Best in Central Wisc 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 1, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Challenging course in the woods with a large variety of shots, angles, and distances on all of its 33 holes. Spectacular rock work, landscaping and tree placement makes it a beautiful course for the whole family to enjoy. I like the "middle of the woods" atmosphere. I am confident that many great disc golfers will develop because of this well designed course. Standing Rocks constantly forces me to improve my disc control because of all the tight angles and gaps. Standing Rocks is the best course i have played in central Wisconsin.

Cons:

I can think of 1 or 2 holes that seem to be "connectors" in order to get from one tee to the next... would be nice if a little more creativity and work was done on these connector holes to make this course perfect.

Other Thoughts:

The $4 fee to play eliminates the "scrubs" and routy teens who seem to invade most of the other free to play courses in my area. Its truly enjoyable and tranquil playing at Standing Rocks. No trash laying on the ground, No Vandalism, No bullshit!

Pros:

Elevation!!! This course has elevation on every single hole. Uphill, downhill, valley shots you name it. Every hole is wooded as well but its in an older growth forest which is excellent because there is not to much undergrowth to eat your discs. The course is in excellent shape, little to no liter. Some really nice risk and reward holes too. Bad shots can get you in very big trouble on most holes, not the longest course but some distance and lots of accuracy needed to get a good scores.

Cons:

No cons at all!!!! In my mind, a signature Wisconsin course, wooded and hilly!!!

Other Thoughts:

This place is amazing and soon will have two 18 hole couses! Yulga near by is a very nice course as well.

Standing Rocks 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 19, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Challenging shots. Makes you try shots that you wouldnt do on an open course. There are multiple tees so that beginners can play as well as the vets that like more of a challange. Rocks has a really nice upkeep.

Cons:

Rubber Pads have uneven grounds under them. Bugs are bad, bring bug spray.

Other Thoughts:

Make sure that you bring somthing to drink. And watch your step on old hole 12. If you live nearby buy a season pass, it is well worth it...after 7 times it pays for it self. Bugs are bad, bring bug spray.

Standing Rocks is Unique 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 31, 1999 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Disclaimer: I have a bias and a hernia for this course.

Such a property is a gift to the disc golf community. And the disc colf community has gifted this course with their enthusiasim and generousity, thank you.

Every property has only so much to work with and the layout at Standing Rocks uses it to our advantage. The course, albeit not so long requires control and a variety of shots.
besides that it is a georgous park. Rocks are everywhere, creative use of the elevation and rock retaining walls. Veiws of the lake are great
There is a user fee that keeps some of the riff raff off of the course
The rubber tee mats are great for traction and easy on the knees, while they were lumpy at first, have been leveled as of late

Cons:

The new loop of 12 holes is not quite open yet!

Other Thoughts:

I prefer this course in spring or late summer/fall when the bugs are not as bad.
This park has room for many more holes. at least 30 additional holes are used for the various tournaments at the park.

Extended Home Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 1, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Incredible on all levels. Has nearly every shot, swooping heights, technical turns, long double drivers, and even a short quick ace run or two. This is a course worth travelling for. It can be a workout, so come prepared.

Cons:

No pavillion for grilling, but a cabin to rent out. Little far from home.

Other Thoughts:

This course can be overwhelming for beginners, but the views and serene surroundings are worth it.

Pros:

Beautiful course through wooded trails. Lots of elevation, tight fairways, good workout when playing, well laid out, and can cause a love/hate relationship.

Cons:

Not close enough to home.

Other Thoughts:

Definately one of the tops in Wisconsin. Play it if you're in the area.
