- Simple yet challenging
- Concrete tees
- Clean park
- Holes steer clear of major park ammenities

- Tees are not mapped out well. Creates a bit of confusion.

- Bring plenty of OFF! There are tons of mosquitoes!
- This is a good course and wish it was another 9.

Great course for beginners and advanced players.
Course has a little of everything most players look for.
There are a few technical ace run holes along wooded area.
Park is maintained very well and clean.

Mosquitoes are very bad along wooded area. Bring your repellent!
Watch out for bad throws along wooded area and disc ricochets off trees into grassy marsh.

Locals have solar lighted all pins for Glow playing which is a plus for me.

1. Nice, new baskets.
2. Interesting, semi-challenging layout - Good play in and out of the woods made for an more-fun-than-expected round.
3. Nice practice basket.
4. Clean park with well maintained fairways.
5. Decent elevation changes and hole lengths.
6. With a little luck, the holes in the woods are definitely ace-able.

1. Finding the Tee Pad to #2 from Basket #1 took me about 10 minutes. Pro tip: It's in the woods directly behind Basket #1.
2. Woods are still a bit dense, so you need some luck, especially on the left to right shots.
3. Layout is a bit on the short side. It took me 26 minutes to play nine holes, and that's INCLUDING the time I spent looking for Tee #2.

I actually liked this course a lot more than I thought I would. It's certainly not the hardest 9 hole course in the world, but it's challenging enough that the next time I'm in Portage, I'll most likely stop by and play it again.

* Attractive, multi-use park with shelters and vending machines
* Practice basket with bricks embedded in ground for "around the world" putting practice
* Concrete tees should be in soon (already framed)
* DisCatchers help with visibility in the woods
* Good variety with two open holes, four in heavy woods, and three in moderately wooded parkland with mature trees
* Variety of hole lengths (140' - 456')
* Some holes require hyzers or anhyzers
* Takes advantage of modest elevation change
* Arrow for next tee written on yellow band on top of basket

* No tee signs (yet)
* Seems a little more friendly for LHBH (or RHFH) ... good for me though.
* Picnic table in play (but blind from tee) on the right side of #8 ... not fixed though, so hopefully they will move it.

Overall, this a good course, especially for beginners and intermediates. Other than #1 & #9, accuracy is much more important than length. My rating assumes completion of the concrete tees and tee signs.

Quick description of each hole:
#1: Open field shot with one guardian tree short and right. To get to #2, go to the left from #1 basket into the corner of the woods (basket for #9 is in view behind #1 basket)
#2: Short wooded hole with tree directly in front of tee to make you pick a side
#3: Wooded, uphill hole with sharp right turn at the end, but tree just to front and left of tee narrows the window
#4: Fairly straight, level wooded hole ... a slight left-to-right fade works best
#5: Another wooded, uphill left-to-right hole, but more of a continuous curve compared to #3
#6: Second half of the hole is downhill. A dogleg left with the woods on the left and parkland with mature trees on the right
#7: Long, straight, slightly downhill hole with plenty of trees left and right, although second half of the hole is more open
#8: Uphill for the first part of the hole, then flattens out (you can only see top of basket from the tee). Plenty of large trees (and a lightpole) in the way.
#9: Open bomber (~465'), with woods far right
