TeePads/Baskets - I think the TeePads are in fine shape, especially the two pads per hole. Baskets are fine, well-marked and easy to see.

Signage - Signs are fine, distance, little map, hole #. Distance from both pads would be nice.

Variety - For a 9 hole course I say there is variety here. Elevation, backhand and forehand shots, wide open ace, and there is some technical shots. There isn't water, nor 400'+ long distance holes.

Fun - I think this is one of the more fun courses. It's short and quick, with a variety. There aren't long walks between holes and you can see around so you know who or what's ahead. If you like it, go again for 18, or do a safari and throw from pad1 to hole2... People just love the ace run on hole 4.

Locatability - Park is easy to find. Holes are pretty easy to locate except for perhaps hole #1. I've had to help a few people find the addition pad at #1, and locate where is hole #1. Sign for next hole or arrow wouldn't be bad, course is pretty open so finding the next hole is easy

Maintained/Bugs - Perhaps none better. Grass maintained by onsite crews, very nice. Trees trimmed and in shape. Only bugs are if you throw deep off course on a few of the final holes, but still the trees should block it from going in too far.

Aesthetic-This is a pretty standard 9-hole Michigan course. It's super pretty in the fall with color. Other than that, no water (on the course) or other features of note.

Challenge-I think this course separates haves and have not's. The top 20% to 30% of the DG community is going to fly thru this and say, way too easy, every hole. So I marked this as con. But for me, I play this all the time, and there are holes that just mess me up. There are only 2 or 3 trees on a hole and I hit one every other round.

Congestion - Unless the temp is below 42degrees or its dark, there will be someone else on the course. But how busy is the question. Its usually not horrible that you can't skip passed them, or play thru, or wait. But there is congestion.

What's holding it back from higher rating - I really like this course. Adding anything would probably detract from something else, it is at its highest capability I think.

Kid Friendly - Yes, kids like this, plus it has a park, a beach area, and pavilion for parties.

Older/Less Active Player Friendly - Yes, only 9 holes, with walking path, and relatively short course. The elevation changes could cause some problem, but not that bad.

Rookie Friendly - I think rookie's will thoroughly enjoy this course, lots of things to work on, and great chances to do things well and build confidence.

Average Player Friendly - Right down the middle, I think either you'll love it, or you'll say no big deal, I won't go back. I love it, but if you gotta be in the woods, have to have a few 400 to 500'+ holes, this isn't you. But I would still say, stop by once, because you don't know which side you're on.

Pro Player Friendly - May find enjoyment and fun. Don't come alone. With the short drives, playing as is, if there is a lot of congestion it will get old quickly.

This is a pretty good course. The grounds are always kept pretty well maintained. Dual cement tees on each hole.

Can get pretty busy on weekend, often there are large groups (5-6+ people) that take forever on each hole. Course is relatively easy.

Says that it costs to play there, as of 3/18/12 no fee to play, I think they trashed this idea, never had to pay last year either.

Challenging holes, with bends and twists! Fun to play. Tests out your drives, mids, and putts, as well as your ability to curve around obstacles.

Maybe a bit too open at times. Can get a little bit crowded with annoying teens just messing around.

Road hazard on the second basket. Keep it straight or left, otherwise you might hit a car
