Pros:
Finally there is an 18 hole course in Wausau. The course starts on the north end of the campus and winds around the open lawn areas and along a creek early and late in the round. There is a mix of nice new concrete tees and natural. There are tee signs by every hole. These aren't very informative with just the hole number, par and distance. No hole diagram but it's not really an issue as you can see every basket from the tee anyway. There are a couple next tee signs for a couple longer walks which is very helpful for first time players but pretty easy to find out where to go anyway. I believe these signs are after 4 and 17. The course is mostly flat but there are a few undulations in the terrain in a couple spots. Nothing major though. The baskets are MVP black holes that are all brand new and catch great. Blue bands around the top make them stick out nicely as well. The course is on the shorter side with hole 10 being the longest at a bit over 300 feet. The grounds were well mowed and in great shape. The course is free to play and in year round. Water in the form of a creek can come into play on holes 2,3,4, 5, and 18.
Cons:
The course is on the short side so if long bomber holes are your thing you'll want to look elsewhere. No benches, trash cans or restrooms on site. But it's a pretty quick play so not too big of a deal. Just worth mentioning. Other than that there's not much to nitpick here. It won't blow you away but it shouldn't disappoint either.
Other Thoughts:
This is a great addition to the Wausau area. Is it a destination course? No not at all but it's the first 18 hole course in Wausau. Yellowbanks is still the most challenging in the Wausau area and Big Eau Pleine is a must play for sure and one of my personal favorites but it's not actually in Wausau but close. This is going to get me personally to Wausau more often. This is a great place for newer or less skilled players getting into the game and a fun place for a casual round for more advanced players. It's also just minutes off of 39/51 if you're just passing through and got about an hour to kill. Great addition to the area for sure.
