Pros:
- Challenge of the course was an advanced level, i found myself having to stop and think about the types of throws needed, many times not able to reach the basket in a single drive off the tee which i really appreciate. Also, the level of difficulty was CONSTANT throughout the entire course, there were no easy holes, but at the same time there were not any annoying or overly difficult holes.I never like to see courses with random 150' easy layup holes mixed in with a bunch of 400'+.
- Requires variation of throwing skills, this course really challenged my skills in hyzer flips, forehands, anny turnovers, and playing smart lay ups off the tee as well as control throwing down hills. TIP: An overstable putter or midrange will handle better when thrown down hill.
- Not overly wooded, all of the holes had a clear pathway to throw and i never felt like there was a luck factor involved yet at the same time there was still a challenge, so many courses in wisconsin are so heavily wooded that you are playing plinko instead of disc golf. Really appreciated the difficulty being in hitting the right line and not about getting lucky!
- Replay-ability! I i could come back to this course 100 times and still never throw a perfect round, no annoying holes. Most courses i always come away complaining about 1 or more holes that are not fun to play, this is the FIRST course that i had 0 complaints design-wise when i was done.
- Quality of property is top tier, moderately hilly and interesting views. Also provides for good exercise but not overly difficult to walk.
- Tee pads were large enough, grippy and always pointed toward the right direction
- Grooming was done perfectly, not many branches hanging out into the fairway lines unless they were from a tree in the fairway that was meant to be there.
- Tee pads were often located in a way to prevent people from cheating with big sky hyzer lines to avoid the designed play of the hole, this is great to see.
- I can tell a lot of thought and advanced planning went into this course design.

Cons:
- I think it was after hole 9, or wherever you had to cross the road i accidentally skipped a hole i think i went to 11 and had to go back to play 10. This isnt a big deal, the next time i play i would know but for new people it was the only part of the course i wasn't sure where to go.
- No maps available at entry, not a big deal but nice to have, even a sign that you can take a picture of with a phone would be nice.

Other Thoughts:
- I couldn't believe i didn't have to pay to play here, i did donate money however.
- The only thing missing is some water hazard, and maybe some 700'+ multi-drive holes mixed in.. but this course is a consistent advanced challenge all the way to the end, to add more distance and challenge might push away some of the intermediate-advanced crowd, i think the course is perfectly targeted toward advanced level play right now but could easily become a pro-level course.
- I noticed good room left behind most of the tee pads which means the course could have longer tee pad placements in the future for even more of a challenge, maybe championship
pro level potential there.
- This is one of my new favorite courses in wisconsin, thanks to Terry Miller for building a well rounded advnaced disc golf course in the state of wisconsin, we need more of these, PLEASE.
