Layout makes the best of what the park had to offer. There's a good mix of forest and field holes. It probably took a lot of work to cut through the woods for some holes and there's a lot of stumps to look out for.

Should be minimal interaction with other parkgoers but two holes get close to a tennis court and a soccer/baseball field.

Informative signs that clearly indicate alternative tee pads and course layout.

I played the short tees on my playthrough as I was just looking for a quick round during a travel break. It seemed like the short tees favored right-handed backhand throws while the long tees were better for right-handed forehand. I doubt that was on purpose but it was pretty consistent.

The hill the hole 9 basket sits on is nicely built. I enjoy these built features on courses as they display a kind of care and professionalism that a disc golf course can add to a park.

Easy to get to the course from the highway.

There are a ton of trees and many of the fairways have unforgiving roughs filled with many small trees that make saving throws impossible.

Since it's a new course, the fairways are pretty rough yet with lots of stumps and uneven ground. Gotta watch your step constantly.

There's times where the holes feel a little close to each other but with the density of trees between fairways there shouldn't be too much risk of interfering with other players.

I went to the wrong parking lot (there's 3 different lots) and it took some time to find hole 1. It's partially my fault for not looking up directions but another wayfinding sign or two would have been beneficial.

Only 9 mid to short length holes so it's hard to justify going too far out of your way for this one. It's mostly good for travelers or locals who need a change of pace.

Also the proximity to the interstate highway really impacts the ambient noise here. Constant sound of traffic and trucks, etc.

Wausau needs more legitimate disc golf courses and this one is certainly better than most of what currently exists there. That it is only 9 holes limits its upside as a destination, rather it is better served as a pitstop on the way to courses further north.

It's great that the locals have a new, challenging course within reasonable traveling distance but it won't do enough to establish Wausau as a larger disc golf destination.

Liberty Park disc golf course is the newest addition to Wausau disc golf scene. And it's a good one at that. Nine holes in a disc golf exclusive section in the south section of the park. The course is free to play and permanent.

Dual tee pads on 5 of the 9 holes here. Hole 9's don't alter the shot shot very much just adds 30 to 40 feet in distance. The other 4 change the shape of the shot a bit more. Holes 4 and 5 especially. Making these almost impossible to 2 for most. Outside of a throw in from distance. Tees are nice grippy, level rubber mats layed down atop a gravel base. Nicely done.

The baskets are brand new orange powdercoated Mach V's. Love these things. They caught great today and are some of my personal favorite targets. It appears there's one pin position per hole. I could be wrong about hole 7 I believe it was. It showed 2 pin positions on that hole's tee sign, but the righter of the 2 was crossed off. Maybe that's for later down the line.

The course offers a great mix of shot shapes required to score well. You'll have to use all the tricks in your bag out here. Especially if you end up off the fairways. I threw more sidearms today than I threw in the last calendar year it felt like. And I'm only half joking about that.

Pretty large parking area with a practice basket along the entrance into the parking lot. A few benches and trash cans scattered throughout the course too.

The tee signs are very well done. A basic but effective hole overlay map, Hole # with corresponding pad letter, Distances from both tees. The only thing missing was the pars. We played them all as 3's so it was a moot point in that respect.

Hole 8 is probably the signature hole of the course. It's not very long but good lord is it tight. You need to hit a probably, 6 foot wide gap 30 or so feet off the tee and cruise down a tight hallway to get a look. Anything even a little bit off the fairway can be disastrous.

Hole 9 is the second most boring hole on the course imo. But the green is elevated and gorgeous. All around great design for the tiny piece of the park they had to work with.

I'm going to note this with the caveat that this is a brand new course. But my main gripe about Liberty is the rough. The course plays through mixed woods. But the little pine trees off the side of almost all the fairways make saving par with even a slightly errant shot nearly impossible.

A couple of the holes seem practically impossible to birdie. Hole 2 from either pad, 4A and 5A come to mind right off the bat. Maybe with a couple trees removed late in the fairway on 2 and this is remedied. 5A is essentially a par 4 as is. That or the toughest 300ish foot par 3 you're likely to see.

A couple holes play nearish to each other. I wouldn't really consider it a safety issue per se, more a what basket am I going to thing. From hole 7 the first basket you'll see is hole 1's. Actually I suppose that's the only one but it's worth noting.

I was torn between a 2.5 and a 3 for this one. I'm going to give it the benefit of being brand new and I honestly think it will improve just by foot traffic alone. A tree or 2 being taken out here or there would open up some more lines.

All in all though, this is a fantastic addition to the area and I'm certainly glad to have it within an hour of my place. Not a destination course by any means but pretty much the 2nd best course in the Wausau area behind only Yellowbanks imo. Absolutely worth a round or 2 if you're nearby or traveling through.
