I drove into Clay Center from the west and found the park ‘sunken’ on the south side of the road. There was a little road that went down into the park and I took it seeing baskets. I parked and got out and found it to be basket 7. As I looked around, I saw a couple of other baskets but also saw some serious water park construction and begin to wonder how much of the course was still in place. I found baskets 3-8 and decided to play those and see what happens.
I couldn’t find a map, sign or tee markers so I played safari style starting at basket 3. After looking around I took a mid and putter which was plenty. It was a short course with basket 3 on top and the rest were down in a lower area.
Forgot to put a card at Huntress and I went back and ran into the manager of the parks. He showed me where 2 and 9 were, they were still in the ground but surrounded by construction equipment. They pulled 1 but once the aquatic center is done they are putting the basket back in again. He also provided score cards and maps for both courses. I also found out they had made the baskets, which consist of single chains and black feed baskets. He also said there was no real design planning. And the courses were simply put in to give the people of Clay Center another option for something to do in the city parks.

This park is flat with a lot of man-made obstacles and some trees. Again I played it with a mid and putter only. There were cement blocks in the ground for tee pads here.
Neither course were something I’d travel to play, but may take the discs out to throw and get some exercise if I was in the area for something else.
