I have played disc golf all over the US, and Flip City remains the best course I have ever played. This course will challenge the best disc golfers and will leave you wanting to play it again and again. Bill does an amazing job with grounds keeping and deserves much praise. Flip City is the best that this sport has to offer. When you play, don't forget to leave a generous donation.

Flip City is my favorite course that I have played on. This is a must play course! Great shots for all levels of players. Interesting holes with pristine fairways, rock piles, rock mushrooms, pavilions, and more make Flip City the place to play a really fun round of Disc Golf. I LOVE FLIP CITY!

A more-than-reasonable $1 fee for playing this excellent course. Bill has done wonders with the great elevation changes, a variety of difficulty and intriguing rock formations. A truly unique disc golf experience! My favorite course so far, by far!

Flip City? Where do I begin? First does it live up to its hype? For the most part yes a resounding YES! A private course run by a man who is dedicated to the sport. Beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully laid out. Cool little stone markers to show you the way. Many holes with blind baskets have some kind of stone marker that shows you the way to the basket. Interesting variety of shots and use of terrain, Flip City really does have it all!
But could it be better? Yes. I am a low ...

What can one say about flip city that has not already been said by anyone who has played it... it is hands down the best. Quality tee pads, severe elevation changes, a wide variety of shots, well placed pins and it is very aesthetically pleasing. Bill maintains the course beautifully and the location keeps the crowd down. I have never been on this course and thought that something needs to be changed. We are so lucky to have this course in our state and i wish i could play it more.

By far the single most intriguing, beautiful and addictive course I've had the privilege of playing. With the combinations of how well it's maintained, the elevation changes, hazards, hidden holes with rocks as guides designed to help you approach the baskets, the coolest chill spots, immaculate landscaping that includes rock piles (many stacked higher then I am tall and are seen, not only on basically every hole, but even between them as well) that are so incredible they can be considered as sc ...

Flip is a great course and a lot of fun to play. I really enjoy the fact that Bill (course owner/designer) is willing to adjust the course to make it better. The course borders old design and new design with a mostly deuce or die challenge. The 3 par 4's are refreshing (#2, #2A, #16) throwing in a contrast to the other 21 rather approachable holes. I look forward to seeing Flip City evolve. Pros - elevation, upkeep, cleanliness, aura, fun-to-play. Cons - the baskets are getting worn - spitouts

This place is just plain rediculous. Its the ultimate discgolf paradise. I cant hardly believe it. The owner must spend every waking moment grooming this little slice of heaven. A variety of shots, plenty of elevation, rock formation obstacles..........just a prime example of perfection at a discgolf course. If you want a good pitch to your local city for installing a course, show them pictures of this place. I could go on and on, just get in your car and make the drive. Do it.

Very nice coarse! It has so many fun elements. It is one of the best places I have played. That's for sure! Everyone said it was better then Hickory Hills in Traverse City, MI. I don't think it is. I think is a awesome coarse, that's for sure! But I love my home coarse! Please pay your 1$ for your round. This place is very well maintained and there is a lot of love put into it. So please show your respect. It's on a man's private property and you are graciously allowed to play there. Don't be a scum bag!!!

Exit 140 draws you out of the groove in the pine and hardwood forest that is highway 31 north of Muskegon, Michigan. You look out onto a terrain shaped by the last ice age and a few determined farmers. Untouched by the grower's machines, Flip City adds a few pads and baskets to the trees and plants that occupy this gift from a receding glacier. People who play here offer compensation for their grinding feet by erecting awkward columns from the rock-till exposed by recent rains or gathered by so ...

i capped off an amazing weekend off discing up in traverse city (hickory,carly's, & kimmerly) and decided to drive 75 miles out of my way to try out flip city, and found that it was soooo worth it! the elevation changes are great, they really add to the impeccable course layout. thx to all my fellow disc golfers for adding the rock formations throughout, they add to the beautiful landscape perfectly. a must play for anyone who plays to enjoy nature and a reasonable challenge on the course

Played here for the 2012 Ace Race. I got there a day early to play the course a few times before the ace race and it was phenomenal. Bill lets you spend the night on his land for 10 bucks, which is pretty sweet. He really seems like a pretty cool guy. It never was that busy because the 24 holes is pretty spread out. Great elevation changes and has greens that will make you pull your hair out. The rock formations were pretty amazing! This course almost has the feel of a real golf course, due to bills constant upkeep on the course.

Custom cement poured pads, well kept fairways and baskets, 24 holes, brooms on nearly each pad, paths in fairways and rough for ease of disc searches, the list goes on and on. Elevation changes, mature trees, rock formations, private ownership, and an extremly loyal group of flip city players are just a few of the things that makes ...

A lot of fun. Placement of upshots to the "greens" was more important than any other course I have played. Definite risk/reward on most holes. I had more of a ball golf mentality on this course, manage the course, know when to be aggressive and when to layup. Enjoyed that part of this course very much!

I am new to Disc Golf, and have only played a few courses. Was taking a vacation with my family in Silver Lake, and decided to try out this course with my 6 year old son. It was an amazing course with everything you could ask for. Wooded holes, open holes, long holes, and short holes. Great setup! Only negative was that the outhouse was in poor condition (more a problem of the golfers not being respectful of others). The course was in amazing condition!

The elevation changes, fairways, rock formations, pristine upkeep and overall difficulty of the course is just awesome.

I wrote a review detailing the technicalities of flip city a while back, which I also rated A+. However, I just wanted to address the form in which Bill McKenzie(owner) has kept the course in this summer. He's been hard at work cleaning up the rough and with countless hours of back-breaking work which I've witnessed often as a local, it's really paying off. Oh, and if you lost a disc, he found a bunch. So stop in check it out, and play a round. After all he does all this for you guys. Happy discing.

This has to be one of the best courses in the state. I did not shoot it particularly well on my first time through, but that doesn’t take away from how great the course is laid out. If you’d like to long toss, you will have many opportunities to pull out the big guns, and accurate putting is a must! It is helpful to have a course map as many baskets are hidden from the tee pads, but the flow is fairly natural and decently marked especially if you are adding the six holes in the middle to sho ...

Both a technical course and the most amazing course i have ever played.

Flip is definitely worth any drive, mine was only about 2 1/2 hours, but i would have easily drove three times that. This is a MUST PLAY.

If you play disc golf in Michigan and have yet to visit here, it is an absolute must play. Believe the hype because this course is incredible even before you throw in the fact that it is someones back yard. Lots of elevation changes provide some great shots and precarious basket placements can wreak havoc on your putting/approach game. The scenery is wonderful and the rock formations scattered about give the course a very unique feel. Definitely worth a day trip if you get an opportunity to go SEIZE IT!

The short of it: a fantasy land. Flat out. With a hike through a landscape that is constantly changing, Flip City offers all who visit a legit adventure. From giant bombs to s-curve tunnels, baskets on hills, ridges, valleys, and hill tops, the shot variety is phenomenal. Nice touches like channels through the rough, huts and tables in key cross-points, and amazing character by way of cool rock sculptures, visitor graffiti, and even a bell on 17. It is so worth the visit!
The long of it: I p ...

Great all around course. I think I threw every disc in my bag and just about every type of shot at some point. There are several blind shots that are tough to find if you havent played there before. Putting is dangerous here. Very few of the baskets are in a level area. If you are too aggressive around the basket you can end up in big trouble.

When I first played flip city I felt that it was the best course that could ever exist. I recently went back as a more advanced player and was a little less in awe than I thought I would be. I still LOVE flip city but just wish there were more holes over 400'. I also had my first few experiences with flip roll aways and boy was it painful. Still by far one of the best courses in Michigan.

FYI: Course is closed until the spring. Went up there on November 3rd, 2014, and had my heart broken to see the driveway with signs saying closed until spring. Really wanted to get this course in this year. :(
Love this course. I'm geeked about any time I get to play at it, and it has something for everyone with all of the alternate tees. A must play course if you live anywhere in Michigan, with an amazing variety of elevations.

Excellent course. Great changes in elevation and hole placement. Also a nice mix of short challenging holes and long bomb type shots. The scenery at this course is picturesque. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the clever seating on almost every hole. Trash receptacles were also on every hole.

This course is one of the best and most beautiful courses I have played. It is very challenging. If you have only been playing disc golf for a few years don't expect to par this course. There is a variety of hole types and a bunch of beautiful scenery. There is a great mix of hole types that range in distance from long to extremely long. One hole is 670 feet!!! There is a donation box at hole #1. Make sure you deposit at least $1.00 for 18 holes,more if you like. This is a must play course if you love the sport of disc golf!!

The course is groomed so well, the rough is mowed to thin shapes for ease in finding discs in common 'rough' landing spots. It is a lot of work to walk the course and keep focused for 24, but it is beautiful. Every tee is a new challenge.

Excellent course. Great vibe there.
Not super cart friendly but its long, so its hard to say if carrying all that water is better, or carts over rocks, up and down is better.
If you are on the west side of MI, you should go there and play.

To be sure, I had pretty high expectations going in to it. Though it was well maintained and well designed, I thought it was lackluster. It is an awesome home course, but, when I think of the best course in Michigan and the 6th best in the world, I think I am right to expect some difficulty and professionalism. Something like tee signs would be a good start. I might put a place like Brewer Park, Toboggan, or Bear's Den above it for sure. I think that is deserves a top 10 in MI...maybe even top 5...but not more.

Just played Flip City for the third or fourth time as part of the 2012 Michigan State Championships. As always, it kicked my arse and I was very impressed. Beautiful scenery, the biggest elevation changes I have ever seen on a course, and Bill McKenzie really takes care of it. Love the rock piles, the rounded cement tee pads with the fould line, and all of the pavillions and benches. Best course I have ever played.

This was a pretty cool course, and I do have to give props to Bill for keeping this up in the condition that it is in. This course is amazingly well kept up, it compares to those in KY that I have played. I would have to say though I think that it is a little overrated. Great course, loved the land but I don't see what gives it the #1 in Michigan. Obviously there are a lot of people that haven't played Bluegill yet, and they probably should.

Bill put alot of hard work into it dnt get me wrong, but to me it wasn't the best course I played. I know its not his fault but the leaves in the woods, kinda of scared me, did not know if theres was holes I would fall into and so on. but again I enjoyed the course. thanks bill for having a discgolf course.
