Short Rugged Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 22, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

I would say it required some skill to get to the "green" on the first 8 holes but the other part was managing to get to the hole without hitting a single tree.

Most of the wholes were around only 150-250ft which is pretty short and hole 9 was an open field bomb that was 450ft but there were only 9 holes.

I played it and finished in 30-40 minutes but it was pretty fun.

Cons:

The course was very wet and swampy and the tee pads which were gravel with a wood outside needed some TLC.

Other Thoughts:

Fun little course for beginners and for people looking to kill some time and have fun.

It's a course... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 hole course settled back in the woods of Wiese Park, on a dead end street in Allouez.

Tees were boxed in crushed gravel. For a short course, these were fine. I played immediately after some rain, and there were no issues. Plenty long. One position per hole.

DGA baskets, all of which were in great repair, and looked almost brand new. Caught well, and easy to see. No issues here. One pin position per hole.

The tee signs were fine. They gave distance and hole number, and you could see every basket from the tee.

There were some fun lines here, even if they were short. The fairways were well mowed and easily discernible. For a pretty short course, I had fun throwing here. It was mostly wooded and technical, but not too tough.

Cons:

As said above, this is a pretty short course. You could easily play it with mids and putters. It is a good spot to throw fun lines with those mids and putters, though.

The rough here is thick. No two ways about it. I'd imagine there's a LOT of discs lost in the rough here. Keep your eyes on your discs, and more importantly, keep your discs on the short stuff.

The bugs here are pretty thick. Make sure to musk up before your round.

Navigation is a little wonky in spots. The transfer from 3 to 4 isn't immediately apparent (it's off to the left, up the trail). The biggest issue, though, is that if you didn't know it's there, you'd never find this course unless you were wandering the park. If you're in the parking lot, and looking at the soccer fields (away from the road), the course is up the trail on the left side of the parking lot. I didn't see a single sign pointing it out, which was odd.

Other Thoughts:

This isn't a great course, but it isn't a bad course, either, especially if you enjoy putter/mid rounds. Tight-ish ace runs are always fun, IMO.

I could definitely imagine this being a reasonably fun winter course. While it's probably not something to go out of your way to play, there's some fun factor here, for sure. Check it out if you're in the area.

New course short course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It challenges me to work on my short game and disc control.

Cons:

Trees and narrow fairways make it unfriendly. Bugs weren't bad, but it's been dry.

Other Thoughts:

I'm just grateful to finally have a course within blocks from my house. If you bring a friend be sure them spot your throw so you can find a lost disc faster.

2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 2, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is set up along the west side of Wiese family park in the wooded area along the trail. The tee boxes are decent sized wood framed, crushed gravel filled boxes. These are decent and probably better than just dirt or grass. There are basic tee signs at each hole that serve their purpose for a short nine like this. The baskets are Mach 2's that are in good shape and catch fine. They have a decent variety of shots here as far as left and right. The course is free, permanent and has a port o potty by the parking lot.

Cons:

First off it's hard to find the first hole since there's no signs even indicating that there's a course here. It's located up the trail by the west side of the parking lot. It's confusing as to where the next hole is in a few spots. Like from 3 to 4 and 8 to 9. The trail the course plays around had dump trucks barreling down it which wasn't they safest thing I've seen. This is a pretty narrow trail too. The course can get soggy in spots and the bugs were awful, but there's nothing the designers can do about this either.

Other Thoughts:

This isn't worth going out of your way to play at all. It kind of seems like they just stuck 9 baskets out here. It's decent for what it is, but nothing to bring you back again.

Needs Refinement 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 13, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Quiet and calm setting in the wilderness of Allouez.

Nicely constructed gravel tee boxes, though some leveling of the gravel would be nice for some of the tees.

A quick play through with only one hole longer than 400 feet.

High-quality targets.

Cons:

8 of the 9 holes are through thick trees and brush. It looks as if there was an attempt to shape some alleys and fairways by cutting down trees, but they just didn't go far enough. Even for skilled players, you will end up playing plinko with a lot of drives and probably spend some time looking for discs.

Signage is pretty bad. There was no where in the park that directed you to the start of the course. There was also no guidance from one hole to the next. Some holes were easy to find, but some were not. The maps for the holes were decent enough, but direction to the next hole was terrible. A little bit of signage goes a long way.

Other Thoughts:

Decent enough if you are in the area and want to kill a half hour. Nothing to write home about and would probably not go back.
