Mid Range Bliss 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 13, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

~ Super fun, super quick (20 mins tops), especially if you were on the road and just wanted a practice game like myself, it still posed a challenge if going for only aces
~ Course flows from hole to hole, you end where you start
~ Seems to be maintained trash, trees, and grass wise
~ Sign at entry point stating the rules of course
~ Two other courses on site, not far from more fun
~ Free to play
~ Decent location off I-35, at least with GPS it is not hard to get there, via 23 or 210, there is an obvious sign at the Resort entrance to confirm that you have made it
~ Baskets are nice, tee markers at every tee with footage
~ Par 3 throughout course, easy to remember
~ Fair share of left hooks, right hooks, straights, with well placed trees on half the holes
~ An awesome view of the resort and skiing slope in background
~ You only need a decent midrange to play this course, take it easy and pack lite
~ Great for beginners, especially first timers, or to warm up, it's fun shooting for Aces for the moderately skilled
~ Disc Shop at the main office, as well as food and bathrooms
~ Nearby camping and cabins

Cons:

~ Course is a little tight, 1 and 8 overlap
~ There is building supplies in various locations throughout the course, such as the PVC pipes on 3 or stacks of lumber on 5, they are not critical to playing though, just not pleasing to the eyes
~ Tees are little dirt patches with a yellow stake marking the foul line of the tee
~ Despite the flow of the course, a posted course map would be cool
~ Parking is a little odd, you park on the edge of the resort's entry gravel road, It's low traffic, but there could be a small parking area, it just doesn't exist
~ I don't remember a trash can, but it would be nice
~ Hole 9 was missing when I went, I played number 1 again in it's place

Other Thoughts:

~ You are requested to go to the office first and sign a disclaimer paper
~ Play this course with a Par 2 in mind for every hole and you will be doing pretty good
~ Pond is currently low, there is swampy mud on the newer shoreline, only risky to land in the mud on 2 and 4
~ Great if you are in the area and need a quick game, I will visit again, and hope to see it improved
~ It was such a thrill, I played it three times
~ It looks like they are trying to install a new hole 9, they were clearing some trees near hole 1

Pros:

For a putter course, it's a fun play. 9 holes located near the entrance to the Mont Du Lac area. Free to play.

Very short shots. Water is in play on several holes.

Other Thoughts:

Fun for putter practice or to teach a new player.

The name of the course says it all 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy, mostly open, lightning fast play.

Cons:

Incredibly easy and not much variety.

Other Thoughts:

It's called the Ace Run for a reason. This is an incredibly short course in which all holes can be aced. This is a perfect course for a new person to learn to play. It's also a great warm up course of more experienced players to start with before hitting up either of the other 2 monster courses featured at MDL.

Beginners Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Small 9 hole course designed with beginners in mind. This course gets its name "ace run" because every hole is possible to ace. Open layout with a few trees and a small (but deep) pond. There are tee markers with a number plate marking each hole. Maps and Scorecards are available at the base lodge. If you aren't a beginner, this is also a great warm up or cool down course. There is no elevation changes on this course like Mont du Lac's other courses.

Cons:

Short, quick to play.
It's easy to lose discs in the pond if you over shoot. (None of the hole cross over the pond.)

Other Thoughts:

One of Three courses on the property. There is also a bar and grill on site in the base lodge. Camping on site with scheduled updates for the summer of 2015. They are also building rustic cabin rentals during the summer of 2015.

If you only have time to play one course at Mont du Lac, Go for the White Cedar!

Just bring a putter 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 16, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

All 8 holes are ace looks
Easy birds
Relaxing
Quick round
Free to play
Very kid friendly
Some water hazard

Cons:

All holes are only between 93-136 ft
No challenge
No tee pads/just markers
No elevation
Mostly straight on looks with some trees

Other Thoughts:

If you throw Mont du Lac this is a nice break from the heavy terrain and high elevation hiking. If you want to add another ace to your belt, chances are you'll snag one or at least get close mulpiple times. This would be perfect for starters and kids. I had fun and would recommend throwing if you are in the area. Yhere is really noy very much to say about the course. Very basic.
