Why bother? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

* You won't lose your disc.
* Regardless of skill level, you will complete the course in under 30 minutes.
*. Signage is good (albeit not even needed).

Cons:

* Course was designed without any real consideration of using any of the existing landscape (read: trees). There aren't a ton of trees to begin with, but the few that there are will not even factor into your shots. It is beyond explanation or reason why the baskets would be strategically placed AWAY from any tree(s). So, every hole is literally EXACTLY the same with a bit of difference in how far away the basket is.
* Water has always been an issue on the course (and I am not talking a lake/pond; I am referring to just sopping wet grass). For whatever reason, it can not rain for days, yet many of the holes will find you sloshing your way to the next hole (looking at you holes 7&8).
* The grass, even when cut, is not very short. Perhaps they keep the blade so high because it is constantly wet. Or perhaps because the grass is extremely thick. Either way, it will feel like you are walking in a field with ankle to calf high grass (which I will remind you, is all wet).

Other Thoughts:

I happen to live 5 minutes from this course, so therefore, by a horrible twist of fate, this would technically be my "home" course. Loyal is not a destination town and there is no real convenient reason one would pass through Loyal unless you were trying as it is fairly far off the path from HWY 29 or HWY 10. If you are anywhere remotely in this region, you will have most likely found MARSHFIELD has two different courses and your time would be entirely best spent playing there.

In summary, unless you live in Loyal, or have family that lives within 5 minutes of this course, you will have no shot to drive by or see this course, and I can promise you your life will be better for it.

At least its a course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 24, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It has disccatchers which are my least favorite out of non homemade baskets...sometimes. But there are baskets as opposed to the tone poles they had at first. Nice wood tee signs with par, hole # and distance just like so many courses in central WI. Its up all year though with the winters in loyal its not really playable in winter due to the weather. The wind offers the only challenge here with the minimal trees n the course, but can really factor in as its completely flat and open farmland everywhere around here.

Cons:

I hate Disccatchers so thats one for me. No water, elevation, or even trees to contend with. Wind is the only challenge here. Just bland but i work about 5 minutes away so its a good place to work on things with nothing else really close. Just a bland boring course in a really small town.

Other Thoughts:

Not worth the trip at all unless you happen to be in the area and i doubt you would ever be here. it's nice for the town, but if you have played even a few courses you'd be dissappointed in this one. pretty, pretty weak.
