- Level Consistent Teepads
- Classic Mach III's
- Very easy to navigate first time through
- Very good use of the land
- Where there are trees they are used
- Nice little hills.
- Wind can make it interesting
- Only a few holes have descent risk/reward (namely hole 1)
- Fun to play
- The pond seems to be seasonal, its very shallow and easy to retrieve your disc.

- Holes are straight forward and require little planning
- Not much shot variety
- The town of Sussex isn't very much and your limited on food choices, bring food. **I don't hold this against the course**
- I have no urge to play other than at tournaments
- Low scores are the norm (mid to high 40s)

Hole 1 of Village Park is deceiving. There you are standing atop a hill with the basket 50+ ft below and on the edge of a pond (not always there). You're pumped cause its a great opening hole.
then you get to hole 2 thru 4 and its just throw for the hole open shots.
Holes 5 thru 8 get you a little excited again as they are fun short holes. If you got a solid 200-250' straight throw they'll be quick birdies.
Holes 9 thru 14 are mostly open and require good shot placement for the easy birdies.
Hole 15 is a little interesting. the tee is slightly elevated over the basket and the hole right side is shut down by a row of trees. There is no line underneath shot either. For RH it requires a BH anhyzer or FH.
Hole 16 is a good chuck down hill towards the pine trees. Can be reached in 1 throw.
Hole 17 is my personal favorite on the course. It plays through several trees slightly uphill. There are multiple lines to take and the birdie feels very rewarding. If you hit a tree early it can make a simple par rough.
Hole 18 is a mostly open chuck uphill.

With all the courses in the Greater Milwaukee area this isn't very high on my list of stellar courses. If you're looking for a different course to play or want to add another notch to your belt then come play you wont be disappointed. Its a fun course but not one I get the urge to play...ever.

Fairly decent variety and balance, although much more open than wooded. The slight uphill/downhill available at the park is used nice. The small amount of trees are used okay (considering they are planted in rows, no dense mature forest here to speak of). And the balance of left/right/straight and long/short is pretty decent.

Overall very open, and most of the times I play here are in the summer - you will be baked by the sun. The few holes in the 'woods' are short, offer some pinballing, and are through row-planted trees which don't create a feeling of isolation or escape from everything else around you.
Despite some decent and respectable elevation in the park itself, the majority of the course is just flat.
Despite having some holes with 'huge' distance, they are almost entirely open, with no required landing zone or thought process on maybe laying up for a better approach (i.e. not a true par 4).
Only one set of tees here.
In my opinion, there is not one risky green here. All are wide open and not on or near any sort of dropoff which could induce a twoputt on the way back after a miss.

What's missing? Some more challenge maybe? Say there were to be some longer tees here, what would it buy you - just more distance, because there are not enough natural features (trees, ridges, bushes, etc) available or utilized here to really make any difference. Even if some alternate pin locations were added, the lack of natural features wouldn't make the holes really any different, just longer or shorter. So, this park has no easy or simple opportunity to become more. That's part of what grinds a local course into mediocrity. The small percenatge of locals who actually care about it, aren't going to be too challenged to build something bigger and better because they just can't.
I like this course more than a few courses I've rated a 3, but not as much as the any of the ones I've rated a 3.5 (I seem to have far too much score compression in this area of average courses - maybe so many courses are just plain average). So, in relation to all the other courses I've played, in light of the pros and cons of Sussex, and in consideration of my personal preferences, this course is good, a few holes and design elements do make it very good, but overall it falls into the lower category. Too many wide open greens, too many people to be able to lose yourself, too few tight wooded holes. It just doesn't have what it takes to get above average. It actually flirts with just a 2.5 - decent rating overall, and as my score compression continues to saturate the 2.5-3.5 disc range of average courses, this is one I'd bump down in relation to others, so it gets stuck below average.

The course plays through a large hilly park, and takes advantage of the many elevation changes present. There are some fun downhill shots where you can air it out, and some tricky but not too long uphill shots to make you work a little. There is great variety of distances here, from ace runs to long bombs, and that keeps it a little more interesting.

There are good concrete tees on all holes, with enough room and texture to make for good footing. The baskets are in good shape and catch well. The park was reasonably well maintained, with recently mowed grass, and most of the trash in the available containers.

The course is quite open, and derives nearly all the challenge from elevation, length and wind. The holes that bring more trees into play tend to be on the shorter side, and not very interesting shapes. You throw straight ahead on nearly every hole here, some more hole shape variety would go a long way.

The lack of signage is a shame, there are posts for tee signs but most are missing. The navigation isn't obvious in several places, and without tee signs to reassure you that you're on the correct hole, it's easy to skip ahead in a few places, and difficult to find any next tee at all in others. There are also a couple blind holes where it would be nice to know where to throw.

This course has some fun holes, but not enough challenge or variety to really be a must play course. If the signs were replaced and navigation was more reasonable I would be able to give it a higher rating, but a mediocre course that's hard to follow gets a bit frustrating. Beginners may find some of the holes a little long, but they're relatively trouble free so not too terribly punishing. More experienced players will enjoy some of the holes out here, but shouldn't expect to have much of their game tested.
