Fun rural course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 22, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

I really enjoyed playing Lumberjack Meadows. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tees, the pins, and the holes in general. This is a rural course with a about a 3:1 ratio of open fairways/meadow-typed holes to trickier, more wooded technical holes. I went with a few beginner players and I thought this was an excellent course to practice distance and technique. We rarely lost our disc which is a huge plus. We went during a weekday and we only saw one other group playing the course during our 3 hour outing.

Cons:

Most if not all holes have alternate A or B pins to throw at; however, the current pin is not selected nor are they consistently in the "A" slot or the "B" slot. This made it difficult to know where you should throw when the pin is not in a line of sight.
There are several aspects of this course that could be improved--but realistically this course is fine the way it is. If you are a seasoned disc golfer, it might be a tad on the easier side.

Other Thoughts:

I would definitely return to this course given the opportunity. As an out-of-towner spending some vacation time in Alpena, this course was an awesome time and I am glad I got the chance to play it.

Gem in Alpena, MI! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 8, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Big Sign easily visible from road, right next to entrance to course.

Hole and directional signage is in and the course is mowed with wide fairways making for easy navigation.

Big Concrete Pads (Pro Tees) and Red colored bricks marking Natural Pads (Short Tees)

It delivers a variety of shots and slight elevation changes.

Plenty of trash cans.

You may be the only person out there!

This is my home course and if you would like a guide, just ask me!

Cons:

Spring thaw or heavy rains can make holes 2 thru 4 soggy. A swamp is in play on holes 6 and 7.

The wind can be nasty on the open field holes.

Other Thoughts:

The local club has really pulled this course together within the last few months after acquiring the necessary funds to finish the course! (Namely the purchase of a riding lawn mower!)

The course still needs some landscaping finished in order to reach its full potential.

Pit toilets would be nice to have on site ... I'll start working on that thought !

If you play this course, please send me a message with anything you think could improve this course. Thanks!

Future plans include a driving range near basket 18/parking area.
