-Huge property. You feel like you're in the middle of a vast space.
-Nice tees, smooth flat concrete.
-Benches and other seating at a number of holes.
-Some trashcans available.
-Quality baskets with hole numbers labelled (thank goodness!)
-Interesting ground cover, including lots of creeping juniper. A different character than a lot of Michigan courses.
-Rockpiles! Not as ornate as flip, but a pleasant accent to the course.
-Well defined fairways. Always lines without trees.

-Bad signage. Maybe some sharpie was written on some of them giving directions once, but its completely faded now. On a few occasions I threw to the wrong basket, only realizing when I could read the number on the basket, since there are none at the tees. The poles are there, it's almost got good signage, but its not quite finished.
-Rather flat.
-Long distances from the basket to the next tee, quite often, and its not always clear where to go.
-Some sections of rough can absolutely swallow your discs. I spent a good half hour looking for a disc that got taken by the wind off into some tall grass.
-Wind. The area is flat and the trees are juvenile, and sparse on the west end of the course, so there is little to impede a windy day messing up your game.
-Holes may be too open, overall, yet still lacking enough clear fairway. That is, there's little to run your disc into, but if you land it even slightly off the narrow mowed areas, you've got a search on your hands. The treed roughs are even worse, as the off-fairway trees here are thickly intertwined evergreens. Hard to travel through, hard to see through. The only blessing is they're hard for discs to travel through as well.
-A lot of the field holes feel the same, and the more wooded holes don't step up the personality quite enough.

This course appears to be a work in progress. It's got a good amount of potential, especially with the huge amount of space there. It seems like the people organizing this course are on the right track, and this course could become a source of pride for the whole area. But right now, it's not quite there yet. Moving a few larger trees into the field holes might help. Signage definitely would. Some short tees would be nice, and most places it would be easy to fit gold tees for the ridiculous arms. All these things would be good, but since it's got Alpena Community College money behind it, I'm not holding my breath.

Still it's a good property, decent holes, and not bad in the amenity department. And there really aren't many more options in this part of Michigan.
