Pros: Some easy to par/ birdie shots on the front 9 back 9 gets challenging with long, wooded drives. Hole 15 over the pond is a great place to lose a disc. Some good holes to work on straight shots. Good use of trees.
Cons: The long walk form 16-17. A lot of small stumps on back 9 wooded fairways. A lot of mud since it was wet from snow.
Other Thoughts: I now live a 90 second walk from my front door to tee one so its great for me. I can pop out any time a go play. Seems to be a good place to work on your game or just have fun with my kids.

The best course in Olathe

Pros: A whole variety of holes. From shorter birdie opportunities, to ridiculously long par 4's through the forest. There is a hole where water comes into play, a hole where you have to shoot onto an island surrounded by cement, and one where you shoot through a field of young trees. A variety of shots is needed, and coming out of the back nine even is a challange.
Well maintained course, has very good signage, including pin placement, distance, and hole number. There are also other amenities, such as good teepads (multiple teepads on 5 holes) benches on most holes, bathrooms on sight, practice basket, trashcans, and picnic shelters.
Cons: A few holes come into contact with the soccer fields, and on a Sunday there are quite a few spectators, to the point where if you want to play 11 and 12 you'll have to ignore the teebox and just kind of drop in the fairway to avoid hitting anybody.
Other Thoughts: I would reccomend bringing some old beat up plastic if you are going to try throwing over the water.
There are people who enjoy the herb while playing, but I've seen cops driving through every once in a while, which seems to curb that.

Love the course, minus a few holes...

Pros: Variety of Distances
Variety of Holes
Lots of elevation change
Memorable Holes (2)
Decent Length Course
Cons: Two incredibly hard holes.
Annoying water hazard.
Few Birdie Opportunities.
Lots of ticks.
Other Thoughts: Overall, this is an excellent course. It plays very well with a lot of hyzer and anhyzer opportunities. There are a lot of holes that are very easy to bogie or double-bogie and not very many that are easy to birdie.

Hole 12 and Hole 13 are just awful. I do like the variation in that they go through the woods, but it's a lot easier to lose discs here (Not to mention they're over 500 and 600 feet, respectively). That means that you'd have to throw two stellar drives in a row. Drives that would have to be thrown with pinpoint precision, a feat most of us can't accomplish consistently.

Hole 2 here is my favorite. Its a reasonable distance with a nice island type green in the middle of a cul de sac type road. It's always fun to try and land it on the island off the drive.

Overall, great course. Plenty of variety, and if it weren't for the two long ones through the woods, I'd love it even more.

Pros: First 8 holes and 16-18
- Holes have varying length, and alternate hole positions provide new spins on the holes, making some birdieable or even aceable in some cases, while longer hole positions make par rare.
-Not the easiest to find baskets from the tee, but navigation is generally pretty intuitive
-Lots of different shots are required
-Multiple options for what shots to play on several holes
-4 holes have multiple tees, as a convert from ball golf, where every course has at least 2, and usually 3 or 4 sets of tees, I still don't understand why more courses don't do this.
-Very well maintained, grass is regularly mown and baskets are moved frequently
-A few benches throughout
-What elevation there is is used well

holes 9-15
-A unique challenge
-Many different shots required
-Some long and some technical shots
-A few benches
Cons: First 8 holes and 16-18
- many holes are pretty flat on the front 8
- discs have a tendency to get stuck in trees
- holes 2 and 4 come back to about the same area, and the hole position on the island is even shared.
- some holes should probably be par 4's when in the back spot, especially hole 7

holes 9-15
- lots of ticks and hitchhikers
- very easy to lose discs
-signage confusing since several holes were redone but the signs weren't. For example, basket 10 says "11" on it and several others have the same thing
- many holes feel crammed in, especially 9-12.
- Trees on 9 are growing and make it nearly impossible to see where the discs come down
- Most baskets can't be seen from tees, which makes it very difficult the first time
Other Thoughts: first 8 and 16-18 I'd give a 3.5 rating
no large forested hazards, but lots of individual trees
holes 9-15 a 1.5 rating
many dense forests and waist/knee high grass and a big lake.
Most of the time I play 1-10 and skip over to 17, or maybe 1-8 and skip up to 18.

Pros: -Lots of mature trees
-Good signage
Cons: -Multipurpose park
-Front 9 is just the same throw over and over again; straight and through or around trees.
-15 is just sort of a joke. Even people with 350+ range and control are going to go into the water due to the sheer smallness of the target and the other option is take 4+ strokes to go around. I view this as a con, not a fun challenge
-Baskets are old and rusted
-Fairways too tight on front 9
Other Thoughts: Front 9 is like playing in an apple orchard. Also lots of opportunities to lose discs on back 9 which can be a pain in the ass. Walks are long and confusing at times but anyone with intuition or a camera phone can figure it out easily.

Pros: A very challenging course. No one hole is the same. You will have the chance every hole to do something different. Course is clean, but with lots and lots of brush on the back 9, and a lake. Bring your water shoes.
Cons: Recent changes to 13 and 15 have made getting par almost impossible. 13 is a long, narrow (I mean narrow) fare-way with heavy brush on either side. 15, you have to have an arm to throw across the middle of the lake, or you can try going around (the better option I think).
Other Thoughts: They really need to change hole 13 and 15 to a par 4. It's incredibly tough. However, I would call myself an intermediate player, so my view point is probably skewed and I just need to keep on working at it. Oh, and bring tick spray for 13 and 14, used to be all backwoods with a lot of deer going through there, so it's tick infested (and thorn infested).

Good Scoring course

1    3/7/2012   3/8/2012
Review By: asjzn6
Played: 93  Reviewed: 44  Exp: 7.7 Years
Pros: Teepads- Good Dual on a few holes
Baskets-Discatchers yellow basket and strip
Signs-good and informative
Benches-small benches each hole
trashcans-not many probably a con
Course was fun with lots of intricate shots 1-8. Island hole was cool tough to land on island. Dual teepads allows for a pro set up.
New holes are nice. Hole 13 cool par 4 in woods. New teepad on 15 didnt play but very risky shot across lake.
Cons: Front nine lots of switchback holes to take advantage of small space, but kinda crowded. Walk from 10 to 11 sucks i got lucky some locals told direction. walk from 16 to 17 even worse except you saw 17 as you played front nine just cuts up flow quite a bit.
Other Thoughts: The new stuff seemed to really add character to this course. Mad job on who ever cut out hole 13 excellent par 4.

 Great KC Course

Pros: Great use of trees to create tunnels and challenging fairways. Well maintained pads, signs, and baskets. Easy parking and access. Multiple pin placements allow for radically different play with each basket movement. This course encourages a variety of shot selection for any player; rollers, tomahawks, and forehand shots will be necessary to maximize your score on this course. Open prairie, an old xmas tree orchard, a lake, and ball fields all work together to keep this one interesting.
Cons: It plays slow on the front nine due to shorter layouts and hard-to-avoid trees, but speeds up on the back nine. Restrooms are onsite but rarely open, and water fountains never work.
Other Thoughts: Tee #12 is hard to find; just walk along the ball field fence due west from #11 basket. Saturdays are full of soccer players, so watch for them on the fringes near 10, 11, 12, 16. Try playing with a putter on the front 4; you wont get long drives anyway, so get straight ones.

Pros: Great disc golf park with restrooms by hole 1. Trash cans and benches on most holes. Multiple pin placements and some holes have two pads( 2,6,8,15, and 1- old school tee pad on the southwest corner of playground). When 2 is on island that is signature hole. Nice tunnel shot with ob path on hole 3. If youre down for a quicky then skip from hole 10 right to 17 ( right across the road). Hole 12-15 were changed in early 2012. Both of 12s pins are past the tree line in the woods. Hole 13 is a 600 footer and the only par 4. Hole 14 is an uphill anny that plays to same baskets as the old hole 13. Hole 15 plays the left pad when straight across straight pond (275ish to clear the water) and right pad for the other 2 baskets. Hole 16 is a nice ace run when in left position. Ya better be 3 or 4 down by hole 12 if you wanna stay even par or under.
Cons: Get the bug spray with a good amount of deet and hose yourself on hole 12. Hole 13 and 14 yield alot of ticks. Have a softball or water jug in case discs get stuck in pine trees. Signs on holes 12-15 need to be updated. These holes are new and will probably get some more pin locations and maybe another pad on 13 so give the signs some patience.
Other Thoughts: Monday night minis in summer and glow dubs in winter. Ram n Salmon tourny in spring. Old Settlers Open tourny in the fall. If you can shoot under par on this course, youre a good playa.
