Great Year Round Course
Pros: Only course in Madison that is open during most of the winter months. When it snows, the short tee pads are shoveled by the players. There is a random draw doubles Saturday league during the winter months.
There are a wide variety of shots that make this course great. Some long pins are more for RHBH throwers while the short pins are more for LHBH throwers. This does create variety and a whole different shot when the pins are changed. Examples are holes 1, 2, 4, 7, 16.
The long tees are very challenging. On a few holes, the long tees create a whole different shot. Examples are holes 7 and 9.

Cons: Not much wrong here. My biggest issue would be that it is too overcrowded. Madison needs more disc golf courses to help alleviate traffic from Hiestand. Pay to play should also help with overcrowding.
Other Thoughts: Overall, Hiestand is a great course that will be fun for all levels of play. Madison is a great place to be if you are a disc golfer. There are four outstanding courses in the area and more will be on the way soon. The Madison courses are going to be pay-to-play in 2013, but that will only help make the courses better. MADC has done a great job with course maintenance and course upkeep. Thanks for all your hard work!

Cons: yes, it was crowded. we got there in the afternoon, and we were not alone. which is a small price to pay for an awesome free course.
Other Thoughts: 2nd of 9 dg courses played on road trip that week. this was def one of the highlights :)

Great For All
Pros: This course is great fun for all players. Plenty of challenging shots, pro and am tees, signs, great variety of holes. This is my home course and the course that I first ever played on. It's what made me fall in love with the sport. Multiple pin positions make it so you're not playing the same course every time. A great free course with a disc golf pro shop right across the street.
Cons: This course is almost always packed with people. Parking can be quite difficult to find and it's very easy to end up sitting and waiting at a hole. The trees can be a little heavy on the sides at times so for a beginner who doesn't land on the fairway discs can be lost. However they are often found and if you put your number on it most people will call.
Other Thoughts: When I lived back in madison I played this course just about everyday. I never got bored and always had fun. This course got me and many of my friends started. It really is great for everyone beginners to pros.

HIGH on Hiestand 
Pros: Hiestand is my favorite Madison area course to play. If it was maintained as well as Token Creek this would be Madison's signature course. Make it pay to play!
This course has great variety. There are 2 cement tees on every hole but #3. The short tees are very beginner friendly playing at 4,700ft. while the long tees play at 6,450ft. SSA played 52.46 from the long tees during the 2009 Mad City Open. To shoot a 1000 rated round you needed to shoot 52 -2. This course offers a layout for all skill level players.
The course flow is great. It's not hard to navigate. Adequate tee signs.
There is some great elevation. It plays up, down, on, and across a large hill. The design is very good offering every type of shot selection.
There is a good mix of open and wooded holes. The wooded holes are very fair golf shots with some heavy rough to penalize bad shots.

Cons: Erosion and garbage. It's unfortunate the local player base cannot throw their garbage away. It really takes away from the great course they have.
This course gets heavy play. Erosion is an issue in several areas.
Make is pay to play! This will fix these problems.

Make sure to visit Mike and buy a disc at his
Glide Disc Golf Store right across the street. He's a great guy. http://www.glidediscgolf.com
This course is a must play if you are in Madison.

Pros: Wonderful course, nicely wooded and somewhat clear fairways too. Great topography and plenty of trees come into play. Just an overall awesome place to go. The only type of hole I would say it's missing would be one with a water hazard. Yeah I know hole 3, but that RARELY comes into play unless you terribly overshoot an approach or something. Also plenty of places to skip holes if you don't have the time to do a full 18. Just go to it, you wont regret it. Glide being right across the street is great and Mike is just awesome!
Cons: Can get very crowded and sadly people don't always understand how to let people shoot through or break up a group of 6-8 into two groups. It can be confusing sometimes to navigate unless you go there a lot. Sadly many people like to litter even though there's a trash can at EVERY HOLE! I mean if you want it to stay there and stay free please take your beer bottle/can/soda to the next hole, it's not that hard!
Other Thoughts: Sorry about the above littering comment, but it just bothers me when people disrespect nature like that. I personally hate hole 11 thanks to it's eating my first disc ever on my second day out(or hate the person who stole it off the ground, not sure which happened). On hole 11 if your not the greatest at weaving between those bushes and staying on the fairway try a tommy or thumber.(it's what I do)
