Not good
Pros: The course plays in a small field behind a church. It seems like a good spot to expose people to the sport, with baskets visible from the church and parking lot, and some visible from the highway. The course uses the scattered trees reasonably well to protect a few of the pins and force one interesting up and over line. There is a course map at the parking lot, and despite the lack of signage it's not hard to follow the flow here.
Cons: There's not really any challenge or variety here. 8 of the holes are similar lengths and require basic straightforward shots, and the only different shot is not all that difficult, with a 150' spike hyzer or overhand over a bush. There aren't enough obstacles to make any of the shots feel obstructed, it's basically a wide open, short field course. The tees are terrible, they're just dusty rutted out areas that are expanding as people throw from outside the worst of the ruts.
Other Thoughts: Beginners can have a good time trying out the sport here, there's not much punishment for errant shots and the lengths are reasonable. Experienced players will find no challenge here, even with nothing but a putter.

Pros: Aesthetic-- kind of reminds me of a mini-golf course that is really trying to be a par 3 golf course. the property is in decent condition.
Baskets-- reasonable condition, some of the "basket portion" were slanted and uneven.
Map-- yep, there's a map, thank god..
Easy to find-- right off 131.

Cons: Navigation-- HARD even with the map. finding the basket for 4 is difficult if not impossible. there are two baskets in a direct line from the tee... ALSO, the tee for 4 does not point towards the basket, rather it points at the basket for 5.
SandBoxes-- the teeboxes are like sand boxes, I found myself taking my steps to the side.
Fairways-- overgrown and hard to follow in places.

Other Thoughts: I played this course during a day where I played three 9-hole courses and an 18. this was the worst of the 9-holes by far.

Review By: Anheuser Played: 23 Reviewed: 9 Exp: 2.8 Years
This review was updated on 10/24/2010
Pros: Good baskets, Course map at the start of the course. Very little traffic. Easy to find. Well maintained. An ace opportunity on ever hole. This will be the first place I take people who have never played the game before. I met two guys on the course who come out there every day on their lunch break.
Cons: Holes are short and mostly straight with not many trees or obstacles to use different styles of throwing. More than anything, I think that is the biggest drawback to this course, not the short links or the fact that it's only nine holes. It seemed flat and barren to me. The tees are basically sand boxes and usually offer no hope of an X step (not that you really need to out here).
Other Thoughts: I tried to review this course as a 9 hole course on it's own and not let the hole count sway my vote. The fact remains, though, it will still be boring for the veteran player. Where it could really shine though is as a "disc golf training center". You could try out new shots, tweak your drive and practice your putting and midrange shots with what I'm assuming would be very little interference from other players. This course and a soccer field for long drive practice would be all you would need to become a great player on your own time. I wish I lived next door to it. I'd be out there every day before work.
No play during Sunday morning services- 10:45 am til ?

Warm Up 
Pros: Course map in the parking lot, easy to navigate, nice baskets, lots of ace runs on all the holes, good to work with the putter and mid range, Nice little 9 hole course.
Cons: Short, Dirt tees(Sand really), Close to the highway, Not much of a challenge to play or many hazards.
Other Thoughts: I like to use this as a nice warm up 9 on my way to Kalamazoo or Battle Creek. This is one of the nicer little 9 hole courses that I've played compared to Middleville, Hudsonville or Norton Shores.

Pros: -No waiting, ever.
-Easy to navigate (Has a course map at #1)
-Generally clean, nearly impossible to lose a disc.
-Nice locals.
-A course with baskets. Fair enough.
-Nice and easy to play in big groups.

Cons: -Difficulty level. This is one of the easiest courses you will play.
-Very little hole variety.
-Flat.
-Hole #5. Aim right, or there's a chance your disc will float over the fence towards the highway. It is a pain to retrieve.
-Tee pads are "dirt" (at this point they are almost sand) and if it has rained at all, they will be puddles and you'll have to drive to the sides of them.

Other Thoughts: This course will not appeal to skillful players. It is a very short, 9-hole course with very little incentive to make someone return.
However, I feel this course deserves a 2 for one reason - this is the best learning course I have ever seen. If you are just starting out, or are still trying to perfect your anhyzers/forehands and midrange/putting game, I feel like there is no better course around to go play a couple rounds and practice. The owner clearly did not have this in mind, but if he was trying to create a practice course, he hit it spot on.

Other Thoughts: This is my hometown course. I learned to how to play here and still am not bored with the course. I would not recommend going out of your way to play this course, but for those that it is available to, it is an ideal location to take your game to the next level.
