Other Thoughts: There are some areas that seem like they would be very wet had it rained recently. It played well but had kind of a generic feel to it.

Report this Review Brewer Park
Pros: 1) A great place to work on long distance driving.
2) The fairways are nicely mowed, which makes them unmistakable and presents a clear path to the basket.
3) There are a few shots that go through wooded areas, but for the most part, the majority of the holes are in open areas, which can be nice for beginners.
4) I liked the tees on this course. Mostly because they are concrete and the signage for the hole was carved into wood plaques.

Cons: 1) The grass off the fairways was tall when I played there. Sometimes the wind caught my discs and sent them off to who knows where. Spent some time looking among the grass for my drivers, which reminded me of looking for my baseballs in cow fields as a kid.
2) The signage could have been a little better when determining where the next hole is located.
3) Someone spent their time stapling business cards to the wooden signs on some of the tees. Really? Don't treat the signage as your personal billboard.
4) Found it annoying when kids would come up to me and the guys I was with trying to sell us discs they had picked up off the course.

Other Thoughts: Overall I really liked this course. I wouldn't hesitate going back again. Check it out. You'll most likely enjoy yourself.

Let em fly!
Pros: Wide open for the most part (so long as the rough is cleared), many places you can unlease big drives, but with some shorter more technical holes.
Cons: Many places to lose a disc, overcrowded at times, too long for a novice to have fun with.
Other Thoughts: I prefer this side to the North course.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Pros: They have tee pads, some of them are a little broken from the move but they are tee pads none the less.
Variety of shots. They have elevation, a few short holes, some log bombs. They have some blind shots, and a few hidden baskets (making a few of the old red/gold holes a little bit longer).
Challenge. This one is a little bit harder then the North side, and as being broken up from Red and Gold it has a good amount of long shots, with some nice buffer(short holes) in between.

Cons: NoSigns. This is less of a con here then North side as this one is a little easier to find your way through then the other one.
Old Baskets. They are nice because they have baskets, but these are old and rusty and very hurtful. I think I have missed more putts in the basket at Brewer then any other place.

Other Thoughts: Honestly I liked this part a lot better then the North side. I have heard that they added some signs in, but I am unable to confirm this myself. I honestly think brewer made a step forward with these new courses.
Hopefully, if they haven't already, they get some signs and this will improve Grand Rapids area Disc Golf.

Pros: Most of Brewer Park South is located on the hillside outside of the North course. This one offers grassy fairways with weeds in the rough that can grow quite tall in the summer, and there are also some trees scattered throughout the area that come into play on some of the holes. For the most part, this offers a decent variety of layouts. A few holes are located next to wooded areas, and one is located entirely in the woods. The length of the holes kind of varies, there are some blind tee shots, and the elevation comes into play every now and then.
Cons: A lot of these holes have few or no obstacles to worry about, which makes it too easy to get low scores on them. Unfortunately, this course is still using some of the same old, rusty baskets and also some of the same cracked and chipped up tee boxes that the former courses in this park used. You would think they would've replaced those with brand new ones when they made renovations to what is a hugely hugely popular disc golf course. It's not always clear which hole you're supposed to play next or where the next tee box is located. Also, some of the holes flood easily, and there's no way to walk around the marshy ground. You have no choice but to walk right through it.
Other Thoughts: Overall, I think this is a decent course, but it seems more beginner-friendly because of the lack of obstacles. There is a decent variety of layouts, but most of the holes are pretty wide open. Some people might not like that, because it makes the course a lot easier, especially for advanced players, to get a low score.

New South Park
Pros: - They took the old Blue, White, Gold and Red courses, all 9 holes and made it two 18 holed courses.
- Good challenges, a few changes
- Still have good cement pads
- More mandos, right off the bat
- Good distances, some challenges with hyzer and anhyzer shots
- Posts more or less describe where basket is, but you will have to play once or twice to get the feel of the course set up
- More or less, if you have played Brewer before the change, its basically the same except a few changes, better long distances and a good twist or two.
- A lot of blind shots make it a little more tricky... and fun!

Cons: - Mud right now, makes for walking around a pain in the butt
- Course is confusing, but you'll eventually get used to it
- Make sure you watch your discs, as it was before, players will steal discs... shame
- Chains seem to have gotten worse and some will not even catch the disc. Also, the baskets are kind of short, so make good putts
- Some posts are in yet, so it will be tricky figuring out the course set up. I can't even begin to tell you the path I took, I will have to wait till they get more done before then.
- Grass is mowed now, but I predict that when it gets warmer, it will grow and become annoying to find discs and such

Other Thoughts: - North I believe is the top course, when you enter. South would be where red and white... I believe... were.
- Bathrooms, no alcohol, good parking. I believe we can't park up close till May
- At the moment, just park in normal area, then walk up the road past the gate to the course. South is facing the way back towards the main parking lot, but the first tee is near North, sort of were I believe White's tee was.

New Layout
2-4 5/21/2012 4/8/2012
Review By: rshrevo Played: 35 Reviewed: 31 Exp: 17 Years
This review was updated on 5/21/2012
Pros: New concrete pads on holes 5, 10. alt 6 and alt 16. They did a nice job piecing the old slabs of concrete from the old layout into the new pads for the current layout. Good mixture of shots needed to navigate course. A lot more challenging then the previous layout. Good use of the open areas, trees, and the wooded section on the south side of the park. Some holes will make you think of how you want to approach the basket. New tee signs for most of the holes are now in place. only holes with out new tee signs are hole 5, 10, the tee signs for 17 and 18 right now are the old gold 3 and gold 4.
Cons: blind basket locations can be a problem going from basket 8 to tee of 9 might be a small problem if you didn't notice the the 9th tee pad was right near 7th tee pad. you might end up walking to the 14th tee by accident. but that is a minor problem. some of the baskets are in hidden locations so if its your first time you may need to scout ahead a little bit in order to find where it is.
Other Thoughts: They have already changed the tee location for hole 5 again. played Friday the tee was in one location played again on Sunday and the concrete pad had been removed and a rubber mat was put in a new place now its a concrete pad. Although i didn't like the old location since you had to pretty much walk back down the fairway of 4 in order to get to the tee of 5. you also had to be carefull of people driving on 4 while you were on the tee of 5.
Hole 1 is pretty much straight ahead but just over the crest of the hill.
Hole 2 is a downhill shot to a somewhat protected basket in the trees.
Hole 3 is a nice lengthy hole with woods down the entire right side of the fairway and a narrow gap to drive through because of the cluster of trees on the left side of the fairway just off the tee.
Hole 4 comes straight back nice chance to get a birdie here or at least a par.
Hole 5 the new tee is now located by the two big trees. the big branches sticking out can easily take down any wayward drive.
Hole 6 is one of the two longest holes on the course over 500 feet up the hill and pretty much down the other side.
Hole 7 is almost the same as the old red hole 2 just shooting from a different tee location to the same basket location as before.
Hole 8 is pretty much straight out with the basket slightly over the top of the hill. basket can be hard to see at times because of the rusty color.
Hole 9 a let it fly downhill drive to a very protected basket that is placed in behind two pine trees at the very edge of the woods.
Hole 10 the first all wooded hole on this course. a short little hole with a little left to right to left fairway to a basket protected by a circle of trees.
Hole 11 a short little anhyzer shot from just outside the tree line to a basket just tucked inside the tree line. blind tee shot here.
Hole 12 another short little par 3 shooting to a basket tucked just behind the pine tree.
Hole 13 A straight shot but one that will make you think about your line to the basket due to all the small trees that could interfere with your line.
Hole 14 is a short little par 3 good chance for birdie here if you can throw straight. the trees near the hole make for a narrow tunnel like shot.
Hole 15 is a blind tee shot with the bush in front of you and the basket by the road near the parking lot. be careful if driving directly over the bush due the fact the the 16 tee is directly on the other side. you may want a spotter on this hole since in a strong wind it may blow your disc way off course and over the driveway.
Hole 16 is the other long hole on this course. You will more then likely need two long drives on this hole to reach the pin that is tucked about 75 feet into the woods.
Hole 17 is the same as the old gold hole 3.
Hole 18 is the same as the old gold hole 4.
overall i enjoyed the challenge i may not shoot well on it but it is a course that will make you work on every shot in order to score well.

Pros: Teepads-nice concrete (all but one) It's obvious that many of these tees have been moved from the old layouts to mak the new but these ones didn't have the unevenness that the ones on the norf side did
Challenge-These holes are very reminiscent of the old Red and Gold Layouts that they replace. The lines are long and cross hills and fields without much obstacle most times. The addition of the wooded pins and the one "woods" hole are kind of nice.
Variety- there are wide open shots, hills, elevation, hidden pins and blind shots... oh and a short woods hole.

Cons: Baskets--plusses and minuses here. There are some seriously old baskets at this course and there are a couple newer ones. they all catch reasonably but some of the actual baskets are super shallow and some of the chains are mega rusty.
Teesigns--- all of them aren't in yet. I will add score and update review when they are.
Routing--tricky. because all of the teesigns aren't in, routing can be daunting at times. #15 (I think) is a long 558' hole that is followed by two 300+' holes. routing at the top of the hill where 7 and 9 throw from is a bit tricky as the signage isn't all that good. a streetsign type thing would be nice :)

Other Thoughts: Heres to hoping the new layouts (which are far more challenging) keep the huckers away. Brewer Park has definitely matured, lets hope the peeps who frequent it do as well...
