Other Thoughts:
Ok overall, I did enjoy playing this course, and I Know that disc is just starting to take off in the UP, I played 4 courses during a UP trip, and this one was my least favorite. With that said, I would play it again.
I personally thought that the pin placement was not the best. The alternative pins were in, and I honestly found some of the placements to make no sense at all. I am not against challenge, I like hard courses, but many of the alt pin locations had no real fairway leading to them - one literally was tucked off the back of the "regular" fairway through what I would consider rough with no real shot through it other than luck. Many of them also had no realistic lines to them either.
Some of the holes were in ROUGH condition with debris, and just generally needed to be "beat in." From what I was told by a local, a few of the hole were just put in, so I am sure this will change as the course gets more traffic.
The navigation was really hard, If i was not playing with a local, it would have been really frustrating.
You can tell lots of love was put into the course but It appeared to me that the designer tried to do too much with it. Some of them were just dumb hard for the sake of being hard. With the regular pins in it may have played a bit different. there were some great holes though.
The lack of concrete pads seems to be common across the UP, and i am sure more courses will get them as things are updated and disc gets more popular, but even rubber pads would be a great advent to this course and would have bumped my rating up a little.
