    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Johnson Park

    4.00 star(s) The hills have baskets! I played this course years ago with poles and was impressed by the elevation change and unique challenges presented by the dramatic changes. At the time I was super happy to have played it and was confused why other parks had baskets while this gem seemed to be...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Grand Rapids Rotary North

    3.50 star(s) maxed out This course plays on an extremely flat piece of riverside acreage with some fairways cut out through groves of cat-tails and the like. While this course doesn't particularly suit my game really well I had a fun time playing it. Being that this was at one time a ball golf course it is...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Allegan Jaycee Park

    1.50 star(s) putt putt It's the only course that is truly close to where I live. The possibility to instantly add to your ace totals (holes 5 and 6 so far) Park is descent looking, right along the river though water never really comes into play Maybe a good place to bring kids to introduce them to the...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Brewer Park

    3.00 star(s) What used to be be 2 is now 1. While there were things to like about the old set up I'm going to try to not judge the new course based against the old to the best of my ability. About a half half mix of moderately wooded and mowed fairway/tall grass rough through a park full of rolling hills...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Tower Park DGC

    3.50 star(s) Almost there! This course is a destination course. This is a very idyllic peace of land for a frisbee golf course. With sharp hills and mature trees to spare this is the dream land for a technical wooded course and Towers certainly delivers on that. On some courses you can read the distance...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Spring Valley Park

    3.00 star(s) Very Promising This course is set in a really nice looking park. As you enter the park the landscape really sets the tone for the type of round you are about to embark on. Nice grassy fairways that are pretty well groomed, a large pond that runs through the park that can potentially come into...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Red Arrow Golf Course

    2.00 star(s) I had fun but... Unique place where ball golf, meets frisbee golf, meets foot golf. Very interesting. I normally shun those silly ball golfers but I think it's kind of cool that we get the chance to turn them on to a better game at this venue :) Pretty much all open fairways which allow you...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Knollwood Park

    2.00 star(s) Old Jeans. This course is that pair of old tattered jeans that your wife wants you to throw out but you refuse to do so. There is a lot to like in my mind about small technical courses and that's what this is all about. I really enjoyed the mix of shots required to navigate the course. Hole 1...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Hammond Hill DGC

    3.50 star(s) Bring a friend and enjoy Lots of different angles and shots are necessary to navigate this course successfully. Ended up at 58 on my first time throwing the course and felt fairly good about it (+3). Great variety in terms of right to left, left to right. Having only played once I can say it...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Longview Park

    3.00 star(s) under-rated Good use of elevation, some fun memorable shots created by the use of the elevation - Good amount of distance along with a few tight challenging lines - Never gets too crowded due to the plethora of good courses in the area. natural tees make it difficult to navigate for a first...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Madison Meadow Park

    2.50 star(s) alright Good mix of longer and shorter holes - Though you can certainly play this course all backhand or all forehand there are places where one is more natural considering the tree lines in the fairways - Pretty easy to navigate, good tee signs and cement tees. Doesn't have any memorable shots...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Lombard Common Park

    1.50 star(s) Concrete tee pads (with the exception of hole 5) - baskets are in good shape (though they are not top notch baskets) - Holes 2,7, and 8 are alright - plays extremely quickly if you don't have much time for a round- every single hole can be aced (not quite sure if this is a good thing). Other...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Community Park

    4.00 star(s) aesthetically pleasing Nice tee pads and baskets are in good condition - Course is well maintained - Good pin locations that require different types of shots - Easy to find your way around (good signs/baskets guide you to next hole) - Most of the fairways are relatively forgiving - Few shots...

    Review by BuzzArmStrong in course Bradley Park

    3.50 star(s) nice course Cement Tees - Lots of elevation change throughout the park - Good variety of holes that call for different types of shots - Fairways range from fair to relatively open - Couple of well designed holes that are memorable (16 passing over the creek, 4 hooking hard down hill). Feels as...

    SSPX0185.jpg Ended up using a car tire for the basket (though that post about getting another bike rim was enticing but I just thought it would be a lot of work for a possibly flimsy basket (would look pretty cool though)). Catches great, just have to mess with a few little measurements and...
