Kudos to City of Raytown Parks & Rec 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 25, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

+easy, intuitive layout going from one hole to the next
+nice tee signs with hole descriptions (only missing a map)
+well designed. the holes made great use of the available space
+small creek offering water hazards and some hills offering elevation made for lots of fun
+well maintained multi-use city park

Cons:

-no concrete tee pads
-for 9 holes you have to travel between two parks that sit about half mile apart
-small parks with several other activities could make for slow rounds on busy days
-no course map which would greatly help to inform players of the two park system

Other Thoughts:

I have played other small city park courses before and this course is one of the best out there. The trouble going between two parks for only 9 holes is offset by the diversity of challenges and layout of the course.

This course will never be a championship 18 hole course and it doesn't need to be. These two parks have basketball courts, tennis courts, walking trails, playgrounds, and a disc golf course. The city wouldn't want this to be the best course in around because other activities would have to go. But the city did a great job making this a course they can and should be proud of.
