I took the opportunity to play the new 9 hole course in Garden Plain yesterday. You’ll find it in a city park on the east side of town just south of the elementary school. If you come in off Highway 54, stay on that road, Section Line Road, and you’ll see it on your left. The parking lot is just south of the tennis courts.
Like most smaller town parks, this one has a variety of uses. There are tennis courts, a kids playground, a basketball court, some horseshoe pits and some picnic tables with gazebos along with the disc course. Tee one is on the NW corner of the basketball courts.
The tees are marked with two landscaping stones buried and painted yellow. One has the hole number and one has the distance. The baskets are nice white Patriot baskets by Dynamic Discs.
It is a beginner course in my mind. There are four holes between 181 and 205 feet, four holes between 230 and 260 feet and one just over 300 feet. There is only one hole (7) that is close to being wide open. The rest all have trees/obstacles involved. It is pretty much a mid/putter course for experienced players. I did play a few holes with a gentleman from the area who hadn’t played since 1983 and was just picking it back up again because the course was close. Hopefully this course will bring more people into the sport.
While I wouldn’t travel any distance to play it, living on the west side of Wichita I’ll being going back once-in-a-while to enjoy the course and work on my short game. If you're driving by and want to stretch the legs and arms it would be a quick fun round.
