That hole is already a “beast” into the wind with water on every shot. My last real complaint is on hole 10, the out of bounds stakes left on the second shot. This is not fair for players who cannot hit the ball far enough because their next shot will have to come over the famous tree next to the green, and that won’t do for the slower swing speeds. The lay up short of the creek has to be played behind the 150 stake since the fairway runs out at 145. It’s a narrow fairway that rejects shots on the edges in most places. After what might be the hardest starting hole I know of while still being a good and fair hole, the second takes it a step further and rides the fence of being too much if not unfair. My least favorite hole on the course has to be hole 2. Don’t be surprised if you’re in a divot or two in the fairway. First, and this isn’t the golf courses fault really, is that the course gets a lot of play (good for the course) but being all bent grass, there is an abundance of divots in the fairways and many many pitch marks on the greens. The reasons this review isn’t 5 stars are these. Of the public courses I’ve played in Kansas, this is probably my favorite. The district is nominated for its association with the growth development of Sedgwick.I’ll start this review off by saying it’s definitely a course I wish I could give 4.5 stars instead of just 4. Some buildings were built or modified following a devastating tornado in 1923, and others, like the Sedgwick State Bank, were updated after World War II when Sedgwick experienced a population boom of aircraft workers who were employed at Wichita’s Boeing and Cessna plants. The earliest building is a wood-frame false-front building that was moved to the downtown in 1880. There are 11 buildings in this district built between 18 representing several phases of development. The town was sited at the junction of the Little Arkansas River and Sand Creek, and is located on a Santa Fe Railroad spur line that stretches north from Wichita to connect to the main Santa Fe line in Newton. The oldest town in Harvey County, Sedgwick is located 16 miles southwest of Newton, the county seat.
