Short Holes, Easy Ace 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 3, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Has alot of short holes that is good for begginers
During I think half of this course there is a camp area which people can relax by, and if not busy could start a small contained fire
Good Design
Lots of cans that can be picked up throughout the park

Cons:

Can get very busy, which can get annoying if you went to disc without waiting.

Other Thoughts:

There are hiding spots in this course which certain "smoking" can be used for.

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Short, tech course, when playing all 4 @ brewer, this one offers a break for your arm, and is mostly shaded on hot days.

Cons:

Often bottlenecked on busy days, a couple perpetually muddy fairways.

Other Thoughts:

Brewer park, best in GR by head and shoulders.

Great course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Perfect distance holes for beginners. Could be possible first ace course** for anyone. Couple of holes are changed up to make it an interesting course to come back to, particularly hole 4 and 6. Wooded coure makes it fun and a challenge.

Cons:

Very busy. Some players may find it to wooded. Pay attention to flying disc from the other courses present.

Other Thoughts:

Brewer Park is a fun day get away, play 4 rounds on 4 different 9 hole courses.

One of the best! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 12, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

GREAT combination of short, medium, and long holes, as well as open fairways, tree clusters, uphill and downhill. Impossible to get lost as a newbie, fun ace runs on #1, #3, #4, #5, #8. and #9. As with all Brewer courses, pads are swept and bottles cleared on a daily basis.

Cons:

Can get muddy in the spring and after a hard rain. As the most popular course at Brewer, can get backed up on tee #1 and #2, but after that mostly clear sailing.

Other Thoughts:

Good scores on blue will be around -3 to -4 as a single, and -5 to -6 with a partner. -9's are possible, but rare.

Best in Grand Rapids 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 25, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

One of four 'color coded' nines at this 36 hole course. The 'Blue' nine is easily the most beginner friendly, and frequently the most crowded. A lot of birdie and ace opportunities, yet the many trees will still add challenge to more advanced players.

Cons:

Some of the holes on this nine come dangerously close to holes on the 'white' course, so look out for errant throws, especially near the 3rd hole.

Other Thoughts:

Been some recent redesign at this course, but Blue seems to be unaffected, with the exception of a new tee pad on the 8th hole.

Nearby disc shop on Division is a nice 'combo stop' if you are in the area, with a nice selection, and friendly staff.
