Nice use of space with over half of it under shade with big trees. Great location. Bum sleeping on bench, teenagers hanging hammocks in between tee box and basket, no parking spaces (had to park in doctor's office across the street). Difficult to navigate: Couldn't tell what baskets went with what tee pads a few times. Didn't know there were short and long pads until Hole #7 or so.

Another small course near home, that I just hadn't gotten around to playing. A little rough, no good parking and looks like it could get crowded (with non disc golfers hanging out in the park) at times... but we played on a day when it was pretty empty. Definitely worth stopping if you are in the area and have time for a quick round. It's in Royal Oak so there are a lot of other things to do in the area afterwards.

My home course, first round 1998. A good place to practice and learn your plastic. Good mix of hole lengths. 9 basket, 18 tee pad, Royal Oak style course. A few crush drives, small elevation change ... show more ›

My home course, first round 1998. A good place to practice and learn your plastic. Good mix of hole lengths. 9 basket, 18 tee pad, Royal Oak style course. A few crush drives, small elevation changes on a few holes, and big trees to navigate. Does not require varied shots, pretty much hyzers and a few anhyzers, typical "park golf." but challenging enough. Lost a ton of ash trees 2003/4 and plays easier than it once did, needs some TLC, and trees planted to make it a better course. Too much litter, trash, and vandalism from degenerates, giving the sport a bad name,"way to go bro". If you can pack it in, you can pack it out! Worth playing for sure. Great safari potential, especially after you've played it a billion times.

I played this course for the first time today in the morning.
Very nice location, easy to find and park. In residential area.

Pros:
Course has variety at each hole
Wide open drives, but still has the challenge of trees
Hilly terrain making an interesting game
Lots of other disc golfers around, but not too many

Cons:
Confusing for first timers, only first 9 holes are marked
Back 9 are just alternate variations of Front 9
First hole was very hard to find basket since there are three baskets in the area
Tee pads too short, they are unusable for a standard drive
Garbage everywhere at every tee (Needs cans)

Overall: C+
Good design, but not the best execution and upkeep

I talked a lot of shit about this park at first (thought it was too small), but all things considered it's not a bad park. Much better than its cousin park Star JayCee, but not as nice as the local Firefighters park. Wagner has multiple play-places for kids of different ages, some decent length holes for such a small park, and plentiful parking (which is really saying something for Royal Oak). It seems that all parks are plagued by some sort of parasite; if you play in Davison, expect some mosquito bites - if you play in Wagner, prepare for the cigarette mooch.

Really wanted to like this park. The layout is great if you know where you're going. If you don't have a map handy, or someone in your group that knows the layout, you're screwed. It's very POORLY marked with a lot of signage vandalized or missing all together. The course plays great with a mix of medium to easy shots.

Would have given this course a higher score if it was more user-friendly.

This course is awful. Not because the course itself is terrible(it's not) but the "scenery" is. Drunk teenagers, empty 4 Loko cans, and idiots make up the majority of the course. It is the local hang ... show more ›

This course is awful. Not because the course itself is terrible(it's not) but the "scenery" is. Drunk teenagers, empty 4 Loko cans, and idiots make up the majority of the course. It is the local hang out for bums as well. There is a league here on Thursdays that rotates with Starr Jaycee(a far superior course). there is little to no reason to ever come play here and you will only want to draw your own blood by the time you get through the first nine holes. Don't be surprised if you get asked to buy underage people booze if "King" Dale, the kids of-age friend, is enjoying another stint in jail. 18 teepads with 9 baskets. Good luck if you dare to brave this god forsaken wasteland.
