Pros:
Let's first talk about the evolution of this course. Started out as an extremely dangerous 9 hole course thrown around other park activities mainly some picnic areas, band shell and a rather large playscape. After this monstrosity caused much issue with other park goers, this course was destined for the graveyard but, as luck would have it, a local and myself got taxed with making a more optimal minimalist to the maximus approach. Thus, a some what decent course was established with out approaching on the other park activities. Flash forward 10 year, course is doing well. Peshtigo park and Recreation are very pleased with the course and have decided to expand to 18.
The course at Badger park has almost two different feels to it, the 7 open parks style holes that have a few massive pines to navigate and the 11 wooded and technical holes. For the most part you got every type of shot here, straight shots, doglegs left and right of varying degrees.One hole is 300 and the majority be 230 and under. The course even offers a bit of water, as you shoot over a 10' wide creek/drainage ditch. Badger park doesn't really offer any elevation, the course plays mainly flat with one little wrinkle as you play in and out of the heavily wooded area. Course boast a decent amount of amenities, seasonal bathrooms w/ water fountain, crushed gravel tee pads, decent tee signs, benches tossed in here and there, and a few directional signs to help you when navigation gets tricky. Tee signs where decent gave you hole number, distance and general flight path. Some holes have extra tees that add more length to them(3,4,5 and 13). Local club is slowly working on improving this course, several other holes will be adding longer pads and/or additional pin placements.
Cons:
Tee pads are crushed gravel not the most level, short holes make up for not really needing a run up. Also, a few pads are angled wonky and not quite facing the basket. On busy holidays holes 2 and 18 maybe tough to play, campers on 2 and kids plating on 18.
Other Thoughts:
The Peshtigo river is right across the street so the swim area is close. Makes for great place to toss a quick nine, grill out, cool off in the river and then head to Marinette during the hot summer months. Also, camping is available right by the course.
