Super 9 hole 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 26, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a great 9 hole course, one of the best I've played. I believe they took the 9 baskets from what was loosely called a course in town and applied them here. The layout is great, and I can only imagine it's even better when the leaves are on the trees. The Am tees aren't the toughest, but they are still interesting enough. My favorite holes were 2, 4, and 9. 2 is a 90degree dogleg right and takes a skillful shot to have a chance for birdie, even from the short tee. 4 is a really nice tunnel shot. 9 is a full U-turn that could easily be considered a par 4, even from the shorts. The tee pads are really nice trapezoid concrete, which are nearly identical to Tendik Park in Saukville (which is a good thing).

Cons:

Obviously this is a very new course, as walkways aren't clearly defined as of yet. There is also no signage, so navigating your first round is a bit of a challenge. My main complaint, though, is that this is only 9 holes. I know there are space constraints with the nearby campground, but if they'd put in another 9, I'd drive the 45-50 mins quite often. If this were 18 holes of this quality, I'd probably give it a 4.5.

Other Thoughts:

This is really a gorgeous spot. We got there, and there was a woodpile about 50ft to our right that had a large hawk sitting there watching us. Hole 4, we were standing on the tee and a deer came wandering out of the woods and right next to the basket. Freakin' awesome. We actually stopped here because Zobel was closed (our fault for not checking the site!!) and we were on our way to Beaver Dam. I will say we found an absolute gem, which will only get better.

Appreciate the review!

18 would be awesome, but we have some protected wetlands to the North, and the forest to the East is a natural area (See [URL=http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/naturalareas/index.asp?SNA=51]http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands...ex.asp?SNA=51[/URL]for more info)
We decided that doing 9 awesome holes was the best choice for the land we had to work with.

Nice upgrade for Waupun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 30, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 holes that easily play as 18 with the long and short tee's. Play the first 9 short then play the next 9 from the long and you have a full 18 hole course as the tee's offer different lines and not just more distance.

The first pro for this course is the upgrade from the Tanner Park course, it nice to see a course with some thought to it. So special thanks to WARP (Waupun Area Recreational Project) who helped financially make this course happen and to Keith and Ryan for building a successful course.


1. The long tees requires you to pick and hit your line.
2. Great looking course through a nice woods.
3. Baskets are in great shape
4. Good Variety of shots, making you think about your line at pretty much every tee.
5. Short Tees are a good chance to practice some mid-range shots and great for beginners.
6. Course has good flow and loops back to parking and tee 1
7. The best part of the upgrades over the last year are the signs! I have played over 50 courses and have never seen such beautiful signage. Well Done!

Hole #4 is by far my favorite, It tempts you to ace run at it, but if you go long your into thorn trees. Now there is a risk and reward shot for you.

Another part of this course that you won't find in lots of review, is the Culture of the disc golfers that play here.
The course is clean with no vandalism. Play a tournament and get a chance to meet the guys who put in the hard work to make a sweet course.

Cons:

This is a course in the working so the cons should work themselves out, at which time I will gladly raise my rating based on how the course works then. (Which was re-reviewed on July 6th 2013)

1. The roughs are very rough. Going off the fairway can be rewarded with a long look to find your disc or on holes four a big set of thorns. But this is also apart of the risk and reward the course offers.

2. Not much you can do about this either but being in dense wood you will have lots of bug! But grab the DEET and hit this course.

Other Thoughts:

If your in the Waupun area hit this course!
I plays well and is a lot of fun.

Thanks for the (first!) review!

See my reply to stardoggy for more info regarding 9 holes vs 18 holes.
