First time playing here. Great mix of holes/shots in nice, shady tree-lined corridors. The red topped Chainstars are a lot easier to spot in the woods than the standard gray ones. It really hits you in the gut when you don't get the birdies on the shorter holes, since many are 300+. Holes 11 and 13 were my favorites, also the two longest I believe. A lot more elevation change than I expected here, compared to the Original course. The only negatives were that although most of the holes had "Next ...

The OG course in Kingsley never disappoints. Over the 18 holes, you will get a chance to try a variety of drives, upshots, and putts from all sorts of arm angles. And while it is heavily wooded, especially on the back 9, there is also lots of opportunities for birds and rescue shots.

Challenging, fair, and well designed wooded and semi technical course with a variety of holes. Sandy and wood chipped fairways. Just the right amount of fairway trees requiring the shaping of shots. More than one line on the majority of holes. Thoughtful baskets placements with a few that are elevated. I particularly liked the keg elevated basket. The rough is forgiving as far as scrambling and locating discs. Trees line the fairways on both sides. Pretty course. I was surprised that bugs were n ...

Played my first round here while visiting the area. Great course, awesomely manicured, great mix of challenges and shot types. It was challenging in a great way but not daunting and impossible.

Course starts off with open field shots in the front 9 which the other course lacks. Back 9 is a more technical wood course as a whole than The Bear's Den. Some teepads and baskets are in really rough condition, and signage was almost non-existent.

Best course I've played in the state. Best signage, tee pads, and course layout with a lot of variance of short/long holes, dogleg left/right, etc, in the woods. Course has Discraft Chainstar Pros. Rough is almost non-existent so there is no worry of losing a disc.

The one improvement the course could use is better direction between holes. The "Next Hole" signs are placed terribly.

Fun course with great teepads & baskets and decent signage. Good variety of long and short holes, with as much elevation worked in as possible. I'll give it a better rating once some of the stumps disappear.

Played in July 2020. Course is in fantastic condition with new tee pads, signs, and baskets. Wood chips still coat the fairways making for a very clean look. Course has a fun mix of shot requirements, forehand and backhand, including some wider fairways for big drives and narrow tunnels requiring accuracy. Could be a little confusing at times to find the next tee, but it wasn't too big an issue with UDisc. Really enjoyable course I'd play often if it were in my city.

Amazing course! Great fairways and pin placements. Decent signage to direct from hole to hole. Basket elevated with kegs... The Bear's Den is something special.

If I could only play one location for the rest of my life, I’d be content with the two courses at Kingsley.

1st 8 holes are confusing to follow without a map. I didn't have access to one. Good variety of holes 8-18, and easy to follow along the path. Accuracy is a must. Some technical tight lines. No water hazards. A top 3 TC course. Good course for 2 quick rounds, with limited traffic.

Enjoyable course. We were camping at Interlaken and it's just a quick trip over to this course. As mentioned the front has some slight elevation but is very open. The back is wooded but many of the holes have reasonable shooting lanes. One guardian tree and then you're clear on many holes. Udisc map makes things look tighter than they are but is great for finding baskets. Tee pads are cement at least. Trash bins on every hole. We'll groomed. Baskets are in good shape. Could use better signage at the pads but the drawing in the 4x4 gives a rough idea at least. Little gem of a course!

concrete tees but kinda short some are not level and noticable, benches and small trash cans and clean. tee signs are not all accurate. a very nice course definately worth a trip. starts open and then gets technical (woody) longer in the open and not as much in the woods.

An easy course to walk that makes good use of the little elevation changes it does have. A good variety of different shot angles and lengths makes it a good course for beginners and one where more advanced players can show off a bit.

Kingsley is my home course; first 7 holes longer and open, 8-18 are shorter and much tighter. A few elevation changes here and there but none too severe. Not an overly difficult course but if you're missing your lines the bogeys (or worse) are sure to follow, especially on the back nine.

Jason truly doesn't know what he is talking about . This is a nice beginners course in a tiny little town and they are lucky to have it. The course is well thought out for the space given. Mostly longer open holes on the front nine and tight woods ( pines ) holes on the back nine. It can be a little difficult finding the next tee so I gave the caretakers a suggestion of painting one of the bars on the basket with bright colored paint that would direct you to the next tee. Lets see if they actual ...

I was not impressed at all with this course, the biggest challenge was finding the next hole. No "Next Tee" signs to aid in navigation, just a bad layout in my opinion, shoot this lane then go right, shoot that lane then go left. Bla..Bla...Bla..sorry to be so negative, but I would not make the drive again to a course that the best part about it was the Chainstar baskets!

I really like this course. It has a variety of hole types. There are several pretty open holes, several with just a few trees, several that are heavily populated with trees but have a designated lane, then there are a few that you just throw and pray it makes it through :-) All in all it is a great course as you get to practice many different shots.

Good clear field holes for long power shots, and some woods to make it a challenge. If your new to the course, visit the park attendant and they will give you a map. Nicely mowed and clean, and less traffic if you start before noon on Saturday and Sundays.

Great course. First 7 holes mostly open, next 11 holes (except hole 11) are all in the woods. Mostly flat with very little elevation changes. Good course for beginners. Well maintained. Excellent winter course.

A good par 3 course. If the front seems to be kicking your butt, the back gives you a few holes, with accurate throws, an opportunity to bring your score back down. Great up-keep, and a deceptive sized course with a fairly modest footprint.

Get a course map or you will tee off to the wrong basket at least once if not more. Layout can be somewhat confusing so be sure and find the grounds keeper (rv next to the tennis courts) and ask for a course map. Very well maintained course, no drinking and no smoking rules combined with the constant presence of the grounds keepers means you don't have a bunch of drunk casuals messing up the place. As for how the course plays, the front 9 are all open holes with few trees or many other obstacles ...

This a great course for golfers of all skills. Amateurs will like the short distances and easy shots. Pros will like the chance to easily score double digits under par and many ace runs. The course is well kept by the civic center attendants and signage and cement tees on each hole are nice. This course is generally not ever crowded and makes for a relaxed round. Being mostly flat makes for an easy walk and easy navigation. Overall this is a great course for anyone.
