An awesome course for the Flint area. Good layout and mix of shots. Some long holes favor the big arms but also manageable with accurate throws for those limited to 300 foot drives like me. I was pleasantly surprised that even though the river is a threat on multiple holes, it can be avoided with decent shots. The rough is challenging on holes 12-16 but I easily found the few discs I threw in it. Overall, this course is definitely a nice mix of Firefighters and Frankenmuth (stated in a prior rev ...

This was a really great place for a temp course, would be happy to see this one go in permanently. First Flint Town Flyerz tournament actually in Flint. Lots of longer drives, several over the Flint River. A couple with the river behind for some scary OB, plenty of discs were lost. Giving this a B+ but could easily be higher with permanent baskets that were all the same and a little care. I'd go A+ if someone would fix up the Pro Shop and make it a disc golf shop, and rent out a few golf carts!

Played it the second day it was in. Overall a pretty solid course. Old golf course land so not the most technically challenging course I have ever played. Most of the challenge comes from the length with multiple holes being over 400' and a few probably close to 800'. No absurdly short holes to be found. Walks between pads aren't too bad and will work well for tourney flow. Signs weren't up while I was there which made things a little more difficult but it was a good experience anyways.

Good change up for the area considering most courses around here are wooded. The signage and tee pads are the best around and the river playing into a few holes is cool. The tall grass/rough on the back 9 eats discs and gets a little aggravating. Some of the field holes could be a little more creative but nice open park course.

Old ball golf courses can be pretty cool. To mind comes The Ponds & Paw Paw (formerly known as Macatawa). Generally, the one thing that will be lacking is elevation. On Mott, there is one elevated shot, hole 17. I liked it, even though it was a windy day that was slapping my discs in all kinds of different directions. What it lacked in elevation, it certainly made up for in water hazards. There is a river running through the park & separates some of the course. It comes into play a few ti ...

This course was built on an old golf course and is a very long, open, throw farther than you can see, type of course. These types of courses are never my favorite, and most casuals, beginners, alztimers, am4's, women, and children will not like this course. But most seasoned discer's, esp. those with big arms are gonna love it. Hole 1 is a hyzer shot to the basket tucked in by the river, cool. Hole two is an unremarkable slight uphill ,wide open shot, my only deuce. Hole 3 is an anny preferred s ...

Great mix of long holes and some shorter holes.Most holes over 250 feet.water hazards and trees will make you choose your shots wisely.Ace potential on some holes.smooth cement tee pads.We have needed a course like this around the Flint area for years!

The course went in on October 7th, 2017. There isn't a lot of obstacles to work with on the land, it what is there was utilized well. A good mix of 300ft (give or take) and big long shots (450+). It is a one of a kind course in our area with it's mix of big arm throws that will require players to actually aim for places to land before throwing to the basket. Also good use of the flint river as OB on two river crossing shots and a few baskets close to it. Concrete tee pads. A few holes have long walks to the new teepads, but they aren't too bad.

This should be an easy a+ definitely the best that the area has to offer once some nicer tee signs are installed definitely a+ and not to mention free of charge to play. Nice long cement tees and good holes making use of the trees river and lay of the land with the distances. Nice out of bounds roughs on the back that some people need to realize should be rough and punishing this makes the course a challenge. Only good things to say here the years of league donations have went to a superb cause ...

Great job, Good Call and Mark. Good place to just let 'em rip. And a course in Flint city limits is great for the community. It's a lot to maintain, but regular mowing will make this a favorite for many, I'm sure.

Some fun initial holes, but most of the course is in a field with more signage needed for direction. If you're looking for distance holes, it could be your spot, but it wasn't ours.

This course is great, and has endless potential. There are a lot of long bomber holes, but a fair share of ace runs and must get birdies. The river and butterfly sanctuary add to the beauty of this place, but will punish you big time for a bad shot. The new short tees are going to make it even more enjoyable for more people. Beware of mud and flooding if its wet out.

I really enjoy the golf course feel of this place. I can envision the clubhouse being open one day with a full bar and proshop. This place would be a destination if that were the case. Also I can see this being a great place for tournament play, witht the 18th green having a nice place for spectators to enjoy the winners final putt. Great job guys!

Great use of the space, fun holes, and great tee pads. The best way to describe it is it's like a mix between frankenmuth and firefighters.

Much better than expected. Long open shots, be prepared to let them rip. I didnt get the golf course feel but the course was not short. Watch out for that river!

Love the course. I am still new to disc golf so my arm is not ready for the big shots. i max out around 350 my average shot is 275-300. The over the river shots are so awesome. I am lucky that i have not lost a disc here yet. I would like to see benches and trash cans on every hole. other than that thanks for a great course thats closer to home.

A great course installed and funded by some great people. It was an awesome idea to use the old ball golf course and bringing people back out there. This course is a lot of fun and has several different challenges. Nice tee pads, signs, and baskets. Better have a big arm or some of the holes par might be out of reach.. Love the over the river shots. Downfall is the flooding in the spring. We will have to wait for a dry spell in order for it to be playable in the summer.

My kids and I are new to the sport but we absolutely love it and we absolutely love Mott Park DGC. It has a perfect mix of shorter holes and longer ones and lots of open ground to practice distance drives. The Flint River flows gently through the center of the course and offers great water challenges. The meadow sections are full of butterflies and wild flowers. The open sections are long and offer the perfect setting to show off your long throw abilities. I grew up a few blocks from here, and o ...

I love Mott Park. Want to play 9 holes? You can do that. Want to throw far? Plenty of room for that. Want technical risk/reward shots? The back 9 have you covered. Only detriment is how nasty some of the thick stuff can be.

Overall a decent experience. Long Holes so make sure you have the energy to do 490 feet par 3's the entire day. Most holes on the back 9 were long and strait. Did have good detailed hole descriptions. Nice being next to the river almost the entire time. 6/10

Josh Russell's review is very detailed and accurate. He calls most holes either cool, very cool, or WAY COOL, but arrives at a B- rating. This is a course that favors big arms and those looking for respite from woods golf. It is well designed for the land, and well maintained. I'm not a fan of some of the new baskets on 4, 7, and 12 though, but the new basket location on 6 is great.

Nice course. Unfortunately, my 225-255 foot drives are pretty much useless here given the lack of short tees on the majority of holes, so I have no birdie opportunities whatsoever. For that reason, I give this place a B+ since it only caters to the big arms.
