Long holes on this course that winds along the River Rouge. The river comes into play on most holes, with basket placements close to the water. High risk reward . Mild elevation with some tees on mounds. The grass fairways are mowed. It’s best to play in extended dry conditions. Tee posts with maps but no next tee directions. UDisc makes navigation much easier, especially when crossing sidewalks across the river. Long walk back from hole 9 unless you cross the river. No parking lot. Park along the road next to hole 1.

So, it seems there have been some updates since some of the previous folks played here - I played today and all 9 holes had tees with maps and baskets, though none of them have pads. The baskets aren' ... show more ›

So, it seems there have been some updates since some of the previous folks played here - I played today and all 9 holes had tees with maps and baskets, though none of them have pads. The baskets aren't labeled, but I'm planning to get out there with a sharpie this week and at least label those. It's a nice little neighborhood 9 hole - it's all open and there's a water source to try to keep your disc out of on each hole (I only had one go in on one hole (#5) but was easily able to fish it out with a stick on the shore).

To note - the transition from holes 1-2 over to 3 is a bit wonky - you need to cross the road and the river (kitty-corner) and hole #3 tee is at the top of the hill, on Lola Rd. To get to hole #6, you have to get on the sidewalk on 5 mile to cross the water, then the tee for hole #6 is at the top of the hill on Pomona. Finally, going from hole 8 to 9, you have to cross the road and the water (kitty-corner again), and the tee for hole #9 is on the grass just across and up to the right.

A map would be helpful as well as "next tee this way" signs - maybe those will come in the future?!

Very unique course, as it is all in a valley with the rouge river running through it. Nice scenic shots. Course has a lot of potential - could continue on after 9 and wrap it back around to 1 to make it an 18 hole course that wraps in a complete circle. No basket for hole 1 and no signs anywhere about where to start . Probably want to wait a couple days after it rains.

Plays nice in later summer, when dry and grasses are mowed. Nearly unplayable in the spring when wet - it is a river valley afterall. But a federally funded habitat improvement project should improve that; however it comes with a walking path in the fairways of 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 - which sounds nice, and it kind of is - but it's like crushed concrete and it destroys plastic. Increasing me review to a C.

How is this a course still? Don't waste your time! Wasted my time coming here to "try" and play a new place. Could not find some holes or tee areas 3 hole signs on the entire course no trash cans so litter everywhere. Muddy and nasty is to be expected on the lay of this land but damn where is the course? I was pretty pissed walking around trying to figure it out no wonder not one person was playing other than myself.

Wasted potential.. The tees play great for an AM1/Pro with an arm where deuces would be possible. For the AM3/AM2 player there isn't much score separation. Shooting a par three on most holes is relatively easy to come by so you end up with a course full of tweener holes. The land here is really nice for disc golf but I think the designer missed the mark, especially considering the area where you are much more likely to attract casual players vs. Pro/AM1 level. I would have gone with 18 holes of varying length, where many more deuces are possible and the layout could flow better with some downhill and some uphill shots.

Set up in a valley smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood is the course. Creek flows down the middle and brings water into play on most of the nine holes. Tee markers are missing for #1 and #5, other signs missing as well but there are posts to help find the way. Whoever planned out hole #9 and the MASSIVE walk back to #1 needs to step up and build a bridge. After playing this course I felt like I deserved a cookie and OJ for donating that much blood. Not terrible thou, if people played it more and beat it in it would make a good 300+ ft. pitch and putt that leans heavy for RHBH bombs. Safari rounds would make it better as the layout forces you to walk up and down for no reason other than RHBH Downhill bombers. I would not advise playing this course for glow, which is a shame for it would be an awesome setting for it.
