Fun 9 Holes At Dexter Lake Church! 2+ years

Played on:Aug 28, 2017

Pros:
Dexter Lake Church sits at the back of their large expanse of nicely mowed lawn. The course has a nice combination of wide open holes with little in your way and slightly tighter fairways with trees and brush to avoid. The course starts on the side of the church with the garage building and then plays around the grounds counter clockwise. Navigation is easy and mostly intuitive. There are no tee pads but it's usually obvious where players have been teeing from. The tee signs are well done, homemade ones. They give you the #, distance and an arrow pointing out the route. Some signs are missing or broken. Chainstars are the basket of choice here. I think each metal tee pole had a garbage can cleverly attached.
# 1 and 2 both have some accuracy challenges. On # 1, you have to throw an annie around the corner and down to the basket. It's not tight but the possibility of landing in the trees is there. # 2 tees off from a sandy little tee box straight down 222'. The fairway is semi-tight between a fence on the right and the parking lot on the left.
3 and 4 are both pretty much wide open. #4 is 447' with one tree out there you have to avoid.
# 5 is 278' and fairly wide with rough on your right. The # 6 basket is set in a lump of 12 trees giving you a different look.# 7 is 309' throwing to a basket in the woods. Then # 8 is 378' down a not wide open fairway. You finish with # 9 throwing 281' out to a basket in the lawn. One tree has to be avoided. From there you are about 700' over wide open lawn back to the starting point. What a perfect time to practice that roller you've been thinking about?

Cons:
No real tee pads but it really wasn't a factor.
# 8 sign broken off. I think # 6 sign was missing.
Some wide open holes.
Less than challenging, at times.

Other Thoughts:
This is mostly a typical little 9 hole church/city park course. But why then did I have a smile on my face afterward? That's because Dexter Lake has a certain enjoyment factor to it. I would think most players coming here would agree. It is a great big green area to experiment with that new disc or new throw you've been thinking about. It's a wonderful platform to throw rollers on.
There was this young lady on a trail bike who kept going round and round and round. The circular drives here made for a perfect Grand Prix course for her biking pleasurew. You might want to stay out of her way.

Pros:
Hole # 1 blind basket, had to go over a little knoll as the fairway went leftwards
hole # 2, trees in your face off the teeing area, with the parking lot the length of the fairway all on the left side of the hole. Your not going to throw a straight shot.
I also liked hole # 7 which the basket was in a grove of pine trees with a semi steep slope surrounding the back side of the green
and I liked # 8 which have the most defined fairway on the course IMO, but was also a hard hole for a LHBH player. As it was tight for the beginning of the fairway, then it opened up a bit with the basket so far left that there wasn't to many ways that one could throw their disc through the pine grove that surrounded basket # 7)
Good Flow.

Cons:
Dirt tees and broken tees signs and no facilities we're the only major flaws, I saw on this 9 hole course (But I doubt very seriously that the Church goers are the one's to blame for the broken tee signs).
No restrooms, (unless the church was open)

Other Thoughts:
I like courses on Church Properties, as I'm hoping that the youth ministries of these churches (that have courses) have some kind of youth DG days or leagues.
Within a mile of the Firekeepers Casino and close to the Interstate.
when one plays a 9 hole course, one expects a very recreational type of course. This course is for the rec to advanced player and has a couple of challenging holes.
Ample parking.
Veterans Memorial between # 2 basket and # 3 tee.
As mentioned before, within a mile of the Firekeppers Casino on the East side of Battle Creek.

Had a good time playing this short, wide open course. Easy to navigate holes, good use of land available. More of a practice course than a destination course. Good for beginners.
