Other Thoughts:
In the past this course has only been set up for tournaments. Apparently the locals got the city to have the course be installed for the winter months when the park is not so busy.
This is my kind of course. Nice, very large, old growth trees. Old park next to the Emporia Zoo. The course is not that long, most of the holes are reachable for most players.
You will have to have a map to find your way around. It gets confusing in spots. The park is actually very small with 9 holes crowded into it. There is no way this course could be open in the summer months, the park would be too busy.
Most of the holes can be played with a righty hyzer, but some of the better lines are turnovers or straight shots. For this the course is pretty good.
I enjoyed my round and there were several other golfers out when I was playing on a Thursday evening.
Would I play here again? Actually I would. It's a fun little course to play. Would be good to bring new players out because there really isn't any spots to get into too much trouble and the holes are not too long. Keep an eye out for if and when the course is back in the ground next winter, it's worth a stop.
