Pros:
-Short holes
Many of the holes are under 300 feet, and this makes it very easy for a new player to grasp the concept.
-Good chains
The baskets are all good quality, and are some of the nicer chains I have seen in terms of disc catching ability.
-Not busy
During the school year, there are not many DGers on the course. During the summer months, there may be one or two groups other than mine.

Cons:
-Not challenging
Many of the holes are very short, and there is not much change in elevation.
-Location
Although this website says it is located in Roscommon, Kirtland is a 15 minute drive from the center of town. If you do not have directions to the course it will be extremely hard to find.

Other Thoughts:
The par 4 holes are frequently birdied, and would likely be par 3s at other courses. However, these are good opportunities to lower your score and improve your confidence.
The start of the course is to the left of the student center, which is the building that has the pond in front of it. The far left end parking lot on the left closest to the student center is where the course starts.
Hole 2 requires you to slightly backtrack down the fairway of Hole 1, which could be a hazard if there was more traffic here.
This is the first course I played, and I have grown to love the sport playing here. If you live in the area it is a great place to go.
If you do not live in the area, I would not recommend a long trip to come here. There are other courses within a 30 mile radius that would warrant a trip much more than Kirtland, such as the PDGA course at Hanson Hills or the Ogemaw Hills DGC.
Overall, this is a course to have fun with and not be seen as a challenge. It is a great place to work on your forehand drives, because many of the holes fade off to the right.
