Get Ready to Throw your Ass Off!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 5, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is awesome! Until recently I only played this course in the summer. In the winter it was extremly challenging and just as fun. Many long, tight, and open holes to test every shot you can dream up.
-very clean
-well maintained
-many picnic benches and garbage cans on everyhole
-signs for every hole
-score cards provided
-cjs right down the street with all your disc golf needs and discount to A3 members
-pay to play helps pay to maintain the course

Cons:

I don't have anything that I can complain about. Some people may think the pay to play is a downfall.

Other Thoughts:

This is the best course in my area. Definitely requires concentration. Be prepared to bring your "A" game and stop in and check out CJ's, before your round.

Michigan's Finest 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 10, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Tough pro-caliber course design. Excellent laout. Dual tees, solids cages. Many different shots needed. Alcohol permitted.

Cons:

Pigs on patrol. $2 per player fee in addition to park enterance fee. No easy way to get to this metropark. It's out there.

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the toughest courses I've played. T The famed 'monster' hole at plays over 1,000 feet from the pro tees. Many birdie holes to make up for the longer ones though. This and the Original course together in the same park make for one of Michigan's premier disc golf locations. Worth the drive to play. Plan for a whole day to get both courses in. Monster is not as crowded at the original in general. Watch out for the metropark pigs, they love to hassle disc golfers and warrentlessly search.

Fantastic - one of the best in the state 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

18 holes plus 6 bonus. Lots of variety, many chances to go for the huge drive mixed with holes that require a high level of precision. Lots of chances for birdies, but a bad throw can put you into a fight to avoid bogie (or worse).

This course (along with it's sister course) is one of the best courses you'll play anywhere, which is proven by the throngs of people here every weekend, and large number of tournaments that are held here every season.

Great facilities - excellent club house, snack bar, concrete tee pads (2 per hole), nice baskets. Everything is in great shape, and vandalism is almost non-existent.

Cons:

Personally, I hate the first and the last holes. The first hole requires a precision shot to either enter a tunnel of trees, or drop right by the entrance, so the next throw can go down the pipe. I don't think the first hole of any course should be tough, because it starts you off on a bad note.

Likewise, the last hole is a par-4 dogleg, shaped like a backwards "4". You can try to throw up over the tall trees that are based in a sludge-filled creek, but the safer throw is to lay up near the bridge, then throw a hard hyzer to get close to the basket.

I'm often pissed after the first and last holes, but I can't lose site of the fact that almost every other hole on the course is really fantastic.

Like the Original course, this course is crowded on the weekends. Check ahead to see if a tournament is going on.

Other Thoughts:

Read the description of the Original course at Hudson Mills - they are in the same park.
