Pros:
Narrows Creek DGC is a 9 hole course located in the small town of Loganville right off of highway 23. There's not much else going on in this park so it's basically disc golf exclusive the majority of the time. I've played here twice and haven't seen another person in the park.
There's been 9 baskets each of the times I've been here. These are temp style single chain models of some kind.
There's tee posts for most of the holes too. This helps with locating the tee location I guess (see more below).
The grass has been mowed each time and there's a creek that comes into play in three, potentially four spots which adds to the challenge a bit.
Free to play and plenty of parking most of the time I'd assume.

Cons:
The baskets. Oof. These are rough. They're pretty old by this point now. Most are leaning or just plain not mounted level to begin with. They're in pretty awful condition as well. Holes 2's basket had the cage laying on the ground below it. The chains are thin and they catch horrendously. Not good.
There used to be tee signs which were pretty well done actually. These are all long gone. Only some of the posts remain now. I take that back, there were a few fragments of signs left. Unreadable and utterly useless at this point.
I'm not entirely sure what the intended layout is. I'm pretty sure nobody knows. The Udisc map was the only thing I could go off of. That didn't line up with where a few of the baskets and tee posts were though. It's basically just a build your own adventure type of deal nowadays. Not necessarily a bad thing. The Udisc map would be a plain dumb way to play this course tbh.
The creek floods after heavy rains. I mean REALLY floods. The majority of the course was underwater the first time I tried to play here. There's also no bridge over the creek in the park. You need to walk over to the road to cross the creek after teeing off for hole two and also after teeing off for hole 9. Or to get to hole 9's tee I guess. Again, Nobody really knows.
There may or may not be 9 holes here at any given time. It sounds like they take a basket or three out from time to time to repair them. You show up and only find seven baskets. Again, and it can't be overstated, nobody knows.

Other Thoughts:
This course is not great, or even good really. The property is decent enough though that it's worth playing once. Even if you make up your own layout.
The amenities are terrible and the *intended* layout is wonky at best. It's also not near anything and is absolutely not worth any type of drive out of the way for. If for some reason you happen to be in the area do yourself a favor and drive the extra ten minutes north to play Half Moon Lagoon.

Pros:
Mixture of shot directions and basket placements offer a reasonable challenge for a village 9 basket course. Creek offers a peaceful water hazard, and the open field offers players opportunity to work on game with different ways to attack each basket.
Cons:
Layout is confusing at the moment without Tee signs or a bridge across the creek. More tree play could offer the perfect amount of difficulty. Open areas do offer chances for wind to carry disc in unwanted direction. Baskets are portable (staked down) and some shots do not catch as they would with dual chain setup.
Other Thoughts:
With Disconsin Disc Golf Club working with local officials, there are plans to build a footbridge from Basket 1 to Tee 2, allowing players to flow through the course effectively. Along with the footbridge, Tee signs and a course map at the pavilion are very close to completion.

Played the course:once
Pros:
- Very well maintained.
- Not many patrons
- A dedicated course w/ no interference for the most part. (Hole #9 is next to a playground.)
- Great course to work on your drives.
- Very easy to play in reverse and play a full 18.

Cons:
- No formal tees
- I feel like the course should be in reverse order so you can start near the parking lot. If you wish to play it as numbered, you have to walk to the far end of the course to start.
- No tee markers or maps.

Other Thoughts:
Another one of those "quick-9" courses. It would be great for beginners. Be careful of water hazard on #6 via Narrows Creek. Baskets are made by Pacific Outdoors.
