The new back 9 is sick, great work Magnus, Tailor, and everyone involved.

There is a nice flow through the course. There are actually 19 holes and 18 baskets. This is a achieved by having an alternate hole after 5 (the old original 6), this route makes you play just the original nine. Or you play to the same basket if you play the full 18 on hole 15. This is nice if you only have time for nine or want to warm up or you can play the full 18! Decent variety of holes. There are some that have tight fairways, others with longer more open shots, all playing through the wo ...

Great 9 hole course! Tight and tricky, but fair lines. Really good pin placements. Great course for working on putter shots off the tee. You really only need a couple of midrange discs and putters to play this course (maybe a righty sidearm hyzer driver shot or 2) Easy to navigate. And AWESOME baskets!!!! Really fun! The only real knock on the course is that the tees are natural at this point. I hear concrete is in the works once the $ is raised.
I can't wait to see the next 9 holes, which is promised to be a lot longer than the existing 9. Good, fun disc golf :)

Great course, really came into its own after the second 9 was added. Not too many hills, don't prefer Arroyo baskets but they're in no way a deal breaker.

I play this course all the time. Great tee pads, fairways and baskets. It is a great course, however, I feel like it still needs a lot of work. I understand it's suppose to be very tactical but there are too many branches and small trees that really need to go. Other than that, I can't wait for the 18

It can be easy, or it can make you want to rip your face off... Still in its infant stages (especially the new 9) it needs a lot of cleanup and foot traffic but anybody can see with time its going to be an amazing course to work on hitting and shaping lines. Put your drivers back in your bag because the new holes aren't going to be parked with 1 shot using your putter. "Saving par" won't be easy if you shank off a tree either. The artificial turf teepads are surprisingly grippy yet slick ...

Just had the chance to play this course for the first time and I really enjoyed it! The land was well utilized for the design of the course. I liked how many of the baskets were guarded by a shield of trees, really adding a challenging element to the course. Its a fair course for all players regardless of left- or right-handed throwers. Hats off to the people who maintain this course; everything looked very nice and clean. I'm sure it definitely helps having trash cans throughout the course. ...

This is an awesome technical course. It is certainly making it into my rotation now that it is 18 holes. The back nine is superb. It has come a long way in terms of playability in the short time it has been open. I like how tight the course is set from the beginning. It will only open up over time. Very comparable to Whitehall. Worth the drive.

Tough through the trees, but there's a path on most of them if you can stay in it. Very well maintained for a young course with lots of local support. The locals were friendly and let us play while they were having league, etc... This course will just keep getting better.

Great technical and wooded course! Some use of elevation at spots. Very scenic and well-maintained course. Only issue I had was that people from two different teepads shoot at the same basket after hole 5. People from the 9 layout would be shooting to hole 6 I believe while people playing the 18 I think shoot to hole 15. Other than that, great course! The compacted sand and astro was a lot more stable than I assumed it would be, couple of the turfs could use flattening out but overall great course!

Smash is a great switch up to the other courses in the area. It has a great layout, and the up down elevation provides excellent aerobic activity for those looking to shed a few. I encourage others to take advantage of this park before it becomes a popular destination, and all the holes have groups waiting, like the others in the area.

As for any cons i would have to say mosquitoes are an issue, as with most Michigan parks and my backyard. Bring your preferred method of insect control.

Nice course for controlled shots. Lots of trees make for a challenging round. My only complaint would be the tee pads hence the B+ rating. Put in some nice concrete pads and its an A - A+ in my book.

Played it on a cold, fall afternoon. Trees shielded most of the wind, which was really nice. Hole layouts are fantastic. There is always a tight line to the basket. Beautiful setting in the woods with leaves changing colors. Easy to navigate, nice double chain baskets. Not necessarily the longest course, but the trees make it very challenging. Overall one of the best woods courses I've ever played, definitely want to come back and try and best my score.

This course is an awesome wooded-technical course with tons of the fun factor. But it is not short as many reviews have stated before the back nine was put in. This course has 3 holes well over 400' with tons of trees making it next to impossible for an am3 to pull a 3 on. With other holes over 300', slight to somewhat moderate elevation changes,Tight lanes EVERYWHERE. and of course the first five short but heavily wooded holes, this course is downright fun. The teepads are artificial turf but w ...

Nice clean park, exclusive to disc golf. A couple of the long holes are really good position holes. Removal of some trees would greatly improve the course. Don't mind challenge, but a few too many "poke and hope" tee shots.

I love it here, the baskets are the best, the flow is great, the teepads are turf (great if you wear cleats). It seems like every time I come out here I play a different line or find a disc that works better on a certain hole. I love courses that are technical but can let you stretch your arm and throw for distance as well. This is the kind of course that will give you the time of your life or make you want to quit but most of all it will make you a better disc golfer. I've never played a course ...

A great course winding through a beautiful Pine Forest. Some holes have too many trees in the way no clear Shot line. A mostly mid-range course with a couple over 400 footers. Well marked and easy-to-follow layout with little o.b. all tee pads are AstroTurf and some are covered by dirt. I would recommend this course to anyone of any skill level and look forward to playing this course again.

Pros: If this course was in my backyard, I would play it everyday! Aesthetic-- plays through the east end of a small city park. Other facilities include hiking trails which DO NOT interfere with disc golf. Disc on! Teesigns--nice for what they are. shows directionality of the hole if not a map along with distance. I liked that the disc golf park was dedicated to a guy who loved disc golf and has since passed away. Baskets-- ARROYOS!!! Super bright and visible in the woods. Arroyo baskets , I ...

Played this course for the first time this weekend, it was absolutely incredible.

MAKE SURE YOU BRING BUG SPRAY!
It was like the breeding ground for every mosquito in America.

I would give this course an A, but playing in the rain those turf tee’s are tricky.
I would have given this an A+ but the hole maps are waterlogged and unreadable.

Amazing course, I will absolutely return.

Played over the past weekend and loved the course. It was very challenging and little to tough for me atm but will definitely come back in the future. Apparently, it was made after someone who passed away? I'm not sure. A sign said in memory of Cody "Smash" Moore. Thought that was really cool.

Awesome course with tons of technical shot shapes and lines, course has longs wooded shots as well as short shots. Baskets catch well and the only downfall I can really think of would be the tee pads, Hopefully we can get some cement tee pads on the course in the near future. I would definitely recommend playing this course if you get the chance or are in the area.

A beautiful heavily wooded and technical disc golf exclusive course/park. Good design and mild elevation with water hazards on 5 holes. Nice combination of short and long holes. Several right and left doglegs. Signage is barely negligible but navigation is still pretty easy. Decent short and long turf/carpet pads and cool Arroyo steel baskets with good placement. A picnic shelter and porta john is in the front parking lot.
