Stange's Little Sister

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 21, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- same general equpiment as Stange's Park across the street
- durable baskets that catch well
- full color tee signs with basic maps but no distances
- well maintained park with restrooms
- course mostly stays away from the playground well
- water hazards on all 3 holes

Cons:

- natural tees
- very short and only 3 holes
- nothing particularly special here, flat and pretty open

Other Thoughts:

Kitchenette Park is more or less the continuation of the 6 holes at Stange's Park and probably only takes another 10 minutes to play. If you for some reason only have time for one of the courses, Stange's Park is much more fun. This course is very basic, flat, and open. However, they do play near the Prairie River on all 3 holes, so there is some risk here to keep you honest.

While Stange's Park is the highlight, the 3 holes here are about as good as they could be with the space available. I'm honestly surprised how highly I ended up thinking of these little 6 and 3 hole courses. Merrill did a pretty nice job with these.

This one didn't concern me with safety quite as much as Stange's Park. You generally are playing around the perimeter of the park. The water hazards are here, but not as risky as Stange's. I believe you can take the pedestrian bridge over the Prairie River in Stange's Park if you want to walk to Kitchenette, or you can drive.

Having restrooms at this park is also nice if you are road tripping like I was. They were clean and well maintained. Overall, this is a nice park where the disc golf isn't anything particularly special, but it's a fun 10 minutes of pitch and putt and one more to add to your bagging list.

Pros:

To start things off, I'm giving this course a 2.5 rating based on playing this and Stange's park across the street as a single 9 hole course scorewise. If you're playing here you'd be wise to do so as well. That's clearly the intention here even though it technically is 2 different parks. With that being said I'll get started. The 9 hole combo here is a fun play. It's definitely on the short side and very beginner friendly. As far as Kitchenette it's only 3 holes. It's probably best to start at Stange's hole 1 and play through 5 then head over the road to play the 3 Kitchenette holes and head back to play Stange's hole 6. That seemed to make the most sense to me anyway. Anyway, the baskets are Kingpins that are all in great shape and catch great. The tees are natural with a wood marker serving as the front of the tee area. These were all level and serve their purpose just fine. The course is permanent and free to play. Probably never really busy either. There is a nice course map at the start of each course. The tee signs are very informative with a pretty detailed hole map, hole # and par.

Cons:

The main con on this 9 hole set up between 2 parks is that the distances are mostly on the short to really short side. This will not challenge even moderately skilled players. As was the case when we were there both courses have water retention/flooding issues being so close to the river. Errant shots can lead to lost discs as well but do ad to the challenge here.

Other Thoughts:

All in all this played as a 9 hole set up is a pretty quick, fun round. This is nothing to go any distance out of your way to play but if you're nearby it's a quick play. This was the weirdest review I can remember writing with it really being one 9 hole course. But as I stated earlier I give it a 2.5 based on the 9 hole concept.
