Fun beginners course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 29, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well maintained and nice baskets. Cool holes over the water and 9 is crazy difficult but fun.

Cons:

The tee areas are really bad. Tee\'d off in front of or next to line on most. Giant Paper wasp hive on pavilion. Look out.

Other Thoughts:

Fun place to bring a beginner. We cooked food at the pavilion after 9. Cool little place.

My favorite course in the Barron Area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 28, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a fun Par 3 course. It's great for beginners learning to throw lines with their disc and disc selection and shot placement are key. Most of the holes are potentially ace-able, even for a new player and shooting par is no problem. Every hole is signed and the pathing is very easy to follow.

There is a bathroom, pavilion, water well pump and garbage cans all around. The course is well maintained and if you bring a mid day meal you could easily spend a full day out there.

Cons:

There is a stillwater swamp that you throw over on hole 8. While your unlikely to lose a disc in it (it's only about 50 feet across and right up against the tee pad), on less windy days the mosquitoes must be awful. Bring bug spray.

You have to double back from the pin on 5 to play 6, and do the same thing again from pin 6 to the 7 tee pad.

Any shot off the beaten path is very rough. My friend lost the same disc twice in two different areas (Hole 1 and 8). Unfortunately we couldn't turn it up the second time. Fortunately he put his number on it after losing it the first time.

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoy this course. It's not to heavily wooded like Chetek but gives you enough obstacles to throw similar kinds of shots. Most of the holes are around 200 feet so your midranges and putters will really feel the love. Ace runs for days when you get better.

It's not worth much of a commute unless your a beginner looking for a nice easy course, but if you're local, it's a fun little pitch and putt course.

All the holes are par 3.

Hole 1: Tee off is next to the water pump by the pavilion. Danger left as it's wooded. A large fern blocks direct shots at the hole down by the road.

Hole 2: Tee off is next to the treeline by the tennis court. Treeline blocks most hyzer approaches while there is danger in going to far left into the road. One of my favorite holes to play it low and fast on.

Hole 3: Tee is just right of hole 2 pin. Very strait forward hole, a tree to the right makes hyzers a bit more dangerous but it can be bent around pretty easily.

Hole 4. Tee is across the road left of hole 3. One of the more difficult holes. I little longer and you have to cross a field and then a treeline to get to the pin. Still par-able but much more difficult to hit chains on your throw.

Hole 5. Walk back towards the road to find the Tee. I love this hole, a strait low chute to an uphill pin. Fire away and keep it strait.

Hole 6. Walk back towards the hole 5 tee pad. Pad should be about 30 feet to the left. Very similar to 5, a bush blocks more direct shots to the hole but a good hyzer line will get you right there.

Hole 7. Walk back to tee pad 6. Pad should be about 30 feet to the left of it. Danger long here if you go into the woods. Perhaps the longest hole on the course. Right side tree line makes it much more difficult to go directly to the pin so throw anhyzer or aim down the right chute.

Hole 8. From hole 7's pin, go right to the clearing by the fence. You should find the pin right in front of a swamp. Pretty short hole. A small 50 foot wide swamp is directly in front of the pad but the pin is well clear of it.

Hole 9. Walk through the clearing behind the 8 pin and you should find the 9 tee pad to the left. A very short hard dog leg right. There is more swamp left as well so keep it as right as you can.

There is a secret tee pad in the woods to the left of hole 1's pin. Shoot out from it to the putting pin for the secret hole 10 =). The best time to play it is right after finishing one. Cross the path that ran along one on the left side. There's a wood block to mark where the tee starts.

Tiny town, great course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 14, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Plenty of birdies and aces to be had, but the holes are not without challenges. There's trees, some baskets tucked into thick woods, low ceilings, etc. Varied shot selection. Plays fast. Easy to find and navigate. Wind not usually a big factor. Well-maintained.

Cons:

Easy to loose discs-thick forest areas behind some baskets in tall grass, swamp and thick white pins if throw too high.

Other Thoughts:

Reeve is probably the tiniest place with a disc golf course. Great Discraft Ace Race site in September.

Revee park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 17, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good course that runs through lots of mature trees that will make you throw every shot in the book good for beginners and intermediate players but pros will find it short longest hole is around 250ft but its my home course and I play it pretty much everyday

Cons:

Only par 3 course and natural tees can be under water with some rain but all in all decent course

Other Thoughts:

good course to check out if your in the area
