Such a fun course. Yes its a 9 hole course but they have an 18 layout. They make great use of doubling up on tee pad shots to make the 18 hole course and have different shots. Its not a super difficult short but by no means is it an easy course. Highly recommend playing this course on either layout.

A little confusing the first time there but if you follow udisc it all works out.

I really liked how they didn't quite have the room for 18 but still made a completely viable 18 out of 9.

It is worth the trip if you live in a 25-30 mile radius of Joplin, but it is only a 9 hole course. None of the holes are exceptionally difficult, but it is a solid course considering it is on church property.

Only 9 holes. There was some litter on the course. Would be nice if the golfers would clean up after themselves or if the church would organize a trash clean up.

Even though I played the little Calvary Chapel course is less than ideal conditions, I was really impressed just about everything. The course starts out near the front of the church. You have a practice basket here. The red Monkey Trap baskets are gorgeous. The tee signs are good giving you all the information you need. The concrete tee pads are long and grippy. The course loops back to the beginning and has a nice combination of hole types, long and open, wooded and one playing over a lake. This is not a beginner course but is a solid recreational level.
# 1 plays 330' up to a basket set just inside the wooded area. # 2 is the hole playing over the small lake. The sign says the hole is 227' making the water carry somewhere between 180' and 200' but a player can easily play very safe by staying right skirting around the lake. # 3 is a fun little 156' downhill shot through the trees. 4 is about 200' slightly uphill to a basket set in the trees. # 5 is straight ahead across a pretty valley 285'. # 6 is a blind 375' slightly uphill. # 7 is 235' and the basket is set behind a small bush. 8 is 267' over a hill and # 9 is a longer 340' (according to the sign) wide open throw. The distances on the tee signs did not match up with the on-line map distances which were much longer. I believe the longer distances were probably more current.

After being so impressed with this course, I was pretty disappointed with the final hole. It's obviously designed to loop back but ends up being just a 400' open thrown across the grass.
The distances listed on the tee signs and my on-line map were quite different, sometimes as much as 60'. The on-line map seems to be more current.
Good chance for casual players to lose a disc in the murky lake on hole 2.

Great amenities and lots of fun all with a welcoming attitude from the church. Nice course to come and play if you are a rec player and maybe up to intermediate level although intermediate players will shoot way under par. Not totally bad for beginners as long as you can thrown around the lake. Lots of lovely green grass, plenty of trees and some gently rolling hills all come together to make for a fun, enjoyable experience, although it's a bit overrated for a 9-hole course at 3.5. I liked it a lot but it's basically an average course - 2.5.

Fun birdie/ace run course. Mix of throws, some elevation and opsticles.

Hole 5 has a new location not on the tee sign. Instead of down and to the right it is straight.
Hole 9 it is a little confusing which is practice and which is 9's basket. But I guess you could play to either.

Thank you for letting us play on your course. Beautiful property.

Long, roughed up concrete pads, new high-Viz red monkey trap baskets, # 2throws over a lake, good use of trees to create hyzer and ani lines, and hilly 3-7...beautiful 9 hole course!Not a Newbie church course. No tree jails.

No signs yet. Had trouble finding tee pad for 9 and #6 basket. I would have rated this a "4" if it had informative signs.

high Fun Factor here. Well-designed 9 that has potential to be an 18 if owner wanted to install alternate grass tee boxes.
