Pros: Three big factors are put into play at this challenging course: length, elevation, and wind. The lack of trees forces you to play the wind. The new tee signs are great and the baskets are nice as well. New tee boxes are nice though made with somewhat loose red granite. #11 is a par 3 that drives right into a scenic hole location just barely into the woods while the par 3 #17 is just about the same, making the two have a tougher approach shot than the rest. If the course were to have a signature hole, it would be #18, the shortest, but maybe the most difficult par 3 in the area. A birdie shouldn't be hard with a straight tee shot through the line of trees on your right and the bushes on the left. A hyzer shot is also a possible option. The hole also gives an opportunity for an ace.
Cons: The course gets somewhat monotonous as you get further into it due to the fact that it's located in an open field. Tall grass on the sides of fairways makes it difficult to find errant shots so make sure you have a spotter or focus on where your disc landed. Loose gravel on tees makes tee shots somewhat difficult.
Other Thoughts: Great place to go if you're looking for a challenge. Porta-potty on the opposite side of barn from where you park, close to tee box on #2.

Pros: One of two new courses in Ripon. Lots of elevation here, and if as windy as it was on day we played, forces wind decision making.
Signature holes; #16, @400 foot hole, requiring 300 foot shot to make edge of down slope to pin. Blind from tee.
#18: extremely cute @117 foot tunnel shot with very low ceiling. Ace run every time, but tough to keep disc high enough to go in. My throwing mate made a kneeling drive! He managed to get just past pin; but he's good at this difficult/kneeling shot.
No tee signs at present; but mowed fairways lead you to next tee with no trouble.
Good amount of moderate elevation. We played with windy conditions. Elevation and wind (which I believe is going to be in play here often) requires an extra level of skil, and may prove to be one of the more prominent features of this 18.
Lots of black eyed susans and what I believe is wild bergamot (similar to bee balm), amidst prarie grasses. (end of July)

Cons: Primarily a open field course. Little oaks planted, but it will be many years before they are mature.
Red stone/gravel tees are new and currently domed; probably prior to tamping or anticipating wear to levelness; or, perhaps they plan to flatten them level and pour cement on top. If they remain gravel, these tees, as with all such tees, will eventually be a spread out mass of stone with undetermined tee end; unless marked; which is rare.
High grass determines edge of most fairways. Therefore, spot/mentally mark you landings well.
Nothing really signature until the end. Even then, only moderately signature.

Other Thoughts: Two foot tall stone in middle on right side of field in front of parking area is near first tee. There is a raised mound of earth on that end of field as well. Opposite end of grassy area than hole #18 finish, if you see that first.
First tee shot is anheiser around red barn. Barn not really in play, but an interesting look all the same.
