Not Bad
Solid course. Mostly wooded with some open holes. A serene course away from city bustle. Good course for windy days. Has some fun holes, including one that crosses a creek. Good growth potential.
Few amenities like benches and trash cans. Short course is really short, but the longs is a...

An iconic course, DeLaveaga lives up to the hype. This course has several, unique and unforgettable holes, and I'm not just talking about the 'top of the world' Hole 27. Hole 3 has a slightly downhill drive with with just enough room between tree obstacles; Holes 7, 8, 9 and 10 are all terrific...

Solid fun with terrific variety all of the way through. Three or four sets of tees or pins on each hole. If you are a golfer looking for a long and challenging round, the gold or blue tees should fit the bill. Even the red (shortest) layout is by no means a short course at nearly 5900 feet...

Exotic, unforgettable mountainside terrain presents unusual challenges. Accuracy is vital to negotiate narrow, often wooded paths along lowlands bordering a small creek. Other longer tunnel holes such as Holes 3 and 18 reward distance as well as accuracy. Some holes open up a little but still...

Has several moderately-wooded, moderate-length fairways (Holes 12-16). These are a little more open than the more heavily-wooded holes near the beginning of the course, with some smaller-scale Leviathan-like character (particularly the 483' Hole 15), including grassy areas, and tall...

Substantial work has gone into the forested area previously occupied by the first six holes of the old course, resulting in vast improvement in the first few holes leading up the hill. The holes in this area have been opened up and are significantly greener, with lots of slight uphill drives...
It appears there are no updates concerning the new courses at Hickory Hills in Traverse City. I wondered if both courses were playable. There have been no updates to this site since 2018. Thanks.

Course diversity, amenities and fun factor are all high points. Two-plank cement tee pads on all holes at the Black (long) and White (medium) tees, with well-marked shorter but earthen Red tees. The highly-visible orange baskets are nice, and necessary with some of the hidden and semi-hidden pin...

Makes a case for 'best course on Lake Michigan shoreline', and the all-around best of the three courses at this site.
Hole 1 is all-around world class. Has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan with an elevated tee over a grassy valley to an elevated basket, with heavy woods clearly delineated on...

Course consists of three separate nine hole loops which all end at the parking lot. The Front Nine consists of narrow fairways through a pine forest, the back nine has deciduous woods, and newer 'Deep Nine' which is longer and more difficult than the main 18. The 'Deep Nine' has longer holes and...

This course will test your mid-range and short game with tough, narrow throw routes through trees. Excellent cement tee pads, signs and new Dynamic Disc Veteran baskets with red rims that are visible in dense woods. Large, well-done red signs help navigation by pointing out short and long tees...
I've played 100 courses in eight states and one province, and I put Deer Lakes and Moraine at #1 and #2. Holes at Deer Lakes like #3 (perhaps the best I've seen in all of disc golf), Hole #7, #9, #12, #14 and #15 are simply out of reach from the competition.

A nice park with respectable levels of challenge. Holes 2 and 4 have tee pads located on cement walking paths that have fun downhill drives. Hole 1 traverses a long slope with tree obstacles, which can make a par difficult. There are some small hills here and there aside from the edge of the...

The city views here are simply fantastic, especially from the basket for Hole 2. Despite the preeminence of shorter holes, the narrow paths do provide some challenge. Hole 3 might be the best hole, with a steep drop from the top of the ridge down to a near a winding road. Holes 6 through 8 are...

Lots of variety here, with a minority of open holes, several wooded holes, and quite a few fun ace runs. Hole 12 somehow seems longer than its approximate 400' length, but it is one of the only tees one will use full power on if they choose to play the shorts. Some holes have a cheap vibe, but...

The sandy soil and coniferous trees gives this course some uniqueness and personality. Many holes (such as Hole 1, Hole 7 and Hole 11) and have tricky pin positions, which can add unanticipated strokes to your score. Hole 9 is a pleasant water hole that adds challenge, but the water is shallow...

Solid and Fun
Quite good overall, with some variety and a lot of fun holes. Some of the best holes have narrow, grassy, snake-like undulated fairways bordered by punishing, thick rough. A few, like holes 1 and 6, have tricky uphill blind shots. Some of these would be hazardous in high winds...

Calling Kensington Toboggan Course Fans
World-class, Idlewild-like challenge in a massive, moderately-wooded Western Michigan forest.
Several cunning, extremely long holes that will leave you worn out, in a good way (2, 4, 10, 12, 13, 14). Like another reviewer mentioned, the more courses you...

Solid city park course. Nice, large concrete tee pads and better than average newer signs. 'Next Tee' signs on rim of DISCatcher baskets are crucial in keeping navigation straight. Not much in terms of elevation changes, but there are some gentle slopes in play. Some tall white pines are present...
