Deerfield is by far the best course in the area. It challenges the player with some tight accuracy shots and then allows you to bring out your long game on a few, while covering everything in between. I drive past the CMU course to go to deerfield and it's well worth the extra gas.

Course Is being well taken care of and has improvements everytime I play it! Lines are well defined showinfg a clear route, the key is hitting them all in the same round.With concrete tee pads in now, i would rate this as a top 10 in Michigan! Great work everyone who played part in getting the course ready for tournament play!
+5 votes David Loggins › Deerfield › July 1, 2011
Probably one of the best technical course I've played. This course has everything a player could ask for, tight but forgiving fairways, a few bomber holes, a real thinking man's type course. Great use of the terrain, lots of elevation changes, a throw over the water. Pads all seem new, distance marked on every tee, a long and short tee for every hole. Course is very well maintained, every spot off the fairway where your bad tee shot might land is cleared of under brush while still leaving the trees and bushes in place. I couldn't find anything to complain about :)

Amazing layout with some real beauties in and out of the trees. My technical skills have improved immensely since I began playing Deerfield (and Wildwood) regularly. These are special courses with picturesque, intelligently designed holes that offer elevation shifts, technical challenges, tight windows, and the occasional Beast Mode opportunity!
Cement pads with both long and short tees means solid footing and hole variety!
Notable holes: 5 & 14 are epic for long distance drives; the tunnel of trees on 13

Another fantastic layout! The wooded front nine rewards players who are technically sound, while the back nine opens up a bit for some bomber action. Well designed with elevation shifts, it doesn't get much better than Wildwood!
Cement pads with both long and short tees means solid footing and hole variety!
Notable holes: 8 is arguably the hardest hole between the two courses; the space around 10's basket is an aesthetic achievement; 11 makes me feel like I'm discing in the Shire

I love this course, wish it was closer so having to pay to get in wasn't as big of a deal. Only about two holes I could do without, love the technical greens that are in play, even though once during this round a bird turned into a bogey.

I am very lucky to call these courses my home courses. They offer a variety of different shots, with lots of elevation change. Both courses have a few bomber holes, tight fairways, anyhyzer and hyzer shots, and ace runs. The fairways are always kept clean and offer some beautiful views. If you have not checked these courses out, you should!

Deerfield is the most balanced course that I have played. You need to bring every aspect of your game if you want to shoot well here. The course allows both forehand and backhand shots on every hole. The only thing that would make this course better would be some more cooperation from the parks department, and some more holes
+1 votes Rick Amrstrong › Deerfield › May 21, 2012
I love this course! Being a native of Mt. Pleasant does make me biased, and since my alternative is the CMU course, this looks even better by comparison. Based in a county park, this course is very well maintained. The fairways are always well mowed, and the rough is usually open enough to make finding a wayward disc unproblematic.
Wonderful vistas of the wooded park only add to the wonderful diversity of shots necessary to score well on this course. It requires that nigh impossible combinat ...

A really great technical course in Mount Pleasant, mostly wooded with lots of elevation changes. Everything is extremely well maintained, two 18 basket courses intertwined but well marked paths and tee signs made it easy. This course was a bit less difficult than Wildwood, but both were fun.
+1 votes Josh Webbert › Deerfield › August 28, 2011
Excellent course. Love what the parks crew have done to keep it in shape. Several tight fairways that reward you for hitting your lines, and slap ya upside the face for not. Water comes into to play on one hole. Downside, tons of poison ivy which although is clearly marked for player safety, I feel they could easily get rid of it. All and all impressed
+1 votes Sebastian Hohl › Deerfield › October 7, 2013
GREAT GREAT Course!! If for some reason you don't like the first well balanced course, there's another full 18 right next door for you to play and attempt to conquer. Designers did a fantastic job with both 18's and made them both fair for beginner tees and also pro tees. Both 18's offer a challenge and wonderful day of discing for all skills. Yes there is a 6$ charge per car, but it's MORE than worth it, especially if 6 people are in the car. 6 bucks gets you in the park all day. Go play

Nice mix of long, open holes that favor big arms and attackable holes off the tee that demand accuracy. Fair but challenging to shoot par due to consequences of gunning for big drives through tight trees. Early contact with shrubbery will add some strokes!!

This course is great, not sure I can say it's with the tops in the state since I have played so few courses but with 2 courses on the property it rivals some of my favorites like Fallasburg Park in Lowell, MI or Burchfield Park in Holt, MI. I would say it's even better than BBG (beauty/Beast/Goliath) or Flip City over by Lake Michigan (Flip is still rated #1 MI on here). The parking fee is worth making a day of this place. Also worthy to note that when they built the Wildwood course, many of the ...

The original course on the property and it is still fantastic. Where Wildwood has a defined wooded front 9 and open back 9, Deerfield changes it up on you on every tee, Having a big downhill bomber hole on number 5, followed by 3 very technical, tightly wooded fairways. This course keeps you on your toes, but will help you back up when you fall. Just such perfect mix of technicality, and strokes separation. Come find these 2 gems, tucked away and the heart of the mitten!

This is by far my favorite park in the area. I live in the heart of mt pleasant and will drive past the CMU course to play here. The short tee pads are friendly for every player and the longs add a nice challenge to more experienced players. Deerfield has it all when it comes to a disc golf course. Tight technical shots, to open bombers. Nice mix of forehand, backhand holes and great mix of elevation. Play both courses in the same day if you have time.

Well designed and layout. Thought and hard work has paid off to make this a great course. Tee pads are cement and long. Clearly, mark signs lead you from one tee pad to the next. Log benches at each pad and the embossed Wildwood on the end of each pad is classy. Deerfield and Wildwood will rival other highly rated courses to be in the top ten courses in Michigan definitely. Will see about the country.

This course is hands down the best course in Michigan. It has TONS of the fun factor that I always need, but also TONS of the WOW factor. Every hole is like WOW!. Elevations changes are off the charts. Water hazards. Basket mounted up in a boulder. Double tee boxes that have WILDWOOD written in cursive in the front of them. Awesome teepads! Blind baskets.

Course was amazing. Didn't get to finish it all due to daylight. But very easy to navigate even without the map on the back of the scorecard. Played from the longs for my first round there and overall I have to say the course was quite challenging but not discouraging. Well maintained, every hole has at least a line or two. Very clean course. I don't see how I could give it anything less than an A+. Will definitely be going back to play very soon!

Beautiful Course! Not much nature was cut down to build the course, but the upkeep and overall quality of every hole is remarkable. It takes you to the future of what Disc Golf will be like in 10-15 years from now. Hole #18 is worth the drive, unloading bag, and losing a disc in attempt to ACE!

Wildwood has great presentation. Tee pads are engraved with the name, great signage everywhere, well groomed, and a fun layout. Up and down hills in the woods, it reminds me of some traditional courses. Some of the basket locations can lead to getting "de la'd" as we saw a few putts hit wrong and roll 50' down a hill into the trees.

Extremely technical but never unforgiving. The front 9 are heavily wooded, forcing certain shot shapes to really test your game and disc selection, bust out your midranges. The back 9 really opens up more to allow you to let loose and really reward a clean front 9 with an attackable back 9. Give this one just a little extra for all the rough to really be cleaned out and it could easily rival Flip.

Again, I was impressed by how well this course was maintained - mowed fairways, raked greens, not much trash, etc.

Very cool Course. Although the layout is a bit confusing, the Course is well marked. Be aware though that ALL the Holes had a Long AND Short Tee. There are some really short Holes that were fun to play as well as challenging (for RHBH) left to right Holes through Trees. My biggest complaint was the Tee Boxes, although very nice, seemed short by a few feet, proving sketchy. You ALSO will have to pay to get in the Park itself, but the Course is definitely worth it!
