Justin Trails

First of all the land this two course setup is on is breath taking . Two hundred acres of wooded hills some peak at 1100 feet (western hills of wis .untouched by glaciers) nice and secluded . Big brother hole one is flat a strait ,open drive that would be easy if it wasn't 1025 ft hole 2 is 339 uphill hole3 is 400ft mostly downhill then up into the woods holes 4 and 5 go up an old dirt logging type road it seems you walk uphill forever till you reach the tee pad of hole 6 but when you do you ...

Big brother hole one is flat a strait ,open drive that would be easy if it wasn't 1025 ft hole 2 is 339 uphill hole3 is 400ft mostly downhill then up into the woods holes 4 and 5 go up an old dirt logging type road it seems you walk uphill forever till you reach the tee pad of hole 6 but when you do you are at the summet of a 1100 ft hill . Stop and take in the view it's only hole 6 and it's about to get interesting . You will see tight wooded fairways with tones of trees for your hitting pleasure . Near vertical uphill shots , drives across valleys. You can hit a tree and roll hundreds of feet down hill and lots of baskets on hills DO NOT miss your putt ! This is not a normal course it is a right of passage in a beautiful Forrest and the fee is the best 5$ I have spent in a long time ! The 635 ft down hill shot on 18 is a great way to end it.

Big Brother really is a big course. I felt that some of the holes were unnecessarily long. 1000+ ft on the first hole is really a long haul. Also it appears that when the course was designed they focused a lot on preserving the natural area. With this in mind many shots play down existing hiking trails 6' wide and occasionally down smaller footpaths. Baskets in the woods are placed on top of mounds or high above the path and makes seeing them and accessing them difficult at times. I also found t ...

Big Brother really is a big course. I felt that some of the holes were unnecessarily long. 1000+ ft on the first hole is really a long haul. Also it appears that when the course was designed they focused a lot on preserving the natural area. With this in mind many shots play down existing hiking trails 6' wide and occasionally down smaller footpaths. Baskets in the woods are placed on top of mounds or high above the path and makes seeing them and accessing them difficult at times. I also found the provided map on the scorecard slightly confusing at times as both courses as well as all trails on the property were printed on a small 5x7 card.

Overall the course is great and offers excellent views and a good variety of shots but I feel I would have enjoyed the course a little more if I didn't feel like I had to throw for max distance with every throw.

Wow! I played these courses in 2009--it was incredible! In 2015 it felt like home. It played, looked, and smelled better than before(complemented by the hard working owners). The combination of the two courses combined with the work of the fine people who own/run this property makes this course Wisconsin's own disc golf field of dreams! This is a professional course. Well maintained VERY narrow fairways and tucked away baskets through rolling forest and open rolling meadows. Ponds come into ...

Wow! I played these courses in 2009--it was incredible! In 2015 it felt like home. It played, looked, and smelled better than before(complemented by the hard working owners).

This is a professional course. Well maintained VERY narrow fairways and tucked away baskets through rolling forest and open rolling meadows. Ponds come into play on a few of the holes. Elevation is a factor on every hole except for the 1026ft first hole). Rough is unforgiving. Lines from the teepad have to be made.

Considering it takes 3 hours for us to arrive at Justin Trails and knowing that we had to finish both Classic and Big Brother in 4.5 hours(To have enough time to play 2 courses on the MN side of the Mississippi). Classic was awesome and just right. Big brother was tough and unforgiving.

The teepads and benches/sitting areas are great. The baskets are forgiving. The greens and finding the basket(even from the teepads) can be tough.

Both my friend and I did finish both of the courses in 4.5 hours to the surprise of a younger gentleman in the proshop. A group of 3 started on Big brother the same time we started Classic. By the time we were on 18 of Big brother.. We had to wait for the only other people on the course:) we played 2 courses in the time they played one!!

That's how tough this course can be. Beautifully maintained tough fairways. Rough rough and rough greens. Make your line, watch your disc, and make your putt on this course.

The only con I have with this course.. Only con. I know you are trying to preserve the natural land. I love that! But please, some flags or long bright colored poles on top of the baskets and or sticks or stumps pointing out the baskets from the teepad. (For the travelers ;)
