Brandon walker

We found them on a Monday night!!!

Wade TF

Thank you sir! This course is a gem.

Ric Evans

Thanks Brendan - we're super proud of it, and stoked you enjoy it!!

Jason McCary

Sounds like a long round, follow the Charlevoix Discgolf Club on Face book, they'll find em

Adam Matthews

Yeah... I wish I could. I don’t have Facebook. Someone found the Havoc and messaged me. Didn’t know I had my name written on it.

Dan Bellmer

Yes

Nick Pacific

Thanks, I know you get snow up there pretty early so wasn't sure when the 3 or so holes get pulled for that

Dan Bellmer

Prolly end of oct...keep on checking

Nick Pacific

Will be there Monday the 22nd. Leave them in for me!

Steve Nolff

Just played there on the 12th, Nick. Course looked great and all pins were in. Had a nice escort from a big redtail hawk for about 6 holes. Tell him I said hi.

Nick Pacific

Thanks Steve I'll be on the lookout him, can't wait to ascend McSauba again and I'm getting into the 60s this time

Nick Pacific

I got a nice pic of that hawk Steve, he was out and about eating up all the gardner snakes I saw out there

Steve Nolff

Outstanding!!

Sammy "Two Toes" Kantola

Yes sir!

Steve Nolff

Thanks Two Toes!!

Does This course...

Ric Evans

Sure does and sure is! There are several of the last holes that are closed during day-camp hours (holes 14 &16-19 are closed from 8a-3p), and there should be maps and scorecards at the main sign at Hole 1. Tear it up!

ken "sega salt" moote

Thanks!

Nick Pacific

Did some digging around. http://charlevoix.recdesk.com/recdeskportal/ Looks like the camp starts June 14. I assume that holes #14 & 16-18 are CLOSED for play until 3pm Mon - Fri?

Aaron K.

Yes, all baskets are in which includes a 2.5 hole to make 20 total. Short and long tees on 11 of them. Not sure of the day camp schedule. Hole 13-20 are closed when camp open.

Aaron K.

sorry, that is 13-19

Nick Pacific

Ok thanks Aaron. The website says June 14, so essentially stay home before 3pm from the sounds of it. Thanks again.

Ric Evans

I think they are allowing folks to play 13 & 15 to play out, but it's 100% open after 3pm M-F & Sat & Sun!...

Nick Pacific

Thanks Ric. Will be my 4th trip up there, what an incredible piece of land you local disc golfers get to play on (free). I feel compelled to give something back, is there a way I can donate something to course funds, like a disc for a CTP for an upcoming event or something along those lines?

Ric Evans

That's killer Nick - much appreciated! We love it and feel really lucky to play there! We've been really putting in lots of time on tee's this year, and have lots more benches going in, too. And we've got the July 16 Venetian Double coming up if you'd like to donate to a ctp for that, that'd be great!

Jason McCary

I'll be there Monday...Grip-n-Rip!!

Nick Pacific

Wade there are two spots that tripped us up last time we were there. One of the holes is missing a long tee, it is the one that shoots alongside the road with the residential houses to the right and the small cabin by the basket. That, and around hole 7 or so there is a long walk in which you circle ... more

Wade there are two spots that tripped us up last time we were there. One of the holes is missing a long tee, it is the one that shoots alongside the road with the residential houses to the right and the small cabin by the basket. That, and around hole 7 or so there is a long walk in which you circle back. Sorry working off memory from the 1 time I was there last year. Hopefully you run into a local who can show you around, it is a little hard to find your way around. Enjoy, I'm jealous, McSauba has no rival in Michigan, you will enjoy the challenge I'm sure.

Nick Pacific

Looks like dgcourse review has photos of the holes/tee signs, this will be helpful http://www.dgcoursereview.com/view_image.php?id=6348&p=031b7a99

Matt Oller

It's a nice course. The views make up for the long walks.

Collins Bolinger

There is a large sign at the beginning of the course. Take a picture of that with your phone. It is true that the signage isn't great but this course is rad. The holes vary from open to wooded and there are some huge elevation changes. The course isn't as developed as some of the older courses in the area but it's not that hard to follow.

Dave Weber

I was out there Thursday. They are working on the course so some of the holes are not up yet. When you get to the top of the hill, go off the back of the hill toward the houses. The long hole towards the water had no basket at the bottom. Also, the hole by the road still had standing water. On the h ... more

I was out there Thursday. They are working on the course so some of the holes are not up yet. When you get to the top of the hill, go off the back of the hill toward the houses. The long hole towards the water had no basket at the bottom. Also, the hole by the road still had standing water. On the hole towards the houses, they set up the basket on a snow hill which was pretty cool. The following hole was not set up either so I just skipped it. They are working every Monday to get this course ready for the season. They are doing outstanding work for a very difficult course. Hole 3 is amazing compared to last year. Hope this helps and have a great round!

Hey Wade - I can't figure out how to post a scorecard or map on this site that is easily linked to, but our club facebook page has both a map and a scorecard on it. Hole #6 (the big rip down the back hill) is the only one without a basket at this point, but there are a couple signs still missi ... more

Hey Wade - I can't figure out how to post a scorecard or map on this site that is easily linked to, but our club facebook page has both a map and a scorecard on it. Hole #6 (the big rip down the back hill) is the only one without a basket at this point, but there are a couple signs still missing, too (we've been finding them in the woods around the holes...). It's a long and tough course, but I concur with the other comments - well worth the hike - the views are second to none, and there are some killer par 4's out there, too! Here's a link to the scorecards & map: https://www.facebook.com/Chain-O-Lakes-Disc-Golf-Club-183562118358604/ And we do hope to have these at the main sign by hole #1 very soon - have fun - beautiful day to be out there!!

Wade TF

so, the best shot on the whole course has no basket. damn.

Wade TF

i appreciate the feedback everyone. review will follow my round(s) today

Ric Evans

The course will be in much better shape in 2 weeks, and if you are still around Monday - come on out for our workbee and doubles league! And maybe I'll just run a temp basket and some scorecards up there right now...so maybe I'll see you up there...

Jason McCary

Fun times

Ric Evans

Good stuff indeed! Cheers all!

Jason McCary

I'm down, love this course

Ric Evans

heck yeah, mang...

Jason McCary

I'm down help with some leagues structure too.

Ric Evans

Awesome - we should have a meeting soon - I've been talking with Sammy K & Mike G about all this, and we are hoping to all work together to get this course & local players all rockin' it! See you Monday!
