A fun and challenging course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice variation of holes. It is nice that each hole was a par 3. The terrain and trees changed throughout the course which was cool for a nature person such as myself. I had a lot of fun at this course!

Cons:

Hard to find the beginning at first.

Oshtemo Longs 2+ years drive by

Passing through town - played only the long layout

Gorgeous course, well maintained
Well defined fairways
Solid test of skill in distance and accuracy
Course was fairly easy to navigate, having never seen the course before
Course was very clean

Cons:

Tee signs were in sad shape on most holes

518' par 3 down a wooded fairway? That's awesome.

not bad 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

nice semi wide fairways and open shots, followed by doglegs going each way, mostly wooded but par is managable on every hole with some skill, has 2 tees(pro/regular). easy course to walk an play on, might even see some box turltes scuttling around the pathways.

Cons:

mostly wooded so you may be looking for discs if you hyzer it too hard. in the thick pines later in the round, be sure to check if its "floating" in a branch first...ive found more discs there doing that than looking on ground, most wooded areas arent so thick but are a pain in some shots.

Other Thoughts:

great place to play, minimal trash, some cool artwork on the tee off areas and a practice putting area as you approach #1 which is nice, parking is readily available.

popular course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 31, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Challenging, long, cement tee boxes for longs and shorts, there is a great variety unless you want easy hole. elevation changes. accuracy is the key. lots of parking.

Cons:

way to many people play the shorts and everyone gets backed up. tons of people. no water holes

Other Thoughts:

don't mess up those woods on the sides for the fairway a rough to get out of and to find discs. this course will make you get better or make you broke. its in a college area so if you want to have a relaxed fun time play it early when there isn't a ton of people there yet

Beautiful course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 3, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Hands down, THE cleanest course I have visited. Extremely well maintained. No damaged signs/baskets. Brooms at the teepads.

Aside from the above, the course is extremely fun and offers a wide variety of different shots, though it does seem to use a lot of right hook designs.

Still being a beginner at the game of Disc Golf, I am trying to travel to area courses and have seen Flip City, Branstrom, Big Rapids, Hickory Hills (Traverse City) and pretty much any of the courses within a 30 mile radius of Grand Rapids. This will go in the top 5 of the courses I have played this year.

Cons:

Wanted to play from the pro Tee Pads, but every time we tried, a group, or another player would walk up to the amateur tee pads and Tee off in front of us. The trails in the park seem to favor those pads and people don't tend to look to see if anyone is teeing off behind them.

Other Thoughts:

Have I mentioned how clean and well maintained this park is?

Mastering the Sky 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 2, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Lots of variation, no water hazzards

Cons:

- Could use some nice benches

- Chances of losing a disc increase in the summer when foliage is thick

- Can get too busy in the later part of the day

- Homeless people turn over the trash looking for returnables for money and leave it scattered.

Other Thoughts:

This is a course that is both challenging and rewarding. With the help of players to keep the course clean Oshtemo has the potential to become a top rated course.

Favorite Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 3, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is my favorite course so far! I liked the variety and the seclusion. The concrete tee pads are great and the baskets are easy to spot, for the most part. I'm sure that the wilderness in the summer will be beautiful.

Cons:

lots of heavily wooded holes and lots of trash, there were trash cans but all of them were over-full. Don't know if anyone is emptying them.

Other Thoughts:

I'm new to all of this still....

2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 17, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good course from the shorts, GREAT course from the longs. Excellent, big cement tee pads. Fairways are fair...good shots rewarded, poor shots in jail. Four straight holes, six right to left, eight left to right. Six holes under 300', three 495' or longer.

Cons:

Very crowded when college students are in town...play early on weekends. Two "wishing well" elevated baskets are gimmicky.
