket near 18's basket, so if no one is on hole 18 you can throw back and forth between them.

Other Thoughts:
My favorite hole: 6. Downhill through a tree lined fairway to an excellent green with a creek in front of it.
-By design all of the holes are short. The short tees are 17 of 98-145 ft/ 1 of 176 ft. The long tees are range from 108 to 245 ft with 12 holes in the 100-150 ft range.
-I got a kick out of a 145 ft par 4 hole.
-The school stipulated that holes 12-18 had to be more open so that they could monitor kids in PE classes. (I sure wish that I could've played disc golf during PE in elementary school!)
-Understandably, the course is closed during school hours: M-F 8 am - 4:15 pm
If you know a kid that wants to learn disc golf then by all means take them here. Even if you're an adult who is new to the game, you can still hone your game and learn the fundamentals on an easier, shorter course. I wish that my area had a Green level course like this where my kids could have learned the game on a course designed for them. John Theiss is to be highly commended for designing this great addition to the KC plethora of fine courses!
A note about my rating: My rating is a subjective measure of my enjoyment of the course, on the day I played it, and it is NOT intended to be a measure of the quality of the course. My Enjoyment Ratings are given "on the curve" in relation to all other courses I've played.

Other Thoughts: The reson I rated this kinda high for a short, little course is because it is well laid out given the space to work with...they were able to make it as fun and challenging as possible.
I've been to some courses in similiar settings that have been totally redundant and boring compared to this one.
Unfortunately, this course is "competing" with some awesome courses in the KC Metro area, so if I lived around there I would prefer to make the drive to some of the others...but if I had a restricted time schedule and just wanted to have some fun threading the needle...this course would fit the bill
