Pros:

Wolf River Crossing Park is a tiny piece of land crammed next a parking lot for the boat ramp that is even bigger than the park itself. They managed to fit 9 holes in here, barely. It works for the most part.

The baskets are New Mach II's. These are decent. They don't catch hard putts very well compared to most other baskets on the market, but you shouldn't have to jam hard putts here so they're alright. They're still practiacally new though at least. One basket and placement per hole.

The course flow is very easy to follow once you locate hole 1. You won't need a map here as it just plays clockwise around the outer fringe of the park space. Starts and ends right next to the little parking lot to the west of the main boat launch parking area.

Tee pads are natural but work great for a course of this length. Hole 1 is the longest hole at around 270' so a huge run up is unnecessary. None of the tee areas were torn up either. To be expected for it being so new. Concrete would be excessive here anyway.

Hole 2 is an awesome water carry hole. By far the signature hole on the course. There's a bail out zone on the right but can still be tricky to land on depending on the winds that day. They do a good job of tucking some pins into the woodline in a few places to at least add challenge on the green.

There are tee signs but they only feature the hole number. Clearly the same people were involved in this design as the course up the road, Weyauwega H.S. These at least get you to the next tee area quickly. Every basket is visible from the tee or else just a quick walk up the fairway to spot it so these are alright.

The park was in great shape when I played. Permanent and free to play with restrooms available between hole 1's basket and 2's tee.


Cons:

The signature hole is pretty cool for someone like me. Not a great hole for newer players at all. If you land in the pond you're not getting your disc back unless it's right on the edge.

If this park is busy, which it seems to be, there's going to be numerous issues playing here. The parking lot by the course seems to be the unofficial "overflow" parking area for the boat launch. There's also a pretty popular bar and grill right by the north side of the bridge that will bring more cars into the south side lot. So holes 1 and 9 may have to be skipped depending on how much things are overflowing.

The design has way too many safety issues. Holes 2,3 and 4 are just crammed into a bottleneck area. 2 and 3 especially. Holes 6 and 7 play paralell to each other, just going opposite directions. They're both short holes but it's still a poor concept. There's aplayground area smack dab in the middle of the main chunk of the course too. Not great.

Getting into the course is not obvious at all. Especially if you try to outsmart your smart phone like me. There is one way in and one way only. Trust Google maps, even if it's just this once. The entrance goes under the bridge over the river from the north side.

The rough is pretty nasty off the fairway along holes 3 and 4. And really everywhere for that matter. Very swampy area being so close to the river. Lost disc potential is very real with an errant shot.

Being next to a busy road, boat launch, bar and restaurant, etc. Not a peaceful round if the weather is nice out. If fact it was one of the least peaceful rounds I've played in a bit.


Other Thoughts:

The course is fun enough if there's nobody else around. And you're aware of that. The design is very poor. Not so much the design, that someone OKed slapping a course in here. It's just too busy of an area with too little space. In the winter or non war weather months it's OK. Course should be voluntarilly pulled during that time before something happens to get it pulled permanently. It probably should be anyway.
