Pros:

Badger Park is a short, flat pitch and putt course that has discatcher baskets, nice tee signs with distance and hole diagram, and is easy to navigate. The course is moderately wooded with mature trees to navigate on every hole. The course is pretty short with most of the holes in the 160 to 230 foot range. There is one longer hole that's almost 300 feet and is a big hyzer shot. Otherwise most of the baskets are straight ahead, one hole was a slight turnover shot, but there are multiple routes through the trees on some holes.

Cons:

There are dirt tee pads which are far too close to the basket on the previous hole which is a safety concern. The first few holes seem pretty close to the campgrounds. Overall the course feels kinda crammed into the space.

Course is very short and shot selection isn't that great, one hyzer, one anhyzer, and the rest are straight ahead.

Other Thoughts:

This pitch and putt course is a good for kids, families and beginners and there are plenty enough trees to provide a good challenge for them.

Once you've been playing for a while there isn't any challenge here.

Pros:

Nice Discatcher baskets. Lots of other nice park stuff for the non-disc golfers. Fine bathroom and other park facilities. The course is better than none at all, and is mostly appropriate for beginners.

Cons:

Cons: Tee designated only by tee sign on 4x4. The course is mostly a "random path shot through the big trees."
This course is too crowded to an unsafe extent. Tees are too close to goals, and hole #1 is too close to both campers and hole #2. The otherwise decent hole #4 throws a RHBH hyzer blindly into a trail where I observed both dog walkers and a kid on his bike. A RHBH hyzer that turns over hard on hole #8 heads for the kiddie playground. On a cool fall Thursday morning the playground was very busy.

Other Thoughts:

This is a short course in a nice, very trimmed, city park that has many other activities. Holes are beginner length running through and under large trees. Some holes have grass and others are bare ground.
Start and stop at opposite ends of parking lot.
Apparently the park has 57 acres, but only about 20 appeared to be in use. The park should quit putting so many park users at risk and develop some of the woodlands for a proper disc golf course. This was my first course played of three close 9-holers. The other two being at Marinette and Oconto. It got better!

HOLE NOTES:
#1 Needs L mando from #2 tee. Too close to campers.
#2 Plays through #1 goal.
#3 OK a random path shot through the big trees.
#4 Tee inside #3 putting circle! Plays blind over bike and walking path.
#5 Tee right at edge of putting circle. "random path shot through the big trees."
#6 Again, tee right at edge of putting circle. "random path shot through the big trees."
#7 Tee only 8M from #6 goal. Plays through Charcoal grill. "random path shot through the big trees."
#8 Tee right at edge of #7 fairway. A turnover on the RHBH hyzer route goes into the playground. or "random path shot through the big trees."
#9 Tee inside #8 putting circle. A bit more open "random path shot through the big trees."

Passable, REPETITIVE, blah - that makes it poor 2+ years

Pros:

Innova discatchers - these rock and eat putts from a RHBH player if you hit the right side (see my score, 7 deuces)
Signs were nice and they had a hole diagram and distance displayed.
Hole #4 is the closest to variety you get at this park. Requires you to punch through some tight large trees and sweep a hard left turn to a pin ~300' away.
Hole #3 has a tiny bit of elevation.
The entire park is wooded, under a canopy of huge white pines. It is a nice city park feel.
There is a great wooden playset at the park, awesome for those with kids.

Cons:

Repetition - same hole after hole, after hole. All you do is throw 150-240' shots through the huge pines. There is almost always a look straight at the pin, but you could go left or right just as easily, or you could s-curve a RHFH around the trees and park it just about every time. Putter, buzzz, and mabe a sidearm disc if you choose, that's all you need to throw -9 here (I missed #2 and #4).
The location is busy. Right across from the schools, bordered by two roads, a large popular playground in the park, and also a campground adjacent to hole #1.
There is almost no elevation.
No water hazards and no defined OB, but roads could come into play.
This niner lacks a lot in terms of variety. 8 of 9 holes are essentially the same, that doesn't leave much for those who desire variety, balance, and uniqueness.

Other Thoughts:

What could have been???
Look at the woods off to the left of holes 1, 2, 3, 4. Imagine some nicely designed and created holes carved through there.
All in all the course fills a beginner city park niche. Advance players will find it MONOTONOUS and boring. It is definitely passable, and it's not really on the way to any destination course. If you're bored on a weekday and want to check some courses off your list, you can play here, Marinette, and Oconto. Oconto is the best by far.
