Tossing Plastic (Hunter) is making some great local Michigan course content videos. He just did the Tinderbox in Ludington, a little gem that has got some great reviews here on DGCR.

Fairway to Heavan. the new course in Pentwater has now been open for a month. It's an absolute blast to play and one of the best in West Michigan. Here is a recently released video of the course being played: Udisc: Fairway To Heaven - Pentwater, MI | UDisc Disc Golf Course Directory | UDisc...

Anyone else who watches the Udisc leaderboards for their local courses get that random out of towner no one knows of who plays every course in your area once over a few days and sets a course record on each and every one of them? I'm not gonna say that this looks fishy, but I know I would def...

White people problems.

Second Burchfield outside of Lansing recommendation. The Devil's Den course there is a great template for how a disc golf park should be maintained and built by a parks department.

Being a Michigandererererer, I find this true as well. DGCR is kind of the old folks home for much more in depth reviews and insight but the kids just don't use it anymore. UDisc is all about finding courses and keeping score. The reviews on Udisc are god awful, to say the least. A recent Udisc...

Acorn Hills, a private pay to play "dual" course is now open in Manistee! It's open on Sundays and Mondays and is $5 to play all day. I was extremely lucky to play the first ever round with the owner a few weeks back. It took him three years to create and he had never played a full round himself...

Call me old and dense, what'd I miss?

Had some great talks with Bill last year about the challenges of owning a private disc golf course during this booming growth phase of disc golf. As with everything, there is always a certain small percentage of people that ruin the good things for the rest of us and that's basically what...

Beauty is completely playable now. The wind shear storm from 2 years ago took out over 200+ mature trees and completely changed a few of the wooded holes. Loggers came in and took out the downed trees but left piles of tops throughout the wooded part of course for rabbit habitat. A few baskets...

Just a heads up. A new private pay-to-play course is coming to West Michigan this year...Manistee to be exact! This course was built by Tom Organ. If that name sounds familiar he was heavily involved with the course creations and upkeep of the Mason County(Ludington) courses in the past when the...

As an elder local who has watched the decline of our older local league I can confirm all the above is true. States is just "different" now, it has no soul and questionable financials. Yes, it's for the reasons mentioned above. BUT with every dark cloud there is always a silver lining... There...

"Now that's a name I haven't hear of in long time!" I remember Al being on a card of mine at a Flip City tourney many many moons ago and he threw a Stingray roller on hole 7 down a hill, in a valley, between two apple trees, and back up another hill to park the hole. We all stood there in...

One of those things that play out in so many leagues eh? I've been a part of a few leagues and it seems they all go through what I call the "illusion of hierarchy" which inevitably leads to the conflict of egos and internal power struggles, ultimately guiding everyone away from the initial joy...

Haha, I've seen this too! Oh the irony! I am also completely jealous of those numbers. It used to be that way here too, now it's like 2-8 people, total. Sigh.
