Potentially Awesome
Pros: 1) Signs have hole #, distance, and par listed. Adequate information, but maps are always nice to see too. I didn't see maps on the signs but perhaps I just overlooked things because I was in a hurry to keep playing the rest of the courses in the area. The pictures on the course page show a handful of signs with maps, so I will assume that they are still there and I just didn't see them.
2) There is very little garbage on this course which is nice to see. It is pay to play but I am not sure how often it gets used nor how often the owner goes through to clean things up.
3) The concrete teepads on the pro tees are nice and grippy.
4) Nice use of elevation with holes playing up and down and across the slopes.
5) Very challenging course throws just about everything at you. While the water is minimal there is one shot where it will be a very popular landing area. The elevation is tough, the trees need to be avoided and the shot shaping is a challenge.
6) Picnic tables available in a few spots on the course, which is always appreciated. I didn't sit down the whole time as I was rushing to play and get to more courses, but had I wanted to sit, I could have.
7) Directionals were helpful in a few spots to direct you to the next tee.
8) Talk about seclusion and natural beauty. You do play near 3 homes plus the one on the property is going up, but overall it feels like you are in the middle of the Northwoods.
9) Decent distance variation which is integral for good design from my perspective. There are holes from 100's and 200's from the short tees and 200's and 300's from the long tees.
10) It has been said before but the potential out here is actually tremendous. While it is a good start already it could be so much more. I am not sure how much money is coming in, but it sure would be nice to see him raise enough money to keep upgrading the course.
11) Decent baskets and some have flags on them as risers to help find the blind baskets on occasion.

Cons: 1) The shorter Am tees are just mulch with cobbled indicating their location. These would be tough to throw from for sure.
2) While the concrete is grippy, the tees are also somewhat small. You don't need a huge runup on this course, but a little bit bigger tee is appreciated and/or a level area around the tees to allow for a runup from off the teepad. Because the course is still a little work in progress hopefully this can be updated eventually.
3) The rough can be really rough. . . a little more cleaning would not only make this course slightly more forgiving but it would also make it much cleaner looking and more beautiful. I know the property is awesome but some thinning and pruning of some of the brush would go a log way in my impression. Again I understand this is private property, so unless they can make money on the course it might stay in its current condition. It isn't the worst I have played by any means, but it seems awfully fresh and in need of more play and some cleaning.
4) This is a really rough walk due to a whole lot of stones and such in the ground. The fairways are no different than the rough areas, and getting equipment to some of these holes might be very tough, so it might be a while before this situation can be corrected.
5) Blind holes abound . . . it requires some extra walking up the fairways to see the basket. It isn't the biggest con about this course but it is worth mentioning. It does not lend itself to solo first timers . . . which was me on this long weekend trip of mine.

Other Thoughts: This course is all about the potential and the property. Eventually I hope the owner makes enough money and keeps putting it into the course. This area is a destination for some great disc golf and I am sure many people would be willing to spend some money on a great course.
The disc golf currently is fun and challenging and pretty good . . . while the conditioning is slightly in-adequate . . . so if they are both improved this could be an oustanding 4 disc course.It is landlocked so it cannot be stretched out much and the natural setting also might not be able to be that much improved. All in all it is all about what this course could be down the road.

Report this Review Fun wooded course
Pros: The course plays on a nice piece of private property. The majority of the course is nicely secluded from civilization, it's always nice to play in disc golf exclusive areas. There is a nice mix of tighter technical shots and holes that offer a little more room to throw a drive with woods and brush lining the fairways.
The long tees offer some variation in length, with some ace run shots and some longer holes where you have to pull out a driver if you want a chance at a deuce. The short tees are a better length for beginners, with mostly holes <300' and easier lines. There are some minor to moderate elevation changes with some tricky tough uphill shots and a couple really fun downhills. The back 9 has more hills and finishes with a fun downhill tee shot.

Cons: The course has some of the typical cons for private courses, I totally understand the expense and work that goes into all the amenities at many public courses, but I still think they're worth mentioning.
The long tees are concrete, but are very short and often not level with the ground around them so it's a bit awkward if you have much of a runup. Short tees are natural, and many looked tilted or rocky. The signage is basic, so you'll end up walking up the fairways on a lot of holes to see where to throw. The baskets are single chain models, I think they catch fine but some people might find them to be an issue.
The design is a lot of fun, but felt a bit repetitive at times. Many of the holes were similar lengths, and it felt like there were a lot of hyzer lines for RHBH players.

Other Thoughts: This is a fun course, and worth a stop if you're in the area. Beginners will find the short tees approachable, with reasonable lengths and interesting lines for less skilled throwers. More experienced players will find the long tees to have some challenges and decent variety, though it won't truly test top level players.

One more thing to do in the Northwoods
Pros: Very fun and challenging course. If you want to take a hike through the woods why not throw some discs too. I played this course three times and even though others were there playing too, most of the time I never seen them because the course is so big.
Cons: It is a new course so there are still some rough spots, but I do see improvement everytime I go.
Other Thoughts: I found this course on the PDGA Course Directory web site. Here is a easy way to find the course. If you are coming from the south when you past Water's Edge watch for the snowmobile trail on the left that turns left. That is the same driveway for the course.

Review By: herminator73 Played: 1 Reviewed: 1 Exp: 26.1 Years
This review was updated on 7/3/2011
Pros: I am the owner so I don't want to seem biast.Opened in 2007. This course is getting better every year. I have cleaned up debris around the fairways, have better marked where the next hole is and 2011 have added white flags on top baskets. In 2011 I have concreted the pro tees and have left the am tees on the ground. There are a lot of blind holes so playing the shorts first will give u a better idea where everything is from the pro pads. Love the peace and the views in this course. This course has challeneged every shot I have in my arsenal, back hand, forehand, tomahawk. roller. It is a tight course with longer holes with some ace runs, but you have to be on your game out here, big arms alone isn't going to cut it. The terraine is rough so where good shoes. Lots of elevation changes which I love. Also have a small shop where I sell discs.
Cons: I still needs some clean up on some of the holes and some light landscaping. Thats why I hope udont mind the pay to play because u know it will go back to improve the course.I am there most days but if you come down and want to purchase discs, I live only a few minutes away and you can call 715-473-2469 and I will be there shortly.
Other Thoughts: Hard to find but I am putting up a larger sign this year ,2011, which will help. I love disc golf and this course challenges you and allows you to be out with other true disc golfer and not a bunch of kids who are annoying. I recommend the drive up for a day or the weekend.
