Cons: - Sort of confusing for a first timer. The next hole doesn't start until after the Pro basket which can sometimes be hundreds of feet further.
- Some of the signs were missing
- No bathrooms

Other Thoughts: Hole 17 is a 100 ft basket surrounded by an island of sand. You must land your disk in that island or else it is out of bounds. I LOVE this concept! Very creative.

Report this Review this is a gem of course
Pros: This course is super, it has elements of Flip City (my favorite) with the some rock landscapings and Hudson Mills (my 1st favorite course) with some "prairie" golf holes while being extremely well mowed. Generally I despise "prairie golf" but it was so well maintained it didn't feel like it.
The park/course is beautiful. The cut grass defined the fairways in a terrific fashion. Moderate elevation and sand traps made this feel like a ball course at times. It's one of the best manicured courses that I have seen including Idlewild.
Two baskets on every hole, the blue (short) was a nice challenge for this Adv Masters player while the yellow (long and extremely) were pro or world class caliber.
Extra long concrete tees.
A few ace runs and some holes over 500 ft from the short tees, nice variety. Nothing too tight on the wooded holes.
Secluded feeling in the park is much appreciated.
#18's long basket area with a rock wall, flowers and a waterfall!
It's now in my top ten out of 275+ courses played!

Cons: Not obvious from the parking lot to find tee #1, after you start it's well marked with plenty of next tee arrows.
The long baskets were EXTREMELY long in places. I thought about playing from the short basket to the long basket several times.

Other Thoughts: I played here after Labor Day and didn't have to pay but am willing to send a donation to this great DG destination.
The baskets and flags do NOT have the hole number on them.
The mando wall on hole #2 made me think "WTF" from the tee but my tomahawk shot cleared it easily.
While playing it I was thinking of rating it a 5 but due to some slight repetition and not enough elevation as my other 5's have, I'd like to give this course 4.75, it's that good!
A 2nd course is also in the same park, you have to see and play #2 down the toboggan run. Do not leave without doing this!

The best in the Lansing Area
Pros: - Great variety in distance
- 4 ways to play every hole mixes it up.
- great mix of open holes and woody narrow holes
- cool features like a 10 foot wall and OB sand traps.
- Very well taken care of
-soon to be another 18 hole course on the property

Cons: - None really that are worth not playing this course, like others said the rough and ob areas can be dangerous, wear pants.
Other Thoughts: just a really fun and difficult course. A lot of love and effort was put into this gem, I will definently be buying a season pass.

Pros: The course is laid out very well. Nicely manicured areas and great landscaping around each hole and down the fairways.
The course is pretty 'open' with only a few holes within trees.
Great signage and pointers to all the tee boxes and pins.
Super friendly staff that drive around and ask for input and how the course is playing for you that day.

Cons: Price - Sure, the course isn't that expensive and the cost goes towards the upkeep of the course itself. Lots of areas to mow, maintain, and such. However, $4 dollars to play for each person + the cost to actually get into the park (which is $3 for Ingham County residents and a bit more for non-residents). $7.00 to play could turn off a few players. But it is still worth it.
Some of the holes are super long, which could be a turn off to a few players. The longest hole (in the long tee to long basket setup) is 1019 feet. Wow.
The tee-pads are different than what I'm used to playing. Only about 2.5-3 feet wide, but 10 feet long. I'm used to maybe 4-5 feet wide and about 7-8 feet long. Not particularly bad, but threw me off at first.
The banner which gives details about the course before the first tee pad is littered with grammatical errors which, of course, doesn't hamper the course at all, but it does look bad as it is missing words, adds too many in (like "into to"), and has numerous misspelled words. Just doesn't look good at all. *I say this knowing that my review here could contain some grammatical mistakes, but I'm going to go out on a limb and state that mine aren't nearly as obvious or 'bad' as the banner at Burchfield.

Other Thoughts: I just moved up to Mason, MI from Columbia, SC and decided to check this course out this past Saturday (9/3/2011). I can honestly say that this is the best course I've ever played.
I haven't played on that many courses, but compared to those courses (most being in SC, but also in NC and one other in MI) this is a great course. Four different ways to play with some pretty iconic holes. That 10 foot wall on hole 2 is pretty daunting and the 18th basket up on the water-feature is just picturesque.
Very well maintained, awesome staff that plays and cares about the course/game as well, and from what I'm used to awesome weather. All this and more combine to make a wonderful course just outside of Lansing, MI

Pros: - great options with long/short pins/tees
- lots of nicely designed holes
- variety of short/long holes
- well marked posts (good map on their website too)
- has not seemed to get backed up when I am there
- only one hole where discs would get lost in water
- they have new tee signs that show the layout for both long and short setups. Great addition!
- there are maps and score cards at the first hole now!

Cons: - some rough looks like it can get very rough
- some pins are pretty well hidden from view for first timers (take a map)
- a couple of long pin to long tee holes are SUPER LONG which takes some fun out of it (so we just play short)

Other Thoughts: I love this course, it's my new favorite. The course if beautiful and well designed. Many of the holes have interesting landscaping and obstacles on them. (like the 10 ft wall!)
I'll be playing here a ton since I live so close...this is a wonderful place with lots of variety. There's also an awesome park all around it with boating, fishing, hiking and a playground. And in the winter you can go sledding/tobogganing too!
** New tee signs are a nice addition, along with the course maps and score cards that they have at the first hole. These show me that they are constantly improving and maintaining this course.
