Disc golfers in Iola will soon have a water hazard to contend with.
Iola City Council members approved a request to add four holes to the Elm Creek Disc Golf Course on South Washington Avenue.
The Iola Community Involvement Task Force/PRIDE Committee will pay about $3,400 for the baskets, posts, concrete and Pampas grass and Lemongrass plantings, while the city will provide in-kind contributions in the form of labor to install the equipment.
The citys contribution is valued at about $4,000.
Donna Houser, CITF/PRIDE member noted the original vision for the disc golf course was for 18 holes instead of nine. Funding dictated the smaller option.
