West Brook Park DGC is a nicely wooded 18 hole course that plays in a mostly disc golf exclusive area of the park. The only other park users you might encounter are walkers on the path that winds around the park. This doesn't really come into play though.

The baskets are Innova Discatchers that are all in decent shape and catch fine. No issues with these. One basket and pin placement per hole.

The course is mostly flat but there are a couple holes with a little bit of elevation involved which adds to the fun factor a bit. The creek comes into play on holes 5, 6 and 7. Most notably 5 and 7 which each require you to throw over the water. Hole 5 is a full on water carry whereas hole 7 does offer a dead straight shot that avoids the water which is pretty tight. The cleanest option is the RHBH hyzer over the creek on the right. The water was low and clear when I played it but that's certainly not always the case.

There's two different sizes of tees here. The longer holes all have nice long pads that're probably 4' wide and 10' long. A few of the shorter holes have shortened versions of these. All are perfectly suited to the holes they're for. They're all mostly level and very grippy. No complaints with these.

There's tee signs at each hole that have a basic map, hole#, par, distance and a next tee arrow. Very basic but these contain all the info you need.

The course starts and ends right by the parking area, is in year round and is free to play. Very clean and well maintained course. There's numerous benches scattered throughout the course too, which was appreciated on the almost 90 degree day that we played it.

The tee sign distances didn't match what the actual distances were a number of times. The distances on the DGCR app seemed to match up correctly though, so I'm not sure what happened there. Not a huge deal, but worth noting.

Holes 11 through 16 start to feel pretty similar. They besically just play back and forth throwing down a woodlined hallway about 25' wide. Six times in a row just in different directions.

There's a couple annoying walks between holes out here, mostly early. These are between holes 4 and 5, 5 and 6, 8 and 9, 10 and 11 and 16 and 17. That's a lot of extra walking for one course. A few of the walks could've been better marked as well, most notably 16 to 17.

The walking trail doesn't come into play for the most part, but it could in a few spots with a bad drive or kick. Be aware of your surroundings and it should be fine.

This was a really solid course. I enjoyed my round out here and would gladly play this one again. It's not a must play or anything but is worth a visit if you find yourself out this way. Very glad we made the stop out here today. Very course course.

Well maintained. Layout is well organized. Not too many "blind holes" where you don't know where you're throwing. After the front 9, the "snakey" fairways balance out the flat course making it challenging, but fair. Almost every fairway has some trees you'll have to avoid, adding to my previous point. The "woody" portions of the course doesn't have much underbrush, so if you shank a disc off the fairway, it's usually pretty easy to find. Course markers at the tees are present and accurate.

A few tee pads were hard to find (#6, #9, and #17 come to mind), but I should be able to find them next time I throw here.

This course is beautiful. Well kept, difficult, and unique. Each hole has a little something different to offer. The first hole is a very wooded straight shot, the second is just as treeful but requires you to get some crazy hyzer (RHBH) to get anywhere near the basket, and that's just the beginning! There are three holes that are less than 200', but require throwing across a river or pond and under trees. There are several 400' plus holes, a lot of woodland to walk through, good use of elevation in several areas... There's just a lot going on! I disagree with another review describing holes 10-16. This was my favorite part of the course. Each hole is 350-450', more or less a tunnel shot, but each with their own unique variations. One hole requires more of a straight hole, the next more hyzer, one may have a few tree paths you can choose from. It was tons of fun, and on top of that, it looks beautiful. Each tree line has secret paths that lead across to the next hole, which made it feel like "the Secret Garden" or something like that while I was playing.

Some baskets were hard to locate at first. The signage could use a little bit of work. Other than that, there's little to dislike. I played a few other higher rated courses in the area (i.e. Middle Park) and I actually liked this course more.

There are a couple of holes that don't have concrete teepads yet, but I wouldn't worry about that. I know a few locals, and there are definitely plans to put them in, it just hasn't happened yet.

Great course, great fun, don't lose a disc in the creek!

1) Scenic park. Half the course winds along a creek, and the other half travels through what feels like an orchard. it would be a great place to walk even if the disc golf course wasn't there. Big plus in my book.
2) The course is in solid condition. baskets, teepads, mowing...all are fine.
3) Wide, "fair" fairways with clearly defined edges. Do NOT miss..
4) The "orchard" part of the course has matured tremendously in the last few years and has evolved into the course's best feature. Everything looks--what's the right word--cleaner?--than it used to look. (Hopefully DGCR will let us keep both the photos from 2008 and 2018 as it really shows how the course has evolved)
5) Beginner friendly for the most part. When I've taken newer player here, they have always liked it, which is not true of some of the other courses in the area.

-A few holes are awkward
-navigation can be a little tricky (finding holes 6, 9, and 17 in particular, though there is a map by the parking lot)
-not much in the way of elevation
-The rough on holes 11 and 16 is especially unpleasant (thick, sharp and itchy)

De Witt has a unique blend of easy and challenging holes.

1) Kiosk at the entrance to the course. Nice to see something so nicely built as a billboard for the course and the sport.

2) Good signs with distance layout and par listed.

3) Discatchers in good condition.

4) Nice concrete tees are always a welcome sight. They are large and have good traction.

5) This course has an awesome variety. There are some holes with water, some with dense woods, some more open prairie holes with punishing roughs along the fairways.

6) Some directional signs are used to help you navigate and they are a welcome sight because there are a lot of little paths mowed into the turf as well as the walking path which is arbitrarily your route to a few of the holes.

7) Pond on 17 is really kindof cool because the basket is tucked about 15' over the edge of the pond. Granted it is a pretty short hole, it still makes for an interesting shot.

8) River comes into play on 5, 7, and 18. The forced carry isn't too long for a beginner, but if you clip a tree branch you might end up int he water. I love traversing rivers and ponds with my throws.

9)The woods are tight in spots but are not so punishing that it brings too much luck into play.

10) The required shot shaping is adequate because you are forced to throw some hyzers and some annys or flicks. There are trees to navigate but you can also select the shot you want to throw based upon the arsenal you bring to the table.

11) Fairly beginner friendly. Challenging but also forgiving in many areas for the beginner to learn the course.

1) While I appreciate the directional signs, there are 3 or 4 places I would have put more signage. I did get turned around a couple time when they sent me down the walkpath.

2) Maintenance on this course seems to be adequate, but there are a few trouble areas ont he course that could use more attention from time to time. There are some erosion issues on a few of the wooded holes.

3) The only thing this course really lacks is elevation change. There is very little change in elevation throughout the entire course, but the first few are set in a low grassy area. Then a few in some low woodlands, then up to the prairie areas for the remainder. I can't fault the course for not having elevation it is simply what the property has, but I like to see some of everything in a top rated course.

3) Holes #10-16 are really boring and repetetive. You just go back and forth up and down the mild hill. While it is a positive in the overall variety, it is a negative that 7 holes in a row are virtually the same.

4) There are a few areas where there are significant walks. I got lost on a couple of these but if you pay attention you might be able to figure out where you are. You switch directions a lot however, so it can be confusing. The long walks made me second guess my direction a couple times.

This is a really well designed course. It has almost everything I like ina course except the elevation changes. Sure there are moderate changes in elevation but I really like a throw or two off a big hill. I especially like throwing those shots int he woods. Other than that, this course had just about everything. I was surprised to see such a well done course in this area and was pleasantly surprised. I had a lot of fun on this course which ended up being my 5th course of a 20 course road trip weekend. All in all solid course missing only some elevation and maybe a little bit of signage and some maintenance in a few areas. They used the property very well as I stated but the back 9 got a little boring and repetetive. I really enjoyed myself despite these flaws and for that reason I am going to give this a solid 3.5 rating. It doesn't quite live up to a 4 rating in my opinion, but if the signage was added and some of the trouble maintenance areas had been improved it would be really close. I know they are limited in my opinion based on the property so it couldn't get any better than a 4.

-A variety of course "sections" here, there is a meadow/city park section, a wooded section, and a 'fairways cut out of rough' or 'monster' section a la tallpaul.
-Also a lot of shot variety. Straight shots, rhbh hyzers, both tight and natural, anhyzers and flicks.
-Nice, huge concrete pads here. 5x12?nice rough surface for traction.
-Two water holes and two elevation holes which added to the variety here.
-good mix of distances, some shorty must birdies (about 6 or so) along with some beastly long, punishing holes (about 6) were you are just looking for a three and hoping they end soon. And the rest are normal. Overall range from 170 to 500+.
-Navigation could have been hairy , but it wasn't due to nice directional signs after holes.

-2 holes had no concrete, 6 and 8 and it seems unlikely that concrete will be installed b/c of access limitations. Hole 8's tee area seemed to be getting washed out a bit from the creek.
-A couple of multiuse tee pads on the walking trail, 5 and 17. Just be courteous and let walkers by.
-Although the variety is great, the 6 monster type holes in a row got a bit overwhelming by the end of 16.

Overall, one of the better courses in the area, combine this with Clinton's Eagle Point (about 25 min from here), and skip the other area courses for a great time.

12 foot long concrete tees; rather rare for this area to have concrete tees at all; much less 12 foot long
Lots of good holes; most with challenging distance; and requiring all shots
#5 a short one; but interesting; elevated tee across creek #3 also good shot across same creek
#6 blind downhill heiser (rhbh). Only 193; but blind shot and woods makes for a good shot.
#7 creek again in play; must go over halfway down fairway
#8 short, but EXTREME heiser (rhbh)
#9, tight fairway first half, to an uphill, left finish
#s 11-16 all have brutally narrow fairways with heavy schule to the sides. I took a lot of strokes through this section and was simply trying to stay upbeat.
This section reminded me greatly of many hole on the monster course at kennsigton metro park, ann arbor michigan; which is extremely highly regarded. (Kicks your butt much the same as here)
#s 17 and 18 are birdie holes for a little relief. 17 across Frog Pond; which was only a little standing water when we were there. 18 another shot across creek. Only 210 ft., but plays longer cause it's anny (rhbh).

Not really a con; but a tough section is TOUGH. Beat me up and forced me to keep my cool. Many players should choose a mid range and just try to stay on fairway. Schule is thick; be prepared to do some searching.
There are few dirt tees still on this course. The elevated tee on #5 is kind of dangerous.

I would say this course does a very good job of testing you with both yardage and accuracy on most holes; while also granting 7 holes, not much over 200 feet, to allow for moving in a scoring direction you would like.
Some good water holes here, greatly add to charm.

Very fun course. I went in March 07, and from what I can remember, the back 9 consists of VERY long holes in open field-type areas. The front 9 is mostly wooded areas.

It was difficult at first to tell where holes were (in order) and basically understand the whole "map" of the park.

There's a hole where you throw downhill across the creek. I thought it was pretty interesting
