I coulda liked it more if I would have been more successful navigating this small course. I would have been more successful had I read rhsrevo's review and navigational hints. Starting with the first hole, I was more than a little confused. My DGCR sheet says the first tee pad is just left of the basket. rhsrevo says it's way over there by the entrance gate. Not figuring out where the # 1 basket is and finding no tee pad makes me a sad boy.

The course is a rec course in it's challenge and length. There is a rare sighting, here in Michigan, of DGA baskets with the red, hard to read, numbers. The tee pads are natural and are fine for this course. Some of these pads have a small kickboard and some of these boards have the distance Sharpied on.

Amazing enough, old Daniel Boone finally found his way to the second hole. # 2 says it's 354' and you have to hit a gap in the woods to have any sucess on this hole. # 3 is the three's hole. # 3-300'-par 3. # 4 is a nice little 183' needing a slight hyser to reach the basket. Being lost in the woods set in here. I couldn't find # 5. # 6 is 297' through the trees. # 7 tee pad is close to the tennis courts. Someone has written the distance (297') with Sharpie on the kickboard. It took me way too long to figure out #'s 8 & 9.

Not much room to air it out.

Natural pads.

Lack of signage.

This course is better than this. The problems navigating Rush DGC really soured me on the course. How about updating the information sheet? How about adding a few simple navigational signs? This is normally the kind of course that I would like.

Sure, all the parts and pieces are there but they're super short and compacted.

Aesthetic-- plays through a small muti-use park in Georgetown Twp., MI. Plays along grass walking trails in the back side of the park so watch for walkers.

Baskets-- brand new Mach III's. great condition and orange bands add much needed visibility in some places.

Routing/nav-- pretty easy for the most part. even with the lack of teesigns, finding the next tee is pretty easy. #7 to #8 is the only place it's a little confusing and even that is simple.

Use of trees-- decent. once you escape 1,2,3 the use of the small scrubby trees definitely makes the course a little more interesting.

stroller friendly-- this will be a new one for me this year as I'm toting around a kiddo now but this place is easily navigated with a jogging stroller. It's a little rough in the areas where they removed trees but not terrible at all.

Challenge-- bring a mid and a putter and leave the rest at home. Although distances aren't listed or marked I'm pretty sure no hole is >200'. #7 and #8 are pretty legit holes that use the trees and natural topography to make things interesting. The big tree on #8 guarding the basket is cool. Other than that, this place is pretty wide open.

teesignage/kick strips-- just list the hole # and don't necessarily point towards the hole you're throwing at. #9 for example points about 45 degrees to the left of where you are actually throwing but #9 is the only hole on that side of the road so it's intuitive.

This is a great course to teach someone to disc, like their very first time throwing plastic. Other than that, for someone experienced, this place is very vanilla with a low challenge/fun rating from me.
