Pros: The holes are all pretty close and fairly easy to find. Its a nice quiet 18 with good disc catchers.
Cons: Tee pads are short, there are a few places where you have cars near by in parking lots if your a beginner and throw the occasional wild shot. Finding hole 5 took a couple of minutes, you just need to walk across the parking lot towards Leonard street and you will find the tee.
Other Thoughts: If you are not smoking, drinking, or swearing and just playing by yourself or with one other person I do not suspect campus security will bother you all that much. I just got done playing at 8pm on a weekday and I saw 2 other people the whole time playing disc. Not bad!

Pros: Aesthetic-Beautiful course on a beautiful campus. Compared to Calvin, this is the ritz. Course plays around campus marshlands and a large(r) lake. Does not play tremendously close to buildings, but is very close or over paths.

Teepads-Concrete, but about 3 feet too short... This is a pretty short course with most holes in the 200-300' range, but there are a few longer holes >350 that could use a longer run up for the pad..

Baskets-brand new Innova Discatchers, nice condition, and very grippy.

Variety-for a relatively open course the use of natural obstacles and water is fantastic. 11 of 18 holes make use of water or marshland for OB. some of the others use atheltic fields or trees. nice variety here.

Navigation/signage. nice signage, gives a lot of "suggested" flight paths and distances in addition to straight line distances. the walk from 4 to 5 is a whole lot of long and confusing. One sign is needed here.

Practice Basket- this adds a full disc for me. It's a simple gesture that says "we care about our players."
Cons: distance- too short, but for a campus course, it's not a huge con. the longer holes are placed well and the space available is well used.

tee pads-too short and uneven in places. Not broken, just slanted left or rightish...

the one Mando--Wonky. a five foot pole marks the one and only mando on the course. I have no idea how this would work.
Other Thoughts: I played this couse at around noon on a friday and never ran into campus security. Plenty of other campus workers were out and about but I never once saw (or at least was approached by) campus security. then again, I'm a pretty quiet player. I met a nice couple between 4 and 5 and played 5-18 with them and had a wonderful time. This is a step-up from old farm to be sure (cleaner anyway). I will be back to this one. :)

Pros: *** BE PREPARED TO BE KICKED OFF THE COURSE BY CAMPUS SECURITY ***

Decent use of the space and a variety of holes.
Cons: Private course on a conservative Christian college campus. I could see foot traffic being a problem during the busy school year. Again, be prepared to be asked to leave.
Other Thoughts: Even if this wasn't a private course it wouldn't be in the top tier of Grand Rapids area courses because of buildings and walking paths coming into play so often. Don't be tempted by the forbidden fruit.

 Smallest Tee Pads Ever

Pros: -Signs, they were pretty good minus a few that

-Nice verity from a few bombers, water holes, short ones, mandos.

-Nice new baskets!

-Clean this place is super clean.

-Patrice Basket(although it's location seems to be fairly odd, under a group of trees so only like 10 ft putts from the back side)
Cons: -Short tee pads which makes it hard as you will have to start a run up from behind

-Was really slushy through out when I played, a few holes had really bad tire marks(from lawn mowers) in the fair ways.

-Some walking trails, and students will sometime walk through the fairways and dilly dally around.
Other Thoughts: This is a Private Course, that being said It doesn't seem like it would be to hard to walk on. I would say that it being on Cornerstone, don't drink, and don't smoke as I am pretty sure they are a non-smoking campus.

To make it play a little harder you can make all Path's O.B.

There is a mando on hole 9(I think) that in the sign it looks like it could be a street light but there is a pole with a sign that says it's the mando. Kind of hard to make out.

This is a quick little course and has about everything you need. Looks nice when going around campus, and unless you want 450+ bombs or a lot of longer holes, this covers pretty much everything. Its a neat little course although the ending can seem like a lot of short holes all placed in.

Pros: First off I am not a Cornerstone student and I had no issue playing the course.

Nice baskets, decent mix of shot types.
Cons: Becomes repetitive with many holes between 150'-250' to accommodate cramming 18 holes into the area they did . The course winds through the Cornerstone campus and if busy could be a real hazard. Mostly open so the course visually gets boring.
Other Thoughts: Nice to have another course in GR but this one falls short of being part of my consistently played destinations. They should have put in a great 9 rather than a mediocre 18.

Pros: This course has it all for the beginner, Love the design of all the holes with the limited space that was provided. Any Disc Golfer would love this course just to get a good round in that gives you a challenge. I personally love the landscape of where it was placed.
Cons: Didn't really have anything negative other then I can see where safety was a concern but the designers used their space well.
Other Thoughts: The University should allow tournaments and casual play to bring others in.

Pros: Very clean, with sparse trees and mowed, rolling terrain. Very nice baskets (Discatchers) with decent signs. Good beginner course or putt and approach play. A few long holes and plenty of O.B.'s add for difficulty. Very good location, minutes from downtown.
Cons: Short cement tee's, but only a problem on the fee long signature holes (4,7,10). Slightly difficult to navigate(5 is a long walk across parking lot from 4). Too close to paths and other facilities. Not sure where to park to avoid towing.
Other Thoughts: It's not open to the public, so you most be a student or be accompanied by a student to play (if you keep to yourself and be respectful of the property this rule doesn't typically apply.) A good putt and approach course. Buzzz or Roc heaven. Use the walk paths as O.B.'s to add difficulty. Surprising amount of water/swamp hazards. Ideal for a quick round (about 1-1.5 hours). It's location is what makes it a 3 out of 5.
