Unfortunately, my vacation got bumped to first week of October....
Fortunately, weather looks fantastic for me at start of the week.
I hope to hit a bunch of these courses next week.
Doesn't get much more Wisco!
I don't see any beer.
I've had some very fun times at Dawgwood Ditch. Appears Sundays are their league day. This one has the private vibe.

So did you make it to MKE?

Arrived on Sat night. Played Sandy Knoll, Stoney Creek and Rollin Ridge. We are only getting in one round a day. With the wife and year old lab, rounds are pretty slow. That is OK though, we have simply pulled out some chairs, had lunch and I got to have a couple frosty beers....part of the standard re-hydration protocol.
Sandy Knoll was a wonderful round. The colors in the park were getting going and this course is a quiet, secluded run. A well stocked pro shop with a fire going outside to sit by and have lunch. Had dinner at Mader's, an old German place near the Airbnb. Solid German food and a boot full of Octoberfest.
Played Stony Creek the next day. The wife and I discussed that, courses only get one shot at an impression with traveling players. In addition to this course being a slow starter, we were accosted by two Golden Retrievers for the first two holes. Friendly enough, but with one of them in heat (diaper clad), the other a male and my exuberant pup, it made for an irritating scenario, to say the least. Also had to listen to a group of family members, then spend a hour bellowing for "Willow and Peter". Front nine was kind of bland, but the back nine of this course delivered. No place to picnic at Stony, so we trekked back toward "home" and stopped off at Brown Deer to have lunch and let rush hour settle down. Ate at a real nice, trendy Italian place, called Sorella. Yum.
Got up to Rollin Ridge on Tues. A bit of a drive, but worth it. One of the best disc golf experiences I have had. The golf was very good, the vibe was awesome, the bar was a fantastic addition to any course. We had lunch, several beers and spent a few hours kicking back and enjoying a 70 degree fall afternoon. Accosted by an aggressive Shepard mix while relaxing. Dammit, leash your freaking dogs. SMH. Probably not a top five course, but it could be a top five destination.
Crappy and rainy today, thinking about hitting one of the local MKE courses. Reservations at Mo's Steakhouse tonight.
Trip is going wonderfully. What a great time of year and Wisconsin is a Midwest delight.
The course have been very good, the trip is a blast.
I don't see any beer.
Stoney Creek practice basket. Doesn't get much more Wisco!
This course gets really interesting at hole eight.
