I learned how to play on this course and even the first time I was blown away. It's the most up kept course I've ever played. Every hole has it's own challange and the variety of different shots is awesome. I would reccomend this course to anyone. It's a guaranteed good time everytime weather you have a great round or the worst round of you life....

Tons of variety here~! Fallasburg has everything from blind woods, tunnels, downhills, uphills, L/R, R/L, short precision shots to an almost 800' bomber. If you want a challenge, this course will force you to pull every throw style and most of your discs out of your bag.
•Well Groomed The course lay is maintained by the local P&R dept and is mowed weekly. The rough on open holes gets tall in the summer, but, they give PLENTY of room in the fairways to play up. Lots of wooded holes but all have a line cut through them (as challenging as some of those lines can be) The rough is very rough in some parts, bring a machete or spotter.
•Amenities are plenty of trash cans and benches at nearly every hole. The park is kept quite clean and inviting.
Aesthetics The course runs through a beautiful wooded area 20 minutes east of Grand Rapids.There is also a historic village and covered wood bridge just east of the course.
Cons: Very little to complain about at Fallasburg.•Bugs! Bring some spray or you will (hopefully) live to regret it!
•Popular This great course is very popular that you will have to spend some time waiting on backed up holes. Or go mid week, early morning and fly around the course like I did. Luckily, the length of the course and some short trails between holes help to spread out groups, so, once you start the backups are still fairly manageable.
•Parking Lot is huge, however the parking lot is dirt and in pretty rough shape.
•Amenities Has a porta potty restroom by basket 18. Bring some water or beer you are gonna need it! Other Thoughts: Very nicely laid out course with plenty of variety to keep you on your toes. Some nice scenery as you walk through hilly woods and open Michigan plains. For Mid-West Michigan, this is a must play!! Had a group of three deer stare me down around hole 14, I got with 25 feet of them. I believe they were trying to snag on to one of my discs.

Awesome course! Loved the challenge it provides,the use of the land,the wooded holes. Loved the concrete teepads, the baskets were in excellent shape. The flow was good for the most part. The course Didn't really have a signature hole and with the exception of kids and maybe a few holes, I didn't understand the need for the short pads here. I will be returning here someday and would love to play a tournament here.

One of my favorite courses in Michigan. Has everything you could really want in a course. HUGE elevation changes through much of the course makes it kind of a hike, but well worth the time to come here. Pro/Am pads, signage is great. This course will test your drives, up shots, and most putts. Rough isn't bad to find and errant shot but you will be penalized off it. Super cleaned up now that they've held the 2017 MASTERS here.

This course is a gem. In a Kent County park just outside of Lowell, Michigan, mostly through the woods but there are a few holes in open meadow terrain. Lots of elevation change and several blind shots. One hole is like 500 feet long, and uphill the whole way. Lots of woodsy ace run opportunities, but bring your A-game if your playing from the pro tees as accuracy and precision are needed to score well. I'd give this course an A but the tee pads could be longer and signage is poor. And 17 and 18 are a little underwhelming. This course is very well taken care of. No litter seen and trash cans on every hole. Fallasburg Park is worth the trip.

As fine of a free disc golf park as one may ever find. A terrific mix of spectacular wooded holes, elevation changes, and wide open meadow looks too. Championship grade long course is no joke. Shorts were a fun pace for a singles foursome. Longs seemed perfect for a competitive doubles match. The greenery was in full bloom and the sun hot. Bring extra water. Porta-potty/ mini bomb shelter next to parking lot. Practice Basket available.

Good course could be groomed a little better, looks as if a teenager walk through it with a push mower! Had a good selection of long and short holes one being a monster 778 footer! Course flows well and has a garbage can and bench at every Tee Box. No permanent signs on the Tee Box, some have a piece of laminated paper nailed to a board on the ground. I would recommend discourse to try at any skill level.

Fun challenging course. Plays mostly through the woods with some longer placement holes playing in and out of them. Tough but fair fairways mostly. A couple holes could use more of a definite line instead of a poke and hope (hole 6). Only disc golf out there, no bystanders to worry about. Overall fun to play and makes you work for a good round. My favorite in the area.

Fun course in a beautiful setting, a great big thanks to Kent County for the effort and time put in. Hole 5 I thought was a wow factor, good luck shooting par on this uphill slope. We had people passing us saying they never throw on that hole...lol. My only complaint, so far my second favorite course I have played.

This is my favorite course in the GR area! This course has everything: short and long holes, elevation change, wide open and tightly wooded holes. You may end up using every disc in your bag and every trick you know to get through this course. Fallasburg will help average players to become better disc golfers.

Wonderful disc golf course . Great design , well thought out .lots of great elevation changes . Bring your A game when playing here . open holes as well as tight woods.
Make sure to bring beverages as the stores are a bit of a drive away. Alcohol is allowed at this park just use your head . No water holes here, too bad considering the river is so close to 17 and 18.

First time playing the course and I wish I had the time play it twice through. The flow from hole to hole was very natural - no way I'd get lost out there. The tees are nice, with the exception of #18, which is oddly short. The cement information markers are a cool idea, but the paint wearing off works against their usefullness. While many holes challenged distance, placement, and line, there were also many holes that played too easy for me - a 250 foot completely open hyzer isn't really much of a challenge - I shouldn't have (4) 35-10 foot birdie chances on a course I've never played before (I'm just not that good, lol!) There's a good bit of very exciting terrian variation that comes into play as a result of basket location that I thoroughly enjoyed. The course is in good condition and the players I ran into there were courteous and helpful. It's own parking lot is nice - you can be sure of how many people are on the course and don't need to worry that spots will be taken by families on a playground, etc. Overall, a very worth while course I'd like to revisit many times.

The course has very tight, long and narrow fairways with wooded area on most of the holes. It has 3 holes that our over 500 ft #1, #5, & #16. I have hit holes #5 and #16 for 3. However #1 is unreac ... show more ›

The course has very tight, long and narrow fairways with wooded area on most of the holes. It has 3 holes that our over 500 ft #1, #5, & #16. I have hit holes #5 and #16 for 3. However #1 is unreachable. The course has developed into one of Michigan's TOP 5 courses thanks to some locals who care for it. In terms of difficulty there is equal opportunity for lefties and righties. It is a course that will exercise all of your talents. It can also help you prepare for big tourneys because the course makes you focus mentally. I like anything disc golf. I dislike anything not disc golf.

Played for the first time today on my way home to Detroit from Flip city and this course is in my top ten favorites. Tee and pin placements are exceptional, lots of challenging fun holes, great wooded shots and long open bombs as well. Only complaints are signage for navigation and a fairway or two need to be cleaned up so there is at least a skilled way to the basket not just pull and pray. Great course well worth the drive even for me about three hours.

Let's be clear, this is THE best course in the Greater GR area. Great elevation changes. Long, short, and technical holes. Overall amazing layout and experience makes this my "go-to" course all summer long. The bad: This course is gaining in popularity and following the "Brewer" path. Rude mob golfers are on the rise throwing their garbage and shit everywhere, tossing garbage cans down hills and smashing them with their feet. I am sick of picking up beer cans thrown 5 feet from a garbage can. . .slobs. Someone smashed the tee-signs with a rock on 15 and 16...grow up. Last week, after I threw, a douche dropped his discs on top of mine and tried to say it was his, I called him out on it and we almost threw down right there, he then rejoined the rest of his unruly mob and I happily let a group play through so I wouldn't have to be behind them. I certainly hope this course doesn't become unplayable due to a bunch of asshats. I wish they would find new hobbies that fit their maturity level like hanging out at 7-elevens, wrapping their cars around trees, and being incarcerated. Many props to you guys that have been cleaning up behind these jerks and keeping this course in great condition.

Fallasburg has a bunch of really great things that you will like. Long and short tee pads, cement tee pads on all longs and most shorts, 18 interesting holes that have a variation throughout (left, right, up down, woods, open, short long) You will use pretty much every disc in your bag here. Holes 5 and 16 are championship caliber and very challenging holes that will challenge most players to get a 4. There are some birdie opportunities out there, but you better get them when you can. Fallasburg has continued to improve over the years and mostly doesn't have much traffic. Make the trip and enjoy your time at Fallasburg.
