Deadwood Disc Golf reviews

Wonderfully wooded forest course 2+ years

Played on:Aug 20, 2020
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
This is one of the few courses I've played that is in the woods front-to-back, all 18 baskets. Pristine, very technical, with tight lines and a ton of trees make nearly every shot challenging. There are two tees on most holes and they generally make the approach significantly different. Props to the course designer bc every hole felt unique.
The signage here is sturdy and detailed, with plenty of seating and a trash can at every hole. There are several short ace run shots. Very little chance to lose plastic except for on hole 16- the rough is a bit overgrown.

Cons:
Even though every hole is solid, my biggest gripe with Deadwood is it lacks a true signature hole. A couple come close, namely 18, but I would argue that none are truly elite compared to the rest.
A course map would be appreciated, although navigation was incredibly straightforward.

Other Thoughts:
Deadwood was an absolute blast to play. If I could make a single improvement, it would be adding some longer holes- I like a par 5 or two sprinkled in for that satisfying eagle opportunity.
The short tees are forgiving enough for amateurs to still have a good time while the longs add a decent amount of difficulty for more experienced players. If you're into technical, shorter holes, this course is totally worth the trip.

Played the course:once
Pros:
Lots of elevation change. Good layout. Some time ,effort, and $ put into this course and it shows. Will only get better as gets broken in little more.
Cons:
Bugs...its Michigan summer though so what you expect
Other Thoughts:
Like the rough finish on pads. Nice signs. The rough is pretty rough in places but will get better with more action on it.

Pros:
Lots of trees but well defined fairways reward well placed shots
Short tee holes seem shorter than most courses but I think that was a good design choice so as to not discourage new disc golfers
Good use of elevation to add extra challenge
Variety of shots needed to score well on this course

Cons:
Some of the elevation changes are very steep making it difficult to traverse
No bugs today but being wooded near water there could be days where the bugs are nasty

Other Thoughts:
I really like this course! The course designers did a good job making the short tees fun for more experienced players but not too punishing for newer players. The property the course is on also includes a modern campground on Cade lake so that is also a bonus!
