Summary Review: 1.5 Stars (out of 5)
The disc golf course at Edness K. Wilkins State Park is a short niner located near the center of the park. Despite the course's location inside the park's loop road, the land is almost exclusively devoted to disc golf. The course route is easy to follow: it makes one continuous loop counter-clockwise around the area inside the loop road. In almost every other area, this course comes up short. All but 2 holes measure less than 300 feet. Some holes have no obstacles, and most others can be attacked with a simple hyzer or anhyzer. Tall grass is everywhere, so prepare to lose discs in spite of the shortness of the holes. Tees are small and gravel, and some of the baskets are leaning or lacking adequate chains. There is no elevation anywhere on this course. There were many people in the park when I came here on a damp and grey Thursday morning with rain showers, but I was the only player on the disc golf course. While this is certainly not the worst course I have ever played or reviewed, given the shortness of the holes, tallness of the grass, and steepness of the entrance fee, I can understand why many players would take a pass on this one. This course is OK for a quick nine if you come here to hike or picnic, but nearby North Platte Park has 2 pretty good high recreational level courses. Most players will be better off playing there for free than paying to play here.
Hole-by-Hole Review
Distances taken from course map. Picture sequence for each hole is 1) tee, 2) approach, 3) basket to tee.
Hole #1: 182 feet, par 3
Comments: You can't see the basket from the tee: it is behind the cluster of trees you see on the right side of the tee photo. So you want to aim at the single tree on the left and use a slight left-to-right disc flight. Don't expect much of a bounce or roll on the ground due to the grass. If you can get around the trees with enough distance, a birdie putt awaits. #2 tee is to the right.
Hole #2: 181 feet, par 3
Comments: Again you can't see the basket from the tee: it is behind the small trees in the center of the tee photo. Due to this hole's shortness, a straight throw barely high enough to clear the small trees is the best option, although there are other options. This hole will become much more difficult if those trees keep growing. #3 tee is to the left.
Hole #3: 272 feet, par 3
Comments: a single large tree about 30 feet in front of the basket guards the front left side of the basket. Otherwise this is an obstacle-free hole with only grass to contend with. #4 tee is to the left.
Hole #4: 215 feet, par 3
Comments: dead straight with no significant obstacles. The course map shows the basket in a different position than it was in when I came here. #5 tee is right beside the basket.
Hole #5: 219 feet, par 4
Comments: a slight dogleg right, an overhanging branch from a tree on the left creates a low ceiling and/or constricts the fairway. There are many shrubs on this hole's first 150 feet, but the area around the basket is quite open. A good throw that misses the trees and the shrubs will lead to an eagle putt. #6 tee is right beside the basket.
Hole #6: 242 feet, par 3
Comments: a straight, easy hole provided you don't miss right and throw it into the shrubs. #7 tee is to the left.
Hole #7: 236 feet, par 3
Comments: The basket is behind the single tree in the middle of the tee photo. There is room to go either side of that tree, but that tree is probably too big to go over and too dense to go through. Pick a line and execute a throw. #8 tee is to the left.
Hole #8: 311 feet, par 4
Comments: a dogleg right with the dogleg about 150 feet from the tee. The dogleg is fairly tight with large trees guarding either side of the fairway. If you miss that gap, you will probably be scrambling for 3 unless you miss way left and therefore go around all of the trees. Not taking par into account, this is the hardest hole on this course. #9 tee is behind the basket.
Hole #9: 342 feet, par 4
Comments: The closing hole is also the longest hole, but it is far more open than the previous hole with only a few small trees to contend with. The sand volleyball court on the right is too close for safety comfort, and I would not play this hole if people were using that court. The parking lot is to the right.
