Pros: This course is the best at Highbridge. Best by popular opinion, best by design, and best bu usage. When you finally get off your rump and make your way to Highbridge for a weekend of disc golf fun, start off with Blueberry and you'll never look back or regret your travel plans. This course is so amazingly scenic and technically sound that it will scream "DISC GOLF" at you. You get tight woods, wide open bombers, water hazards on multiple holes (not just one pond or creek), and some excellent elevation. Multiple pin positions are a bonus. Long and wide concrete tees are great (even though I do not prefer concrete). I believe there are multiple tees here (I can't recall), but the long tees are an excellent choice for any serious discer and I think they are the focus of the course layout.
Some of the memorable holes are...
#2 throwing downhill to the pin on one of the two old elevated tee boxes from the golf course.
#5 a tightly wooded and fairly long hole lined with thick woods on either side and a few small OB ponds stacked in the middle of the fairway.
#13 (I think) with a huge OB pond that is uphill of the tee and hidden from view so you don't know if you made the green or not. I love the variety of long and short wooded holes, long and short open holes, uphill and downhill wooded and open holes. I think blueberry has a perfect balance of holes. The most perfect balance of any course I can really think of.
The complex is relatively clean save for a few useless bums who seem to think an empty can is too heavy to carry.
I love this course and I love playing highbridge. I like the relatively low traffic, the amazing terrain and scenic views, and I love the rugged design you get nowhere else than at a mega disc golf complex in the middle of a prime piece of WI northwoods.

Cons: I really cannot honestly think of any. If must, I will say that I do not like finishing playing back downhill on #18 (and reversing my steps back to the parking lot). I also think hole 9 is weak (just an ace run along the side of a small hill) yet the trees near the tee do make you think. #18 used to play differently back in 2004 (I think the last 4 holes did). I do wish it was more clear on the tee sign which position the pin was in on a given day.
Other Thoughts: You MUST come and play blueberry hill! If you consider yourself a raving disc golf maniac who travels to play the best, then you'll get it here. You could just play blueberry and be happy you made the trip - BUT YOU'LL GET TO PLAY 4 MORE COURSES!!!!! Make a long weekend out of your trip. Play blueberry many times, camp on site, play the other courses many times, and play blueberry at night too!

Report this Review I Found My Thrill! As Well As a Few Lost Discs! 
Pros: 1. I shouldn't need to mention design, because all of the courses at Highbridge are VERY well designed. This is just one example of using everything the land offers. Plenty of corridors to navigate, lots of OB areas, enough elevation both up and down, spectacular views, and the most creative tiered hole I've ever seen (see below).
2. Signature holes. You'll definitely remember this course forever, whether it's looking back over #18's fairway after pulling your final putt from the basket (amazing view from on top of the hill), trying to land your drive on the old elevated ball golf tees on #2 (where the wind might just tell you, "Oh no you're not!"), or at #13 ("The Big Hopper"), where there are two tiers with three (blind) OB ponds...the first tier has two ponds, and if you land safe, you've still got to deal with another blind uphill shot to the final tier, where the largest pond guards the 30 feet or so in front of the basket. Very unique holes out here.
3. Demand on your skill and confidence. You'll need multiple different discs and shot types to take a decent score out here, even though this is one of the "easier" courses at Highbridge.

Cons: Hmm...I guess the only thing is that on some of the holes with alternate pin placements that are blind off the tee, you really have no way of knowing which position it's in, requiring some scouting ahead. I guess that's typical of most courses with alt pins, though I have seen some that actually go the extra mile with small signs indicating if the basket is "A" or "B" for the day.
Other Thoughts: If you go to Highbridge and stay for a few days, start with this course. It'll (just barely) get you warmed up and prepared for taking on Gold, Granite, or The Bear on the following day(s).

Wont leave unpleased
Pros: Great Variety. Alot of fun. Great Views. Upkeep is very good. Navigation is as well very good. More Courses surrounding it at the same complex. Not croweded at all.
Cons: Not really anything else around other then camping and forest anywhere with even a half n hour of Highbridge.
Other Thoughts: If your anywhere near highbridge hills I recommend checking it out if you enjoy disc golf even a little bit. I think the place could turn anyone into a fan.

Blueberry Beauty
Pros: Pins are Blue! Great mix of length and elevation..Each hole is creatively named and well marked..This is my favorite disc golf venue..well placed water hazards..interesting rock formations all over the course..A variety of different throws can be used on most of the holes..Plenty of room for imagination..Never just one clear cut way to go..Its for you non-conformers out there..Blueberry is more than a course, its an adventure disc golf Icon..
Cons: In the middle of nowhere so not much for night life..ticks would be my only real concern, so just check yourself after you play!
Other Thoughts: Try a stay at the honka house, very reasonable and convenient. Play hole3 as hole1(right behind honka)and hole2 will naturally play as hole18(in front of honka) and deservingly so..It is by far my favorite hole..A big chuck off a bluff with one of the best views of the course in the backround! Oh...and I got an ace on 9!

Pros: This is my favorite course at the Highbridge complex. Good mix of length and accuracy. Nice elevation changes and well placed water hazards. Takes a few hours to play, but that works to your advantage. Beautifull scenery.
Cons: Some trash around teeboxes. Could use more and larger trash cans. There is one pond that is somewhat blind that swallowed my teerex. Im not bitter, im just saying its out there.
Other Thoughts: Highbridge hills is unmatched. Five quality championship courses including a starter course, Chestnut Hill, that can be played 24/7 under the lights! Highbridge hills is in the middle of nowhere, but if all you want to do is play disc golf all day on great courses this is the place.

shocked that no one reviewed this course after 2007 pro worlds yet
Pros: Probably the best design at Highbridge Hills (by popular opinion), with too many signature holes to even start to describe. Beautiful, unmatched disc golf land. Well maintained, clean, isolated disc golf only environment of solitude. Well marked, great grippy large cement tees. Featuring imaginative and very in play water hazards. Well balanced mix of shots for every type of thrower, the less big-arm oriented of the 3 major courses here.
Cons: A bad shot may end up in Canada (that's a joke).
The only Con about these Highbridge Hills courses is their location, extremely isolated from any major town. Far away from any route across the country. Food, gas, water not too close. Cell phones usually don't work there. If they could be centrally located they'd be packed day-to-day and it'd probably ruin the fun of it though.

Other Thoughts: This place is literally THE BEST single-disc-golf -destination. There are so many holes to play, so many different challenges, great fun courses, cheap camping, isolated wilderness. Make a week of it up there someday, you will remember it forever.
