+ Quiet and peaceful venue nestled within the heart of a sleepy camping grounds (at least in early April).
+ Tecumseh features a nice assortment of wooded, hybrid, and open holes.
+ Tee areas had clear and concise signs indicating where to throw, how far, and the par.
+ Some nice elevation challenges both gradual and abrupt. Otherwise, it's flat on average.
+ More than a few water hazards add excitement to several of the holes.
+ Thick woods make for a challenge of accuracy and control. Several tunnel shots and narrow fairways.
+ Generous wide-open fields allow for powerful unbridled releases. Several holes are longer than 350 feet.
+ The grounds appeared well-maintained. Even my careless throws were easy to find. I didn't not see garbage anywhere except in the numerous trash cans, and the fairways were easy to tell apart from the rough- especially on the open holes.

- The tee pads are hit or miss. Some are rubber. Some are solid concrete. One or two are missing altogether. It does not take away from the playability of the course, but it does seem a bit slipshod.
- Only one tee pad and pin per hole. Newer players may likely feel intimidated not having a short tee option.
- Some flight paths cross right over or veer very close to the campground's roads. I did not encounter any campers during my session, but I imagine that there will be plenty of them during the warmer months. Be careful and have a bit of patience.
- The first seven holes have a ton of rocks and exposed roots that may cause a stumble. Watch where you're stepping.

I'll admit to at first feeling bored with Tecumseh. Sure, the venue was serene and contemplative. I did appreciate the elevation obstacles presented to me with holes 4 - 6. However, the first seven holes took place within the same cluster of woods relatively close to one another with not much change in scenery between them. Worse, the rocks constantly underfoot began to irritate me. I began to get a horrible feeling that the whole course was going to continue like that.

Not so! Hole 8 was the first open hole of the course. The rocks vanished. It felt freeing to throw a disc and have it not hit a tree. From there, the course pretty much stayed open, and the landscape felt more varied. The elevation and accuracy challenges are more present in the wooded holes, whereas the distance and course navigation challenges are largely within the open holes.
Some hybrid holes come into the mix with 10 through 13 featuring a great many OB areas to watch out for.

To my mind, the star of the show was hole 11 because it has the player navigate a relatively open grove of trees, fly over an OB road, and fly up and around a bend to find the pin in a somewhat difficult spot near some barrier trees planted at the bottom of a cliff atop which is, I'm guessing, the campsite's dining hall. I imagined that whole room full of people pointing and laughing as my disc hit a power line and landed a few yards away from the pin.

Lastly, holes 14 through 18 are all opportunities to throw your hardest. As I've only been playing for about ten months at time of writing, my arm still isn't that well developed, but I can certainly understand the joy that someone would feel to have the chance to use all your strength in a wild fling far into the distance. Hole 18 is a monster.

In conclusion, Camp Tecumseh, is a fun well-rounded course not specializing in any one type of skill. I didn't like how repetitive the opening seven holes felt with nothing but the same set of trees in all directions, but once it opened up, the course really came alive. It is a calm and beautiful place with a lot of acreage at its disposal. Get ready for a healthy walk. I am envious of anybody who camps here. I may do so myself this summer.
If you like wooded holes both with and without elevation, you'll be happy here. If you like expansive meadows with and without elevation, you'll be happy here. If you like disc golf, you'll be happy here.
