Cons:
- Basket chains need repair, many outside chains were hanging loosely.
- Only 2 legitimate par 4 holes. #15 is pretty much a driving range 'bomb' hole. Adding trees near the tee, or the approach, or the basket would add more character and could force players to think through their shots differently.
Other Thoughts:
I drove a little over an hour, from Fort McCoy, WI, to try something different. I am so glad I took the time and had the opportunity to play this course and meet Bob.
Bob, the owner, is a wonderfully kind and generous man. He has developed an entertainment destination for adults and kids alike. The volleyball courts, mini-golf, and 'ball' golf driving range are near the clubhouse; the disc course plays around all of that with only the driving range possibly interfering on #15. (See map in links section)
I thought it was going to be gimmikie, but I was rather impressed with what Bob was able to do with the space he had. The water hazards, mostly creeks, is the most significant challenge to this course.
It's not that the pins are obnoxiously or unintelligently positioned, they are not; they are placed in positions where you can throw a good line and make a good shot. However, there are trees surrounding some pins that could deflect your shot straight into a deep creek bed with a flowing current, making it difficult if not impossible to retreive a disc. (Bob will call you, though, if he retrieves any discs with phone numbers)
The water challenges you to make a smart shot, whether that's lacing it on a line over a creek and through some trees or to lay up safely for an approach.
This course isn't at all a championship level course, but it is unique and challenging enough to provide some fun and excitement!
Bob has put together a great course that is worth playing, you should definitely play if you're in the area or passing through!
