This course is a beauty. I went in November after the leaves have fallen and had a blast. The layout of 18 holes makes a giant loop and for a first timer, navigation was not an issue because tees are marked with 4x4 posts in the ground.

The first 9-10 holes are quite open with a slight RHBH favor, with trees coming into play only on maybe 3 of them. The first holes are the longer ones and range from ~200'-500'+. These play around a lake and #4 forces a shot over a smaller pond guarded by trees. This was the most nerve-wracking hole for me.

11-16 are quite wooded and a lot shorter. One is only 100' but these are so tight and technical that they were fun as well. Not once while I was out there was I bored. Be advised that there is no line through 16. So wooded you can barely see the basket. Still fun though.

17 & 18 are open holes to finish it off and play around a lawn mower racing track. I only wished they were racing while I was there.

Signature hole is #7. Throwing off the top of a nice sized sledding hill was pretty cool.

Baskets are generally in good shape, catch well and none were wobbly or off centered, which is a big pet peeve of mine. Benches were on a few of the holes and were sturdy as well.

I do not think I saw one piece of litter the whole time I was there. Exceptionally clean place to play.

There are also plenty of other things to do in the park. Hiking/mountain bike trails, baseball fields, fishing and a playground for the little ones. Also saw quite a lot of wildlife including 3 white tailed deer and 2 rabbits in the woods.

The main thing that is holding this course back are the tee pads. The open hole tee pads are dirt and they are word into the ground. Sometimes 4-5 inch deep ruts. Since it recently rained, a few were filled with water. The ones in the woods aren't as bad as these are filled in with wood chips for the most part. Also, the fairway of 6 was filled with water from a rain of two days prior so bring a change of socks and shoes in the car if it rained recently.

I don't think I saw but maybe a few trash cans on the course and that was by hole 1 and 7's parking lot. Parking lot by hole 1 is small. 5-6 cars max. There is a large 100+ car lot by 7 so you could essentially start on 7 and then play a loop if you want.

This is a fairly decent flat course that I would not hesitate to stop at again when traveling. Just 3-4 minutes off the highway and very esay to get to. When entering the park, take the first road on the left and go through the woods. After you pass the lawnmower racing track on the left the parking lot is on the right by a small pavilion.

This course has the room, especially in the woods and the areas around the woods to make a few more holes and I would like to see a practice basket by the parking lot but this is still a solid course. Concrete tee pads could change this into a 3.5 course or higher if they cleared out a few of the wooded holes as well.

**Let me know if I left something out that you want to know about**

A lot of good shots. a nice down hill bomb. Some water could be in play. Wind can carry discs as it's very open. There is a god amount of wood and open fields.

Grooming could be done. A lot of tall rough. And a lot of stuff that is just to rough to even be able to walk in.

We meet up with the guys who work on thsi course and they helped us out and they actually had a golf cart which they would carry us around in and let us ride to the better ways to get to the rough. It was pretty new when we went and with a group of 6 we lost 5 discs. 2 in water and 3 in the woods.

The first 10 are good for beginner/intermediate players. Most holes are between 200-350 feet, with a couple being 350+. Hole 7 is a ton of fun, the Pro Tee is up on top of the sled hill, and throws 500ft down dead straight. Holes 11-16 are in the woods, and are more challenging. The holes are no more then 250ft long but there are a ton of trees, lots of possible aces, and more then enough birdies. Last 2 holes are very straight forward. Overall a fun little course.

Like most people said, the tees. They are made from a mixture of gravel, wood chips, and what looks like crushed up concrete. Hole 7 scared the pants off me when I threw, it is probably a 25ft hill, that is fairly steep, and with me having a somewhat long run up, I froze at the last second for fear of falling, still managed a good throw . Being that it is early in the year, I didn't run into bugs, but use common sense, there will be bugs in the woods on almost any course, so be prepared.

I will play here again, I live in Lansing, so I mainly frequent the local courses, this was a nice change of pace.

This course is slightly above average overall and provides good competition for the other courses in the area.

The Front Nine:
The front nine are wide open and close to water. Thankfully, the water is mostly on the right side of the hole, making throwing for a righty fairly easy.

The Back Nine:
The back nine is mostly in the woods, which is a nice change from shooting wide open holes. Once in awhile, the fairway to the basket is very small and it is better to throw a thumber.

The tee boxes are wood chips and dirt. When you're throwing you have to be aware of condition of the box.

The course is open on the front and woods in the back (business in the front and party in the back?). Most of the course is well marked.

-Lake Alliance is a fun course with good variety! The first half of the course is mostly open with both long and short holes. Hole #7 is a huge 500 ft. bomb off a sled hill. The 2nd half of the course is moslty wooded and technical with a couple open holes at the very end. Tee signs on every hole are nice. Theres really no place you can get lost on the course, besides maybe after hole #6 if you dont know you have to walk to the top of the hill. There's alot of chances for aces here, but the longer holes will make up for it on the score card. A few water hazards make for interesting shots too.

-For the most part the layout is good, but theres alot of spots you think maybe the placement of the pins or tees could be better or more challenging.

-Tee pads are wood chips, and they can factor in on your throws on some of the longer holes.

-Make sure you bring bug spray!! If not you'll get eaten alive on the back half of the course.

-Overall this course is worth the trip if in the area or near it. With all the ace runs, water hazards, and bomber hill, this course has a high fun factor in my opinion.
