This course has changed a bit after the 2022 tornado wiped out some of the tree canopy, making the area more open and less technical. However, the quality baskets and concrete pads make this course remain at the top of the list.
Cowskin Disc Golf Course
8th St, Colwich, KS 67030
This course is currently a little rough around the edges with many feeling that the upkeep, lawn, and vegetation maintenance are left wanting. Still with this issue – the course has a relatively high ranking due to its nice flow and challenging game. The low canopy offers a blanket of trees at many holes making it fun, but technical.

Another great course for beginners or intermediate players.

Quick Tip!
Dics golf courses can be hard to navigate, especially if you aren’t familiar with the flow. Knowing where the next hole is, or even where your current hole’s basket is located can be especially difficult at courses with a thick tree canopy. My advice to assist you with your game is to download a Disc Golfer app such as UDisc and PGDA, . Apps and websites such as these not only have course maps, but you can read and leave reviews on each course profile as well as receive course details such as hole count, park amenities, and course ranking. In addition to these great perks, many of them offer the current course conditions before you plan your visit.
