Pros: Brand new course so it is very nice and well maintained. This course is also on the far west edge of town up on a big hill and is very isolated. It is a very tranquil spot if you are up on the course by yourself or with few others. There are great elevation changes on this course, some up, some down. There are also a good mix of holes in the trees (mainly 1, 2, and 8) and out in the open. This course has two holes (4 and 9) that are teed from the very top of the highest hill, and this is not only a great place to tee off, but a beautiful view of the rolling hills as well. Number 9 will have you wanting to throw every disc you have from the tee as it is a 500' + bomb off of the top of the hill. Gorgeous area and course.
Cons: Tee pads are nice, but could be a little bigger. This is a great area, but there are no restrooms and I believe just one trashcan at the start. It is high on the outer hills so it can become very windy up here at times, making for a frustrating day. Parking and signs are a problem. If you don't know where this course is exactly, then you will not be coming across it. It is located behind business on the west end of town, and there are no signs for the course or parking area at all.
Other Thoughts: Park in the gravel parking area or by the Arby's (as there has been construction at times) if needed. It should be mentioned that you have to walk 1/4 mile or so up the hill on the trails to get to this course. Don't pass this up though, as it is totally worth the bad parking and little hike. This, I believe, is the most fun course in the area.

Report this Review Hike
Pros: Easy to navigate, well maintained, great changes in elevation, very scenic tee boxes, good mixture of short and long. Most flags are protected by elevation or trees. Very challenging course.
Cons: Long hike to get to course, wind tunnels are unpredictable, parking is terrible. Biggest con is only 9 holes.
Other Thoughts: Best 9 holes in manhattan. Very challenging course.

Great Course!!!
Pros: Small course with great challenge (uphills, downhills, right hooks and left hooks). On top of a hill so wind factors in as well. Nice concrete tee pads and signs were clearly marked as well.
Cons: Hole 1 and Hole 2 are in among heavy tree and require some/lots of luck or GREAT accuracy. I did kinda like this challenge but it can really hurt your round fast if you hit a few trees in a row.

It was good exercise
Pros: This course has great views. The teeboxes are concrete and like new. Signage is good and offers a lot of tough elevation challenges you don't get in other courses in the area. The fairways are maintained. Chainstar baskets with bright neon flags. Offers good holes for both right/left hand throwers and backhands/sidearm throws. Picnic area is nice.
Cons: The driving situation and small parking behind the Arby's make for some confusion. The hike up the hill to the course was downright exhausting. I was unfortunate to play after some snow and rain so mud was everywhere. some steps or handrails would be nice. The layout is ok but most of the holes feel like the elevation changes are forced instead of natural.
Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed playing here despite the long hike and redundant elevated baskets and holes. The tree tunnels are no joke it will test your game despite not being long. Not a beginners course in anyway and not a course you play unless you want to get in a good hike as well.
Best course in Manhattan
Pros: Great views, interesting course design, last shot is breathtaking from a good height, and picnic table area looks nice.
Cons: Only nine holes, spent lots of time searching high grass due to elevation and misjudged windy shots, very popular place and crowds up, hole 7 completely out of sequence,
Other Thoughts: This is the most challenging nine hole in town. Couple holes are complete blind shots. This is the rare course where after driving, you'll want to drive again from the same tee.

Warner Park 
Pros: Fun elevation course, shorter up hills and longer down hills, make all holes plausible to hit par. Very secluded, with some tight tree shots. Directions to each tee box's that take you on hiking trails in between.
Cons: No flags on the pins, and some baskets are close to each other, so you don't know which one to throw too (number on basket, but have to walk to it to read it). Short, but quite a bit of walking involved. There is no in between, either a wide open shot, or you are throwing into a mess of trees. Takes more luck than skill on hole one.

Serenity in Manhattan
Pros: Course is clearly marked and the tee pads are nice. The course is very well maintained. No trash and paths are clear. The course is beautiful and has very scenic spots. The holes are really fun because they are very technical. Lots of tree obstacles.
Cons: The course was short, and there is a high probability to lose a disc. There is a bit of a walk to the course, and a lot of car noise from the roads.

Hike from Hell
Pros: Nice views and cliff drives that you can let fly..nice view of town..extremely technical in spots...makes you use parts of your game that don't get used that much
Cons: windy everyday up there...some holes 1,2 and 8 I think should be moved out of the woods
Other Thoughts: I like this course alot but don't play it much as I prefer the other 2 basket courses in manhattan..this course is difficult and technical

Pros: Practice basket near shelter is good for warm up game of horse, there are a couple of trash cans and a shelter here also.
For a nine hole course it offers a good variety of shots and much more elevation change than any other local courses. I get to use a few discs out here that dont get to see much action around town.
Good layout without much confusion between holes and although the park is relatively small, it is easy to keep your disc out of the middle of someone elses game on a bad drive.
Very close to residential area on one side and retail on the other, but it still has a very peaceful feel to it any time of the day.
Update: Brand new concrete teepads, and new course sign!

Cons: Although the Fairways are well kept, a misplaced drive in the rough often times seems to dissappear in the tall grass, however the grass is trimmed in the fall and presents no problem for a large part of the year. Although the short hike from the parking lot to the course is nothing for an average person to sweat over, I think a couple steps on the slippery muddy spots would be helpful.
There are also no restrooms on site, so plan accordingly.

Other Thoughts: Although not particularly impressive or anything to write home about, this course is a lot of fun. If you are looking for something to play while passing through town, I would reccomend Warner Park.

Pros: There are two major down hill shots that are really fun, they are almost "cliff shots". There are also three heavily wooded fairways that are very technical. This course offers a variety of tree and elevation challenges which are unique from other Manhattan, KS courses.
Cons: Small 2 minute hike from the car, BASKETS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM THE NEARBY ROAD. However, it helps build some excitement and it gets you warmed up to play the game.
Other Thoughts: Unlike when this course first opened, the fairways are now mowed on a regular basis. So, if you stopped playing because of the tall grass you may want to give it another go.
