Surprisingly fun... 2+ years

Pros:

9 hole course situated on a public 9 hole ball golf course, in Fitchburg, WI (a suburb of Madison)

Brand new Discatcher baskets, all in great shape and mounted nicely. Two pin positions per hole. From what we could gather, the extra pins changed each hole considerably, either from a distance perspective, or a shot perspective.

Natural tees, but these are ball golf natural tees, so they're finely manicured grass. Flat, level, ample...and not worn out, as there doesn't seem to be a ton of traffic here. As far as grass tees go, these are obviously as good as you're going to find. There are also 3 tee positions per hole. Most of them simply add distance, but several do slightly change the outlook of the hole.

Lots of distance here. If you like to grip and rip, you're in luck on several holes here.

Some nice water features on the course. There's a large pond on hole 5's blue tee, which is about a 300' water carry, depending on where you're aiming.

Nice scorecard provided at the pro shop. Distances all laid out (they're not on the actual course) for all tees/basket positions. Navigation on the course is very easy.

You can rent golf carts!

Some nice, tricky pin positions. A couple holes have water in play around the basket, and most holes have some sorts of obstacles to navigate. For a golf course, they did a REALLY good job of making something out of nothing in some cases.

Cons:

Pay to play. $5/rd ($8/two rounds) is pretty steep. With all the P2P in the area, it might not seem so bad, but $5 for nine holes is a lot, IMO. Luckily, the course is pretty fun.

Not much elevation here. It's all pretty flat, save for hole 2.

It's kind of right in the middle of town, and hole 2 has a busy road right next to the tee.

Other Thoughts:

This was my first time playing disc golf on a ball golf course, and I was pleasantly surprised. We assumed this would be a throwaway course on a day of bagging, but it turned out to be quite fun. Plenty of fun shots to be had, and there's something to be said for being able to grip and rip once in a while.

While it's a bit pricey, it's a fun little 9, and I'd definitely tell people to give a try if they're in the area!
