anyone know how well the bertha brock course in Ionia is coming along?

 

[fishmich]

im pretty excited about the suttons bay course and the scottville course. two incredible disc golf areas getting even better. very cool name for the scottville course "Labyrinth." also very cool i read in an article about the suttons bay course that they received and anonymous donation of $10,000 for the course. suttons bay is such a beautiful area so im thinking this could be a great addition to the myles kimmerly, hickorys hills, carlys playgroud trio.

Added Labyrinth @ WSCC page, Grand Opening on Sept 25th 11am-2pm with free bbq lunch! There is a temp short course installed for the remainder of 2012 and the longs and a revised shorts will go in in Spring 2013. If yopu are looking to play it and need a guide let me know!

Played the rest of the Wickes Woods layout in Saginaw today. The back nine is much like other local courses weaving through some moderate to heavy vegetation. Tees are pretty good and signs are a close estimate to actual layout. Little details like rocks painted with directions between holes are greatly appreciated. A fair amount of trash on the course considering how new it is. I think that can be blamed on the cuhckers as there are plenty of trash cans on each hole.

Wickes is a gorgeous course and hasn't had any trash on it the last few weeks when I've played. I hope that wasn't much of a problem for you. The course is technically challenging and deserves positive recognition for sure.

No biggie really. My buddy and I cleaned up the last hole on our way out. Definitely some of the best golf around. Had to take some pride in it since I'm a Saginaw native.

Longs at the Labyrinth started getting cut in Monday. They are gonna be wicked. This course is gonna end up being pretty great.

Is anyone on DGCR in the Bay City area and knows what's going on? Some friends and I are willing to help out if there's anything going on.

 

[Thryn3]

Sunnybrook Golf Motel in Sterling Heights is putting in 18 holes on their ball golf course as we speak. It should be playable November 3rd for a doubles tournament. Yes, you will be able to use golf carts.

Bertha Brock is open now as well.

East China Twp Park has everything in and is playable. Just needs a few things cut and cleaned up for a green light by the parks dept.

Annual tournament that is full This shouldn't be listed as a new course or anything. It's actually stupid that this temporary course is listed on Disc Golf Scene (http://www.discgolfscene.com/courses/Sunnybrook_Golf_Bowl_Motel) and is filling the #7th course in Michigan. DGS could really do with some moderation imho.

Yea, I doubt there will be a course in Bay City anytime soon. I had a meeting with the Bay City parks director a while back and after him telling me how excited he was, he pretty much said it wasn't gonna happen. Originally we were gonna start something up on the middlegrounds, but it was deemed hazardous. (Even though they don't tell that to the people who play soccer, fish, walk their animals, and everything else people do on that land). The other possibility was the Golson nature area, but a freakin Eagle and its nest made that off limits.

Besides that, some people were trying to start it up at the state park. Last I heard is they didn't see eye to eye and bad tension eliminated that as well.

A few people have try'd hard to make a course in Bay City happen but I guess it's not meant to be yet.
