Across Highway 9 and the railroad tracks from Park University sits a well-used course with some improvements made that add a lot of value to a stop here.

The park is flat, but the mature trees trees make up for that in a big way. Guarding greens of 1, 5, 6, and 7 are some low branched trees and getting around wispy branches of 4 or the large trunk of 8 are challenges beyond the normal city park 9-hole.

Length is actually challenging! Hole 3 is a 425ft yoke that has a tree right in the line about 3/4 of the way to the pin giving a definite shape to the hole. Hole 5's drive is a full-power placement shot which needs to be placed at the mouth of the hallway of trees that make up the second half of the 700'+ hole. Hole 8 has two mighty tree trunks to get around and still put up 440ft of distance.

The removal of old holes 1 and 9 cleared up some overlap with other park features (the basketball and volleyball courts) and gave us the incredible new holes 5 and 6!

The views down to the river are quite nice, as is the small town and college campus around the park. I don't get caught up in the scenery of a course very often, but this is one of the few that gets to my cold heart.

The course equipment. Some tees are concrete, but the tees that are crushed rock are used to the point that it's probably safer to tee from the side of them. The baskets are older MachII models, and the age is apprent. Tee signs exist for most holes, but the first four are off (showing 2-5 for 1-4) due to the new holes.

This is a popular park, and walking paths border almost every hole. Along with this. the walk from the parking lot isn't the shortest. The first tee is just left of the gate for the volleyball court parking (closed both times I've been there).

While the holes aren't "bad" there are a few that are very open (2, 3, and 9) that bring the challenge factor down a little. Pick up your deuces where you can, though. The overall flatness of the park isn't necessarily a massive "con," more like an "unfortunate limitation."

The train passing through every 10 minutes can get annoying if you're enjoying a peaceful round.

English Landing is worth a stop if you have the opportunity! An older course (installed 2006), any player should appreciate the challenging stretch from 4 to 7. Know you're not getting a top-end experience, but an above-average experience at a city park 9-hole is always a stop worth making in my book.

The English Landing Park in Parkville, Missouri is a fairly large park with ballfields, basketball courts, picnic areas, jogging trails and much more. The course starts near the restrooms and plays, I think, five holes out before the final four holes end up near the starting point. The tee pads are a crushed rock material with a semi-octagon shaped border. Each tee pad was puddled today after the previous showers. It was just a minor inconvenience. The small metal signs are good giving you the distance, par and hole #, as well as a colored map. As simple and straightforward as this course is, the map isn't really a necessity. The baskets are the DGA models with the always hard to read numbers.

There is a nice variety of distances here ranging from 198' up to 442'. The course is flat so a few scattered trees provide the only obstacles you'll have to deal with. Basically if you can manage to avoid a tree or two on each hole, you can score well here. There is almost no where to get into trouble on this course. It would have to be quite a gridlock to reach the Missouri.

I can't really pinpoint a signature hole. They're all pretty similar. This course is pretty well set up for beginners and the recreational, recreation player. Probably that's why I liked it so much.

Crushed rock tee pads puddle after rain.

Not much in the way of challenge here. Just a few trees to harass you.

Flat.

No signature holes.

On one side of the course are the railroad tracks. Three long freight trains passed by just during my 35 minute round.

On the opposite side, the mighty Missouri River quietly flows by like some kind of aquatic, stealth serpent. So large and yet so quiet and peaceful. In my dreams, I could throw my driver across to the other side.

I liked this course a lot. It just kinda jelled with my pathetic game. If I were to rate this course just for my own personal enjoyment, I could give it a 3.0 or maybe even a 3.5. But because someone I know might read this and judge me thusly, I'll tone down my exuberance and reward it a more pedestrian like 2.5.

This is a nice quick 9 hole course for folks that live in the area. I wouldn't classify it as destination course, but if you happen to be at the park or in the area it isn't bad. It is kind of neat that it is so close to the Missouri River.

There is not a lot of imagination to the layout. Each hole is pretty much just straight away from the tee boxes. The tee boxes are not concrete but more of a dirt/pea gravel held in by some wood. I didn't actually hate the tee boxes and think it would be something that could be incorporated to other courses where cost or location would make concrete tees not feasible. The course plays through a park that has lots of joggers so you need to be mindful of other people using the area. It doesn't have any signs to give you distances and there isn't much for benches on the course. In a lot of ways it seems like the course was put in and then people moved on to other things and haven't really tried to enhance it. There are no signature holes.

It is close to downtown Parkville which is a pretty cool city with a nice farmers market, some cool looking bars and a decent guitar star as I recall.

This is a nicely kept park that offers a nice scenic view of the river. There are other amenities here like a playground, restrooms, and a basketball court.
Rounds will play quickly here. This is a park style golf course for sure.
Hole observations:
1-plays L to R
2-straight with trees to shape your shot, my favorite hole here
3-straight with the basket in the open
4-moderate length with young trees upon approach
5-mostly open
6-straight shot with young trees
7-moderate length shot that is straight
8-straight shot
9-wide open shot

There isn't any signage here and the tees are odd. Some are framed by small boards and the box is very narrow. On one hole they put a cement/tile piece and piled dirt around it??? It was odd for sure.
Some of the nickels are facing the opposite direction of the tee.
Couldn't find 1's tee. Wind will be a factor during your round here as most of the course is out in the open.
A lengthy walk from 4's basket to 5's tee slows the flow down and the walk from 9's basket to your car is rather lengthy as well.
No elevation change.

This is a very beginner friendly park style course. Disc loss should be very minimal here. It appears that some trees have been planted on holes 4 and 6 and as they mature it will help to provide a challenge here.
This is a good place for the family to spend the day outside together and enjoy the course or the other amenities that are offered here.
A more experienced player may want to skip this course as it might be too boring. For a newer player to the sport this course is a good place to start and learn the game.
Not a must play course by any stretch of the imagination but its good that entry level courses like this are out there.

Intuitive flow after we figured out the first hole
Good way to test your drive, being so wide open.
Baskets are well maintained.
Nice scenery with people out everywhere

Tee boxes are in bad shape. Hole #7 even was sloped backwards with gravel and made a run up near impossible
Same old, same old after hole #3

Wife played for the first time and seemed to enjoy it. I made sure to let her know this was not a typical course.
Had fun and we were both impressed with how much activity was going on in this park.
Saw a couple playing on our way in and and a pair of guys just started when we finished. So for a Saturday, it was nice and slow.

Nice scenery along the river and cool tall trees on the course. Contains mostly wide open shots, great for beginners (no way to lose discs). The layout is pretty easy to follow. Great for a quick practice course.

Tee boxes are worthless. No maps, signage, bag holders, benches, or elevation change on course. Only 9 holes.

The park could totally upgrade the tee boxes and signage and it would really improve the course. They could also add a couple more baskets at the east tail end of the park through the trees and it would add some technical shots.

Old, mature trees along the Missouri river. Neat multi-use park.

While I would not drive a significant amount out of the way to play, if I was within 20 minutes I would make a point to stop by.

Great place to teach people how to play DG.

There are no signs, etc. However, it is pretty intuitive where you go next. It would not be if there was snow on the ground.

The flow of the park pretty much goes out and back.

When I was here on a Friday lunch hour, there was a surprisingly lot of people. Lots of runners, children playing, people flying kites. It gave you a nice feeling to be outside.
