This course is about three years old and was cut out of an old tree farm. About two thirds of this course are tunnel shots. If you youtube Thomas Park, Salina, KS you can find videos of most of the holes. Info about the course can also be found here http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3257&mode=ci

Over the last month the club has sprayed 60 gallons of poison ivy killer so we have killed off most of the ivy. In the spring the city poured the last batch of tee pad so now all holes have a 15 foot long tee pad.

I played the course about 3 years ago before it was finished but I really loved it. The tight woods make it unlike any of the other courses I played in the state, and I saw a good variety of courses in Wichita, Emporia, Topeka, and Kansas City. I also really liked the design of hole#11, where the canal runs diagonally across the hole. I think many a designer might have made the hole just play straight across it, but having the canal run the way it does totally makes for the risk/reward aspect of the hole. http://www.pdga.com/discussion/images/icons/icon14.gif
