 Beauty meets Design

Pros: This course along with parts of the other courses were originally going to be ball golf courses. Therefore you have a beautiful open layout with some great landscaping. Long sloping holes make for some long par putts. Well maintained as are all the courses here at Highbridge thanks to John. This course takes you to some amazing views of the hilly country side.
Cons: I can't say anything negative about any of these courses here.
Other Thoughts: This place deserves attention. You must plan to spend at least two full days here to take in all this beauty. Wonderful

 Favorite course ever

Pros: This is as close to a perfect course as one will find, in my opinion. It contains a vast variety of holes. Some are short and tight, others long. Elevation change is a definite plus here. One hole is my favorite ever (can't remember the number): You tee off at the top of a hill overlooking the gorgeous Chaquamegon forest. You can see the pin down the hill and past a large tuft of trees. Bomb a big hyzer over the trees, or face the wrath of the rough. There are a couple well-placed pins near a pond.
Cons: It's one of those courses that can wear you out (nothing, though, like Gold at Highbridge, which is grueling). So the 600' 18th can be daunting. I wouldn't recommend teeing off later than 10:00 a.m. on hot days, because finishing on that hole can be tough.
Other Thoughts: GO TO HIGHBRIDGE. SUPPORT DISC GOLF PARADISE.

 Plenty of Granite, a Few Ridges, One Hell of a Hike!

Pros: 1. Elevation. Nearly every hole has some type of elevation change to deal with, including some tricky pin placements on hillsides and mounds. Amazing views on the huge downhill bombers. The back 9 starts and ends (#10 and #18) with uphill treks you'll regret should you be ill-prepared!
2. Variety. Although this course has lots of wide-open tee shots, design excellence can be found scattered throughout, like the unique mando tunnel after a huge wide-open tee shot (keep it straight!). The course was definitely designed with the prevailing winds in mind, too, without which these holes might seem more like filler than challenge (they are the latter).
3. Beautiful scenery. A large OB reservoir--the biggest hazard at Highbridge--and a decent-sized (easy to avoid) pond on a crazy downhill hole. Bring a camera!
Cons: Tee signs are really faded and could use some touching up,
Other Thoughts: This is a 5 in my opinion because it is a true test of DG skills, including accuracy, although it lacks in really tight fairways. The big elevation changes and OB are additional factors that bump this course to championship calibre, and there are many memorable holes.

Each Highbridge course is its own entity contributing in its own way to the awesomesauceness that IS Highbridge.

Pros: Granite Ridge is the most open of all the Highbridge courses. The first few holes start at the top of the hill and stay wooded, but eventually give way to the well groomed open area. Just because the course is more open than the others here doesn't mean you can just open up and let it go though. There are several water hazards, small swamps, bunkers, well placed trees, and length to make it a championship course. The course has it all including elevation and beautiful views.
Cons: It can be a brutal play on a windy day. Hole eighteen is 600+ uphill. It's a great hole, but can be a difficult hike if this isn't your first course of the day. I know that it's necessary by design to finish back at the top of the hill by the pro shop, but it's not how I like to finish a round.
Other Thoughts: All of the courses here really do a great job of complementing one another, and not making a day of disc golf seem repetitive.
