Pros:
Somebody is a very lucky guy to play here. Short tees and long tees. Shoveling the pads is a whole lot of fun!! Everybody should do it it is just great.
Cons:
Need a pass but a year is cheap.
Other Thoughts:
There was a time when disc golfers were once misidentified as biology students on some field trip.

Pros:
Great all around course. Every hole has two cement tee pads, and will test every one of your shots. What is great about the alternate tee pads are that instead of just moving you closer, many times it completely changes the direction of your hole. You can easily play 18 long, and 18 short for a great day of 36 completely different holes
Cons:
Nothing now that the cement tee pads are in!
Other Thoughts:
This is a must play if you are in the mid-michigan area

Pros:
-Deerfield has a lot of nice elevation changes. For example hole 1 is pretty steep uphill, on 2 the basket is in a ditch (but has a flag so you know where it is), 5 is a 515' downhill shot
-very easy to navigate. there are signs that point you toward the next tee
-probably the best variety of shots of any course I have played (which I have to admit isn't a lot). There are long(5), short(16), hyzer (9), anhyzer(17), uphill(1), downhill(5), shots along(13) and over(14) a pond, tight(8) and open(5) fairways.
-very challenging. Though I'm not that good, I consider it a good day if I score better than +10.
-nice cement tee pads on the pro and am tees.
-holes 1-5 have identical benches. It seems like eventually all the holes will?

Cons:
-the pro tee pad for hole 9 isn't textured the same as the rest. It can be very slippery.
-Poison ivy on a few holes.

Other Thoughts:
$6 per day or $25 for a year pass. I wasn't sure if this was a pro or a con. On one hand it keeps out some of the people who trash free courses, on the other hand you're losing $6.
If you are in the area stop by the CMU course. Comparing them will make Deerfield Park seem like the best course ever.

Cons:
The signs do not have a map, which can be troublesome for first timers, but there are scorecards at the entrance with maps.
