Kraxberger Middle School Disc Golf Course

This is a nice, fun park to check out in Gladstone. While the middle school looks like a bunker, the course flows nicely. My friend didn’t care much for the rubber mat tee pads but with good Keen boots, I saw no issue other than them being very short when stepping into my windup. I shot a +1 with no mulligans and could easily have shot even, if not 2 under with a bit more focus. If I was Trump, I would have claimed 10 hole-in-ones on a nine hole course, but that would be stretching believability, eh? Just remember that this is on a school property so it’s mainly a weekend course. And if there are any philanthropists out there, this school could use at least a new paint job. It’s not littered too badly but I could have filled up a few grocery bags full of debris. The school has a football field, baseball field, and track with long jump area. It’s got more than my middle school had now that I think about it. I was surprised that nobody was playing basketball on those courts on a nice Saturday before the rains set in. This area isn’t that sketchy so enjoy your games here. I met a nice lady that was walking her Whippet dog around whom stated that she’d never seen anybody play disc golf before. She wondered if there were only two holes but I told her there were nine total, circling the school. She said her pup was from Ireland, to which I responded, “I am from Ireland as well, just a few generations back.” She also said she was Irish ☘️ too. So what the heck are we doing here, I wondered. If you need a map, then please add the UDisc app to your phone and allow it to know your location. It will guide you around the property and help you track everyone’s score. My phone’s GPS signal isn’t the greatest but one day I hope to have a device that is closer to survey grade accuracy on my shots. That would make my experience so much funner. Go Bulldawgs!!!

Such a great addition to the Gladstone area!! This 9-hole course is great for beginners, with lots of open fairways and shorter distances that can turn into birdies and aces for more skilled players. Course map is on the UDisc app. If you park in the lot, you’ll walk behind the main building on the left side. Your opening drive on hole 1 is made from beside the building on the upper landing; to the basket down and to the left. Tee pads are easy to follow until you get to hole 8. To find 8, go passed the swings and through the fence toward the street. Walk down the hill and you’ll see the tee pad right by the basket for 9. Love that it ends right at the parking lot! The distances aren’t marked yet but they’re available on the UDisc app. Easy to play multiple rounds on a mostly flat course. Course is only available outside of school activity schedule. Thanks so much to Disc Golf Depot & the hard working PE teacher that made this course happen!!!

Nice neighborhood, nice school. Okay baseball field. Grass is a little rough. All in all we had a good game and a fun time.

Good for a quick in town Disc game. Obviously, you'll need to be careful about throwing into fenced backyards and a roof or two. I love that it's at a school, I hope the kids have some PE classes or something that take advantage of it. I wish I had something like this growing up!
