Cons:
Some poison ivy on hole 3
Other Thoughts:
It's great to see another course in door county. We used to have to drive over a half hour to get to a course. This course is good but not up to par with some of the nicer courses. Still fun and challenging and happy to see another course on the Door Peninsula.

Welcome to Jacksonport 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Jul 3, 2017
Played the course:once
Pros:
Fairly tranquil setting, nestled behind the fire station and baseball diamond.
Two tees per hole with very different lengths.
Temporary tee signs are painted on large rocks, indicate hole number and distance.
Baskets are not damaged and are installed properly.
I believe there was a practice basket near first hole.
The course is fairly spread out, so you don't feel too cramped up, besides the baseball diamond (more on that below).
Navigation is pretty straight forward, just look for a painted rock near where you just finished.
Painted rocks indicating which way to go when long and short tees are spread far apart.
Some holes had a bit of an open feel to them, while others were moderately wooded.
A very unique hole were (#3 from the long tees) you play a giant U-turn around thick trees.
Trash cans and sit-able rocks are dotted here and there along the course.
Jacksonport is a tiny town on the "quiet side", so I doubt this course will ever be too crowded.
Amenities near parking lot include trash cans, picnic tables, port-a-potty, and small pavilion.
Guestbook and scorecards available at welcoming table/area. It includes a temporary sign indicating that soon a permanent sign will be placed with a course map and a sign to recognize all the generous course sponsors. A donation box will also be added soon, and there is a contact if anyone would like to donate.
The course is sponsored by local establishments. One of those establishments is Mike's Port Pub and Grill just a couple minute walk from the last hole.

Cons:
On two (three if you overshot quite a bit), you are playing pretty close to the fence for the baseball diamond.
The total footage of the course listed at the information table/area seemed incorrect.
The reds played obnoxiously short, but this is probably designed to get the locals (who aren't familiar with disc golf for the most-part as there were practically no courses in Door County until recently) and kids into the sport.
Natural tees, but that doesn't bother me much when the courses isn't overly played and ruts get formed.

Other Thoughts:
This is a brand new course, the first of any in Door County North of the Sturgeon Bay bridge. I think this course has excellent potential and a lot of community support, that I would expect improvements to made in a streamlined fashion.
I didn't notice any water in play.
If you're looking for ace runs play the reds, if you're looking for a more "regular" course for someone who has played a couple dozen or hundred courses, play the blues; heck play em both and head to Mike's.
