EPIC! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 16, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very well laid out course. Full of long bomber holes through the open fairway. Couple wooded drives, but mostly open. Ball Golf greens are OB, which is pretty cool. Signage was amazing. Got lost a couple times, but that was more my fault than the map/course.
Having a golf cart was pretty off the chain. Walked the first 7 holes then I realized that walking this was far out of my league.

Tees are natural, but were very flat (all but 1 I believe) and in great shape. Clearly marked. Course is so freaking huge, I just kinda threw from anywhere.

Couple water holes, nothing too intimidating though.

Pin placement is perfect. Plays through the natural flow of the back 9 very well.

Had the course to myself on Easter Sunday. Made for a really epic day, though I ended up about 25 strokes above par.

Cons:

Would be nice if the baskets had flags with hole number on them. Got a few of the baskets mixed up a couple times.

Other Thoughts:

Love this course! Can't wait to make the short trip from Lansing back to Laingsburg to play it again!

My Favorite Michigan Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Long, challenging, and diverse holes - especially on the developing second course- which has more play through the MI outdoors feel, but still allows golf cart access. Wide open fairways with plenty of ways to punish an errant throw- water hazards (owner tries to retrieve/return discs from pond cleanings) plus lots of wooded and wetland space to avoid. I think disc loss potential contributes to spectator enjoyment, especially for tournaments. Flows really well with the ball golfers, just feels like we are all Pine Hills members- fastest plays through if possible giving ball golfers the courtesy and right of play first. The owner is working on getting teepads from a new disc golf tee-box company that uses recycled rubber. I usually walk the first round which is always my 10k fitbit step challenge, then golf cart the rest of the time. Legal to buy beer/wine/liquor in the clubhouse and enjoy on the course; I think only one other MI course allows beer/wine but no liquor. I practice here on the valuable membership- which is a huge pro over the one time play fee in my opinion. There are a few porta potties out on the course and the clubhouse bathrooms are great- way better bathroom situation than any other course I've played. Sometimes the owner sells hotdogs/pizza at the clubhouse, or even in the small town of Laingsburg- there is a subway and a few local food joints or bars. Great spot to travel to and play a few times if you campout at Sleepy Hollow State Park also in Laingsburg and also one of the best courses for Michigan. Best course maintenance in the state, as far as I have played.

Cons:

There can be a lot of people, the Laingsburg high school golf team plays here; but it's never slowed me down more than what I get at other disc golf courses in the state- and the owner tries to direct you to start on the best hole for pacing considering them. I have lost quite a few discs out here, bring a disc gator for the water hazards, they leave a rowboat out by the hole 18 hotspot- and the owner tries to retrieve/return discs when they drag the pond weeds (I have gotten 2 back from the owner even!) You're also going to want bugspray, just like every MI course with water. Still waiting on the tee-pads, for now; but all the holes are clearly signed and many have benches/garbages by the tees.

Other Thoughts:

The owner is very friendly and tries to find time to play disc golf himself, awesome to see the commitment to development.
