This course has some of the best amenities for a nine hole course.(Practice basket, Directional signs, score cards, Lengthened tee pad, benches and trash cans at each tee pad.) This is a very well loved course. As for the golf, each hole is a challenge with variety of wooded along with a few openish shots. The Decent course design with nice hole lengths, unforturnately with it being in a flood plain it is fairly flat and has almost no elevation. When the course is taken care of it is a a really beautiful course. Also, camp ground is very close to the a few holes making it easy access for campers.

No elevations or water in play.
The course can be a hold a bit of water in the early spring.

This is a great nine hole course that is thoughtfully designed, it make for a great day of disc golf when you throw in Shu Pond(a Private course in Oconto). Come check it out and see for yourself.

This is a very fun, well designed course that plays its way through a wood sections near the Holtwood campground. It has Chainstars baskets that are all in great shape and catch great. The flow of the course is very easy to follow, if ya get lost there are directions arrows to direct you. The course is flat with multiple trees to contend with on every hole. The lines are fair on each hole though. There are nice tee signs at each hole. these have a basic hole layout, distance, hole number and par. Everything you need out of a tee sign. The tees are all concrete. These are all level and grip just right. There's a great mix of shot shaping required here for just a nine hole course. The distances are 368'- 252' which is a plus compared to most nine hole courses. The course is permanent and free to play. It is also set up in a disc golf exclusive area which is always a bonus. Wouldn't ever seem to be to busy either. The course was very clean and well taken care of. There's pencils and scorecards provided too which is nice.

This course can hold some water during the thaw months but its still playable. Also, sometimes the city neglects to mow the course for a month and the Rough can get out of control.

This is a really fun, excellently designed course in a nice town. When you couple this course with Shu Pond just 5 miles away, Oconto starts to become a pretty awesome place to disc. Plus, you can head north and play Badger park and Marinette, which would be a really great day of disc golf.

9 hole course set up in the middle of a campground/park, with many other activities within. A nice spot for a day with the family.

Concrete tee pads, all in great shape, and plenty long/wide. No issues whatsoever with these. One tee per hole.

Nice Chainstar baskets, that did all you'd expect them to. One pin position per hole.

Mostly, this park is just wonderfully carved out in the thicket of trees in the middle of the park. There is nary a throwaway hole on the course. Every hole offers some sort of fair line, with most having several, including some over the top shots, if that's your thing. The holes all had their own personality, and I never got a repetitive feeling here. Very well done.

The area it is in is exclusively for disc golf, so you shouldn't have to worry about other foot traffic. Nice tee signs help with navigation. No issues here.

Nice set of distances. While there's nothing too crazy long, there's also nothing too crazy short, either. Twos are possible on every hole, but you'll have to earn them.

A river runs behind hole 9 (although you'd have to seriously jam up to get near it), and a small drainage creek runs alongside a couple holes.

Cart friendly.

There's really not a lot of cons to this spot. It's somewhat low-lying, so it can hold water in spots.

Quite flat. It is what it is.

One or two holes run close to the road that crosses to the campground. If something really go away from you, you could conceivably end up over there.

All in all, this is just a fun spot to throw some frisbees. It's not crazy hard, but it's not crazy easy. Just a nice test of skills for the Int/Adv player, and probably a lot of fun for all others.

Worth a stop if you're in the area.

nice level concrete pads. Looks like they added a few feet to each one, making them longer.
Good markers showing location of next hole and layouts of holes
All of the baskets were I'm perfect shape
Some pretty technical shots through the woods.
Lots of other stuff to enjoy at the park
I saw port a Jons, but I'm betting there was an indoor bathroom around

Some or the holes needed I bit of tending (grass mowed some fallen trees and brush piles cleared). But none of these things were bad to the point that I effected play.
No elevation change.

Fun nine hole course, kind of out there for some, but if you are from the area it is definitely worth checking out

There are a few spots toward the beginning of the course that seem like they could get swampy in wetter months. The tees are a bit short, not a big deal for me but could be for some. The bugs can be bad but it's WI so yeah.

This is a really fun, excellently designed course in a nice town. It's not really worth a long drive out of the way to play, but if in the area it's definitely worth a round or three.

-Each hole is a challenge with variety of wooded and open shots
-Decent course design with nice hole lengths
-Well kept fairways
-Very difficult to lose a disc
-Camping and sports complex on site

-Tee boxes are too short
-Virtually no elevation changes throughout the entirety of the course
-Can get mucky after a good rain

Overall, I enjoyed the course. For a small 9 hole ride, I felt satisfied coming out of it. Most of the holes are at least 280 feet or longer, and the low ceilings and dog legs make for some tight skill shots. If you are around the area, I would recommend stopping by for a fling.

- Mikel Wittkopf loved disc golf. He often found himself at Shu Pond, a local private nine-hole course. So, when Mikel tragically passed away before his time, his parents approached Shu Pond's designer/owner and the local town's Parks Department to create a memorial course in his honor. Casey Shufelt provided the design, the Wittkopf's generously donated the funding, and the city provided the parkland. A large sign with a picture of Mikel graces the beginning of the course, and serves to remind loved ones of a friend and son lost way before his time.
- This course is tucked into a small flood plain. Tall grass comprises much of the rough, with a decent mix of large old-growth trees and younger or smaller varieties. A small campground sits to one side of the course. Ball fields and other park activities and roads sit to the other side. Although located in what looked to be a fairly used multi-purpose park, the course for the most part does a good job staying away from other activities. The course threads in and out of the semi-wooded terrain. Wittkopf is mostly flat, and though there are some small wrinkles of "up and down" to contend with, not enough elevation exists to really alter any shots.
- A decent variety in hole types and shots required prevent this course from feeling 100% park-styley. The trees do a good job in giving the course a sort of secluded feeling. Advanced players will see this as a slightly challenging deuce-or-die while newbies and lesser players will struggle to par or birdie several of the holes, especially the couple that play on the longer side. Recovery shots are usually to be had, but will cut in on your scoring.
- Short cement tees, signage, and decent baskets comprise the bulk of the amenities. Port-a-johns are located in a couple of spots. Mikel's mother was tending to flowers in a small garden underneath the memorial sign. She thanked us for playing the course. This course is a labor of love.

- It's obvious that a lack of routine maintenance by parks & rec is the main issue with this layout. The grass rough was tall, thick, and probably a huge pain in the arse in the summer. Luckily, the fairways had been cut recently, so the course was very playable.
- A lot of players will probably find the concrete pads too short. I really didn't have any problem with them, and thought they provided a better option than natural or gravel tees.
- #1 and #4 have changed pin positions since the signage went in. Both have two pin positions, although #1's is apparently lost under a pile of mulch and needs to be found again. #4's pin has been moved to the left; the sleeve for the location on the sign is readily visible.

- While certainly not a prime piece of land to work with, the course does its best to avoid cliche, boring golf. Casey's got a good eye for interesting lines and often gives players a couple of choices on how to approach a hole.
- Located near Shu Pond, this couples well with that course, providing a good warm-up for The Pond's tougher brand of discin'.
- Thanks to the Wittkopf family for their devotion to their son's passion and pastime, and for turning their personal loss into a positive gain for the community at large. It is because of their love for a lost family member that this course exists. Please treat the course with respect and care in order to honor their commitment to disc golf, and to honor the memory of Mikel Wittkopf.

I like the course sign and the Bulletin Board with league information and Lost Disc sign in sheet. Also, think that is really awesome that there are scorecards and pencils at hole 1! The course is constantly evolving bit by bit, from new pins placements a few holes to benches and trash cans and every other hole. All the amenities really make for a nice casual round. The course itself is pretty awesome, there is a lot of variety here, some flex shots, right doglegs and left doglegs, a few aces runs and a few holes to kinda left you rip it but nothing over four hundred. I also like how the course played through a moderately wooded area. There is camping available less than 100 yard from the course.

The course can be rather muddy during the really rainy month in spring and late fall but not unplayable. The rough isn't very punishing, most players should be able to save par with an errant drive. Bugs are bad in the wet months too!

Wittkopf is really a great place for beginners who are looking to be challanged while more seasoned played will still enjoy the shot shaping with all the amount of trees in play with that being said its gonna be more of a birdie fest!!

Mikel Wittkopf Memorial DGC has a really nice sign and memorial plaque at the start of the course and has scorecards available there also. There are concrete pads and nice tee signs that list distance and par. The chainstar baskets are in great condition. Navigation is easy with the tee signs on 4x4 posts and there are even next tee signs pointing the way.

The course is moderately to heavily wooded with lots of mature trees. There is a great shot variety here, especially considering it's only 9 holes. All but one hole is in the 250' to 325' range (one is longer at 370') so every hole is reachable, but all the trees force you to hit your lines if you want to have a chance at a birdie, especially on some of the tighter holes. Miss your line or hit an early tree and you'll still have a chance for par on some holes, but there are definitely enough trees on others to make you earn it.

The tees are a little on the short side.

I played here in the winter and didn't see any underbrush, but I see others have mentioned it so maybe it's still an issue in the warmer months.

Despite being fairly wooded, it's just short enough to be manageable to newer players. More advanced golfers will be challenged to hit their lines and will be rewarded with birdies when they do.

This well designed 9 hole course is one of the better 9 holers I've played. I suggest checking this course out if you're in the area.

1) Port-o-potty by Hole #8.
2) Nice signs with Hole #, Par, Distance, and sponsors of the hole. Map is also helpful.
3) Garbage cans on every other hole if I counted correctly. The course was pretty free of garbage.
4) Concrete tee-pads are always a positive in my eyes. Good consistent footing is always preferred when driving for me.
5) There were a few directionals that were helpful in finding the next tee. They were consistent and attractive so they were easy to spot.
6) Excellent mix of holes both in shot required as well as foliage density and challenge. Most of the course is in the woods but there were a couple that started or ended in the woods, and 2 that were completely outside of the woods with just a smattering of trees.
7) Plenty of mature trees to get in your way or force you to throw around them.
8) The area this course plays in has a pretty cool feel being completely covered by trees, but not quite throwing through dense woods the entire way.
9) Nice Chainstar baskets, my all time favorite baskets for disc golf.

1) The concrete tees were just a little short in my opinion and I am a short person with short legs so I would imagine a taller player might struggle to do a full run-up.
2) Campground is close to the course, which isn't necessarily a negative for the disc golfers, but I would imagine it might be a negative for the campers right along the wood-line. It felt like I was walking through their backyard as they were making the eggs and breakfast.
3) Fairways are mowed, but they could really use some grading to level them out and make them safer to walk. It wasn't terrible or un-walkable but I did pay close attention to where I was stepping so as to not twist an ankle.
4) A couple of the baskets are installed a little bit lower than I am used to.
5) #5 sign is really dangerously close to the end of the tee-pad and I could see someone slicing off their hand if they overthrow their arm too much.
6) Distance variation is a little lacking here with most holes in the 250-300' range and only a couple above 300'. No shorter 150-250' length holes.

This is a great property for disc golf because they have a nice patch of woods to use. I had fun playing this course. The unevenness of the fairways was a little frustrating because run-ups were difficult, and this was even after it had been freshly mowed. I pretty much threw all upshots from a standstill which I am pretty good at but also leads to slightly errant shots sometimes. I would have liked to see some grading done to make the rolling terrain in the woods more consistent. Maybe in time this will happen.

New Chainstar baskets. Concrete tee pads. Map box with maps in it.
Nice tee signs with good info. Well defined, well mowed fairways. Good solid design for interesting and challenging tee shots. Plays at an advanced level though pars are set at a red level.

No under 200' ace run. No over 500' par 4. Tee pads are minimum size at 4x8. Need "next tee" signs to holes #6 #9.
I played this course in late October when summer plants had died off and disc finding was easy. It is plain to see though that in mid summer, lots of waist high weed schule could make disc losing and finding a major part of a round.

Character: Very nice big park right in Oconto is on the river and has camping. Totally flat! The course utilizes mostly wooded areas a bit away from the water. This is a technical course that demands accurate and well crafted shots.

HOLE NOTES:
#1 RHBH "S". Tree gate halfway.
#2 RHBH Hyzer. Maybe a little long at 315 - plays about 2.8.
#3 RHBH sharp anhyzer to VERY tight putting zone. Lots of heavy schule (tall, thick, brush) trouble available.
#4 RHBH gentle anhyzer. Mowed around big trees to left and tree schule right.
#5 Open mowed w/ more trees right. Shot around left or straight through tree gate. Almost grey zone about 2.6. Need next tee sign to #6!
#6 Almost straight slightly left. Nice width mowed fairway with schule both sides. Solid 3.0 grey zone hole!
#7 Tough RHBH S with heavy schule on all sides. Probably not aceable.
#8 RHBH hyzer mostly open with schule sides and tough guarded goal. Need a "next tee" sign to go back to left on path.
#9 RHBH hyzer. A tight touch shot through heavy tall schule. Tough approach from outside putting zone. Doe following me last half of this hole.

My take: If I lived nearby this would be my favorite in the area for fall, winter and spring disc golf. Maybe not in mid-summer on account of heavy (off fairway) weeds. I wouldn't even stop in Peshtigo, and I prefer the more interesting technical holes in Oconto to the more variable length holes in Marinette. Maybe hole #5 could be lengthened to over 500' and #6 could become that ace run, and maybe this course would have about everything I could expect without hills or water.

Fantastic use of the real estate available. Most holes require a very good drive in order to birdie. Decent balance of left right shots, I found myself throwing uncommon shots like sidearm anhyzers to negotiate tricky fairways. Concrete tees are in, fairways are maintained appropriate for a woodland Disc Golf Course.

Holes 8-9 were nothing special. Tees could be longer, and I hate it when signs are in the front of the tee box (big steps and long arms). Seriously I saw a guy break his hand on a sign off to the front right of a tee...

Course rewards skill, not always strength. I recommend it to anybody coming through the area.

A nice wooded course with good solid design. Fairways were cleared nicely, leaving strategic trees and bushes in place to shape the 'airways' and require specific flights (mini S-shots for the most part) and also offer multiple routes to the pin.
The hole distances varied nicely from around 370' to 225' or so.
The greens are nicely designed, not just stupidly wide open, but near some trees and bushes to create some obstacles.
I enjoyed #1-3 a lot. #2 was my second favorite hole on the course. Had a nice gently twisting fairway with a huge tree splitting the routes, and ROUGH grasses and bushes off the fairway. Favored a gentle anny off the tee to clear the large tree and then a slight fade at the end to the pin. I drove 3 times here for the fun of watching the disc sail. Multiple routes are offered on holes 1 and 2 which is a MUST design element to make a course good. Hoel 6 is also like this where an awesome large tree with wide reaching branches frames out an excellent tee shot. The designer did a GREAT job using the elements here and not just plopping a pin and tee down around existing features. This course was designed and constructed, not just 'put in'!
Hole #7 I enjoyed a lot, but the tee box didn't lend to a very favorable route (or at least what I had in my bag). A large mass of tree with vines blocks most of the approach, but small trees litter the fairway to keep you from going too wide around it. Then the pin is protected by a couple shorter trees that are covered in vines - very neat pin protectors!
#8 is an EXCELLENT hole and could be better I think if the tee was a bit further back and to the right. It would allow hyzers more time to work. Right now you can just toss a hard hyzxer into the tree branches, get knocked down and be within putting range. Moving the tee could allow awesome ace runs through the great trees at 350'.
The rough is ROUGH, bad shots should be punished.
The navigation and signs are great. The course feels secluded and quiet in the middle of the fall day that I played. Although in the middle of camping season I'd imagine it is pretty loud and busy in the surrounding areas.

Only one set of tees and the tee boxes are dismal at best. They're old minigolf sections of raised wood and astroturf. They are only 2' wide, 4"+ raised, and often times far too short for even a 2-3 step approach. And you do need to drive on most of these holes. They were so bad that I threw from the side and I know this will create erosion problems in the future (sorry). Just lay some crusher dust down at a minimal cost and effort.
The tee signs offer no hole layout or depictive diagram, often requiring you to walk down the fairway and verify pin location.
Hole #4 is a throwaway, and on a 9 hole course, having a throwaway hurts. It is a 280' slight RHBH anny with a tree line on the right. Moving the tee back 100' into the brush and requiring much more of an anny would make it more interesting, although errant drives would end up in #5.
#5 is longer and offers you some chance to air it out, but why not make it really longer and add obtsacles? Put the pin 100' back and around the bush off the corner of the driveway area. Then you'd add a 400'+ shot to the mix, and still have obstacles, keeping it from being a boring wide open ripper.
The course is predominantly RHBH anny favored routes (slight anny off the tee to take the widest fairway route around trees). Until #8 and #9 balance it out with harder left turns.
The rough is ROUGH - you may lose discs. I was fortunate to be in the fairway or not too far off, but the rough could discourage many players.
Poison ivy can be seen sprouting all around, most notably on fairway 6 and 9, but also lots of places in the rough.
Unfortunately the lay of the land is essentialy flat. So no neat hills or ravines.
No water hazards, no defined OB.
Variety is lacking. This is mainly a flat wooded course. 2 holes are thrown in to the mix to add open park like shots, but they could both be better IMO.

I think with some simple changes, I'd really up the rating of this course...
Eliminate the minigolf tees!
Install two sets of tees, use crusher dust or just put concrete in. Make the short tees very easy for all the potential newbies you'll have being in the middle of the city. Move some of the long tees more strategically back, left, or right (especially #8).
Change the tee for #4 to eliminate it as a throwaway easy hole.
Make #5 longer, pin behind the bush.
Add tee signs with a diagram of the hole layout and flight path to eliminate walking so far up some fairways.

I really think that city courses need a long and short set of tees. Increased traffic helps keep your brush down (hopefully d-bags stay out though), and also increases publicity for you to expand and improve.
I actually liked this course very much. The fact that it was actually designed and created is evident. This is carved through a previously dense and unusable area. Great use of the space and actually a great design that I would only tweak a bit. I stopped here during my travels north, and was not disappointed at all. I enjoyed the course and could see this pushing to be a 3.5 rated niner with some improvements and maybe a few more very unique features put into play. That says a LOT, especially considering the list of courses it would be associated with that I have rated at 3.5 and 4 discs.

The course is yours! Very little traffic. A variety of holes-woods and open field. Close to park/town.

If you plan on going in the rough, you will want to be wearing pants-my legs got pretty scratched up. VERY thick brush. Lots of mosquitos as well.

I was ecstatic to find out Oconto added a DG course. It's not bad-some tough holes with narrow shots that require accuracy. Plan on digging a disc or two out of the undergrowth.

Nice baskets
Easy layout
Course is basically yours
Camping is right near the course

Tees are vary narrow, short and raised of the ground
NETTLE is HORRRIABLE.
Bring BUG SPRAY

This course needs the Rough cleaned up. The course is new, so it is understandable. The fairways aren't level so water can puddle up. I would not recomend this course for newer players.

Wittkopf plays in a moderately wooded flood plain near the Oconto River and the Holtwood Campground. The course boasts all the perks a disc golfer could ask for lengthened teepads, benches, informative tee signs, directional signs, practice basket, port-a-potties on-site and garbage can an nearly every hole. The disc golf is very well thought out, you start off playing in the woods for the first 3 holes and then plays out in a more open field by the camp ground and then back into the woods. All holes offer at least one main intended route while others have several. While the course is wooded an errant shot shouldn't be punished to much. With distances range from 368 ft to 255 ft all holes are reachable for your average player.

Being so close to the river there is a decent amount of bugs. There no sub 200 ace run. Some low spots can retain a good amount of water.

-R.I.P Mikel, you will be missed but the course will forever remind us of you....
-with concreate tees its got about everything you could want.(needs more elevation and water in play)
- brand new course will only get better with play
- (4/2013)the area just got a club started and have raised funds for a practice basket and 5 new pin positions for the course(Holes 1 and 9 will have longer positions, 4 will bring more trees into play on your drive and the other 2 we are gonna figure out as a club.)
