Hiestand was my favorite course. That to me is what disc golf should be. Token Creek was pretty good too, though I could have had a few less of the very open holes. Elver was good but it had a couple of goofy throw and hope holes. Capital Springs has too many open holes. I liked the elevation change and the few woods holes, but otherwise it doesn't seem like a very good course for a world championship competition. The rough at Bird's Ruins was ridiculous. I don't know how that passed muster for a tournament of this size. One guy throws into the rough and finds his disc in a couple minutes and still has a clear and open next shot. Another guy throws in the rough and the group can't find his disc within 3 minutes. Sorry, take a stroke and re-throw from your previous lie. Didn't happen to me, but it did to another guy in my group and I know it happened to many other people. I felt so bad for them. The tall grass was so bad that even having a spotter on the hole didn't mean you were going to find your disc, even if it was just 10-20 feet off the fairway.
The only other place I've ever been to Wisconsin was Highbridge, but they seem to have a different philosophy in course design in Madison. Maybe it's that way in Milwaukee and elsewhere, but I wouldn't know. Their course design approach seems to be heaven/hell - you're either in the fairway or you're in the rough with virtually no escape shot possible. I think a lot of players probably got into trouble thinking they could throw hyzer bombs over the rough, when wind conditions or the distance of carry just didn't allow it. It would take incredible discipline, but I think I would have thrown a midrange off every tee, especially at Bird's Ruin, because the risk of landing in the rough just wasn't worth it. It's not an optimal strategy for scoring and it's fairly boring golf, but it would prevent the big numbers from lost discs and short pitchout shots. I don't know if this "smart" golf strategy is the aim of the course design, but it's what I was struck with.

Shouldn't you be punished for being off the fairway? Madison is birdie fest IMO and easy enough to stay out of the rough. My gripe is the lack of milti shot holes and all the par 4s that are really par 3.5 at best.
I play in the open division when I do compete which is not often. However I do not lable myself a professional. Just like to play with good golfers.
:hfive:
I really like the Madison courses, but I've played much better courses and even only a couple of hours away (uhh....Rollin Ridge, anyone?).
I think Elver is the best of the bunch, but I get the smack down put on me when I say it aloud because Hiestand is king of the hill in Madison.
I'm guessing you think Pennsylvania golf is the best...

This. So many holes were driver off the tee and then a putter up shot. At least push some of those 4s back another 100 feet or more to make the up shot something interesting. I found it strange that there wasn't a single par 5 all week also.

There would have been a few if birds was all long tees. Not sure why so many shorts were played. Pace of play I guess, but adv played all longs in the glide series, so idk.
