This is a hidden gem in "Da U.P." Absolutely love this course, a tru testament of Northern Michigan Disc Golf. Very rarely is it crowded. Good mix of tight shots & bombers, only con I can give this place is play it early in the year, Ticks & Poison Ivy are common here. Oh maybe cement tee pads if your spoiled like that, me I like the Northern Michigan feel of natural tee pads. Now get out and throw!!

great course, only improvement would be better pads and making a better path for hole 5/6

My favorite course! Up and down a ski hill 3 times if you play all 24 holes. Mix of elevations spread throughout wide open bombers and technical corridors on an easily navigable layout. Tee-pads are natural and can be rutted. Gotta make time to play this course if you're anywhere near the Bridge!

I love this course. I first played it in 2006 or 7 it was only 18 holes. I like it better now, they changed a couple holes. The tee pads do need a little work, like filling in the holes. The holes are not that long for the most part, but the elevation and pin placement make up for it. I'd definitely like to play here more often.

This course features some of the best signage directing players between holes that I've ever seen. It is well-maintained and the holes are very well laid out. Accuracy is rewarded and mistakes are punished - severely! My primary dislike was some of the tee pads. I don't need concrete pads but a few are angled so heavily they seriously inhibit drives. Something close to level would work in all cases. This is a very good course on the verge of greatness.

Pros: This is probably the hardest course I have played. I have since played Leviathon and this course challenges Leviathon on how hard it is even though it is much much shorter. Almost every shot is through a very skinny line flat or uphill with hard hyzer or anhyzers at the end of the shot and a couple downhill bombers. The holes are not extremely long but are very technical. If you miss your line you will end up in some thick ruff where you will have to throw out. The ruff isnt so bad that I ...

Played in late July and it was beautiful ! Ski slope in the winter , I really enjoyed this course , great use of shorter distance holes . Some mosquitos but , dont let that stop you from playing this one.

PROS: Course is mapped out very well, score cards are provided at the beginning. Very clean fairways and baskets are in great shape. Holes 7 and 8 call for a pretty much straight vertical drive and a hard climb to the top of a toboggan hill. This leads to hole number 9 which is one of the coolest holes ive ever played. a 600' bomb off of the very top of the hill to a clearing on the bottom. I walked back up the hill just to throw it again. Course called for many different types of shots which i ...

Awesome course.terrible poopity pads, very questionable signage at times. hard to navigate, especially after I think hole 15 the walk is like two thousand feet pretty baller... Just keeeep walking until u think all hope is lost, once you see the tee sign after that walk you will think an angel came down to bless you. the rough will kick your d or p in the dirt and if you want some hogweed and loss of vision that's also definitely out there for you to endure. and not one review I read said any ...

This course was awesome. Each hole requires a different skill set. Good uphill and downhill holes. 600+ feet on hole 9, was an awesome drop down the ski slope. Definitely worth stopping at if you are in the area. Could use some cement tee pads. Great views as well.

Great elevation change. When everything is marked makes it one of the best in the state.

This is now one of my all time favorite courses.. I have played lots of courses all throughout michigan and this one is definetly a world class course. If cement pads were added and some cleanup this course could be one of akind. A sweet rock quary and some awesome views of lake michigan..tons of wildlife and amazing views.. the downfalls are that if you go to this course later in the summer the grass will be long and it will be overgrown I'm sure.. I was lucky and played this course at the perfect time..I highly recomend this course to everyone.

Scenery outstanding course was a riot, details to follow soon. This os a late entry from last year.

Decent hole layout and maintenance. Tight lanes that reward accuracy. Good mix of long and shorter holes. Almost complete hole signs and direction signs which are really well made. Definitely needs pads; which I suggest cement. Needs a road sign after the turn on cheeseman on the left side.

This course is sublime! Awesome views and great scenic holes. This course is just across the bridge, if you're headed to the UP, stop to play this course!!! Also, watch your discs well, a misplaced shot might be gone forever.

Loved the course. A bit unkempt and didn't know where I was teeing off when I got to the open on the front nine. Lost a big stamp nuke on hole eight on that hill of lost things. Will reward for sure.

Updated my review again. Bumped it up a notch. Course is getting some love. The layout is fun, fairly easy to navigate, and it's a beautiful location. Courses built on ski hills are usually boring and a lot of straight up and down, but this course keeps it interesting. Rough is still super thick, but at least the fairways are getting taken care of. No idea where the tee is on 4, and many signs are busted and inaccurate. This course has a lot of potential, and is fun to play if you know it.

Horrible marking for paths. If you use the udisc app on your phone it shows how to get to each hole and where the hole goes. Otherwise you might get lost. But some good holes.

POISON IVY! Since no one has stated it before, I'll repeat. POISON IVY. There is a sign warning you of this at the beginning and another after the basket on Hole 15. With that said, amazing view from 15 and some great elevation changes and an overall fun course. I thought the signage was very good (except for the few signs that had unfortunately been vandalized.)

A fun course in the U.P. Make sure you have a good hiking shoes there is some steep hills to walk up and down. Nice course tho. Some tight shots and some big bombs to throw also. Go play you won't be disappointed.

Fun course, loved the elevation changes! Hard to find a couple of the tee areas, but overall, very well maintained. Definitely will play again!

Forest Lots of thick woods if you get off the path. Challenging.

Unless something has changed, this course was borderline unplayable during my summer trip 2023.

This course has potential to be one of the best. Great mix of everything. Needs T pads, trail markers.
+0 votes Shane skiera › August 2, 2021
If the course had the right care! It would be way more playable! Still not marked well and some holes “pars” seem Impossible! All in all with better management and better trail markers the challenge would draw people in! My buddy lost two discs tho…

A little too much up and down. Lots of room for more baskets. Needs cement tee pads.

Ok I guess, most holes were narrow long tunnels, high risk of disc loss everywhere with deep rough, risk-v-reward just wasn't there. Seems like they missed the boat on taking advantage of the terrain. Very playable with neat signs, easy to navigate and nice to play if you are around, but I wouldn't plan a trip just to play.
