Better than expected 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 25, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Many short shots - basically a pitch and putt, save for the first hole, which is 340ish feet, but the rest are 150-250 feet approximately

Variety of ups, downs, open, wooded shots

Navigation while on the course was simple

***UPDATE 11/2016 Beautiful new Prodigy baskets make the course a bit better***

Cons:

Getting to the course - it is hard to find the course - park at the Mineral Museum and first tee is next to a soccer field.
Two holes (1 and 7) use the same fairway, one each direction, which could create a safety hazard, although both tees have views of the other, so it shouldn't be much of a problem

Some of the tee mats are uneven and on sloped ground, but they happen to be on the short holes, where you won't need a run up - the longer ones are nice and flat

Other Thoughts:

Judging by the reviews here I thought this wouldn't be worth my time, but I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of fun tree lanes to shape some fun shots - I played with a Roc that I purchased last minute because I didn't have my discs with me when I was in Houghton, but it was all I needed really.

Short but kinda fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 31, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

The holes around/through the woods were kind of fun. Very easy to figure out where to go; in terms of ease of finding the next hole it was laid out well.

Cons:

VERY short course, I think the longest hole was around 300 feet. A little on the boring side; no tee pads.

Decent 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Almost no waiting for other players, located near town, Clean

Cons:

Short, Too compact

Other Thoughts:

While I enjoy throwing a few rounds with some friends, this course is not exactly what I would call a good course. Its located on some of the worst land that MTU has and there is not much variation in the holes. I would like to see MTU improve or move the course back into some of the Tech trial's woods.
