- Mostly wide open holes makes it beginner friendly.
- Concrete tee pads.
- Baskets are pretty solid.
- Variety of distance and elevation change in play.
- Camping nearby.

- Since it is wide open, it gets HOT during the day in summer.

Lake Linden is a fun 18 hole course to bring some family or friends out to. It can be challenging if the wind is up but on a calm day can get absolutely torched by an Advanced level player who can throw a 350 foot hyzer and make your circle one putts.

Well signed laid out well good beginner course

A lot of wide open shots no obstacles.some might find some hole long par 3 for beginners

Top of the line baskets (Chainstars powder-coated blue and gold). Spacious, natural course. Good flow. Nice variation of holes/challenges. Plenty of room to expand if they want.

Some of the natural tees are worn and uneven and hard to ensure a secure plant foot. Signage could use some work.

Beautiful spot for a course just on the other side of the Lake Linden-Hubbell campgrounds and Torch Lake. Student led project has evolved in just a year into a very nice course. All holes are par 3. Hole 4 downhill is a great place to let all your drivers go. Hole 8 at 440 ft. is quite a challenge to par and hole 9 has a number of ways to play it (the gap sure is tempting but 90% who do go for it end up in the trees). A great starting point for this course. Word has it they are looking to expand to 18 and possibly have poured teepads down the road. A promising course just in its infancy.

Lake Linden-Hubbell DGC is tucked behind the campground at the aptly-named Lake Linden Park. I wasn't sure what to expect, knowing it was a school project and all, but I'd give the kids an A+ for their work. Granted, this does not give it an automatic 5/5, but for a 9-hole course, it's got a lot going for it.

Pros:

Excellent, new baskets. They catch great and the colors make them extremely visible.

Tees: dirt, but reasonably flat. Signs with distance and directions at every tee, garbage buckets and benches throughout.

Easy navigation with mowed paths and several "next tee" signs.

Good variety - Each hole has it's own unique challenge. A quick rundown:

Hole 1: Flat, slightly left of tee. Perfect RHBH warmup hole.

Hole 2: Throw across a field, basket tucked behind trees.

Hole 3: Uphill toss with multiple paths to basket blocked by trees.

Hole 4: Downhill wide-open shot. If nobody is behind you, a great hole to empty the bag.

Hole 5: Basket tucked onto a tree-guarded penninsula. You probably won't find the water, but it's nice to have a hole that makes you worry a bit.

Hole 6: Short, uphill blind RHBH hyzer shot. Toss it and hope for the best.

Hole 7: The basket is effectively level with the tee, but there's a hill in the way. Either hyzer over (and face the wind) or keep it low and straight and see if you can skim the hilltop.

Hole 8: Another open field toss, but helped by a basket tucked into some trees.

Hole 9: Fairly wide fairway through trees, but the basket is through a narrow, low-ceiling gap. Thread the needle.

Camping on-sight and a nice beach/lake to go jump in on hot days.

The open holes rely on narrow-cut fairways to add challenge. So far, the rough is fairly thin, so there is not much incentive for accuracy.

Tees (upkeep concerns): Yes, they're reasonably flat, but dirt tees tend to wear down and erode quickly. Along with the dirt, there were some loose pebbles mixed in. Also, the signs were laminated paper stapled to the post. One was already torn off and stuck to the garbage bucket hook.

The course ends away from the first tee, so playing twice for 18 involves a bit of a walk back to the first tee.

It's a 9-hole, so you're always left wanting a little more.

I see lots of open land that could have been turned into more holes, but I think they made the right choice sticking with 9. No completely wooded holes, but trees are put into play where possible.

The cons are minor (unless upkeep becomes a problem) and if the score was just based on courses in the Keweenaw County area, it would easily be a 5/5.

I wouldn't call this a destination course, but on the other hand, if you're there to camp and do other touristy things, the fact that there's a very competent 9-hole course on sight is a huge selling point.
