When initially driving up you say beautiful campground and well kept park you go to approach the course you see brand new dynamic disc basket(cool baskets) but as i proceed to play the 18 course ( long pad) I realized how poorly designed discourses was out of the 18 holes I would say there was 3-4 holes that actually had lines that are designed for a disc‘s flight pattern. The fairway on about 80% of the courses holes we’re near impossible to stay on. So when you went off fairway the surrounding area VERY poor maintenance. Given it is a very elevated course, you could good have a good shot that would roll down into a very poorly maintenance surrounding area making it very hard to find your disc. I will say given the location new baskets in semi-nice T pads this place with the right team could be nice. Recommendation: currently I would not recommend anyone to these course. If you in that area head to Meyer Broadway park. (Two 18 hole course)

Deadwood yep the name fits!! Deadwood everywhere! Tons of trees in the fairways and outside the fairways.Short tee holes seem shorter than most courses but I think that was a good design choice so as to not discourage new disc golfers.Good use of elevation to add extra challenge.Variety of shots needed to score well on this course. Some of the elevation changes are very steep making it difficult to traverse.No bugs today but being wooded near water there could be days where the bugs are flat out nasty. Several of the holes reminded me of Plinko on steroids, throw it hard and wish it well. The property the course is on also includes a modern campground on Cade lake so that is also a bonus!

Not terrible. But below average for sure. First couple holes are kinda decent. Then the next few holes are below average lines off the tee. Challenging obnoxious but could be challenging and rewarding ... show more ›

Not terrible. But below average for sure. First couple holes are kinda decent. Then the next few holes are below average lines off the tee. Challenging obnoxious but could be challenging and rewarding fun if pins were moved a bit or got rid of some trees. Then it seems as if the designers felt like they were gonna run out of room so they threw in a few real short holes that can be jump putted from the shorts. Then they realize they had more room than they thought so the last hole is a 720 ft bomb over swamp. Why not!? I would play again but not planning on going back.

Cade lake course is horrific. The holes do not make any sense. The lines are not shaped like any disc flies. If you think I'm lying please try to get a round in there beforehand. It's so difficult it's dumb its so dumb its difficult. I tried to like the course because I like the property. I stayed at the campground for a week hoping for a good design like Meyer Broadway but was severely disappointed. Remove trees or move baskets. This course sucks. You can't find your discs because the holes are so blind it's ridiculous. Sad and just a bad addition to Michigan disc golf.

Great course, has great potential. Pros: great baskets, great tees, good challenges, a committed Parks department, camping on site, Sturgis not too far, money has gone into this course. Cons: sh ... show more ›

Great course, has great potential.
Pros: great baskets, great tees, good challenges, a committed Parks department, camping on site, Sturgis not too far, money has gone into this course.

Cons: shorts have several holes at 150 ft, some dangerous teepads where they are not far from the basket/fairway before. Nothing too serious thou.

Overall I like this course, it's fun and challenging and it is welcomed into the area! I think this course can make it to a A- with a little more grooming/breaking in. They have put rocks down in muddy places, made a bridge over a wet area so they are willing to put time, money and effort into a course, that is always a great thing to see.

The parks staff, course designers and community have put alot of effort into this course, and it shows!

I like this course, and I would play it often if I was closer, the cons would not prevent me from playing here whatsoever.

Tee pad size is perfect and all are level...very well done. Signs up on the long pads for both, so you have to walk back and forth if playing the shorts and need specifics about the hole. Would have ... show more ›

Tee pad size is perfect and all are level...very well done. Signs up on the long pads for both, so you have to walk back and forth if playing the shorts and need specifics about the hole. Would have been cool to integrate water into one of the holes, but very pleased with the course, nonetheless. Plenty of deuce opportunities from both pads, but require skilled shots. Front nine is overly-lefty-friendly while back 9 caters a little more to the right-handed player. Course is beautiful...completely wooded with lots of elevation changes, but I found a Zuca to be manageable, for the most part.

This place is beautiful! Definitely a technical wooded course with some elevation. The shorts are fair for easy par while longs offer more of a challenge. All cement tees and new Dynamic Disc veteran ... show more ›

This place is beautiful! Definitely a technical wooded course with some elevation. The shorts are fair for easy par while longs offer more of a challenge. All cement tees and new Dynamic Disc veteran baskets. Signage is going to be great when complete! First tee starts just beyond practice basket. My vote is NOT cart friendly...
