Great Course Up and Down
1 
8/9/2009 
7/13/2010Pros: Great variety of short and long holes along with wooded and open holes. Elevation changes on almost every hole. Very demanding course that requires good accurate drives to score well. Baskets are in good condition and most were easy to find. I didn't have a course map but still found my way around the course fairly easy. Wind can be a big factor, especially on the last few holes at the top and on the way down the mountain.
Cons: When I went through it, the grass in the fairways was pretty long (over ankle height) and in some places around knee height. The natural teepads can become slippery if wet but were in good conditions for the most part.
Other Thoughts: Very scenic and peaceful. Saw a pack of foxes running through the grass/wildflowers near the base of the mountain. Almost stepped on a basketball sized wasp nest on the back side of the mountain. Beware of where you're stepping when looking for discs. Highly recommend this course if you're ever in the area. I hadn't planned on playing this course while up north but had to once I realized how close I was to it and it was worth the detour.

Report this Review Fun ski hill course
Pros: This is very fun ski hill course with some awesome elevation and great views from the top. The hills are used really well to create variety and challenge, though there are some strings of uphill and downhill holes in a row it doesn't just feel like you're playing up to play back down. There is a great variety of distances, with some shorter holes you can take an ace run on, some long uphill holes that challenge your arm and your stamina, and a few great downhill bombs at the end of the course (and a couple more throughout). Unlike some ski hill courses, the woods between ski runs are brought into play some to add more variety and keep it from getting boring.
There is a nice map and hole by hole description available that makes the course easy to follow. There are basic signs marking the tees, and reasonably level natural tees. The baskets are in good shape and catch well. The scenery and natural beauty here is fantastic, especially from the top of the mountain, and the solitude when you get up on the back side of the top of the mountain is great.

Cons: The tee pads are natural, understandable on a ski hill but it does make for uncertain footing at times with some rutted pads, and some that are not completely level. There are some mowing issues, also understandable here, but it does make for some tough disc finding at times, even on some fairways.
The first set of holes is quite boring around the base of the ski hill, they lack the elevation and don't have enough woods or obstacles to keep it interesting. I rarely say this, but these holes actually take away from the course and make it less fun. The first hole is particularly ridiculous, playing over nearly 400' of concrete.

Other Thoughts: This is definitely a place to get to on your Highbridge trip if you can. It's a unique course for the area, and other than the front 9, there is lots of fun variety and challenge and some awesome views. Beginners will find this one pretty tough, more experienced players will find some great tests and some really fun shots off the top of the mountain. The last four holes play all the way down the mountain for a great way to end a fun course.

Wisconsin Northwoods
Pros: Basically everything you could ask for in a course. The flypads (rubber teepads) were nice and smooth. This course has great par 4's and a few 5s with really scenic views. When the leaves are changing colors it is a sight to see.
--Great up and down hill elevation
--Get to crank it down hill quite a few times
--Demands power but placement just as important to set up for birdies.
--Great variety of shots both hyzer, anhyzer and sidearm
--Open bomber holes and shorter (300ftish) placement, finesse shots
--One of the best I have ever played and great hike!

Cons: Can be very, very windy up on Telemark.
Not a con but bring lots of water and a snack because a round can last around 3-4 hours.
Cement pads would be great but maybe someday
Few trash cans, if any (i cant remember)

Other Thoughts: One course everyone should put on their list. If you find yourself in the NorthWoods of Wisco definitely play here, then Highbridge. That would be a phun weekend. Plan ahead for a long round, bring sunscreen, water, food, and be on your A game or this course will own you.

Telemark Resort
Pros: Great challenging course for those up for a bit of an adventure. Huge elevation changes, great hole variety, epic panorama views.
Cons: Not marked or groomed very well. Grab a map from inside or you will get lost. Also bring water because none is provided and the course may take up to 4 hours to play.
Other Thoughts: This course is my favorite to date. For me it is a 5 out of 5 but had to review it lower because it is not well groomed or marked. There are a couple of holes on the backside that are just unforgettable. This is a course that definately favors a big arm with multiple holes over 500'. Not for the faint of heart or mind because it is taxing, but in the end it is all worth it.

My Favorite
Pros: The greatest variety I have found on a course; as well as the best views too. Its hike and an adventure. You have a resort to stay at. Its definately not crowded at all.
Cons: The map or the holes could be much more helpful in helping a person make it from one hole to the next.
Pretty much are going to need half a day to play the course.

Other Thoughts: It a course that you need to be in shape for; but for me personally have never had more fun on a course. The first time it was hard to make it through even with the map trying to find each hole. After you have made it through the course though I really have not found a course that I have found close to as much fun and great to play.

Telemark
Pros: Huge bomber course. First 9 holes at the base of the Mountian/hill. Then you have the choice to climb and really test your skills and stamina. Giant pines are beautiful. Some par 4's and a par 5. Pay to play, scorecard/maps available at the front desk. $5. The finishig holes are great, 300ft, 700 ft, 500 ft, 300 ft, ALL DOWN HILL!!! Enjoy a beer and great food in the lodge, mention disc golf and the first one is usally free. Course closed Nov 15th thru April 1st. Home of the Par 72 Fall Open A tier, GREAT EVENT!!!!
Cons: Natural tee pads get a little rough with alot of play. The mowing issue has been taken care of, so that is no longer a con. Not very beginner friendly past hole 9.
Other Thoughts: Possibilty of 12 more holes may be on the horizon to make it two 18's. The Views are SICK!

Nice.
Pros: This is a real fun course to play. This course will definately challange you. Some holes are 700' plus downhill throws that are just awesome to watch discs sail down. Long uphill holes add challange. Some nice wooded holes and a few tight fairway shots, but most holes are fairly wide open with the exception of a few trees.
Cons: This course will kick your butt, especially on a hot summer day. Most of the holes are uphill shots, followed by a downhill holes, followed by another uphill shot. This makes for a lot of walking up steep hills and can get pretty tiresome. Still, the course is fun and the walking is worth it. Also, it might be a good idea to use a spotter if possible to help locate your disc as there is lots of tall grass and thick woods in areas. This will save you lots of time and extra walking.
Other Thoughts: Bring your big guns and be ready to throw long!
