Other Thoughts:

We played this after GBO was over, based on all the rave reviews we saw in the GBO app and overheard at various GBO events. It did not disappoint.

This is a lovely course set in rolling hills about 30 minutes outside of Emporia. It is absolutely worth the drive. We've played many hilly courses that consist of a downhill hole (fun!) followed by an uphill hole (not fun!) and this course avoids that problem. Yes there are some uphill shots but they never felt insurmountable, even as rec players, and there are only a few that really felt *uphill*.

The tees are all marked and while there are no "next tee" signs the paths are clear enough you don't really need them.

There's enough water around the property to make things interesting. As long as you control your distances and don't totally shank your shot you can play a round without losing any. Of course I shanked a shot and lost one. Doh :)

There are some spots where green access is only available by scrambling down an embankment. Some rock stairs would be useful. Also there are enough "off road" climbs to get to baskets that a Zuca cart will have trouble. This is probably a course to leave the cart in the car.

Definitely recommended. If you're in Emporia to play disc golf this course is easily worth the drive and the $10 fee.
