Pros: As many have expressed already, the course is definetly plotted out well to maximize the use of the land. The shot variation from hole to hole is nice and the trees throughout are sure to mess with every shot (drives and approaches alike). I was also glad to see that they at least attempted to use signage throughout the course (see my review of Tittabawassee Trail).
Cons: 1) As much as they tried to use signage, the locals have vandalized or removed much of them. This doesn't pose too much of a problem except for a few holes where the basket is hidden and the path forks. Also, after hole 6, if you don't pay attention, you can easily end up on hole 18. You must follow the path along the river instead. (-0.5 points)
2) The trash was pretty bad. There were only a couple garbage cans througout the course. Easy fix. (-0.5 points)
3) Lack of elevation changes. I know this isn't the fault of the designers, however, a "perfect" course would have a nice variation of this. (-0.5 points)

Other Thoughts: This course was fairly well maintained and the foliage along the sides of the fairway were not too thick to find discs. I would suggest using a spotter on a few holes if you are playing with someone. However I played alone and didn't lose anything.
I also played at 8AM so I didn't experience the foot traffic that others have complained about.
Overall, very nice course with a nice atmosphere and not overly challenging. Also pretty easy to find. I would recommend it to anyone passing through.

wonderful course Pros: debatably my favorite course. its a perfect mix between memorial park in frankenmuth and in freeland so that makes it awesome
Cons: trash everywhere. but oh well. they should just put more trash barrels at the holes.
Other Thoughts: this place is just great

Oh The Locals Pros: Mix of long and short, left and right with trees everywhere makes this course challenging.
Cons: Oh The Locals. There is a college near by, and a lot of the students have taken it upon themselves to dump over garbage cans, uproot signage and even the cages. The course is constantly a mess and full of mob golfers not letting groups through.
Other Thoughts: This course is a hard course to play. But it is also a fun course.

keeps me coming back...
Pros: This course will challenge your game. There are trees practically everywhere, forcing you to make solid drives, approaches, and putts for pro par. A great mix of long straights and left and right doglegs. A very complete course for your entire bag.
There's also a guy who sells a great selection of discs out of his car some days. And usually, there's a bum who keeps the bottles and trash cleaned up.

Cons: There are several opportunities to lose discs out here. I've lost the most on this course. A bad throw puts it in deep woods, deep grasses, and even deep water over the back of some holes.
It can get kind of busy during the afternoon to night and you get people wandering through the fairways sometimes.

Other Thoughts: It's a great course that's fairly close to home. There's a party store about a mile up the main road that sells discs, too. Definitely worth a few rounds.

Fun
Pros: Very easy to find your way around. Tees are nice. Very well layed out and entertaining. Plus a bum that comes around and keeps all the bottles and cans up for you.
Cons: Need to cut the grass more often and the mesquitos are gettin really bad. Go early cuz it gets busy. It is getting greener out there and is getting alot easier to lose your discs.

Pros: All different types of shots. Wasn't to hard to find our way. Good tee pads.
Cons: People need to pick up there trash instead of throwing it on the ground. Broken bottles on many holes. Signs have all been stolen or vandalized
Other Thoughts: Get there early, you will see lots of people.

Chemical Course
Pros: Good layout, nice players. There is a bum that hangs out all day, he's nice and it's good to have him. For the most part he takes care of all the bottles and cans.
Cons: They need to cut the grass more often. Broken glass everywhere makes it difficult to play barefoot (my chosen method). Trashcans at every hole would eliminate most of the trash.
Other Thoughts: There is a gentleman that sells used and new discs every Thursday, and they are by far the best price that i have run across. If your a new player I would recommend buying used discs. ( I know from experience, I could have saved time by just throwing $70 into the woods)

I liked it better than...
Pros: Nice variety of shots/distances. Nice flow from basket to tee. Still, print a map. Very fun course due to its mix of short/long holes. Reminds me of Cass Benton, kinda...Pretty good condition for a well used place. Good mix of locals. Close to the ballpark, gas stations, food distribution centers, etc. Get there early. Play more than one round. You'll like it. Good scenery.
Cons: A little crowded, but not like I haven't seen that before. A little wet but not overwhelming. Beware the wind on the back-9. More signs would be a +.
Other Thoughts: I would play here all the time if it were closer to the 'D'.

Pros: A compact course that makes great use of minimal acreage and terrain features. Trees are in play on most holes yet the fairways never feel closed in. Crazy fun doglegs on #10 and #16 and funky leaning trees on #11 and #18, plus the step-up at #3 kept things seriously fun and interesting. Benches are available at almost every tee and the cement tee pads are generously sized and well maintained.
Cons: Nature paths parallel or cross the course at several places and other park users seem to wander through or congregate randomly on the course making avoidance a challenge at times. Even multiple warnings of "Fore" didn't warrant a look up or a meander off the course. Trash is a definite and obvious problem as is high traffic and vandalism. Missing or vandalized tee signs on almost every hole makes negotiation a challenge and many of the baskets were dented or damaged.
Hole #17 is subject to thick, sticky black mud in the fairway during wet periods.

Other Thoughts: Good, permanent tee signs and regular trash pick-up or trash cans at every tee would make this course the bomb for a quickie. Wayward traffic control using some type of "Warning, Flying Discs" signage would be helpful, too.
Just getting to the course from the west side of the state proved challenging, and even trying to follow the posted directions from the east lead to confusion.....advance mapquesting is suggested, as is printing the map and scorecard from here before going.
