spactacular fairways ,lots of high up top teepads that have you throwing over trees ,to the next hill or down it . super fun long holes and ace run shorties too . Some of these fairways look quite scary when you first see them.

if it gets really windy you better keep your sense of humor

3 24 hole courses 72 total , all in one park by the lake ,with a campground a 5 minute walk away . its amazing to think two of these courses went in 1993 , and still relevant design today , two of these courses actually share baskets AND IT WORKS top that one

- Goliath towers over the other two Ma Co courses (Beauty and Beast). Starting near Beauty #1, Goliath mixes short technical holes (Holes B and F are under 200'), long open bombers (#'s 8 and 18 are both over 700'), and just about everything in between. Goliath is tricky. Blind pin positions, patches of schule where it looks clear from the tee, and safety zones that look like the thickest of thick until you see them from a different angle help make Goliath sort of a "thinking man's" course. Scouting ahead is rewarded on most holes for those unfamiliar with the course.
- Good signage and score cards make navigating Goliath pretty easy, despite it playing Beast backwards (with the letter holes thrown in for good measure). Look for the lime green rocks for next tee directions. Check the map on the scorecard for OB listings, or for blind pin positions (although, again, scouting ahead to see the exact location helps immensly).
- No throwaway holes. Every single hole brings it. Even the short ones are challenging and interesting. It never feels as though a hole or design element is repeated, with the possible exception of #'s 8 and 18. Even in that case the greens are vastly different.
- Strategic use of OB. The park road (which sees little traffic) would probably have dissuaded lesser designers from even attempting to put Goliath in the ground. Instead, they take what is usually a con on most courses (crossing roadways) and make it a very cool aspect of this course. Several holes make you decide whether to lay up short of the road or go for it. Definitely the best use of road OB I've seen, and a fun element to contend with during the round.
- Natural beauty. Despite the name "Goliath," this course ain't ugly. Lots of great wooded spots, moderate elevation, grassy areas, and sandy patches due to the extreme proximity to Lake Michigan.
- Location. Beauty, Beast, Leviathan, Flip...just to name a few. Why the hell WOULDN'T you come play this area?

- The tees are not ideal. That said, they shouldn't detract too much from the round for most players. While concrete in most if not all locations, they run a bit on the short side.
- Navigation on busy days might cause some confusion as well as potentially hazardous play. Most players know what's going on (Beast and Goliath sharing baskets) and "right of way" is usually given without hassle. Send spotters on the blind holes to ensure you're not throwing on Beast discers throwing to the same basket.

- Goliath is amazing. If it weren't for the fact that it shares Beast's baskets, I'd give it a 5 disc rating. The deceptive nature of the holes give it a major replayability factor that can't be ignored. I feel like although I've spent a good chunk of time on Goliath, I'm still only beginning to scratch the surface. I'll be back.
- $1/day to play is just damn ridiculous for the amount of awesomesauce presented. Be sure to stuff your money in the box when you pick up a score card, or may your slingshot fail.
