Needs some TLC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

- The setting! The natural beauty of this course is amazing, and the nice neighborhood make it a great place to play.
- The baskets are all present and in great shape
- Elevation changes are a nice little challenge
- Length of holes is reasonable and gives you something to bite into
- Light traffic means easy rounds and no erosion

Cons:

- It's a wet one! First time I saw this course it was unplayable due to excessive flooding.
- A huge lack of signage. The signs used to be very nice and a couple still remain, but for the most part, a post is what you get to go by.
- Weeds. The weeds can definitely eat discs, so watch your shot.

Other Thoughts:

I truly enjoyed playing this course, rough shape and all. Overall, it plays a bit like sandlot disc golf. Kinda run down, but with character. This course likely isn't one that can be played all year, but for that matter, it's an autumn delight when the waters are low. New signs for both long and short tees would help greatly with finding your way. The course could probably even use some more holes, but they aren't necessary.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 28, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course has challenging throws from almost every tee, where water comes into play. It is set in a quiet neighborhood along slow rolling hills with the rouge river running through it. The course is well maintained and mowed in the summer. No trash or debris around to clutter up the course. Low traffic, low bugs

Cons:

Natural tee pads, but it makes for a little bit different game. Missing signs on hole 1,5,8. Course also floods about 2 feet or so all the way across after a hard rain. No benches or garbage cans so plan to pack your trash. Maybe hard to navigate first time around.

Other Thoughts:

A great course to play a night time round. No hassle from cops of people in neighborhood. One time some really young kids were selling discs that they pulled out of the creek. Don't jump in the creek its super muddy an extremely toxic!!
