You guys have a lot of great holes at Jones park. Holes that you have to do more then bomb a wide open hyzer then make a putt. You have to throw 2 good shots to get the 3.
Hole #2 East side, best hole in Kansas!!
Hole #11 long East side is a great hole.
Hole #17 long on West side rocks.
Hole #18 long on the West side is kick arse.
Hole #6 on the East side is excellent.
Hole #14 East side is a great 3 in both locations.
Hole #15 East side is cool.
These 4 holes are the direction that disc golf needs to go. Placement of 2 good drives in order to have a good putt!
You also have some sick 1 drive holes.
Hole #4 long East side.
Hole #12 on the East side on the short is cool.
Hole #9 long on the West side.
If you know of any Elementary PE jobs that open up, let me know.

Emporia rocks
Even though I hate to agree with you Smitty 
, I do for the most part. 
#2 is still sick but, it is fair; you just need to be accurate. 
At first, I thought #11 east in long was sick and maybe a little too difficult but, I 3'd it with a 35' putt 
and Dan & Don 4'd it with chances from about 50' away. It just took some thinking and well placed shoots.
I like our courses here in Wichita and think the combination of Herman Hill and Oak are hard to beat but, those two Emporia courses just might do the job.
On second thought,
NNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

How could it be to hard? The hole was only 450 foot long.Eaglehigh99 wrote:At first, I thought #11 east in long was sick and maybe a little too difficult but, I 3'd it with a 35' putt
Throw a drive up and to the left, then throw a safe little turnover upshot and drop in for a 3.
That hole is great!!!!

East #11 long
That's exactly how I played it to get my 3.
The difference in thinking is basically the difference between an Am and a Pro player. The tight OB line and landing zone would intimidate most players below an advanced level. In addition, at 450' (which is a long hole for most players), the majority of disc golfers are throwing a 150' to 200' approach shot into a real tight landing zone. Basically, with all this in mind, it means that it would intimidate the majority of disc golfers. 
Sometimes, the Pros tend to forget that they are in the minority in this and any other sport.
A hole like this is great for a tournament setting but not for regular play. IMO 
Again, this is just an "old man" Am's opinion. But, on the other hand, I do hear the thoughts, complaints and comments of a lot of players.

I think that hole is actually a great hole for all divisions except maybe Intermediate. Please remember it is a par 4 hole. If a master or advanced player can only get up the fairway 250 feet then maybe it is time to lay up to the ob line or somewhere behind the alt pin. From there most any player (absent serious wind conditions) can put it under the basket. If you choose to go for it from 200 feet away then that is the "risk" you take to get a "reward" 3. It's all about risk vs. reward and the hole is definitely fair.
It is actually a pretty easy 3 for a pro. If you take out the wind factor 75 percent of the pros are going to three it.

Hole #11

If you call the hole a par 4, I totally agree that it is fair. I was thinking par 3. 
It would be interesting to see the spread of scores on that hole in total and by division. Of course, that would only be possible if you saved the cards and have someone with plenty of time to "do the math". Just a thought, not an expectation.
