Some more information and takeaways from our trip this weekend..
We stayed in Blueberry #2 and I would consider it more as camping with a roof than sleeping in a cabin. We got there at 3am after a long drive on our first night and it looked like the light was on for the past week because the cabin was filled with bugs attracted to the light. We were so tired we sucked it up and cocooned up in our sleeping bags to keep the bugs out. In the cabin there are two queen beds and a couch on the lower level then 3 or so air mattresses on the loft. They were pretty flat so we didnt sleep on them and didnt find the pump until after we packed everything up to leave. The next day we went and bought 6 big citronella candles that made the cabin waaayyy better. The next night there were no bugs at all. We left those, a grill brush, grill tongs, and bug spray clip ons there for the next people to use. BB #2 had a fridge that worked great, stove we never used, propane grill, fire pit with plenty of wood, and power outlets. Stopped in the Honka House for a bit and that looked a lot nicer, aim to get that if you can.
Proshop was pretty basic, not a lot of discs but they did have some cool Highbridge stamped Legacy discs and some cool stickers we picked up. Here you can pick up scorecards for each individual course that also have a course map on the back as well as glow lights for playing Chestnut. Also make sure to sign your name on the wall. Was told the carts didn't work but John gave one cabin two carts for the weekend so who knows. Met a guy named Mike here who has been living there for 6 weeks helping out. Pretty goofy guy, was a big help all weekend and had some good stories.
Courses you can read all the reviews on and have been touched on many times. Its been said on here a lot but cant stress this enough..Bring as much bug spray as humanly possible. There are lots of woods, ponds, and tall grass which means mosquitos, flies, and ticks. If you dont come prepared you will not have a good time I promise you. 5 of us went through 3 cans of spray.I highly suggest having a spotter on just about every hole of Gold, Bear, and Granite for not only discs going in the woods but also random patches of water and ponds that aren't visible on the tee signs which are sometimes laminated drawings that some of are now blank from water or the sun. Reading the reviews there are way too many people complaining about navigation. As soon as you hole out look around for the white "Next Tee" sign if there isn't one obvious path. If you still cant find it every course's scorecard has a map on the back. We had to resort to looking at the map maybe 3 times all weekend only because there were 3 mowed paths to choose from and no sign. Bear was the only course not mowed for us, we played the first 9 but after that it was knee high grass. Wasnt a trash problem on the course at all when we went, teepads had crates for you to throw empties away. If the group drinking Hamm's all weekend is on DGCR you left behind about 6 cans of 3/4 full beer on benches that we found, never leave a soldier behind. The main courses are all awesome but I definitely think Woodland Greens doesn't get enough love in the reviews, great shorter technical course to mix up the distance heavy big brother courses. Aced 240' Hole 14 with a Roc3, first ace in almost 2 years! All the courses have different baskets to help you differentiate between. Chestnut at night was ok, it was really foggy so I'm sure it would be more fun with better visibility and less wet. We had to call it after 9 holes when the wet grass made all of our lights fall off.
Overall pretty awesome trip, would highly suggest it to anyone. Went up to Ashland for dinner one night and ate a huge prime rib dinner and a beer sampler at Deep Water Grille, tasted a lot better after a few days of hamburgers and hot dogs. Took a lot of pictures Ill probably upload eventually, if you're curious what the cabin looks like in the future shoot me a pm and Ill send them to you.
