- Hope Community College decided to put the land behind their building to good use and install a disc golf course. What looks to have once been a cleared area has definitely gone fully scrubby. We're talking dense, thick, nasty, prickly, thorny, sticker-bush laden SW MI scrubby. It's not so much forested as trees dotting the rampant schuletude. Nine short holes, all well under 300', hack their way through in a counterclockwise direction from the first tee.
- To find the first tee, park to the far right of the lot, go around the right side of the building and find the little garden area. A tee pad is down in the depressed area, trust me. Alternatively, you could park on the left side of the lot, and head toward the volleyball and little kiosky area, in order to hop on at #8's tee. Why you would want to do this I don't know, but this place has options!
- Pavers flat to ground show hole number and distance. It's crude but enough to jam your way through!
- Baskets were fine.
- Better than expected hole design actually creates a fun pitch-and-putt style course for putters. I wouldn't bring my drivers out here for two reasons: 1) the short hole lengths and 2) the crazy schule is certain to eat most anything wayward. Stay on path and this course is pretty easy, but woof does the rough looks hella punishing.
- Reasonable rolling elevation used quite well on #'s 1, 6 & 7.

- Good lord, the rough! Who is the target audience here, Wolverine? With the 10-15' wide, narrow-ass fairways weren't difficult enough to manage, anything even an inch off the fairway is severely punished by attack brambles.
- Pavers are flush to the ground and thus a bit harder to locate in comparison to the more typical post-and-sign dealio.
- Wasn't exactly the best maintained with ankle high prairie grasses starting to grow up out of the fairway's previous mowing.
- A bit difficult to locate the first tee. Some sort of anything here to get you off on the right foot would be a big improvement. Everything visually is pointing to the course starting at #8's tee, while #1's tee is completely non-descript and almost hidden away behind the right side of the building.
- Pavers were pretty poor tee pads. Hole # 6's pavers were on the ground stacked up but not installed.

- For as bad as everything else is about this course, there are some real sweet moments of discin'. Designer seemed to have a "good eye" for getting some goodness out of not much.
- No real play ground for kiddos, or much to do for families,
- A few beautiful nature-y moments with roosting doves, prairie flowers, puffball mushrooms, and the kiddo.
