A tale of two nines...the front nine has elevation changes, tough shots and terrain, and you play real close to other fairways and players for the first few holes. The back nine opens up a little bit more and feels more like an established course. That first nine is an experience though...it's like they had to put in holes around the walking trails and rough terrain, you have to plan each shot and execute...or you'll end up with 5s, 6s, or even 8's (like I did on #9)

Ten years later and thanks to the current generation of volunteers, this course is still a blast and a draw for disc golfers in West Michigan.
+5 votes Bob Knapp › December 15, 2022
Great course. A few ridiculous basket locations and lengthy holes in the woods, but really worth playing. The cement pads and alternate pins have made this course one of the best in the area.
+5 votes Philip “Flip” Balger Scott › December 15, 2022
One of Michigan’s very best course. Extremely well maintained. Practice baskets. Alternate pin placements. Massive elevation changes provide a high fitness environment. Greenery abounds Hammond Hill so be prepared to spot when you can and make sure to bring your all around game. Looking to stretch out your round? There are plenty of comfortable accommodations along the track for players to rest up and maybe take in exceptional lake views. Creative seating arrangements along with multiple bench ...

Always a work in progress. Thanks to all who have helped or donated for this course. South West Michigan needs it.

To have a good time at this course you have to start with the back 9. It is mostly open fields and out of the woods. on the other hand the front 9 is deep into the woods. you will need to ware pants because of the thorn bushes and bugs. the great thing about this course is the people who play it. I have lost 3 discs there and each time I lost one I've gotten a call the day of or the day right after. It is such a friendly scene!

Hammond Hill is a must play now. Many course improvements over the last year: cement pads, signs, rocks (like flip city) and timber lining trails between holes. Great variety or woods, open, elevation, challenging pin placements. Naturally beautiful course with holes that are fun and make you think. PLAY HAMMOND HILL!

the hammond hill huckers want you to know that we plan to add 6 new holes this summer, and start working on a new 24 hole course lay out in our back 40 acre,s.we need your help, you can be a hucker too! get out and play

Love Hammond Hill! Perhaps being a local makes me biased but who cares tons of improvements have been done since its creation a few years ago and more to come. As has been stated the course offers a variety of birdie opportunities and almost all holes can be par if you plan and execute well. A definite must play. If you haven't been to Hammond recently come check it out again.

Great course! I love to travel & play new courses and this was a hidden gem. Good variety of hole length. Good course for drive, fairway drive, app, & putting. Great design. I brought my 1 yr/old, and course is not too stroller friendly. Also, bring your hiking shoes & lots of H2o! Would highly recommend!

Long. Very forgiving fairways. Elevation on every hole but hole 18. Young long armers are gunna love this place. After playing here twice I had to give it an A. Doesn't play to my strengths, yet it's a lot of fun. Great course.

Beautiful course with lots of elevation change. Pins were in the short placement, still provided a good challenge. A variety of shots. Hole 13 is great!

Really well thought out coarse design. Multiple tees, multiple pin locations. Good for a righty or lefty. No water hazards. The locals are friendly and allowed us to play with there group.

Like the course, good for long arms! Grass and foliage was a bit long, lost my Pro Destroyer on 16. A father's day gift from my son... Love the course, just wish it was closer to my home.

Great piece of land. Hole design is artful. Michigan plantlife is usually in constant struggle with people's effort to beat-in a disc golf course. Volunteer crew efforts are showing nicely, including crafty rest spots. Pin placements vary to give repeat players a different challenge. More play will bring better play. I'll put this course on my second-circle of local courses.

Excellent course with lots of variety. Pin locations change frequently making this very enjoyable and challenging from month to month. Elevation is very good on quite a few holes along with tree/brush obsticles.
+1 votes Christopher Jones › July 17, 2012
You can definitely tell this course was built on top of old hiking trails. The first few holes feel like they were just squeezed in there but it really starts to become more thought out as you get further through. It's got a great variety in elevation, trees vs. open holes and left/right/straight shots. You'll feel like you've been hiking when you finally finish so bring some good shoes. The long tees are very nice cement slabs. When I played the short tees were vaguely marked with a stick and t ...

alot of sweet holes from a variety of elevation changes. no real easy birds and no impossible pars. very fair yet challenging course. Fairways well kept but rough can get kinda rough in some spots but all around worth the 1 hour trip for me.

Great course! Hammond HILLS is an appropriate name seeing as you are almost never on flat ground. The front 9 is a classic hilly, tightly wooded, wonderfully challenging course. The back 9 is almost completely opposite with nice rolling hills on openish holes. Don't relax though because the pin placements ( especially on B layout) are purposefully tough, usually lying behind tree bunches or around blind corners. So bring a guide or walk up alot. The different basket positions are fun and keep it ...

Great course to play with someone to spot throws I would not play alone you could be looking for your disc instead of playing the course.

This is an extremely fun and challenging course. They change the baskets up every so often which makes it a little different each time. The fairways were freshly mowed and there was hardly anyone else there meaning no waiting to throw. Overall one of my favorites thus far!! We will be back.

Fantastic course! It is a monster to walk through (pretty much treat it like you are hiking through a nature trail). Really fun to play, challenging holes, pretty surroundings. The only reason it is not an A is because it can be a little difficult to see where some of the baskets are. I can't wait to play again!

Hands down the best layout I have ever played, all of the holes were challenging yet never unfair, lots of tricky lines and some good elevation. Rewards a well rounded game and rewards the ability to scramble. Only flaws I have is that the sinage could be better and I think it would be smart to have two baskets on each hole instead of rotating through the pin positions each month

Playing longs to longs was a very nice challenge, the course was nicely maintained. The Cement tee-pads was nice. All the signs were easy to follow. Keep up the good work whom ever is working on this course I recall it 2 years ago and it was horrible.
+0 votes Matt Toy › August 20, 2024
Not only a well balanced course for Righty's and Lefty's...it has the challenge of elevation change in every hole. It would be tough to design a better course for the land that was provided. Front nine is heavily wooded, the back nine is mainly open shots. I like the differences in both front and back. Tall grass can make it difficult to see off the fairway on the back holes. Send a spotter. It is about 30 minutes from Grand Rapids, and 45 Minutes from Lansing, well worth the drive!

Fun course with tough long pin position and fun short pins that get changed monthly and has a good amount of elevation change

This course is about 40 miles straight west of Lansing. Has excellent layout with ups and downs, Hyzer and anhyzer. There is a posting at the start of the course where the tees are playing from and to. October is Long pads to Alternating Long / Short pins and played tough still. They change up the Tees or baskets once a month and post this on the sign by hole 1. Make sure you read this sign before playing.
There is another way to tell which pin you're throwing to. There is a hole for a small ...

Overall very nice course...was a little confusing as first timers which way to go for next hole. We were able to navigate but if you are looking for constructive criticism to boost the rating to an "A" that would be my suggestion.
+0 votes Corey Alberda › May 2, 2012
One of the best courses I've thrown at. Very well kept and very little litter. Majority of the holes are distance drives with several technical holes thrown in. A couple of the baskets are hard to locate and the signs don't help. Other than that the course flows nicely.

Played Hammond Hill for the first time this weekend and really enjoyed it! Make sure to bring a spotter if you're new to the course as there are many blind shots. Beware, the mosquitoes are horrible here, as well as the brush/rough along the fairways. Lost one of my favorite drivers on the course but that will not deter me from coming to play again. This is a nice gem hidden in the middle of nowhere (like most great courses). Great use of land for a course. Direction signs between holes would be quite helpful as well.

I had a fun time here. Shots of all kinds to be had here. I was really impressed by some holes. Nice course, look forward to coming back someday.

There have been a lot of improvements made here. The addition of the short tees, a staircase on hole one leading down to the basket(tremendous help!) Brand new baskets, next tee signs. The course is well manicured and from what I have heard from the locals. The voltunteers went through and sprayed the course for mosquitos. This is one of the nicest courses in south west lower Michigan.

I LOVE this place! It has a little bit of everything from elevation to flat holes, to some technical shots to some open drives! Holes for lefty, right, or side arms, as well as anything in between!
The course is very well maintained, the stairs, wood structures, benches, are also an amazing highlight to this little slice of heaven! There isn't a course around that's as well maintained as this one.
I highly recommend Hammond Hill to the beginner as well as the professional! You even ...

I had to play my round here on a time crunch. I was almost head over heals for this course on the first hole. There must be a trick to navigating that hill, but I tried actually walking down the fairway and was lucky to stay upright. Super dangerous...
Other than that, I really enjoyed this course. The long tee pads are all concrete and even though signs showed a second basket location for each hole, it looks like just the short baskets are in the ground.
There were a great mix of elev ...

Nice variety of shots needed to get through this course. only golfers on course a plus no pedestrians to get in way. nice pads and tee signs. will give anyone who is out of shape a good workout from just walking the course. The rough can get real bad from the looks of it. would bring bug spray. but all in all a great course.

Pin locations for longs are great. Course is very well maintained. There's always something that's been improved every time I go. Wood chips on hole 1 allows you to walk down the hill. Clearing on 15 is what all wooded holes should look like (clear out the small crap and leave everything that's a couple inches thick). Honestly after playing it yesterday, this may be my second favorite course behind BlueGill.

Great course, just tall weeds and small tree/bush clusters mixed with blind tee shots = no fun. This course is just too huge to constantly keep it well-manicured. Even on a good shot, you could still take a long time looking for your disc.

Front 9 was fun to play. Back 9 sucked my a$$. Weeds were to tall. Lost 2 discs. Legs got all tore up looking for them. Fairways were only mowed 2 feet wide. Pins were put in ridicules spots. None of the sign had what par was. The score card box was at the end of the 1st hole which of coarse was empty.

I just played there on 5/16/13 the fairways unmowed so many masqetos, was ate alive at 11 am in the morning, Grass is getting way to tall, spent more time looking for disc then throwing and was in the fairway. worst outing of the year. I will not be back till the fall
