Regal Pines

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 25, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Course is located in it's own secluded area with decent parking. I don't think this one gets much activity you will more than likely have this one all to yourself or selves.

- Very easy to follow layout as it's basically a trail weaving around the property so next tee is pretty much always straight ahead.

- Fun lines with a mix of dead straight tunnel shots where the fairway is only 10 or so feet wide. Some of them have doglegs at the end to add more challenge. This course will definitely reward those who hit their lines. I have to admit it was really fun watching my disc bend around corners and land right in front of the basket.

- Baskets are new Mach 5's which catch fine. Signs are in the works and would be a huge booster to the course.

- The scenery is pretty awesome. I absolutely love courses like this that have long hallways of tall trees. Reminds me a little bit of Yulga in Stevens Point and the wooded portions of Kiekhaefer Park in Fondy.

- Pretty hard to lose a disc here even during the middle of the summer although there was some thorny patches in certain spots. Unless you get a really bad kick and don't pay attention to the direction your disc goes, you should be able to come away from this one with a full bag which is always nice after playing wooded courses.

Cons:

- Very punishing results if you miss your line and hit a tree which will more than likely send your disc flying in the opposite direction and right into tree jail. Classic risk vs reward.

- As of September, only about half of the course has teepads which are rubber mats. They work fine for now. Cement teepads would go a long way here and I believe that is what is in the works.

- No signs yet which are very needed. Some signs pointing which direction to go next would also be good on a few of the holes.

- No bathroom or even a porta-potty in the parking lot which I'm sure would be nice for some of the lady DGers.

Other Thoughts:

Eagle Pines is a brand newish course located south of the Stevens Point area and is currently a work in progress. I wouldn't call it a destination course but definitely a good warmup on the way up to Standing Rocks or Yulga. Those three courses would make a great DG day for sure.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm a huge lover of these kinds of courses. The course is located on an old pine plantation which I thought was pretty cool. I can see this one becoming a rival course to some of the Stevens Point courses with only a few minor improvements.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 22, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

20 more holes of disc golf in the area! 2 loops of 10 holes each, set in a secluded pine plantation. Lots of different tee shots though the course does favor a RHBH. A surprising amount of wildlife for a pine plantation but that is due to the large amount of understory, a mix of oak, cherry and thorns. Challenging tight fairways that will remind you some of Yulga, with some punishing rough if you get off of them. Very well laid out and scenic for what there is to work with at the site.
Updated 01/01/23: There are tee signs and Next Hole sign on all holes. Rough has been knocked back on several holes.

Cons:

No elevation changes but no chance for it here and not the most scenic of woods but again nothing can be done about that. The other big cons will be improved with time, the lack of great tee pads and ammenities.

Other Thoughts:

Some cleanup work is going on now, cleaning up fairways and greens, widening paths.
The plan is to put in one set of concrete pads this summer and one set next summer. A kiosk should be added soon and a few benches and garbage cans should be added this summer. Future plans include possibly a bathroom and shelter. Tee signs and Next Hole signs have been added.
