The Good, the MAD, the Frolfy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 5, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Beautiful City Park property, with Elevation, Old Growth Pines, Hardwoods, and a Water Retention area

VARIETY- Shots, Trees, and Terrain

Shots: Every time I come back, this Course plays harder and longer than I remember. You are presented with a multitude of hole types here... a few open drives, few densely wooded, some deuce or die, and a few almost par 4s. If your game lacks imagination, it'll want not for frustration. I used every trick in my bag!

Trees: Most of the Course plays Park Style with Old Growth Trees... Holes 3 4 5 11 12 & 13 play in a denser Wooded area on the main Ridge of the Course. Holes 7 8 9 & 10 play in around an open drainage area at the bottom of the Ridge.

Terrain: No super Huge elevation out there, but Great use of the Ridge. Also great use of available Park space, course throws thru several diverse areas of this city Park.

Yellow Banded Innova Baskets

Concrete Blue Pads, and funds are being raised for Concrete Red pads. Great to see JJones and the MAD crew Improving this Gem

Cons:

The lowland area of the Park doesn't Dry up well, unfortunately. Water retention area also creates a buggier environment in the woods on the Ridge.

17 18 1 and 6 play close to the Main Park, not the Safest design. Some other Holes play by Roads/Sidewalks, could cause conflicts

Other Thoughts:

MAD Dg Club are doing a Monthly Match (first Saturday) to Fundraise and improve the Course. Great Fun, Formats, and Folks ... check it out :)

One of the better City Park Courses around

The combination of Shuie's and Jones's courses in Oconto, Peshtigo, and Marinette make for a Great getaway. Always fun and worth a Trip :)

The best around by far 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 22, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course is now 18 holes set in a pretty much disc golf exclusive park right in town. The baskets are Discatcher's that were all in very good shape and caught well. The Tees are all nice, level concrete that gripped nicely. There's a good amount of elevation changes throughout the course. Hole 2 is a fun uphill shot. Hole 8 is an awesome downhill bomber that let's you just rip it.Hole 12 is a narrow, downhill tunnel shot that requires a solid shot. The flow of the course is very intuitive except a couple spots. The walk from 7 to 8 can be confusing at first. Just look south up the sled hill and that's where the tee is. Most notably though is after hole 13 you have to walk down the hill past hole 1's tee and across the road to find 14. The tee signs are pretty basic but serve their purpose. They are present at EVERY hole and all have hole #, par, distance and a basic hole diagram. The designers did a fantastic job utilizing the park space here to make a well rounded, fun yet not just pitch and putt course. There are many types of shots here that will test all skill levels to some extent. The park was well maintained and very clean. The course is permanent and is free to play which are both bonuses. It wouldn't seem to be too crowded ever so you can toss a few rounds relatively quickly here.

Cons:

The tee pads are on the smallish side but are by far better than nothing and do work just fine though, just worth mentioning. The few longer walks from hole to hole can be a bit confusing for first timers. Nothing too major, and I pretty much covered those above anyway. Only one set of tees and pins for each hole. A few of the holes seem kind of like filler (Holes 3, 7 & 9) but they set up some really great holes (4 & 8) so it really balances out. Again, like almost every WI course the bugs can get nasty but just bring bug spray and it's a non issue. My biggest con by far though is the location of the tee signs. they are located right by the front right corner of the tee pad which for RHBH throwers like me is a real pain. I have too line up on the far left edge of the pad and ended up having a few bad releases worrying about cracking my hand on the signs. Either have them a few feet away from the tee or better yet a few feet from the back corner of the tee. This is a serious irritant for me, and it doesn't feel good actually hitting the sign (I've done it before) on your follow through.

Other Thoughts:

This is by far the best course within about an hour (I haven't played Pioneer trails in Escanaba yet), that I have played at least. This is a very well designed course. I was surprised how much fun it was after playing Coleman and Peshtigo right before this one. I feel this more a 3.75 than a 3.5 but that's not an option so I opted on the lower end due to single tee and pin set ups and the couple "connector" type holes. Very fun course though.

Pros:

A challenging course that weaves through the forest and utilizes the hills.

Hole 1 is a challenging shot through the trees where you need to hit your line.

Hole 2 is a shot that is on a hill where a water tower used to be. It is a deceiving hole.

Hole 4 is a beautiful and long tunnel shot. This hole will eat beginners up.

Hole 5 is a sharp left dog leg, but has a thumber line over the trees for righties.

Hole 6 is over some small hills and is out of view from the tee box.

Hole 7 is a 615 ft shot down hill and across a field that is maintained. The walk here can become wet as it is a bog-like area.

Hole 8 is a big hyzer for a righty and a perfect thumber for a lefty - easy hole for advanced players but adds a twist for beginners.

Hole 9- from the tee pad there is a solid tree-line to your right and open to the left, interesting hole.

Cons:

Tee boxes NEED to be concrete. They were supposed to be crushed limestone but realistically it is big white garden rocks.

Signs need to be put up.

Hole three is a 100 some odd foot shot that could be better if basket is slightly moved.

Other Thoughts:

This course was brought to the city council in June and put up in August. The tee pads and signs should be put up next summer, especially since the money is allocated for it.

The course will be kept up in winter and snow shoes will be up for rent from the city if people wanted to use them.

Alternate tee pads could be implemented next summer to make it an 18 hole course.

Course is free and still maintained.

If you play here in the summer, make sure you play hole 4 when the sun sets. The orange "glow" at the end of the beautiful tunnel is breath-taking.
