can't wait for real tees 
Pros: Epic hilly mostly wooded course with a few long open holes and a shot or two over/by a small lake.
Major elevation by state standards. New so it's not overgrown or too rough. Mix of hole types ranging from 200ft flick shots to 500+ downhill is nice.
Long and short tees.

Long and short tees.
Cons: - Bad, large gravel small and packed in tight tee pads (soon to be replaced with cement*)
- RHBH biased, several holes don't have a lefty/sidearm route and/or shot off the tee due to trees close in front of the pad forcing an akward approach to the shot.
- Severe poison ivy on 3/4 of the last holes, complete with warning signs no holes should have been built there.

Other Thoughts: With new soon to be cement tees it will be nicer.

Pros: -Holes carved right out of a woodsy State Park. Both Challenging and Fun.
-Great place to get some exercise in the up and down semi-hilly terrain while disc'n through a tough course.
-I've spotted deer, beavers, and a Bald Eagle once. seeing Wild life in the area can be a "pick me up" after a tough hole.
-Its spread out. You're never in danger of hitting other discers on the next tee box. You literally cannot see the next hole or the previous hole from the hole your on. That enables you to absorb the current hole you're on. It makes each hole feel different and special.
-While being spread out, its very easy to navigate.

Cons: If there is a con to talk about, its probably the tee boxes. You do have to be careful around some of them but they are not that bad. They fit in with the atmosphere at Deerfield Park.
On the other hand, if they raked them more often, they would improve dramatically.

Other Thoughts: I've lived in Mount Pleasant a while now, and over the course of this summer alone I play Deerfield Park at least 3-4 times a week. This course will make you a better player the more you play it. I go to other courses that have less trees and cover less ground and I find them almost too easy cuz there is nothing in the way haha.. Deerfield is a challenge but its in the funnest way possible.
I usually shoot +1-+4 but my best round was -2.
It just takes practice and when you are done with 18 at Deerfield you'll walk away a better player having seen some holes that you couldn't of imagined before. (#5,6,8,11,12,17 are all my favorite.)

Pros: -Deerfield has a lot of nice elevation changes. For example hole 1 is pretty steep uphill, on 2 the basket is in a ditch (but has a flag so you know where it is), 5 is a 515' downhill shot
-very easy to navigate. there are signs that point you toward the next tee
-probably the best variety of shots of any course I have played (which I have to admit isn't a lot). There are long(5), short(16), hyzer (9), anhyzer(17), uphill(1), downhill(5), shots along(13) and over(14) a pond, tight(8) and open(5) fairways.
-very challenging. Though I'm not that good, I consider it a good day if I score better than +10.
-nice cement tee pads on the pro and am tees.
-holes 1-5 have identical benches. It seems like eventually all the holes will?

Cons: -the pro tee pad for hole 9 isn't textured the same as the rest. It can be very slippery.
-Poison ivy on a few holes.

Other Thoughts: $6 per day or $25 for a year pass. I wasn't sure if this was a pro or a con. On one hand it keeps out some of the people who trash free courses, on the other hand you're losing $6.
If you are in the area stop by the CMU course. Comparing them will make Deerfield Park seem like the best course ever.

Well Laid Out Course
Pros: Deerfield Park is a really fun course and well laid out. The course was very clean, and every hole is different. There are score cards at the first tee and signs everywhere at the tee boxes and telling you where to go next. I found it very easy to navigate. Also there are ladies, tees for the ladies, and they are just as good quality as the men's. This is very rare at a disc golf course and a nice thing to see. Also if you boy can't make it past the ladies tees its fun to give him a hard time. The three best holes are 2, a small dog leg where the pin is in a ditch, 5, a 515 ft downhill hole into a field and 14 where you throw over water. In my opinion this course great and in my top 10. I will come back many times.
Cons: You have to pay to get in, $6 for the day or $25 for the season. I got the season, because I live in Midland and will come back often. I find paying a little is not that bad thou, because it keeps the riff raff out and make the course more pleasant. The tee pads are small and gravel. Hopefully they will upgrade to cement soon. Last is it would be nice to have a diagram of the holes at the tee pads. There are signs, but all it has is the hole number, distance and par. These are some minor cons and if they were to fix these issues it would be a 5 disc course.
Other Thoughts: Overall great course and if you get the chance play it. Also it is way better than CMU, but that's a nice course too.

Fun course
Pros: Great scenery. Course is well set up and easy to navigate. Alternate tees if you feel like trying for an ace on some of the shorter holes. There is a lot of trees on some holes and that makes it challenging. Lots of different types of shots
Cons: Tee pads and having to pay 6 bucks a day.

Sweet Course
Pros: Scenic views, well maintained, extremely challenging, variety of hole types, easy to navigate, picnic areas to rest after/during rounds before you go back and play it again.
Cons: Tee areas are rather short with some steep drop-offs at the end of them, so be careful when running up or you may fall. Tee areas are made of dirt which gives the course a natural look, but hazardous when it rains, costs $6 to use for the day.
Other Thoughts: The course is just great, and the amateur/ladies tees will help keep less experienced players from getting too frustrated (you will still get frustrated).

Reminds me of Flip City
Pros: This course is amazing! Great scenery, great hole design, challenging but fun to play! Arrow signs so you don't get lost, and flags on top of hard to see chains.
Cons: I guess the teepads could be a con, however I found it more fitting to the surrounding to just have the woodchips. I do agree that the teepads should be longer. Maps next to the tees would be nice.
Other Thoughts: This course reminds me alot of the top rated flip city. I found many similarities and enjoyed playing it just as much.

Better with age
Pros: Great variety of hole types:
Lots of elevation changes (which is rare in this area)
Long bombs
Short (and long) technical drives
Water in play
Hyzers, Anhyzers, and Straight rips
Beautiful scenery regardless of the season.
The course is "breaking-in" well with lots of the rough becoming more manageable.
Addition of short tees opens the course up to more players while giving experiencd players several fun ace-runs.

Cons: Tee pads are still compacted dirt which can be good or bad depending on the day and your luck.
Other Thoughts: We are still hoping the Parks will install (or let us install) concrete pads.
In the summer bring something to swim in after a round or two. The swimming beach is just to the west of holes 15 and 18 and about 100 yards from the parking lot.
Other than the tee pads I feel that this course is one of the best in a pretty wide area with its pros definitely outweighing the cons.

The Short or "Alternative" Tees
Pros: Makes Deerfield almost an entirely new course. For people who thought that Deerfield was too hard, this will make it so you have a lot more fun. Turns par/bogey holes into ace runs.
Cons: Dirt pads are still a bit mushy and a tripping hazard. Park Staff are out daily adding dirt and rock to, and tamping down, the tees.
Other Thoughts: This addition to the park makes the 20 dollar yearly park pass even more desirable. It is truly like having two courses in one.

Review By: fleeulrich Played: 30 Reviewed: 26 Exp: 4.9 Years
This review was updated on 4/10/2010
Pros: I really thought this course was easy to navigate through, easy to find the next hole. I really like the signs. This course had a wide veriety of shots, tricky, narrow fairways, long drives, dog legs, uphill, and downhill.
Cons: The pads were a lil short. I wished the signs showed the layout for the hole. Slight hazard of losing a disc on hole 14, good disc placement will be key.
Other Thoughts: All in all this course was great, I really liked hole 2 with the dog leg to the right and the hole tucked behind a hill in a lil ditch (very cool hole placement). Hole 5 was a 515 par 4 that you can really let your disc fly. I also really liked hole 14 by the water, this one was a lil more tricky. This park is real nice and maps are available at the gate when you pay for parking, or you can get them online and print them as well. This course is also only like 10 minutes away from central michigan university disc golf course.
