Pros:
-Never crowded
-Free
-Little chance to lose your disc
-Hole 4 is actually really cool, no matter where you approach it from, make sure you go find it.
-Elevation comes into play on hole 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9.
-Good baskets.
Cons:
- Very few tee pads, and those that are there are rubber. Some aren't even dirt, because they haven't been played enough to wear away the grass. Hole 9 shorts you get a concrete tee from the sidewalk.
- Not always clear where to go next, and sometimes there's a moderate walk to the next hole. Especially problematic with hole 4, which is hidden behind the tee pad for hole 5. As far as I can tell the short tee sign for hold 4 has been removed, long is way back alongside the asphalt.
- No trees. And bad use of terrain. This course has some of the better hills available in Ypsilanti here. Unfortunately, they did not have the budget to clear fairways in the brush. So all the holes are along the field, and have little hazard except for rough on the side.
Other Thoughts:
With some more attention this course could actually be good, and probably 18 holes to boot, but right now, EMU doesn't seem to care about the course, and local players have better options available nearby. If you're in the area and looking for a change of pace or some fieldwork, it can be fun, but its probably not worth your trip.
Hopefully someday we'll get a redesign that makes this exciting but right now the most accurate description is "Meh."
