Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 6, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Concrete pro and am tee pads
Nice baskets
Great atmosphere (lake, college sports)
Really fun course

Cons:

(con for some) 6 out of 10 holes play around water
there is a walking trail around the lake so there is almost always people that you have to wait on
if there is something going on on campus then parking is horrible

Other Thoughts:

- This used to be my least favorite course but now that my game has progressed I love it.
- Make sure you bring your RHBH throw, because the first 6 holes play around the lake and it would be mighty risky to be throwing forehand shots.
- If you're playing from the pro tees, you'll need a big arm to make it over the water on 1 and 6.
- Speaking of 6 it is my least favorite. you can either thrown it over the water or take a very narrow and low line between some trees, and its a long hole.
- I wouldn't bring newbies here unless you wanna lose some discs.
- Only 10 holes but there is another excellent 9 hole course on campus and an easy relaxing 18 across town

Pros:

Beautiful park setting mostly around a small lake.2 concrete tee pads for each hole. Fairly easy to navigate as it plays around the lake. Water in play so plenty of risk/reward. nice use of elevation. Located next to the Sanderson Rec Center so there should be restrooms inside (didn't go into the building) Good mix of short and long holes with 3 legitimate par 4's.

Cons:

Not beginner friendly because of the risk of going in the water although the risk is minimized from the short tees. Busy park so you have to watch out for other park users. There is a walking trail that generally follows the course so be careful. Needs some signage for distances etc. had a course map from this site but it is slightly out of date because of an added hole.

Other Thoughts:

This course now has 10 holes not 9. The course map is correct except there is an added hole between #3 and #4. Easy to follow. The 1st 7 holes play around the lake and the last 3 go around the side of the building. Some fairly challenging forced carries from the long tees.

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Long Pro Tees that really challenge. Am tees are good to. Lake is beautiful, as is the general campus area.

Cons:

People fishing or picnics on the fairway. This is a very popular place in spring for both and they are in the way on several holes. Most folks are ok on playing through. Long walk between some baskets and next tees. No signage when I played but fairly easy to navigate, only missed one pad.

Other Thoughts:

It's on MSU campus so I love it. Think it should be explored to put one in the Technology park across the street though. Far less traffic.
