Open up and let it rip! drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 25, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Parking available by the course
- Wide open, not too much hazard in play
- Plenty of distance required.
- Not too busy
- Navigation is simple
- Concrete pads and tee signs for each hole

Cons:

- Not a whole lot of challenge unless you play with long grass OB.
- Not a whole lot of risk/reward.

Other Thoughts:

The two rounds I played this course at were a tournament where the long grass was OB. This brought some teeth to the course. Playing the course straight up, the only challenge is distance. If I was in the area I would play it again for fun, but not a must-go by any means.

Pros:

18 hole layout
Maps on all the tees
Nice use of the property it's built on
Easy to find
Generally not crowded

Cons:

Tee boxes are in bad shape
Windy
Parking

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun, fairly quick 18 hole course. The layout allows for two nines to be played, with the ninth basket near the parking area. Unfortunately, the 18th basket is a ways from the parking area, making for a decent walk back.
The course is pretty flat, but the design plays around/through the trees and tall grass in the area. There are some smaller hills that come into play for the last few holes, one with a blind uphill shot at the basket.
The layout does play through some trees and rough, but it's pretty wide open for the most part. The wind can be, and usually is, pretty bad out here. The layout also plays around some of the baseball fields, near some roads, and a hole near the water. These all add some nice OB possibilities, though the tee signs don't list any OB.
There's a nice mix of long, short, left, and right holes but since it's fairly wide open, it's hard to have a bad shot unless OB is in play. The course plays pretty quick, so it's nice for some fast rounds.
This course is good for beginners but can be made more challenging by playing the OBs. With the convenience of the course location, enjoyable layout, and relative ease of play, this course has a decent replay value. Combined with the courses in Cameron, Chetek, and Barron, this course adds to a nice day of disc golf.

Throwing for a 2 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 17, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Course is easy to follow, signs point to next tee
Close Parking
Course Sign Board for posting events
Garbage Cans

Cons:

A few of the tees are eroding badly, causing rocks and ruts.
No OB is marked or played.
Baseball parents feel the need to park on hole 15, ignoring the parking lot above.

Other Thoughts:

People say this course is easy, but I see them not playing tall grass as OB, nor as the baseball field as OB, as it isn't marked anywhere.
If the course designer or maintainer would update the signs to reflect OB, it would make the course a bit better.

The wind is a major variable here, sometimes it is ridiculously windy and hard to control your disc.

I would up the rating if the tees were fixed, and OB was marked on signs.

I have gotten a 2 on every hole here, so imo, the distances are about right for the obstacles.

Pros:

Well as a beginner I believe this course to be great for those who are just starting off. With all of the different styles of holes you really get to try and learn new things, and that really helped me develop my form, that includes my run up, mid range play, hyzer shots, approaches, and putts.

Cons:

I will say that it would be nice to have a little better tee-pads, seeing as they are just the natural ground/dirt they are very worn in and really unforgiving, and if it rains you will either have to play on the side or go threw a pretty decent mud puddle.

Also some of the wholes on the back nine are really close to baseball fields, and on some days they will be very packed, and with a little wind players can lose there disc into the fields, and that's not to much fun when a game is going on -_-.

Other Thoughts:

All, and all this course is fun, and I would recommend it if your in the area.
