4.00 star(s) If you can get there, if it is open Well cared for. I know everyone says this but these people really do this right. The course has some ultra long baskets (my age groups call every basket a three, makes it easier to keep score without having to write things down, but the practice on these...

4.50 star(s) simply the best I've played maybe a dozen courses in Wisconsin. My home course is Estabrook in Milwaukee. This is the best. This course is groomed (they planted hostas at the base of some of the baskets) and the pictures (I didn't take any) do NOT do it justice. A few of the baskets are down...

4.00 star(s) parklike totally enjoyable course for those of us who like to hit "3's" (or possibly "2's". Tees pads are long enough, baskets are short enough, terrain is diverse enough. At this time of the year the place is in perfect condition, green and lush without mosquitoes. Not all that easy to find...

4.00 star(s) Mad City different looks, not too technical but offering a challenge to my group. Hilly and very nice views. The course is hidden from most of the urban area that surrounds it. The pay to play aspect is a bit disconcerting for a city as liberal as Madison, but, in this day and age I suppose it...

2.00 star(s) Not a day at the beach It's in Florida and not too far from Ft Myers. Of the four courses in the area it is the best (and I gave it a 2.00. ). For the space they have it is very well designed, meaning they managed to find paths for 18 baskets with minimal intrusion on the rest of the community...

2.50 star(s) brown . . . . It's October so being able to play in Colorado near the mountains is a bonus. This course is short for the most part. The first nine holes go around a small shallow pond. We did not lose any disc's to the water. The trail markers are cool and the few maps that are left are very...

1.00 star(s) skip it. cute tee posts. no shade (you can actually see who is playing at all the holes at the same time), no challenge, but, if it were only that I'd say it was acceptable for practice. On this day the grass had not been cut for at least four weeks and without trash cans the garbage was...

thanks folks! I'm playing with a "mid range" grip on these shots, middle finger extended (instead of snug against the edge) towards the center of the disc, second finger only slightly curled, first finger (first digit) tight against the rim (or pointing down the edge), and fourth finger up...

3.50 star(s) A walk in the Park Beautiful park, the middle of Whitnall park area which is an extremely well maintained area. First few holes are challenging enough as they take you through some heavily wooded area, but with enough room to make reasonable shots. I don't think anyone can play the first 9...

stratus I've been practicing rollers (a tool we used to rely on back in the day, beach frisbees could be counted on to roll in ever decreasing spirals until they struck the pin) . . . . I'm looking for an actual chance to make the chains from around 40 or fifty feet. Rollers are great for...

2.00 star(s) home bias my home course. It is not as easy as it looks, but, mostly it's all about the '3's (with the occasional '2'). This is an excellent course to learn on. The holes are changed frequently, they are well marked and well measured. The park is well maintained, and the course itself begins...

4.00 star(s) pachenko the first "4.0" I've given. I agree with the people who marvel at how well designed this course is. At this time of the year it is ubelievably beautiful country and this course is great fun. Three tees for each hole and clear maps (on most of the holes.The longer tees are challenging...

thanks murph there is, of course, a corollary to murphy's law: murphy was an optimist. So far, after playing about a hundred rounds (this summer, I live near a very good course, and I'm getting to the point where I can address the trees by their given names), I have discovered the following...

thanks I play with a wraith . . . .plasticwise it is a DX (but I just bought a new "star" wraith) 171 gms, as a driver. I'm up to about 230 feet (on a good day . . .on an open hole where I can't hit any trees). To me it's all about the "spin" so after about a thousand throws I watched a 9 year...

3.50 star(s) Not George Carlin uniquely designed course. Extremely well maintained. More fun than most courses. Out of the way (so there is not much competition on a Sunday). It is very well marked, the maps are clear, the baskets are new. For those preferring concrete tees there are none here. The tee's...
