A challenging and well designed 18/24 hole technical wooded course with variety, elevation, tight lines, some blind shots and thick rough. No water hazards. Needs better signage and baskets and a few more trash cans. The varied pads are still decent. The course is in a clean and maintained multi use park with camping and swimming. Opens at 7 am, $5 entrance fee.

Great blend of open and wooded holes, elevation, and scenic views, and water only on a few holes. Challenging for all levels of play. Property that is ideal for a disc golf course. Should be on every top 20 list for the state. Camping and swimming amenities on-site.

Challenging long course. Can't go wrong with 24 holes of golf. Have to go in with an open mindset because after the first tree hit it doesn't get any easier. Fun course, worth the price of admission; challenges shot accuracy and touch.

Love this place! Fun and Technical! Playing here every week, would make you a better disc golfer and human being!
Pros: Coldbrook Park has always been one of the classic Michigan courses that everyone talks about - usually either folks love it or hate it but it seems to have maintained a special character that keeps people coming back. A 'pro' or a 'con' depending on the way you look at it, but Coldbrook demands that you learn lines (some of which are a bit hidden) that yield higher percent ...

One of the best and most challenging courses in Southwest Lower Michigan. Is a highly technical course so you must have good accuracy to be successful here. Course is mostly flat and has hills on some holes and somewhat rough terrain from the tree roots. Some of the teepads have been redone and they look great. Course navigates really well. No complaints about this course just a few things to make it even better. Those would be: New teesigns most holes you can see the basket from the pad but on ...

I enjoyed this course. Played it on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't very busy. I can imagine on the weekend this course could be very crowded. You would need to be aware where other players were on the course at all times. If you like wooded courses with a bunch of birdie opportunities, this is a must play. I will be back! 91 out of 100.

My first course years ago. Played this course more than any other. Short with nasty, mean, random trees. Teaches the benefit of developing your mid range precision game. Nice design.

Great Course!! But Too many short holes. Only one Tee and Basket for 24 holes , but the park does not allow play on 4 holes (right of way to picnickers) on the weekends. Hole 4 is absolutely gorgeous! A lot of very tight short holes. There are 11 holes under 250 ft. Lots of variety. Up down Left Right Hidden Open. Basket and Next tee a little too close on many holes. I STILL WANT TO GO BACK. (only played 18).

This course has a few crappy baskets...too small of tee pads, and some of the rudest people I've met in my life at a disc golf course. They allow alcohol out here, so probably why. Have made at least four visits to this course, and always run into some inconsiderate jerks who could care less about etiquette. This course is super technical and can be very frustrating, but it is pretty. If I ever am able to come out here when it's a slow day, maybe wouldn't be so bad.

Decent course. Could use some new tees and updates, but all in all not bad. A lot of "poke and hope" holes, with only 1 definitive line, which can make repeat rounds kinda boring. Lots of bugs and poison ivy though. If I was up in the area, I'd play it again, maybe with the wife and kiddo before making my way to one of the better local courses for a solo round.

This is another nice course in the Kalamazoo area. It is shorter for the most part but very playable and really fun. There are a lot of great holes here. Be sure to play the last 6, but bring some water discs. These are some very picturesque disc golf holes. Well groomed too!

Nice technical course. While many holes are short - the significant elevation changes and line needed for various holes makes it play quite different than a standard 200' "straight" throw. And, lots of obstacles (trees) prevent any easy ace lines to a basket. Holes 21-24 allow for some long drives. Course slightly favors a backhand righty, but for a lefty (me), allows some great opportunity to hone forehand drives that don't require great distance.

Coldbrook is one of the best courses in the area, Leila is not. This course have great variety but to be honest there are local routes you learn as you go. First time was miserable for a European used to open fairways but a few weeks into it, starting to love it! A group of different skill sets would all do well here.

Pros
-24 holes
-Elevation
-Tee pads and baskets were in ok shape but baskets were quite old and low to the ground
Cons
-Navigation was interesting if not accompanied by a local
-Lots of "local" routes without which many of the lines appear almost unthrowable
-No hole really stands out in my mind other than the "UHH??" factor
-Tons of backups in tournament play
-Pay to play and yet they still have what appear to be the original baskets
-Overall I saw basically nothing that would make ...

Challenging course that is very well maintained. The lines can be frustrating for a beginner and seasoned player. The course is fairly technical and is worth the play the extra holes make this a nice course worth the destination trip and the elevation changes are a fun change of pace from some of the other area courses.

This is a great course to practice your finesse game. Shape your shots and roll with the punches. Hit an early tree and test your scrambling skills. Hit a late tree and test your putting skills. Hit all the trees and go meditate on the lakefront beach that sits a hundred feet away from hole#1 basket. Always good people around.

The up hill hyzer with a low ceiling but well kept rough was a welcome first hole and promised an interesting course. A lot of these holes have bird or ace potential and then some of them are just in range for par. A wide variety of holes on some good ground makes for a interesting round of discgolf. $5 for parking is worth it and this course will be played again for sure. The teepads are fantastic and they are marked well too. A couple of the holes play into the others and this could cause ...

Began playing here in '94. Have heard people say that the course requires luck ever since I started. Strange that most good players have always scored under par consistently. Anyhow, great course for practicing finesse and control. Do not throw big, throw accurate.

play this course enough and you will master your mental game. at least that's what al shack, tim weimer, david feldberg, and other great players have done out there. you learn how to roll with the punches. any decent player is physically capable of posting a 18-21 under here on a perfect round. but perfect rounds don't happen here. gotta take what you can get and stay in your game till the last putt goes in.
people that call this course luck-based don't know shit. luck might be a big fa ...

Course is decent. Not my favorite, not very challenging and most importantly not very fair. Most of the lines are good but too many 200-250 anhyzers down tight lines. Bad kicks and roll-aways can significantly hurt your score as they frequently do. Signage is good and there is a large range of hole distances and varying fairways. My biggest problem with this course is that it seems as though the course is designed for discs that don't fly very far or fast so most holes are just short, tight and not very creative.

Wow, sounds like somebody had a bad round.
I love Cold Brook. Great variety of shots, good test of accuracy and holding lines, and a good mix of short tech and medium shots with a few longer holes. 18 gets kind of swampy during rainy seasons and thaws, it's the lowest hole there but kind of a cool challenge to clear the water. I've met nothing but friendly and cool people here, and the locals seem to respect the course pretty well. Hole #2 is my favorite shot here.
