Pros: Nice little course set in a beautiful park, located in a killer town...Parkville.
This course is a confidence builder and is a perfect course for beginners, or for those that are trying to tighten up their short game.

Cons: Most reviews for this course emphasize the fact that it is a VERY busy park, which is true, but I did not have to stop for pedestrians at any point while playing. The park is completely flat & not that challenging, but that did not bother me. I guess my only real complaint would be the teeboxes. It consists of a toeboard and VERY worn-out grounding. Footing is definitely an issue when teeing off.
Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed this little couse. It's an awesome park set next to the Missouri river. It will improve anyones short/putting game, which I need desperately. I will be playing this course on a regular basis.

Report this Review Look at all the little lakes, umm I mean fairway puddles. 
Pros: This is a flat course with a simple layout to follow along with. Play the left side of the little creek (about 5 feet wide) that runs through the park heading on the first part of the course and then back on the right side. Tee #1 is on the cement slab, behind the shed on the left when crossing the first walking bridge from the parking lot. The baskets are in pretty good shape. There are a few old trees that can make you choose a route on a few of the holes.
Cons: The dirt tees have a wood plank marking the front of the tees. These dirt "pads" are quite a mess and worn in. The walk from #9 basket to #1 tee is farther than it should be for a 9-hole course. This is a very busy place, so watch out for people, as they were everywhere, even walking through the course. Most of the holes are a straight drive and wide open, which keeps it simple. The course is really flat and does not drain well. There was standing water in fairways throughout the course even though other parts of the park were completely dry.
Other Thoughts: This is a great starter course for people learning to play the game. The Fun Factor is nil here. The few trees that force you to pick a route is enough to make it Ok the first time through. This is certainly not worth a road trip.

Not what it could be 
Pros: Decent course for rec players with little chance of losing discs. If you're with newbies this would be a good place to introduce them. Holes have good length unlike a lot of small town nine holers I see. Good quality DGA baskets. Flow is easy to follow even with the lack of a map or tee markers.
Cons: Hands down some of the most awful excuses for tees I've ever seen. They're constructed of a dirt box with timbers at the front. No chance of following through on them as you'll trip if you try. On top of that, they're deteriorating. Until I recognized by the pattern of the course that they were teeboxes, I had ignored them thinking they were a horseshoe pit or something. Park is flat and seems to hold water in the center for several days after a rain. This impacts the last seven holes. Walking path around the park is very busy with pedestrians and most of the holes cut too close to this. Definitely watch before you throw.
Other Thoughts: English Landing is kind of conundrum course for me. In one respect you ponder why it couldn't have been designed better as there is acreage aplenty for a decent nine holer here, and yet considering the walking path you wonder if it should have been installed at all. Most of the park's more formidable trees line the walking path, and when weighing challenge versus safety, the designer wisely chose safety, even though it kind of neuters the course.
Not really worth the time and gas to specifically play this, but downtown Parkville right next door is cool, and the walking path is worth a stroll. If you're in the area and want to get some discing in, its there for the playing.

Pros: There are a few holes where you can let it go.
I honestly can't think of many more positive things about this course.

Cons: Probably the worst course I have ever played. Trash everywhere along with every hole being muddy.
There are no tee pads just a piece of wood you must shoot behind.
people everywhere. so you have to wait and throw sometimes.
This place is bascally a park where someone added a few disc golf baskets, and now it is way to crowded.

Other Thoughts: #1 tee is by the basketball court, then it's pretty simple after that
Like I said, if you can avoid it, then please do. There are a lot better courses in the area that you will enjoy a lot more than this one. But EL does have decent baskets for the quality of the course

Great Practice Course!
Pros: Extremely fun to play. Terrain is not very challenging, but some holes have decent length. An average player should be able to par almost everything. This is a great course to learn or to practice on. It provides the freedom to really let the disc rip. Tee locations are well marked and easy to find. Baskets are in great condition.
Cons: Not very challenging. There are quite a few non disc golfers around.
Other Thoughts: This is located right next to a neat little town, Parkville. I would recommend this course to anyone. It is where I learned to play, and I have fun every time I am out there.

Quick and Open Pros: As everyone before me has stated, lots of people walking/running/riding, so good for people watching. Very cool playing along the river. Several holes that you can really "let your arm go" on without fear of losing discs. Quick and easy.
Cons: Very wet and very muddy all 4 times I have played this course. Trash everywhere. Hard to find the 1st tee and tricky to navigate due to the odd setup. Very flat, very open.
Other Thoughts: The first tee is painted on the corner of the basketball course, behind the restrooms.****

Go enjoy a nice day in the park...
Pros: Beautiful location along the river with lots of other people out enjoying the park. There is playground equipment so it's a great place to go play a short round with the kids.
Cons: Gets sloppy after rain and takes awhile to dry out. Difficult to locate the position of the next tee pad if you aren't familiar with teh course.
Other Thoughts: There is some new trees planted on the course that will add some challenge as they mature.

It really exists?
Pros: Nice park setting along the Missouri river, with only a few trees to contend with. Distance on the 4,5,6 makes it a little more than a pitch and putt course. Lots of walkers, runners, and dog walkers on the track that circles the course makes it good for people watching.
Cons: Flat course, with few trees didn't present much challenge. Fixed tees and fixed baskets, the tees were dirt because the grass was worn out. I played after a rain and the tees were unusable
Other Thoughts: Hey, it's close to a lot people in Kansas City and is quick and easy to play. I had heard rumors of a course in the park but never believed it.
