Pros: -Nice variety of shots/elevation changes
-Beautiful view of Lake Superior
Cons: -No signage
-It was very hard to know where the course started and where the next tee box was at
-Very overgrown in different places
Other Thoughts: With some signage this course has the potential to be a very nice course.

Pros:
-Very challenging to beginner/intermediate players.
-Unique basket placement throughout course.
Cons:
-There is not really a course layout, only a poster pinned to a board.
-No par signs by the tees.
-Rarely groomed/ut grass.
-Very likely to lose a disc each time you play.
Other Thoughts:
This course has to be, sadly, one of the worst courses I have played. Although I do not like it, I try to play it as much as I can because I tell myself I will get better since it's a challenging course.

The walk ways down to the first hole are supported my random 2x4 pieces of wood, and the tees on every hole are poorly constructed.

I do not recommend playing this course without scanning it a few times before tee-ing off.

A lot of college kids like to come and play/drink and do what they do blah blah blah. There is a high amount of garbage throughout the course, and a very smelly "pond" in between hole 6 and 7.

I personally think hole 2, 3, and 4 are the most typical wholes you would see throughout DGC's, but they are nothing special.

Anyways, be careful as you throw your discs and you may have to have a spoter throughout playing the entire course. TRY to have fun, which is hard to do on this course.

Pros: --Challenging course, especially the greens on holes 1-3, 5-6 and 9
--Good variety in wooded/open holes (hole 1 is wooded, holes 2-3, 5, 8-9 are half wooded/half open, and holes 4, 6-7 are open)
--Great variety in elevation (all holes except 7 deal with at least some elevation)
--Course map at beginning (I strongly recommend taking a picture of the course map before you play for the first time so you can have a "map" with you on a camera/phone since the course can get confusing in places. Our group did this and it helped a lot, otherwise we would have been lost)
Cons: --Par is unknown/not given at entrance
--Uneven, sandy tees (in fact, on holes 3 and 7 I don't even use the tee at all because it's so uneven)
--Sewage smell on holes 6 and 7
--Holes 6 and 7 are played on the same fairway (6 throws towards the tee of 7 while 7 throws towards the tee of 6, creating interference if two groups are playing on these two holes)
--The fairways on holes 8 and 9, as well as parts of 4 and 5, are not mowed but have long grass. The group in front of us (as well as other groups that we saw later) had to spend a lot of time looking for discs.
--The tee placement for hole 5 is confusing. There is the old one (I think it's the old one) that is close to the basket of hole 4, while the actual one for hole 5 is farther away, back up the north side of the fairway of hole 4, next to the road)
Other Thoughts: I have only been to the new layout, so I can't speak about how good the improvement is. It is a decent course, but my major problem is the lack of neatly cut "fairways" on all the holes. I would recommend taking turns scouting ahead to watch where everyone's discs land, especially on holes 3-5, 6-8 and most certainly 9.
