Top 10 Favorite Holes in Kansas

Post by the_lung »

Courses played:
  • Jones Park East, Emporia
  • Jones Park West, Emporia
  • Peter Pan Park, Emporia
  • Thomas Park, Salina
  • Camp Hawk, Newton
  • Oak Park, Wichita
  • Herman Hill Park, Wichita
  • The Canyon, Winfield
My favorite holes of the courses I played, in no particular order:
  • Jones Park East, Hole#2: A narrow 650-ft. downhill pro par four hole
  • Jones Park East, Hole#6: A tricky pro par four hole which requires an approach through a keyhole between trees and over a creek
  • Jones Park West, Hole#17 B Pin: A 650-ft. pro par four hole with an approach through a narrow gap in trees and over a pond inlet
  • Jones Park West, Hole#18: A downhill 350 ft. par 3 with a pond hazard on the right
  • Peter Pan Park, Hole#4: A challenging pro par four which plays to a basket on a peninsula surrounded by a creek
  • Oak Park, Hole#18: A forced carry of about 275 feet over a pond
  • The Canyon, Hole#? Drives straight up a canyon wall with a vertical rise of about 35-40 feet
  • Herman Hill Park, Hole#6 B Pin: A 700-ft. pro par four with the Arkansas River lining the entire left side
  • Thomas Park, Hole#13: Plays across an enormous drainage ditch with a very deceiving drive
  • Camp Hawk, Hole#23: Plays to a basket on a peninsula jutting out into a pond, that gets more narrow the closer one gets to the polehole

Good call on hole 18 at Oak.In 18 years of playing discgolf,this hole has cost players more money than any other I`ve seen.Unusual over water pike shot.
When you have to choose between your woman and discgolf,don`t be stupid-choose the discgolf.

4- Newton hole # 22
5- Wyco hole # 3

Re: WyCo - Hole #7 original pin and #14 across the pond are 2 great tests...the former being a tough 3 & the latter being my fave in KC with a possible 2.

Two of my favorite Kansas holes are at frontier park. Hole 5, and 10, both original. Ten is the one before the stepping stones, right?

I drove up to Salina, stuffy head, runny sinuses and all to finally check out Thomas today. The middle six holes there I could play all day, especially 10 and 11.
