UW Platteville has been on my radar for years now. I just haven't madi it out this way yet. It was worth the wait. Fun college campus course, one of the better ones I've played in WI for sure.

There's concrete tee pads on every hole. These are still in solid shape for the most part. The tees are nicely sized and are for sure better than natural tees on a hilly course like this.

The baskets are DGA Mach X's. These are nice baskets. Not my favorite but better than a lot of others out there. These all have a metal number plate attached to the top which is very helpful in quite a few spots where more than one basket is visible off the tee. One pin position per hole from what I could tell. No complaints with these.

The terrain is perfect for disc golf. The first three holes play flatish, after that the hills come into play for the rest of the course. Lots of up and downhill shots with plenty of roll away potential on a bunch of them. The latter half also plays more wooded too. Not on every hole but more than enough to keep it interesting.

The flow of the course is pretty easy to follow for the most part. The walk from hole 3 to 4 is the longest and wouldn't be real obvious if I didn't have a map with me. Finding 16's tee wasn't immediately obvious either, but there's really only one direction it could be, back toward the parking area.

The tee signs are decent. Hole number, basic hole map, par and distance. All the pertinent info you really need.

The tee pads are my biggest gripe here. All the good things I said above are true. Some of these things are on such a steep angle it's borderline ridiculous. I don't recall ever seeing concrete pads this unlevel anywhere else. Very strange. I'm glad it was warm and dry when I played.

A parking permit is required between 8-4 on weekdays. We got there at 3 and had to download an app to pays for a permit. Not that it took that long, but still annoying.

The rough off the fairway can get pretty gnarly in a few places. Lost plastic is a very real possibility here. The wife sailed one long on the downhill hole 10 and it's a borderline miracle we found it. There's a few other areas around that section that were thick and nasty.

The course is crammed into a pretty small area for 18 holes. Not the safest design I've ever seen. This was fine today as we were the only people out there. I imagine during the school year this place gets pretty busy. There's crossing fairways, holes that play extremely close to each other, and you throw over the walking path a few times.

I wasn't a fan of the concrete circles underneath each basket either. I've only ever seen this a few times and not only is it hideous looking but it'll scuff up your discs if you play here alot, especially base line plastics that most people putt with.

Even with all the cons I listed I still really enjoyed my round out here. I'd imagine it can be melee if it's busy though.

Definitely worth a spin if you find yourself out this way. It's by far the best option in the area as far as WI options go.

Fun holes great piece of land with elevation changes. one hole that has stuck in my mind was hole 8 long drive with a putt for a duece opportunity. The hills are important to this course and create some blind tee shots which create some nice ace opportunities.

I feel that this course is dangerous. Especially when you have a couple different holes playing to a central area of the park with 2 teepads and 1 baskets seperated by 30 feet. I played this course on an early summer Saturday and Sunday morning and only people I saw where some elderly people out for a stroll on the paved walking paths which you throw over more than once in the design. If I was here when other people where on the course my feeling might have changed.

enjoying shots and nice elevation make this course a quick and easy play could use updated signage to help with routing. No way you could run a big event on this course with the amount of holes close by each other in the middle of the park.

This marks the fourth time I've been to the U.W. Platteville course over a span of 15 years. From my first visit, and including this last round here; I am pleasantly reminded that I find this course charming.
Use of elevation is one of this course's main assets.
New tee signs are informative and give the impression that things are on the upgrade mode here.

Overall length not quite up to modern standards.
Tees are concrete; but are quite old and crumbling in some cases. Also, there are quite a few that are slanted up or down hill. I personally, find this to be part of an interesting design; that used to be used much more often. However, modern players rarely see this design feature and do not like it when they do. There are some injury danger aspects to this style of tee pads.
Homemade buckets. A few spit outs amongst our group of five. I did not have any myself; and again, I find different style buckets to be charming. These hold very well IMOH for old homemade baskets; and I believe they require a little more touch when putting. However, for the modern player who drives every putt home with AUTHORITEE!; these will be considered to be a little weak.
Buckets have recently been repainted with silver paint; and visually look pretty good.
As with all school courses; you will have to play around students to some extent.
School had begun when we came this time. Parking was extremely full. Both of our vehicles parked in a lot which said by permit only; as all spaces on the road were completely used up. The good part is that we got no ticket. Bad part is that you hate to begin a round and play; thinking you may get one.

These days; there are tons of courses on school campus'. U.W. Platteville was a very early college campus course. For it's time; it was a wonderful course. By today's standards, it is a little "old school." However, I found this course to be very enjoyable and will stop in again when in the area. The new tee signs seem to indicate a new interest in upgrade. If they do some tee work; the overall course will be one more level improved. Without some modern redesign, this course will probably never earn more than a 3 rating, and this may be slightly generous. But, as I said, knowing the history, and compared to many of the campus courses I've played; I find this one both charming and challenging.
