I have played a number of courses around the state and have to say this is one of my favorites. Yes the grass and weeds can get tough to find your disc in at times but the change in scenery is awesome. there is a hole here for everyone be it long or short.

A fantastic course, and it's only going to get better I think. Great use of natural terrain, a true gem in the north. The only thing I noticed is a few of the gravel t-boxes were getting rutted out. (a few fund-raiser events could pay for cement tee pads' ...where do we send donations??? :)

18 holes with long and short tees on each make for 2 totally different rounds. Every shot from the tee to the basket retains technical elements and a round never gets boring or repetitive, a thinking man's disc golf course! Some walking paths get slippery when wet so be careful between the holes. A few more signature holes, elevation changes and/or long bombs and it'd be an A+ but that's an unavoidable byproduct of the land...

Short hike from campus and full of beautiful scenery. It's technical which I like. 7 can be treacherous if you throw a little far, there's a bit of a cliff off the back of the dogleg, or you can try to tomahawk over the top and cut the corner. I love this course though and it's definitely one of my favorite things about Marquette. (Which, if you've been to Marquette, you know is saying something.) Lovers of nature and the sport will love this course.

Very nice wooded course with a lot of variation of hole type and scenery.

Nice pins and pads, someone will need to keep these up though since they are gravel. A very good technical course which is a great change of pace from the rest of the courses in the area.

First of all the course is instantly one of my favorites. Red Course is excellent for beginners of all ages who are able to navigate a sometimes intermediate hiking trail. The distances are close but provide perfect views and wonderful glades whom most older than your great grandparents. The Blue Course tacks on distance and more challenging lines featuring gaps to navigate before any real ground is covered. Some of these tee pads both long and short are of the most memorable most will ever see. ...

Solid Course! Amazing scenery along the river! A lot of tough shots! Watch your discs on hole 12 and 14, could easily lose a disc if you don't have a good toss. This course is raising the popularity of this sport in Marquette. This will bring more and more people to play, plus the course is a challenge... nothing better than that. Once it gets more broken in, will be one of the best courses in Michigan!

My only dislike with the course so far is with the grooming but I'm in no way rating the course by that. I mean it just opened and has been improving and I'm sure it will continue, especially as more and more people play it.

Nice course; not too difficult, not too easy. Loved hole #7 - had to scrounge around for my disc longer than I had liked, but very cool placement in the rock out-croppings! Shank your shot to the right on that one and you'll be looking downhill quite a ways. First few holes have the river off to the side for a very beautiful view. Signage for hole 11 could be a lot better - took me a few minutes longer than I would have liked to figure out where the heck it was...frustrating but no big deal.

A lot of teepads had sand and were very slick. The overall course layout was really good though. It had a lot of different shot variations and birdies were not overly easy to come by.

This course uses its moderate elevation changes well. Great scenery, layout & teepads. Water & large rock formations create a unique feel. Distances & alternate basket placements on many of the signs are misleading. Most of the holes did NOT have alternate baskets as shown on the signs. If not for that, I would rate it higher. Next time I'm in Marquette, I will play it again.

This is a great course with up north feel, lots of rocks and some elevation worked along a river. The layout playing long tees is a little confusing and there is a long walk to holes 11 and 12 and back. Also there is a tree directly in front of the long tee pad on 13 that could have easily been avoided by moving the tee pad 6 feet left.... Otherwise it is wonderful

I have played at a number of courses, including some of the best. I grew up around the black locust course (#3 in the us) and I came up to college here. I would like to say that this course blew me away. I love it! The scenery is amazing and nothing can beat it! The only thing I would change about this course would be concrete pads or at least a bit longer for the big wind up players. The course plays very well through the elevation

Course is beautiful to see and a joy to play . Couple tricky spots to find next hole. Keep a eye out for signs. This is a must see course in all Michigan. Monday leagues are open and friendly bunch.

Great course. Many challenging holes. Great tee box's. Had to skip a few holes at the start due to others playing and having limited time here to play

Really fun, pretty tough course. The course flows well between holes, and the holes themselves in this layout feel like good disc golf holes. Some elevation changes, gaps to hit, greens to access, drives to nail; it's a fantastic course.

This is a great course but has to be one of the most confusing layouts I have ever seen. I am a blue tee player and was so aggravated by the layout that after searching for trails and tee pads switched to red tees after several holes. Disc golf courses should be easily navigated for novice and newcomers. You should not need a tour guide to find the holes or the pads. Several times I found myself blindly searching for the next hole and could use more signage. They do appear to be attempting to fi ...
