Pros:
Ideal setting for summer disc golf. The great summers of the peninsula make for very pleasant summer playing conditions.
The course sits just outside of town. The feel of a rural area but with the necessary necessities from nearby Calumet.
-A good mix of northern tree species make for aesthetically pleasing tree lined fairways.
-Open front half allows you to loosen up a bit before the course becomes tighter.
-Utilizes the lay of the land and baskets are positioned
well for challenging woods golf.
-Solid course layout/design in a remote area of the U.S.
My rating is actually, a high 3, closer to 3.9. But the rating is in .5 increments.

Cons:
Some holes could be designed to force a player to throw drive, approach, approach, put type golf.
Most of the holes are pitch and putt style, though challenging because the fairways are snug.
Course designer was unable to utilize the lake, which would have put this in the 4 plus rating category.

Other Thoughts:
What a sigh of relief to play a solid course in an area that is relatively new to the dg scene.
Course designer, who also acts as a guide for the course has put a lot of work and passion into this land.
I could easliy see the Keweenah peninsula having an upper tiered course(s) one day. It would compliment this one very well and make for a great dg tourney set up. Plenty of camping and sightseeing in this area really sets this course apart from others in the U.S.
