I75 Bagger Opportunity 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 16, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

(1.165 Rating) (REVISED - replayed March 2020) 2 additional baskets were added in the summer of 2019.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - The most beginner friendly course in town. No water and limited overgrowth areas. The odds of losing a disc due to an errant shot is near impossible. Players would have to leave one behind on accident to lose one.
- CHAINS - They are in good condition. Four of them are DISCatchers, and the 2 new ones are Chainstars if I recall correctly.
- GROW THE SPORT - No doubt will these baskets aid in growing the sport by offering easy access to learn the game on school grounds.

Cons:

6 basket course issues.
- REUSED BASKETS - The course has 12 tees and it sort-of plays in reverse after hole (6). This is going to cause issues if multiple groups are on the course. Thankfully no one was here when I replayed it and its likely also a low traffic course.
- # OF BASKETS - Now 6 baskets instead of 4, but that's still only 6.
- CHARACTER - Basically just baskets in a field and light woods. The tees were recently upgraded to concrete tile, but natural ground may have been better as I teed to the side several times. The tee signs are simple but work for this set-up.
- RAW BEAUTY - A mix of park style shots and open field shots. No elevation or water features. The course is located right next to I75, so the roar of the road will constantly be heard.

Other Thoughts:

I had originally scored this course a zero as it had degraded to just four baskets in an overgrown field. Fast forward three years later, 2 more donated baskets and a layout posted online to follow. That's not a zero in my opinion, hence this revision after my re-visit. The course will work great for those in the neighborhood or for those attending the school. For everyone else, nearby courses Jonesville and Northside will run circles around this one. I'd check out one of those before heading hear if passing thru on I75. Overall I've scored it a high 1.0, but I'd easily bump it to the 1.5 level if I ignored the fairway and basket reuse issues.
- LAYOUT NOTES - The tee pad for hole 1 and 9 is the first parking lot spot. The parking lot is OB. Hole (5) and (7) is an island green with a re-tee penalty for missing.
- MAINTENANCE - 50/50? The grounds had not been mowed when I stopped by in 2017 but it was completely mowed on my revisit in 2020.
- NAVIGATION - Without a map I could see some first time players straying the wrong direction. Nothing so difficult that a little scouting won't solve. I posted a revised map on DGCR.

Pros:

This is a place to come practice on decent baskets or have a shootout with some friends. Its wide open with one hole tucked back in some trees. Maybe use the billboard that runs along I-75 as an obstacle. All you have going here is imagination.

Cons:

This is really no more than a practice ground with no clear tee markings.

Other Thoughts:

4 baskets. Play them as you like. Seems like the people who work here don't mind just don't be here during school hours which must be weekdays until at least 3?
