Pros: This course has everything you could ever ask for shot wise. There are some outstanding elevation changes for se michigan. Hole three is an awesome shot to see where your arm is at with distance from the pro tee. Starting around hole six there are great tight wooded shots that not only put your accuracy to the test, but also offer a wide variety of options. There are several approaches to take which always makes it fun to switch up your strategy each time you play the course. The holes all have cool names which make them unique and easier to remember. Concrete teepads still are in decent condition and they did not remove any of the baskets this year for sledding.
Cons: When the weather is nice this is not always a great course to come to due to traffic. I have seen multiple groups of OVER 10 people in the same day. A lot of the time they don't even want to let you play through. Very frustrating since I always try to be friendly to others on the course. A lot of the cool signs for the holes are gone or vandalized with marker. Trash and glass seem to build up here fast. After the snow melted there was quite a few broken sleds littering the fairways on the elevated holes.
Other Thoughts: Free parking and free to play. You have to walk past hole 11 to get to nine. After nine and ten go back to the same path up the hill to 11's tees. Holes 13-18 are across the parking lot near the playground. Bring water and bugspray in the summer.....and a hackiesack to pass time waiting to tee off.

Pros:
Hole Variety/Course Layout--
Most people will like this course, all types of shots from short technical to long and open! A couple of the technical holes will be overwellming to typical "Big arms". Cass Benton also has some of the best elevation in southeast, MI!
Course Navigation--
You can print out a map but its easy to follow. It has mostly good signs but a few are covered up.

Cons:
Course Maintenance--
Alot of broken glass and overflowing trash cans, not much maintenance is done at this park.
Traffic--
To me, the course design itself is a 4.0 rating. But the traffic hold ups are so bad here that it makes it a 3.5. There are times where ive been held up at EVERY hole for about 10+ min.
--Very muddy on wet days

Other Thoughts:
Hazards--
Pretty hard to lose a disc but its for sure possible, water in play on 1 or 2 holes. Rough can be thick but not that bad (only bad on a few holes).
Tee Pads--
Normal concrete tee pads, both am and pro tees.

Pros: Cement pads,most holes have pro & am tees some really change the hole,great variety of open & wooded holes some easy birdies and others long and wide open, lots of elevation changes,can start from several holes to avoid waiting,not uncommon to see very good players here like Geoff Bennett and other great discers willing to give tips, league play on mondays around 5 with Pro-Am matchups,bathrooms not too far away, water in play on hole #3 by basket, lots of fun and challenging,
Cons: Usually busy,lots of casual players,vandals have destroyed most of the signs,some pathways littered with broken glass,lack of available parking at times,fall 08 many trees down over paths/fairways not well maintained, for newcomers there is some fairways that are close to each other #17 & #14 and I see a lot of drives from #3 flying at hole # 4 & #5 tee pads so be aware...I saw someone get hit in the head on tee #5 and it was ugly, litter around garbage cans, not uncommon to see people walking across #3 fairway not knowing their on a DGC or not caring,
Other Thoughts: STOP BRINGING GLASS TO CASS!!!
Course is pretty long and usually busy bring water,as of 11/22/08 no baskets have been pulled for sledding

My Favorite
Pros: A wide variety of hole lay-outs and pon placements, lots of elevation changes, not too busy, you get a good workout.
Cons: some trails to the next hole aren't very well marked, really wooded holes at times.
Other Thoughts: I saw a hawk on my last visit there. I love this course, a great way to spend the morning on an autumn day!

Pros: This a great course with many challenging holes, both for accuracy in the woods, and for those times you need to drive the distance. Many holes have pro and am tees that make for a greater challenge. Beautiful setting along scenic Hines Drive.
Cons: This course is the busiest course I have ever played. Very busy at peak times around 5pm, and on weekends. Tons of trees have come down in the woods over the past several years making some of the holes a bit easier and some of the holes a bit harder. Tons of vandalism and tons of trash on course.
Other Thoughts: Best time to play this course is in the early morning. The Pictures of the course make it look much better than what it actually looks like now.
It wouldn't hurt to move #2 basket to the right side of the bushes on the bottom to let some grass grow back on the hillside.

Beautiful
Pros: This course is beautiful, from the first tee through the woods, to a 700+ beast, to a long dog leg at the end. When I first played this, I went from wanting to check out a new course to finding a new love for the game. There is no water except for a small stream on one hole, but the variety of terrane is all you need.
Cons: THe course is trashed with beer caps EVERYWHERE. One rainy days some trails are impossible to walk through.

Challenging but Possible to Score
Pros: This is my home course and still my favorite to date. It has a great mix of wooded and open holes that let you throw all out. Hole 2 (for me) is the most difficult. It is a long open (at first) par 3 but don't be deceived. The basket placement is very tricky. Number three is the most amazing view from the pro tees. Holes 5 and 17 are very forgiving from pro tees, easily can be birdied if you stay out of trouble.
Cons: Honestly, after playing this course over 40 times, the only issue is the crowd it sometimes draws. Someone wanted to fight me last year because he claimed I said something about him. He was drunk out of his mind. But generally people leave you alone. Don't let that keep you away from this amazing and challenging course.
Other Thoughts: This course is also generally very busy in the afternoon and even more so in the evening, especially the weekend. Mornings are usually when I play to avoid crowds. With two people you can usually get in 18 in about an hour and a half with no one in front of you.

course with everything!
Pros: one of the best courses i've ever played. mix of shade/sun, open and woods, elevation and flat. also has good tees and baskets with lots of blind and challenging holes. am tees are great for beginners and pro tees keep the challenges up to improve skills.
friendly people you can join up with to make the game go quicker. plenty of players to help you look for lost discs.
ability to start at hole 1/10 or 13 (at other parking area) if course has big groups. new / used discs for sale by individuals on most days.

Cons: loads of dead, downed and vandalized trees have changed the course and its obstacles. have to climb over a few of them on hole 9. extremely busy course with vandalized picnic tables, signs and trees. alcoholic beverages are NOT ALLOWED, patrolled randomly. large groups slow down the course sometimes.
Other Thoughts: lots of non-golf traffic in this course, dont expect a lost disc to stick around. police stake out hole 6 "party table" a lot... also saw the mounted police arrest someone for marijuana once. sometimes get clueless picnic people who think they can set up camp on hole 5.

Thick woods, long holes
Pros: Dense woods intermixed with wide open, very long holes. Lots of steep hills means good opportunities for practicing uphill and downhill throws.
This course is long, with the white tee of the third hole being over 700 ft. from the basket, and a few other holes being well over 400 ft. Players with big arms will definitely enjoy it.

Cons: Very crowded. Missing signs at multiple holes means you guess at yardage and par. There's a very confusing layout in the middle of the course, around the 9th hole - you may need someone to point out where the next few holes are if you haven't played it before. Thick trees can be frustrating, and several holes require blind throws.

Good Mix
Pros: A good mix of challenges here, some elevation, some open long shots, some technical through the woods, a little bit of water here and there. Nicely designed course in a county park setting. Dual tees on most of the holes add some variety. Good mix of easier and tougher holes.
Cons: Was a bit wet and muddy when I played here, and a concerted effort by the locals to pick up after themselves would help the appearance. Some vandalism on signs here and there.
Other Thoughts: Online map available on website which is very helpful in navigating course.
