So, we essentially decided to play this course by virtue of being in the McDonald's parking lot and being vaguely familiar with the area. It was more or less across the street.and we had the time, so why not?

The SAU course plays through the main campus of the university. It's more or less a pitch and putt - a mid and/or a putter will do you fine for the entire course. Don't worry about lugging a bag.

Holes are scattered around what I would consider the campus square. It's highly visible and serves as an ambassador to the sport. We actually ended up giving a number of spare discs to a group of students who saw us bumbling through the course. They were playing with a set of "beach frisbee" style discs after we had blundered through. Felt pretty good to be "ambassadors to the sport".

Ooof. I hate to say there shouldn't be a course where there's a course....but there shouldn't be a course here. Spring Arbor's campus simply doesn't have the real estate necessary for a disc golf course.

Navigating around the course is an absolute SOB. We used U-Disc to kind of sort of find our way around, but there are NO markers to indicate where the next tees are. Considering the holes dip and weave over streets and through...unconventional terrain, it's a damn game of Where's Waldo trying to figure out where to throw from. It's *almost* basket to basket, but some of the holes require you to trek across some unintuitive terrain so you'll be hopelessly lost trying to find the next hole.

Most of the holes are what I would consider "unsafe". They throw across multi-purpose areas that cross walking paths, gathering areas, and come uncomfortably close to roads. One hole in particular is what I call "The Gallery of Glass", as you need to thread your shot between two buildings full of windows in order to hit a basket placed near a set of dumpsters. The chance of an errant shot hitting a building, car, or student is waaaay to high.

I hate to say it, but there just shouldn't be a course here. It's not a sufficient space and fails the sniff-test regarding safety.

I understand that there is a mentality that more courses = good. This is not an example of a good course. While the designers tried to implement a "real" disc golf course in a limited space, they were simply fighting against the inexorable tide by trying to cram a course where it was inappropriate. I never felt safe throwing a disc here - from the students on campus to the windows of the buildings lining the fairways to the cars parked in the street, the course was an exercise in anxiety.

The course is a pitch and putt. Sufficient for learning the game, nothing exciting for experienced players.

Unless you are "bagging" courses, there is utterly no reason to play here. It is dangerous, short, and crammed into a space inappropriate for disc golf.

• This course plays through common areas of a school campus, both through yards and across roads. Not a big issue except during peak hours of traffic from students.

• The baskets are DGA and in decent order, which I feel is a huge plus.

• The campus itself is very nice,which adds to the scenery.

• The layout is a bit wonky as it seems to go back and forth, and plays through busier areas at times. You end up throwing over roads and around a few houses.

• During peak hours of people traffic, you may need to show extra caution as not to injure anyone.

• Routing and signage are missing completely. It's almost an adventure trying to find the next "pad" (which there aren't any)

• Every hole feels similar to the last, no variety really of any kind.

- No sense of elevation change, all very flat and "bleaugh"

With as much space as they have here, they could have done better to lay this course out. At the very least please get some signage and routing up to spec, as it's a challenge to make it from basket to "tee".

• Also, figure out how to make this course safer (as stated, maybe move the layout)

• It IS nice however to see another school put up a course.

Aesthetic-- plays through campus common areas and across roads. dangerous course if there are a lot of people around.

Baskets--DGA's in nice repair

on a positive note this is a beautiful little campus.

Layout-- this course plays through some VERY busy areas of the campus, across roads and around houses. I'm not 100% the designers on this one but the layout is super weird.

teepads/signs/routing/nav--nothing. you play from basket to basket. finding hole 1 is difficult at best.

challenge/variety/risk v reward--none to speak of on any of these fronts.

this campus is large, it seems there would be a better place to put this course. I don't see a really feasible way to play this course safely.

Right on campus, official chain baskets, short holes with few obstacles. Well manicured campus lawns, no rough.

Only 9 holes, no tee-pads or markers, some tees really close to buildings and student traffic.

Not sure I would call this a true DG course, more like a fun, little practice run. Just 9 holes, have to play from basket to basket as no tee pads or signs exist. Fairly short course, all par 3 holes. Great for practicing midrange and putting, dont even bring your drivers. Carried my Midrange and Putter, all I needed.
