It's really easy to get to. 

Take I-70 East towards St Louis
Get off on Adams Dairy Parkway
Take a right. (South)
After you go underneath the railroads tracks the course will be on your left as you make your way up the hill.
Turn LEFT into the parking lot as if you were turning into the Blue Springs South Highschool Parking Lot
The park and school share entrances.  Once you have made your left turn make and immediate LEFT and follow that down to the parking lot at the absolute north end the road there.

If you are GPSing, search for Blue Springs South High School. Then follow Dick's directions on were to park.

 Saturday's weather is looking great.  Come out and show some support for a great parks and rec.  They are showing their appreciation by giving away a Buzzz.  Ceremonies start at 10 am.  i would arrive a little early to ensure that you get your disc.

John -

I am truly impressed with Young's Park.  I may have had a bad round out there tonight, but I like the difficulty...nowhere to go but up.  As you said, there is no other course like in the KC area.  Nice job.  See you tomorrow for the opening ceremonies.

Thanks to all who came out.  I think that having a 125+ crowd helps validate all my emails, calls, and meeting with  Roscoe Righter(head of parks and rec).  That was a very impressive showing and the parks had to have been feeling really proud. 

This parks dept is fully behind this course.  The course looks great right now and i promise that it will only continue to improve.  Roscoe mentioned how he felt there was a couple more years of work to be done.  Benches, shelter, more cleaning and clearing, better mowing etc will all be in the works.

love the course! 4 under was the best score in doubles, and pars are definitely good scores on almost all the holes from the longs. what is the tornament format, all longs both rounds or scorching the short ones too?

[dickthediscparker]

all long

I was out there today, but I didn't get out there quick enough to get a disc.

From a beginners perspective, the course is very technical, which makes it very difficult. I am used to shooting 10+ on a course, but I didn't even come close to that today. I would like to play the course again, but perhaps when its not so muddy. Good work on the layout. I thought some of the holes used the land very well. Seemed like there was a water hazard on almost every hole.

Noob question - Obviously the ponds were OB, but what about the little streams of water that you could practically stand in. Are those considered OB?

Great work out there John!

TOUGH COURSE... cant wait for it to DRY OUT... will definitely help my short game played it friday shot 12 over no birdies

The dedication was cool wish Lees Summit had been smart like that maybe Legacy would be mowed better if they had!!! Glad to see a city that wants to SUPPORT DISC GOLF... with that kind of showing by DISC GOLFERS it will be HARD to say NO to course improvements, MOWING & maybe another course in BLUE SPRINGS 1 day in the future... we can only hope

I KNOW John Theiss has the most HOURS involved in this but I want to say THANKS to ALL of the people who donated their OWN time & HARD WORK to get it to this point...

I cant wait to shoot this course even..  then it could get UGLY
