Pros:
After playing Vollrath Park , this was automatically going to be my next stop . I enjoy most of the older courses in an area , and this definitely qualified .This course is almost set up as 2 different courses , or parts of one . The first 5 holes and the last 2 are pretty open air holes , and the 13 in the middle play down into a tightly wooded plane . The course boasts mostly 2 sets of tees for it's 20 holes . A lot of love goes into the caring of this course . The baskets are in decent shape and there are concrete tee pads for the shorter holes and gravel tees for the more skilled and longer arms . I couldn't print a map for this , but the course flows pretty well , and I didn't have a problem navigating until close to the end . The lower 13 holes look like they can hold water after a rain , but the locals have put wood chips down in the ungrassy areas of the fairway to soak up excess water and help keep your shoes dry . This course looks like the next step of progression that you go to after you have mastered Vollrath . There is plenty of parking and the course itself is hard to miss as it sits on your left as you drive down 42 toward Sheboygan . Plenty of elevation here and good pin placement . You shouldn't lose your disc here . The steps here help out with the elevation I knew this course was a hit with the locals when I walked up to the first tee and was greeted by a guy sitting on a picnic table ( Hi Larry ? ) who was selling slightly used discs and talking it up with everyone that was coming to play . The first basket is a " good morning " 170 footer that has a tree on your right and overhanging branches that cause you to have to throw you tee shot low and to the right . The next 4 holes become progressively longer and more difficult , even though they are in the open . Now you are standing on a teepad that drops straight down into the flats .This section of the course kind of runs clockwise with hole ranging from pretty easy to " you better be accurate , or else " . The course design here was fun and at most times easy to follow until being confused at about #16 . I thought I saw the basket , but the pad didn't match . Anyway , the last couple of holes are open and #19 is a blind shot over a hill and straight . I met some guys that live fairly close and convene here almost every Sunday . The 3 plus Larry ( who told me that he has been playing since is was object golf only in the early 1970s ) , have been playing since at least the 1980s , have followed the World's when held in the midwest , and have played many courses both close and abroad . Thanks for talking to me and filling me in . Lots of good stories . Have fun playing this course and couple it with Vollrath , which is 10 minutes away .
Cons:
t Even though he course is set away far enough from nonplayers that you shouldn't have them run up on you while playing , playerwise , it can get crowded and it wouldn't be out of the question to clip one with a bad throw . The course looks like it will hold water on the lower level , even with the wood chips helping out . Hey Sheboygan . How about inserting a map on this site for the out of towners ? Bugs could ge bad as it gets humid sometimes , but it's that way at most courses . The course might be considered short for the bigger arms , but I consider this to be a more " enjoyment course " not a championship caliber one .
Other Thoughts:
A fun course that is well taken care of and respected by the community . Clean , obviously utilized by both the community of disc players , and the occasional out of towner . Play the course and enjoy the day . Say hi to the gentleman selling the discs , maybe even buy a putter or approach from him .
