Pros:

Nice recreational course at a Salvation Army retreat camp inside a north Wichita neighborhood. Well maintained grounds. Great for introducing new players and for taking the kids out who might find a more standard layout with more formidable hazards too intimidating. Two tees on each hole allow for variety, although seasoned players aren't going to have much difficulty from either set. Enough trees on many of the holes to keep you honest.

Cons:

Advanced and above level players will find this layout a bit on the underwhelming side as there are no holes over 400'. A few safety issues with picnic tables, the camp amphitheater, roads and other holes baskets in the line of fire. Course is likely not playable by the public if there are activities at the camp. Natural tees are showing rutting from use and need to be regraded.

Other Thoughts:

Kind of a pleasant surprise. They were obviously going for the youth and family players here and in making a layout that is challenging for those type of players they succeeded. Really, this sort of course was much needed in metro Wichita as the lengths and hazards at Oak and Herman are too much for new players and kids to handle. I did happen to notice that the camp had some more land available in the woods to the south and east. Expansion to 18 someday?
