Whitehall
Pros: Cement tees!
Look around, really nice, lots of trees!
Baskets are nice
Great course layout
The deep 9 is one of my favorite spots to play ever!
Great to play when the weater isn't so good because of the tree coverage

Report this Review good course
Pros: Technical course, a good challenge cut out of a forest. I enjoyed the little tree "structures" around the course and the little statues left had a surreal feel to them.
Cons: Some of the holes are ridiculously hard, but other than that I enjoyed my round here.

Pros: Nicely laid out course. There's 3 9 hole loops to play that all come back to the parking lot. The first 18 are relitivly shorter holes with some difficult lines to follow adding a nice degree of difficulty. Built in a nice forest so there's a lot of trees to get by, but it makes the course look stunning. Deep 9 are longer holes with a bit fewer trees, but there's still the degree of difficulty that the trees create.
Cons: Lots of trees. If you hit trees often, you're going to hit them a lot more often here. Not a place for Dx or Pro D plastic. All the holes have a similar feel to them due to the same trees around. Only one hole feels different when there's a slight feild shot in the deep 9. Lots of downed trees laying around off the fairway so if a disc bounces off into it, you might just end up twisting your ankle.
Other Thoughts: Difficult course. I like it for the degree of difficulty it offers. Well planned out course layout. Another thing I noticed was there were always headless little lawn statues creeping me out. One of the heads ended up on top of a basket with a swastika painted on it's forehead. Creepy... But funny in a way.

Intermediate/Expert
Pros: - Course is set in a giant, wooded park, completely devoted to disc golf. Each 9 is a separate loop to customize your round.
- Biggest pro here is the constant challenge of shaping lines. From start to finish, an endless supply of pine trees and other typical foliage are present off the tee, in the fairway, and near the basket. The looks are fair, with well defined paths to take to the basket, but there are many spots where the line must be shaped from start to finish.
- Some fantastic shots here, with a plethora of various tunnels, hyzers, and anhyzers, and more if you got it. #2 Deep has a double teepad allowing for a big hyzer or anhyzer, extremely unique and enjoyable. #6 Deep is a true par 4, pretty much the whole deep 9 is great. Decent elevation changes in some spots as well.
- Awesome variety of hole length, with over 6 around 200', 7 over 350', and a lot in between. The break-up of each section lets people pick and choose in a good way; the front 18 are generally on the shorter side, with the deep 9 providing a lot of the distance. This also holds true with the difficulty, with the deep 9 designed for the more experienced players.
- Some tricky basket placements, due to sloped greens or other obstacles. Good shot placement off the tee can be critical on these holes.
- Signage isn't too bad, navigation on the holes and the course isn't too tricky. Good baskets, and good teepads.

Cons: - Obvious con at this course is the similar terrain. While the holes themselves feel different, the look is the same, the obstacles are the same, and the hazards are more or less the same (there is rough in places). If this isn't your type of golf then it's gotta be murder.
- A lot of short holes overall, so the difficulty factor is probably lacking for some. Tough lines for the most part, but it might be a bunch of approach shots for the big arms.

Other Thoughts: - Overall, a solid course that demands accuracy on every throw. Tight pine tree lanes of all variety, noticeable elevation changes, and a wide range of difficulty. Beginners may find the lines too tight, with too many trees, and experts may desire some more length, but there is something for everyone.
- I would put the front 18 at a 3.5, but the deep 9 easily bump it up to a 4, almost a 4.5.

Pros: - Whitehall, public but with many of the trappings of a top-notch private course, provides 27 holes of solid discin' set in moderately forested, moderately hilly terrain. Pines, both mature and young, mix with various deciduous trees throughout. Schule is minimal to non-existant: although the trees are numerous enough to create awesomely tight holes, little to no undergrowth impedes the round. The course is largley clear of the debris of fallen limbs, etc. giving the course a very clean and neatly groomed appearance. The park space seemed wholly disc golf dedicated. Distances vary from 187- 650'.
- Whitehall is comprised of three separate nine hole "loops," with each "loop" ending back at the parking lot. As one enters the park, the front nine is on the right with both the back nine and "Deep Nine" to the left.
- Elevation and vegetation are used to full potential. No major elevation changes, but enough throughout to keep the fun factor high. The fairways, defined by trees, are fair and spacious in places, but tight enough in others to be considered extremely technical, especially as the course progresses. Many holes offer multiple routes. Deep #2 goes so far as to have a dual tee and dual fairway, each route offering its own unique set of risk/reward.
- Amenities, details, upkeep and grooming. The people taking care of Whitehall are ahead of the curve. Besides the basics of deeply brushed, level, wide, long, grippy concrete tees (on the pros), descriptive and consistant signage, and solid baskets, Whitehall one-ups most other courses with brooms, patio furniture or benches, cans for cigarette butts, and large plastic trash barrels on most holes. Port-a-john in the parking lot. Chill spots, wooden indian statues, guardian frogs, defaced maiden statues and twin pink horses dot parts of the Deep Nine.

Cons: - #4's am tee was basically a pile of broken glass, the only part of the course to suffer any such treatment.
- Someone defaced a few of the maiden statues, albeit in a grudgingly humorous manner.
- The am and Deep Nine tees are above-average natural dirt tees, although I'd hesitate to consider this much of a drawback.

Other Thoughts: - A touch repetitive in places, in that you're getting a bunch of really awesome variations on the same theme, more or less. Personally, I could play Whitehall all day every day, but I prefer tightly wooded technical holes over bomber style courses. I do wish more of the course was like D6, easily the signature hole.

Whitehall Pros: Whitehall is in a great location right off the highway but snuggled into the woods. This course has a great 27 hole layout. The entire course requires accuracy and skill to post low scores. The Deep 9 were established in 2009 and will challenge even the best players. Play smart and enjoy the scenery. The Whitehall Disc Golf Club runs leagues here in the Summer and Winter they put in a great amount of time to make sure this course stays up to date and is taken care of.
Cons: Watch out for trees.
Other Thoughts: Come Play the Harvest Moon Classic held every year in September.

Pros: Excellent upkeep. Regulars take excellent care of this course and there is a broom and garbage at every tee pad.
Variety. There are a lot of different shots needed at this course. From accuracy shots through thick woods with narrow fairways, to wider open shots along the powerlines.
Location. Love the fact that this is a disc only course. no sharing the course with picnickers and other yahoos doing non-disc things.

Cons: needs updated tee signage at some point. Other than that, no issues.
Other Thoughts: As a beginner this course has a little bit of everything. I love variety, it gives me a chance to work on every type of shot I need to improve my game.
This course is five minutes away from my home town of Montague and there is a ton of family and friends in the area which makes it even more attractive to go home.

Pros: Easy to follow, there is no way you will get lost. Nice cement tee pads. after each group of nine holes you come out to the parking lot so you can play them in any order. first 18 holes are all fairly short and technical. decent variety, You have to go left and right. difficult but not impossible, each group of 9 gets harder. Pretty hard to lose discs here.
some holes that I really liked:
16: 355' downhill shot. a few different lanes, you can throw FH or BH.
http://www.dgcoursereview.com...16&page=1#
D2: the most unique hole I've played at any course. It's set in part of the forest that looks like there was a fire (trees are all charred and black). There is a sort of "double" tee pad, and 2 distinct fairways so you can take a FH or BH shot or hyzer/anhyzer.

Cons: so many trees that if you get off the fairway it's quite frustrating. While the shape of the shot changes a lot, the terrain stays the same throughout the first 18. There is no water, which to some people is a con.
overall I think this course could be improved by removing a few trees. I get that It's supposed to be tight and difficult but it might be overdone a bit.
Hole I dislike
D6: 650'. It is really long but there are too many trees to really bomb it.

Pros: Very nice course overall, great example of a Michigan woods course. Benches, signs, and nice cement at every hole. This course is very well maintained, and provides a variety of shots for all players. Three nines all start by the parking lot, so it can be played a variety of ways. Great putting area between holes 10 and 18 by the parking lot.
Cons: Some people might have a problem with this course never leaving the woods. All shots have a fairway, but none are without constrictions. Deep Nine might not be for novice or beginner players.
Other Thoughts: This is one of my favorite Michigan courses. I got my first ace on hole 6, my first time playing the course. I have seen the course develop and change into a fantastic 27 holes. The variety of shots throughout the course gives everyone a challenge. The newest addition of the "deep nine" has great character and is far more challenging than the traditional front and back 9. Its location to the highway makes it a great stop on the way to other awesome near by courses (Flip City, Mason County, etc..).

This review was updated on 11/5/2009
Pros: a good mixture of length on holes especially with the newly added deep nine. good for forehand and backhand.long and short woods are tough but forgiving grounds well kept fun to play f your a beginner or advanced deep nine is pretty challenging especially holes 6, 7 and 8. plenty of straight away shots, hole 16 its either hit or miss you have a great show or a not so great shot , cement pads all discatcher baskets , fun to play a round of night golf very clean garbages at all holes alot of holes have butt cans also, port o john in the middle of course which makes it easily accessible bulletin board also makes it easy to find stores to buy discs and also tournaments in michigan
Cons: slightly repetitive, the only really open hole is number 6 on the deep nine, sometimes can be a little crowded on the weekends in the summer but most dg parks are.
Other Thoughts: home course and i love it
