Pros: Nice distance course.
Good use of natural obstacles.
Placement of first disc is very important - most of the holes cannot be achieved from the tee. You need to make critical decisions as to what disc to throw and where to place it, in order to solidify a second shot for par.
Gorgeous water hazards throughout the back nine.

Cons: You will need a map.
The front nine is somewhat monotonous. Random trees.
If you value every single disc in your bag, be prepared to take your shoes off and wade for a moment.

Other Thoughts: I traveled to Michigan and played 7 courses in a three day span. Of all of them, Victory Park had the most beautiful signature hole. It is a 327 ft. drive directly over a river. If you can't make the drive, you lose your disc. Obviously, some folks don't like this...but I found it exhilarating. I love to feel anxious before a throw - like this throw really matters. To me, that is disc golf! The several "water holes" at this course made the entire course worth playing. Without them, it would just be another typical public park course.
Also, print a course map. Seriously. As long as you have it, the difficulties with the layout will diminish. I had no problem finding the next pad and basket with the map. I found it through the PDGA website links.

Great course
Pros: Good variety of shots, some elevation change, water hazzards on #9,10,11,12,13,14.. Flush toilets. Nice playground for the little ones. Pavillion and grills for lunch.
Cons: Soccer field can come into play on holes #9 and 14. Field is ALWAYS soggy as can be.
Other Thoughts: If you throw into middle of pond on #12, kiss it goodbye...muck city! Sometimes dude in a kayak will retrieve disc for you. #14 definate ace possibility. Cascarelli's in downtown Albion has great pizza and Bell's on tap.

Great Course
Pros: This course is great. The tee pads are wonderful; even and long. The hole layout is very good, and quite challenging. I love throwing over 300' across water, so sweet.There is also a 990' hole on this course, very cool since there are not many courses in the area with any distances close to this. Hole 12 (990') is awesome, you through out over a field then road, with trees on the left and a large pond in the middle of your 2nd drive. I really enjoy this course and there are plenty of shorter holes to get your birdies to even out the long holes.
Cons: No signs, but the course is still new. This problem can easily be avoided by looking up the course on google and printing out a map for yourself before the round. Once you have played it once correctly you will never be lossed in returning rounds.
Other Thoughts: I would not recommend this course for beginners as there is a lot of water that comes into play and the course is long.

Signs?Map?? 
Pros: Cement tee pads,front 9 is through mature trees and rolling hills,back 9 steps up the challenge with lots of water and difficult pin placement,once I figured out the course I found it to be challenging and fun,
Cons: Very confusing layout,no signs anywhere,I had to track down the only person on the course to find hole #1 and I still threw at the wrong basket,baskets are numbered but not tees I found myself throwing at the wrong basket more than once,a lot of holes border roads/parking lots making a mistake may result in hitting a car,back 9 is flat and course lacks some variety,
Other Thoughts: Hole #1 is near baseball diamond,tees off next to main road through park,I wish I could give a description of the course layout but it was hard enough when I was there let alone now, Good Luck

Pros: Challenging variety of holes. Couple of cool holes near the Kalamazoo River.
Cons: Hole 12 is a bad design, especially when road crossing the fairway is OB...unless you throw 400' +, don't expect much better than a six here. While I like many of the holes, seems like some of the teeing areas were strange choices. River will not only swallow, but take your disc.
Other Thoughts: Cement pads make this a can't miss course.

Very dissappointing 
Pros: New cages that have numbers on them. Cement teepads. That's about all.
Cons: Horrible layout. No signs, tough to figure out where to start and where to go. Very few birdie holes. Ridiculous water hazards make 'fool's holes' on back nine. More like a 13 hole course.
Other Thoughts: I was dissappointed with this course immediately upon arriving in the park. The course has no markings where to go whatsoever. This is one of the poorest course layouts I have ever come across. The pins were all placed very far from the teepads. They became generic - every drive being a straight 'throw it as hard as you can'. I recorded no birdies while bogies seemed like pars. I have no problem driving distance but a few shorter holes with obstacles would have been nice. I didn't even consider playing holes 10 - 14 because the cages were placed way too close to a raging river. If a disc touches the water here, it's gone for good. This park had all the makings for a decent course but this layout fails in every way. Scrambles format might make it somewhat enjoyable. I guess it's better than nothing if you go to Albion College or live in the area. Not worth the trip for out-of-towners. Oh, and good luck finding a partystore in the area.
