Great park , but ,,,, WHAT THE !? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course that sits in a wide open medium sized park boasts brand new cement tee pads , Very good Mach 3 baskets , plenty of wide open space for 9 holes that the shortest hole is 310' , and is easy to navigate .Really nice signs . You might have your whole round to yourself , like I did on a mid Sunday afternoon . The park is well maintained , looks like it drains well , and you should be able to play these longer 9 holes is less than 40 minutes . Lots of parking space

Cons:

Okay . If I had the opportunity to meet the course designer , when our hands were about to meet , I might pull it away at the last minute . I think that a crude map was drawn , then the baskets or the tee pads were moved at the last minute . For instance , keeping in mind that this is a wide open windy park with very few trees and shrubbery coming into play , you first hole is a cranker up a hill right next to the driveway leading to the parking lot . A sure possibility of hitting an oncoming car . Get Ready To Rumble . Tee #2 is nestled between large bushes , of which there are only a few in the whole park . The way the pad was poured , righty or lefty forehand throwers will feel their hand disappear into the bush on the follow through of their drive ,a 320' downhill shot with some guarding with a bush and a tree ,,,,,,,Right Next To The Basketball Court . If the men are playing a game and your throw goes about 3 feet past the basket , Get Ready To Rumble ! Again !! The rest of the holes wrap around the park up and down and and counter clockwise . After the first 2 holes , then the course changes from dangerous to confusion . The other 7 tee pads point at an angle away from the basket , as though it was supposed to make another obstacle for your drive , and a tee pad on #4 , I think , which makes your RHFH follow through do the Carbonaro Effect and disappear into a bush sitting right up against you . The course has 1 tee pad & 1 basket per hole , so if the tee pads don't twist you into a pretzel , the bushes will eat your hand . Did I mention WINDY ?

Other Thoughts:

I don't want to make it like I am ripping hard on this course . It is a very clean and well kept park with roomy tee pads ,new baskets and very good signs . I just don't follow what the course designer or parks personnel were thinking . That being said , If the basketball courts aren't in use and no traffic is going into the park , this would be an okay place to introduce the locals to the game . Wide open , can't lose your disc , 9 holes in 40 minutes for 2 , plenty of length off the tee . No destination course but okay for the local occasionals or family picnics

Some distance, not much else 2+ years

Pros:

9 hole course winding around Firehouse Park, outside Sheboygan and Kohler, WI.

Concrete tee pad on every hole. Nicely done, plenty long, and brushed for grip. Well done, for the most part. More below on this. One tee per hole.

New Mach 3 baskets, mounted very well, and caught just like you'd expect. One pin position per hole.

Decent amount of distance for a small course. Nothing under 320', so you'll have to earn your 2's.

Tee signs were very nice...all the info you'd need, and then some. Navigation was also very intuitive, no issues there. Well laid out course.

Cons:

Outside of the first two holes, everything here is VERY flat, and almost all open (the first two holes are also pretty open). The wind is going to be your biggest adversary here.

A few of the tee pads face in wonky directions...not towards the pin. Hole 7 is especially odd. I'd assume they were poured this way to force certain shots, but I didn't feel like they worked. I understand the want to make certain shots happen on an open course...but this just feels forced. Mandos would have worked better, IMO.

As was said above, it's almost all wide open. There's a few trees here and there, but almost nothing that makes you shoot a certain line.

The first few holes play somewhat close to a basketball course and other park activities, and there's the possibility some holes may be unplayable if other things are going on in the park.

Other Thoughts:

As it stands today, this is basically a field work course, with baskets to throw at. There's definitely something to be said for that, but the replay value is limited. It's nice to have some longer holes in Sheboygan, though.

Apparently, there are long term plans to add tee pads and pin positions, but unless more obstacles are added, it will most likely be more of the same.

There are softball diamonds, a basketball court, and other family activities here, as well. There's worse ways to burn 45 minutes, but this is certainly not a place to go out of your way to play.
