Dynamikum Pirmasens › December 12, 2021
The Dynamikum course is in a multi-use park. Holes are on the shorter side; I played with a midrange and putter throwing RHBH the whole time. Routing is not the greatest as a lot of holes cross paths and there are occasionally pedestrians in the way. Most holes play along or up/down hills. This creates a lot of uneven footing and risks of roll-aways.

Belle Isle DGC › October 29, 2012
They did a great job of building the course around the natural landscape. Good use of water that makes you think twice about what shot you want to throw. Nice variety of long holes that allow you to air it out, and short holes that challenge your precision.
Weather was rough, but that wasn't a surprise considering it was late October in Michigan. Wind made even routine putts and approaches into more difficult shots that you could cost you a stroke. I would like to see this tournament played a ...
