I feel I have to post this with all the talk surrounding the Highbridge Hills Dsic Golf megaplex. While yes, it is WAY up in the Northwoods in the middle of nowehere, it IS the best single disc golf venue you will ever play!!!!!!!
You can feel confident planning your extended weekend, or long voyage to go up there to play. It is worth every minute you sit in the broke down old car you take to get there. Maybe, by the time you plan your trip the Whitetail Run course will be installed, and The Bear will finally be completed. Here is a rundown of the courses at teh complex and how they offer such amazing compliment to each other.
Blueberry Hill - THE disc golf course of this complex. Moderate Length, great balance of open rippers and tight woods, huge elevation. The best, most balanced, varied, and technically sound course here.
Gold - Huge length, more open than wooded but still some tight woods, huge elevation. The one that will test your endurance, strength, and accuracy. This is Championship caliber and well balanced.
Granite Ridge - Length between Blueberry and Gold, much more open than wooded, huge elevation. Offers excellent use of the same type of property Blueberry is on, but lets you air it out, using elevation to it's fullest and not as many woods.
Woodland Greens - Short, almost completely wooded and technical, moderate to little elevation. Great break from the length and pounding summer sun. Nice and technical requiring extreme accuracy.
The Bear - (Only 7 holes now, PRAY for 18!), Huge length, entirely wooded and technical, moderate to large elevation. Will be the most awesome comliment to everything at Highbridge. Almost as long as gold, as wooded as Woodland Greens, and with water hazards, elevated tees and terraced greens, this one when finished will be an absolute work of art!
Chestnut Grove - an all night long, lighted 18 hole practice course right next to the campground. Great 2am beer induced disc round.
AND, my point for making this post is to bring to everyone's attention yet another reason to head up to the Northwoods - Sandy Point Disc Golf Resort!! About an hour slightly south and east of Highbridge lies Sandy Point off Highway 70 in Lac du Flambeau. This is an immaculate 24 hole course that has moderate length, almost completely under a gorgeous wooded canopy, and offering excellent use of the moderate elevation. All on a private resort founded by a couple disc golf fanatics. So, if anyone is travelling from the east or south of NOWHERE, WI, make sure to take I-39/US-51 north up into Minocqua and then Highway 70 across to your Highbridge desitnation off WI-13. You will be able to hit up Sandy Point on your way to or from and you will love that experience as well. I'd suggest leaving it for your return trip as your arm may be jell-o after playing all Highbridge courses 2-4 times over the weekend.
