Good, but Bad. 
Pros: This course HAS potential. The upkeep was simple, and the layout was really nice. Tricky for beginners. Fun and challenging for experienced players. Short holes, and long holes, and definantly a work out. Lots of dog legs, and valley shots. The 18th hole had one of the best scenic views I've seen, and one of the most fun, long, downhill shots I've ever thrown.
Cons: Grass was very deep, and spent a total 2+ hours just looking for discs. Wear long pants and hiking boots; lots of thorn bushes. Some holes felt impossible.
Other Thoughts: The front 9 was very fun, but the back 9 didn't even feel like it was worth my time.

Pros: Nice Layout, downloaded the course map and it worked well.
Open and in some places, more wooded in others gives a nice variation.
Also many of the holes have tee boxes on a hill and the pole on another hill and you end up with some pretty amazing shots if you get it there. Its kind of a bummer when you get stuck having to toss uphill though.
Open 18th hole gave me a nice far toss.
Was nice and dry in the spring, easy to find your discs, no thick grass, waiting to find out how it changes in the summer.

Cons: Very hilly, but not bad if you're wearing athletic or skateboarding style shoes.
No baskets, only a few wooden stake type poles with paint on them.
The tee off pads are wooden blocks with dirt or sand and are really dug out, thankfully both sides of the pad are nice, flat, hard dirt and work nicely if you dont mind.
In spring the trees dont block the wind on the first few and last few holes. Can work with or against you.
No hole info near tee boxes so print the map.
Beer bottles and trash, unfortunately left by discers when there is a trash can in the parking lot.

Other Thoughts: Nice course for practicing your drives and mid range shots, but without baskets, you don't get any putting pratice. I love the course, but I wish it had some baskets and I wouldn't mind the tees as much if i knew where I'm throwing to. The map is a great help.
I'm thinking about cleaning up the trash and flattening some of the tees. I also am thinking about tying bright cloth around the branches that are poles so they are more visible.
18th hole really has a spectacular view from the tee box

MOW ME!!!
Pros: If you want a work out with your golf game this course is it. Lots of elevation changes will keep you huffing and puffing all thru the round. Its a longer course so you can really let it fly on many holes Especially 18, which has one of the best views you can find in the GR area. You tee off and bomb it straight down hill. Otherwise its a great mix of open and wooded, up hill and down hill. Lots of dog lefts. Good times with tons of potential.
Cons: LONG grass in the summer. Physically draining. Pole course. Sandy tees. First time navigating is tricky.
Other Thoughts: I know concrete tees and baskets are a pipe dream...but if they would just mow this course more often it would be killer.

Good course if they had baskets
Pros: Very good course, good distance on holes, a lot of elevation change. If you like to get a work out while playing this course is the one for you.
Cons: The tee boxes are all dirt, when it rains it is very difficult to get a good drive. They don't cut the fairways too often so if you throw to the left or right you have to go digging. They don't have baskets only poles so you are always adding another stroke onto each hole.
Other Thoughts: If they put in concrete tees and baskets this course would be one of the best in Grand Rapids i think. Very challenging, you have to play the game very smart and learn how to lay up every once in a while.

Johnson Park...Potential. 
Pros: From the first step to the last hole one gets the feel of being at ease. This course has a secluded woodsey feel about it. Parking is great and the start of the course is but a few steps from the first slab. This course makes for a nice day of discs away from the noisy crowds.
Cons: Where does the grocery list start? First the course must have been designed by the Marques de Sade. Up hill, down hill, up hill, down hill was the rhyme to the reason. Luckily I had printed a map of the course or there would have been no way to navigate the holes.The terrain was great for exercise but many time you found yourself walking in washouts up hill to get to the next tee. The tees were dirt pits with railroad ties when the ties were actually there. The holes were post type without chains and usually overgrowth prevented decent recognition.
Other Thoughts: This course overall was designed for the young hardcore player. If the local jusidiction would put a few dollars into it for benching, steps, and maybe a port-a-pottie here and there this course would be a 4plus disc course.

Pros: Fun, challenging, many terrain changes and trees come into play. Good variety of shots required. Secluded and lots of beautiful scenery. Outstanding view of the valley from the top of the hill. Sometimes deer and turkey can be seen here.
Cons: Pole course (would love to see baskets here, but I've heard that the secluded nature of the course made vandalism and theft a problem), The worst part about this course is the horrible tees, sandy with railroad ties surrounding them (twisted ankles can be a problem). The 'rough' can be rough on your ankles, wear sturdy shoes and socks. Mosquitos late in the day.
Other Thoughts: frequently overlooked due to the 'pole' nature of the course, but worth a look
