the original 9 will test any player ability with it's tight lines and thick brush. an arrant drive will surely be punished. the name of the game here is placement if you want to get up and down in 3. the first two holes curve to the right followed by a 375' gradual left. 4 is in the shape of an inverted L with the pin tucked in to the right, 5 on the original (or 20 when the course is completed) is a straight 250'r AKA the deuce hole. 6 has a 25' gap to hit and you could play a slow "S" turn or ...

Great technical course, can't wait for 5-19 to be finished

11/6/16-I haven't been to this course in 4 months or so. I went today just for a short nine and was blown away that the back 9 are in for a total of 18 holes. These back holes are nothing like the front, they have and up north feel with tons of elevation. They are all solid par 3s and hole 18 is for sure a par 4 or maybe 5 at 500+ feet snaking downhill through the woods. All the holes are now re-number 1-18 with great flow. Signs on all the holes. The back nine do not have t-pads, I hope they wi ...

They are all solid par 3s and hole 18 is for sure a par 4 or maybe 5 at 500+ feet snaking downhill through the woods. All the holes are now re-number 1-18 with great flow. Signs on all the holes. The back nine do not have t-pads, I hope they will come. A couple of the tees are not level, hopefully some t pads will correct that situation.
Remember that these holes are work in progress, if you get off the fairway be prepared to rough through thick brush and some torn bushes. My advise, wear pants.

Thank you to the DNR and whoever else that finally made this happen. I wanted to rate it an A but without the T-pads its just not quite there. This is now my new home course, I love it and look forward to playing it often.

3/25/13 - I have updated my review to a B-. On a whim I decided to check out the course again and I was pleasantly surprised to find that many trees and brush have been cleared. This course is now looking way better and lines are becoming possible. I even met the course designer while I was playing and he explained the more good changes are store. Thanks Eric, the course is looking good.

12/20/12- Way to many trees, the lines are impossible. I have played this course several times and really want to like it since it is close to home. I have now realized that I just don't like it. I am done with it until some trees are cleaned out. Thumbs up to A3disc, he has put a lot of effort in on this course but his hands are tied in changing much as he does not have deign control. The bummer is that this course has tons of potential.

Very good technical course. Bring all your shots for this wooded, tight and fair gem of pure MI disc golf. Not too many long shots and found I really did not need as many discs as I schlepped around (17), could have ditched all my high speed stuff. Fairway drivers and mids are the ticket. I pulled my cart but after getting into the back 9, I started to regret it, there's some elevation to deal with. A simple bag of discs you know well is key here. As of this review, there is just a few tee ...

I pulled my cart but after getting into the back 9, I started to regret it, there's some elevation to deal with. A simple bag of discs you know well is key here. As of this review, there is just a few tee pads to be installed still. Signage is great and I never felt lost. Wear pants, lots of brambles off the fairways and around almost all the greens, not too bad but annoying. Rough was not terrible as far as disc hunting goes. Great place to practice, nobody seems to play here.
