    Glad to see this course played so well. Even with the missing trees and it playing a few strokes easier, it’s still a bear! I play it pretty much every time I’m back in the QCs. Thanks for the video, Ben!

    Have you played Wildcat Bluff? Might give this a run for its money on difficulty

    • @BenCallaway

      I have! That course is very challenging arguably right up there for toughest. I’m just biased towards Westlake mostly because it’s giving me the biggest trouble during competition.

    I never knew about this course! I usually play at Eastern (more my level) but I sometimes drive past this park and think it would be a nice place to camp. I'll have to check it out sometime!

    • @BenCallaway
      @BenCallaway  10 дней назад

      Definitely worth checking out! Now’s a good time to play with the lake being frozen.

    I absolutely love this course and I've only played it once (twice). It was the grand opening tournament and an attempted two-a-day with all divisions, Int/Rec were sent away after lunch. Pro/Adv still finished in the dark for the last few holes.

    Kind of reminds me of Clevland lake in KC. One of the many gems in Kansas City.

    • @BenCallaway

      @ what courses have you played in KC other than bad rock I’ll assume?

    • @BenCallaway
      @BenCallaway  11 дней назад

      @ waterworks, blue valley, swope, cliff drive and bad rock.

    • @julianseyal

      @ oh mannn lol you been in some interesting parts of town I see I work downtown those are some rough areas cliff is basically abandoned at this point I’ve been in unsafe stations there when I practice on break alone. I say this with all respect but you’ve been led astray! Although swope/cliff are just wide open courses for bombs away.
      Waterworks bees knees instant classic (new teepees and layouts too)
      black hoof gold level wooded track well manicured and free to play. Play “the tips” for uber challenge only pros could score (but fair)
      Bad Rock of course
      Clevland Lake mixture of park and wooded, reminds me of your video a bit with lakes
      Cedar: just pretty fairways lined by cedar trees, clear lines, scoreable but specific
      Legacy: nice park style as well, the back 9 gets more challenging
      Rosedale Park: old heads love it park style course, can be really busy as it’s closest to down town
      If you had time for two I would say black hoof and clevland lake. Then revisit waterworks on way out.
      I’ve only been playing less than two years but feel fortunate to be in KC as I feel spoiled. Iowa looks to be abundant in courses too!

    I haven't seen this course since they did work on the property and it's a bummer about the trees that were removed. The course still looks like it has plenty of teeth and you definitely made it look too easy in this video.

    • @BenCallaway
      @BenCallaway  13 дней назад

      It's always fun to see what you can make look easy, right? However I did play with the wind down and in the fall when the rough is more forgiving

    • @drewk5972
      @drewk5972 14 дней назад +1

      its a great challenging course for most people, but the touring pros destroy this course. and with the rough basically gone on a few of the holes, i do think its "too easy" for them.

    • @BenCallaway
      @BenCallaway  14 дней назад +2

      @drewk5972 idk about “destroy” and I agree it’s not tour ready in its current layout. That being said with some trees missing from construction the rough on holes 3, 5, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 24 are still very much there.

    Heya, just a heads up: to keep the mic secure, you want to attach it to the brim of the cap, just before the visor. Not on the bill/visor itself. It's a lot more secure that way. I've dropped these mics myself, so hopefully this helps you. 🙂 (great video, btw!)

      @BenCallaway  14 дней назад

      @@queueburt8392 I was told the reason it wasn’t in the mix was too many people complained about how bad the rough was to play in so they took it out of rotation also because of the construction. Maybe one year soon it will comeback! 🤞🏻

      For the record, there’s two additional courses sketched out at that property. One on the north side (over the road from 10 and 11), and another one on the east side (over the bay from hole 19). The county was only interested in one at the time we built it, but feel free to ask again. They were great to work with!

      Not as often these days. I’ve heard the park is hard to deal with at times and course maintenance is huge being 24 holes.

      They certainly are. I’m also playing in the fall so all the rough is scarce. Makes the fairways seems HUGE.
