(1.328 Rating) A basic bland parkstyle course.
- COUNTS AS A COURSE - On the drive here at 5 AM in the morning, I kept saying to myself, "why am I doing this?!?". I knew it wasn't going to be good from reading the past reviews. But, I wanted to bag it anyways. Baggers are gonna bag I guess. Anyways, it felt like a passable course. Chalk up another tally mark. 8 baskets, 9 tees? some tee signs, some missing tee signs. The gameplay is ok, sort-of, maybe not so much, but it felt golfy. Count it. Moving on.
- QUICK PLAY - I logged an 18 minute round. Of which, 2 were looking for a basket I knew wasn't there. Anyways, it goes quick… like one's confidence after missing a 10-foot putt.
- MAINTENANCE - Mowed in the middle of summer. I only list this as a pro because that's an iffy proposition in some regions I've been to when I'm out in the sticks.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Mostly so.

Knowing it's not worth driving more than 10 minutes to play, but doing it anyways from 4 times that distance.
- TEES - The tees are among the worst I've ever seen. Typically it's a small pad of rubber haphazardly thrown on the ground. I got a chuckle on (8) with the tee sign adjacent the basketball hoop pole and no markings on court. Guess one should just wrap their arm around the pole then.
- FINISH - Hole (9) is a terrible way to finish. Without question the lamest hole on the course. I could throw hole (9) one-thousand times and it would hit either metal or grass all one-thousand times. It's completely open and 160 feet long. Also, (8) and (1) is a design flaw using a crossing fairway.
- BLANDISH - The ideal audience imo is MA3s and MA4s. Holes range from 160 feet long to 350 feet long. Holes are either open or lightly wooded. Perhaps one of them I'd label as moderately wooded. Terrain is generally flat with subtle 10 foot slides on a few holes. The gameplay isn't going to wow any higher skilled players.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - Players will probably need a nav app to seamlessly get around. I looked at mine 3 or 4 times. Not all the signs are present. Sign (1) is faded beyond usefulness. It needs an update.
- AMENITIES - So it's been at least 4 years now that basket (5) has been missing. The fact that its still gone is very telling. No extras like benches or alt placements or a practice basket. No restrooms or shelter either.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - I went with 25 percentile.

Markesan DGC needs some investment, but unfortunately, I doubt anyone cares about it. It's just Meh gameplay with not even all the basic amenity requirements. As is, to me it's a weak 1.5 with danger of dropping lower if it doesn't get the attention it deserves. No need for anyone other than baggers and town residents to come here. Reminds me of courses like the Woodlawn Union north of Milwaukee, Veterans Memorial in Central Illinois, Lifepoint in North Alabama, Extension Park near Pensacola and Confluence in Oregon.

This is now an 8 hole course on a high school campus. Hole 5 was nowhere to be found. The baskets are Mach III's that are all in solid shape and catch well. Except hole 8's. It looks like a tree fell on it at some point. Still caught pretty good though. These also have number plates on top that all face the tee.The tee signs here are pretty solid. They have the basic info on them. Hole #, distance and an arrow indicating the intended basket to throw to. Plenty solid for a course like this. Better than most schools actually. A slight bit of elevation on a couple holes. There's large mature trees in play on all the holes too except hole which is just wide open.

The missing hole 5 is the first to come to mind. There's a newer looking garage in an area that would make sense for hole 5 to be so I'm guessing it was taken out when they put that in. Also the tee signs are starting to show their age. They're getting pretty faded on a few. It seems like they just ran out of room for hole 9. Seems like kind of just a filler hole. And it actually takes you away from the parking lot. Though to be fair it was designed for high school students and hole 9 does head back towards the school so I do understand that. Just kind of a lame finishing hole. Hole 1's tee sign is missing as well so we just had to pick a spot and start.

This is your typical school course. There's no reason to go out of your way to play it but it's a pretty quick round if you happen to be nearby with a half hour or so to kill. I played this and the nearby Green Lake Conference Center course mostly because I'm tired of seeing them for years and having not played them. I won't be back here, Same old same old as far as school courses go.

This is a small 9 hole high school course with a ball golf practice area mixed in. The grounds are decent, and the 9 holes are about as well placed as can be expected here. There were a couple decent holes, with trees as obstacles. It would have been nice to see the hill used. I did like the use of the treeline on hole 5.

Navigation on this course is pretty simple, no matter what hole you start from. There are two holes that share the same sign, just on opposite sides.

Basic, but serviceable signage. Distance, line, hole number...the basics.

Two of the 9 baskets were bent half to hell (cages bent down like somebody was jumping on it). Fortunately, they still caught reasonably well, so this wasn't a major ding.

Placing a 2' square of rubber as a teepad is just silly. Save the material and just leave them as natural. The one time I did try to run up on the rubber, it sunk down and messed up the release.

This course is obviously not here for mass public consumption, and therefore it's hard to expect more than is given. It's a serviceable high school course that should work as a good introduction to the game for younger kids.

1) Nice tee signs showing hole #, distance, and a simple map of the hole.

2) Nice baskets and there is some type of tee material on 8 holes. You can use pavement 3 times instead of being on the grass. 4 other holes have rubber mats, and 2 holes just have grass to tee off from.

1) Short course (typical for a high school course. It is positive that they have a disc golf course at the school, but it does overlap with the practice golf course too so it probably only gets used for phys. ed. classes.

3) Layout of this course causes a few criss cross ocurrances on the course. #5 and #7 tee share the same rubber pad. #8 and #1 cross fairways slightly so an errant shot could be dangerous. #1 tee also shoots over the road entrance to the high school athletic fields area. #3 basket is located cangerously close to the #4 tee.

4) I would like to see that the tee areas were consistant. Either install all rubber mats, or put little paved areas on the holes where the pavement is not currently used. The rubber mat areas are also very small making a runup difficult with the uneven footing in the grass.

This is a beloiw average course with minimal challenge and not very scenic either. It is your basic school course. It does have more obstacles than most school courses that are set out in the wide open fields near the school. This course has a lot of mature trees, a building, and a small creek as obstacles. This is nice that it creates some challenge for new players. It is better to have a course like this at a school than a wide open field. The students will learn quicker with obstacles.

Signs on each hole with good yardage. Little rubber mats for tees. Inexpensive I assume, and they give you enough footing to be better than natural tees. Shots seem to be "in between clubs (discs)." Pat is a good designer and I think this is intentional. With what he had to work with; I think he gave the best possible result. One nice water hole. Creek with tall woods section behind. Bucket 40 feet behind woods. Road to left. Tough to get close to bucket going over woods. If you are short, as I was, the woods may knock you into creek. If you use righty bail out zone, you are likely to land o.b. in road. Pretty little course. Nice as it can be considering it's a school course.

As always, school courses limit time of day for possible play.
