Its the best (highest addiction factor) 9-er of 125 I have played.

Have you played Brickyard in Menominee?

No......I think harr also asked that. Its way out of my way, but if I ever drive to Minneapolis I'll have to remember to stop by there.

It's tight and technical without being annoying. You have to bring your A game, but not your "magic wand because this is impossible" game. And there is a pond to swim in at the end of 18 with a beach. One day I will travel the 2000 miles to play it again...

Having spent 6 years of college 20 minutes from Deerfield and the rest of my 24 years of life 15 minutes from Flip City I can honestly say I would rather play Deerfield than Flip.

And the rumor is that Deerfield is adding another 18 holes (possibly next summer) that are going to be better than the first 18.

You just sold me . . . that will be one I hit when driving from Flip City across the state to Bay City!

For those that have put Nevin in near the top because they love the challenge, they're installing a new course where Swingin DB's is located (near Raleigh/Durham) called Rock N' Rollin Fairways. The rough edges of 7 of the holes were used for the Swingin DB's tourney and from what I saw of the rest, it will be just as tough if not more difficult than Nevin.

There's more than a few 300'+ placement shots to a turn where you have to be in a 30' diamater to even think about going for the green.. IF you can navigate 10' wide gaps for another 200'+ and miss the water sitting 5' from the basket locations.

I haven't been back since but honestly I hope they lightened up just a bit as they went forward.

1. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=4557 Mont du Lac, outside of Duluth/Superior - Two courses on the property. Both courses have everything. Tunnel shots, crazy elevation, water. Must play for anyone passing through the area. Camping and full bar(with good beer) and grill on site. My favorite of the 190 I've played.

2. Wildcat Bluff, Urbana IA - What Scarpfish said - "Woods, elevation, some water, neat paver teepads, unrelenting rough if you get off the fairway, scenic location."
A great crew is maintaining and always improving the course. Camping on hole 1.

3. Blue Ribbon Pines, East Bethel, MN. - Less than 25 miles from home. Private well maintained course with everything except monster elevation.

4. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1189 Diamond X, Billings MT
Get to drive off a 70 foot cliff. Nough said.

5. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1511 Makoshika State Park, Glendive MT - Set amongst the badlands of Montana. One of the most scenic courses I've played. Not the most difficult or the most variety but a lot of badlands formations to throw around. Great camping on site in Montana's largest state park.

6. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2505 Justin Trails, Sparta, WI - Two well maintained courses on site. Big Bother is challenging course with a lot of shot variety. The Classic Course, groomed to perfection, is a breath of fresh air after Big Brother. Great camping on site.

Honorable mentions:
7. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=748 Sandy Point Disc Golf Ranch - Great private, well maintained, northwoods course
8. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=616 Fountain Hills, AZ - Great winter retreat course...aside from the "reclaimed water."
9. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=386 Highbridge, pretty much the whole place.
10. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3425 Camden II - Like Wildcat Bluff, but in the city
