- Plenty of parking available.
- A decent mix of open shots and use of the woods & surrounding trees.
- Beginner Friendly

- Gets EXTREMELY buggy during the summer.
- Not a whole lot of elevation.
- Not much distance required for the bigger arms.

Hatten Stadium Park is overall a decent course. More ideal to play in the Fall or Winter because once the bugs start hatching, good luck! Can be a nice course to bring the family or friends out for a fun round!

Unless you're willing to travel to the Fox Valley or Stevens Point, this is the best course in the general vicinity. It has a nice mix of tight wooded holes, fairly open holes, as well as some that require shot-shaping to get past mature trees in the more open areas. Concrete tees are older but still have plenty of grip. The course is fairly self-explanatory from a navigation standpoint. Course gets played but is not overly busy. It is open year round which can be nice but see the cons section regarding wet areas.

Course holds water so even in the summer it can be wet after a rain. The road can come into play as well as the tennis courts if a throw is errant. Mosquitoes can be beyond brutal in the summer months so deet is recommended versus natural repellents. The course lacks any major elevation changes so for the most part it is flat.

The course has an older feel to it, not that it affects playability. Overall it is a solid course that is probably the best option in the general area.

This course is in a multi-use park that also has some soccer fields, baseball fields, and numerous running and walking trails. I didn't realize just how big the park was until I finished the round... it's really big!

The course itself is on the shorter side, but still long enough for noodle arms like me to rip it as hard as we can. Most of the baskets seem to be in the 250-300 foot range... some smaller and a few longer. The front 9 have more a true disc golf course feel than the back 9.

Hole 1 is located between the parking area and the adjacent street. It took me a little while to find it, but once I did I was in good shape. There was a practice basket near the first tee as well.

The flow of the course is pretty easy to follow. It gets somewhat busy in the 12-16 range. A couple of the holes (I think it was 12 and 16) share tee pads or at least appear to. 16 was missing it's tee sign so I couldn't really tell.

The front 9 is definitely longer than the back 9. The course takes you from the open grass to a few tight tunnel wooded shots. Many of the holes have generous fairways though so if you can hit your line you should be in good shape. Hole 11 was the monster. It airs out across the biggest field I could see in the park. Many of the trees create a nice ceiling to keep your disc under along the way too.

The park was clean and in good shape. Grass was cut and the concrete pads were in good shape as well. There were a number of school-age runners weaving their way through the park while I was playing. They weren't much of a distraction and didn't seem at all concerned about me doing my thing as well.

Pros -

- Concrete pads
- Course map near hole 1
- Some holes have multiple tee pads
- Practice basket
- Restrooms on site
- Variety of wooded and open shots
- Low ceiling from trees on some holes
- Baskets in good shape
- Tee pads in good shape
- Nice layout and good use of shared park space

There wasn't much complexity here. Most holes were pretty simple to navigate unless you crack a tree off the tee. Many were reachable from the tee pad.

The main road was pretty close to holes 1 and 2. Many cars were parked on the side of the road closest to the course so I could see how a crazy grip lock or maybe unlucky tree hit could strike one of them.

Some of the baskets were hard to find or confusing by being in close proximity with other baskets. The tee signs did not seem very accurate for distances. Some seemed short, others quite longer. Hole 16 was missing a tee sign altogether.

Bring your map with you because you'll need it to find the tee pad of some of the holes along the way.

All in all this is a good course. Like someone else said in another review, I wouldn't mind having this course near me to practice on. I imagine if you're an advanced player that this may be too short for you to enjoy, but for recreational players like myself... it was fun! The combination of the wooded holes and the wide open shots forced me to use a few different shots. The last 5 or 6 holes though were pretty standard 250 foot holes.

If you're in the area, give this course a run!

18 hole course that winds through Hatten Park in New London, WI.

DGA baskets, all in good repair and caught well. Most holes seemed to have one pin position, but a few had two, namely the wooded holes in the middle of the course.

Concrete tee pads, which were all in good repair. They were a touch short for my taste, and I don't have a large run up. Also, there seemed to be a few randomly placed tee pads, which weren't marked on any signs.

Nice signs, with distance, hole number, and intended route. Navigation was pretty simple, and playing solo, I pretty much breezed through the course. Well laid out and designed in this regard.

Lots of mature hardwood trees provide most of the obstacles here. A few tunnels shots in the woods were nice. Also, the first two three holes were pretty fun, with a touch of distance and tighter lines.

This isn't the toughest course around. After the first three holes, (save for one hole) most everything is pretty short, in the 180-230 range. You could easily run about 13-14 holes on this course with a putter/mid. Even with all the big trees, many of the holes are pretty open, with minimal shot shaping required.

There's some safety concerns here, especially at the beginning of the course. The first three holes play somewhat near a reasonably busy road. Granted, you'd have to miss pretty badly to put it over there, but it's a concern. Also, hole 4 plays right along the tennis courts, and is a straight 300' shot. To be fair, I was there on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and nobody was in those courts.

While I liked the wooded holes in the middle, they were all basically the same shot. Straight, in the 200-240 range. Cool holes, but a bit repetitive when grouped together.

Not really any elevation or water, but there is just enough roll in the terrain to not make it feel uber flat.

Don't take my cons to mean I didn't like this course. While it's not tough, it's still fun. At the end of a 6 course bagging day, it was nice to have a course that wasn't a beat down. Beginners will love it here because they'll score reasonably well, and other players will enjoy lots of ace runs and mid/putter throws. This is also an excellent spot for groups to play.

While I wouldn't go out of my way to play it again, if it was local to me, I'd probably play it a decent amount. It's a nice course in a nice park.

1) great design with good mix of left, right, and straight holes, excellent pin placements on all of the holes, and pretty good variation of distances (168ft-385ft) with most holes in the 200-300ft range
2) concrete tee pads, even though they are quite small
3) great place to take beginners or lesser skilled players
4) uses the woods on holes 6-9 to make some tough tunnel shots
5) EXTREMELY easy to navigate as a first timer, didn't get confused a single time
6) nice baskets and tee signs on every hole
7) clean and well kept up course
8) big map by the first tee and, even though it was empty, a box to pick up a scorecard before you start your round

1) like I said before, short tee pads...all though there's only two holes that they were to short for me
2) hole 17 plays over a small street in the park, could cause a safety issue if you don't look before you throw
3) holes 12 and 16 share tee pads, not a big deal but on a busy day it could slow you down
4) not tons of distance on the course, only used a driver on two holes, but the great design really makes up for this
5) not really any elevation to speak of, except for a little on holes 4 and 5, but again the design makes up for this

I was pleasantly surprised by this course, I didn't expect much out of it. Wish I lived closer to this course so I could play it more often, such a fun course to play

-Well kept park, in a nice negiborhood
-mowed often.
-Challenging holes that play left to right and right to left
-Great for working on your short game.
-Great place to bring new players.
-Open all year round

-Short! most holes require nothing more than a mid or a putter
-Can get crowded in the late afternoon
-Thick brush on holes 6,7,8 and 9

Bring bug spray if your going to be playing at night, holes 6,7,8, and 9 are in heavy woods.

Playing here every day could get boring, but its a great course to play a few times a week.

Fun, and challenging course, not the longest holes, but you will still have a good time playing.

Disc Headz Club is taking over the course! If you have played this course before, come back and give it another shot! we are improving the course, and working on adding holes. Give us your thoughts on what the course needs. We plan on making this a 5 disc rated course, so give us your input.

The Park and Rec. has provided us with a great course. We plan on making it an awesome course!

Any tournaments (July 24th, 2010 - October 16th, 2010) we hold at Hatten the proceeds go back to the park for improvement, so the more people we can have show up at tournaments the more we can improve this course.

Good variety of shots make this course fun. Easy to navigate and one of the better maintained courses in the area. Easy to find any discs you may miss your target with.

Very short course. Some shots are just too open to provide a challenge to experienced players.

Would play again if in the area. But not worth any travel to play.

Absolutely outstanding park with lots of woods. Good hole placement with tight shots around and between trees. Very good use of obstacles. Easy to find your disc in the woods with little vegetation on the ground. EXTREMELY easy to navigate. Very well maintained.

Many of the holes are very similar; 230 or less feet with some trees here and there. I would say that applies to 12 of the 18 holes, but that is just a rough estimate. It seems like this might be a begginer course with all those short shots and only 3 or 4 holes being over 300 feet.

This is just an outstanding park to be in. It is so nice. With all the extra room they have I am sure they could put longer alternate tees for each hole. That is the only improvement I would make. Alltogether Hatten park course is a really great course for its relatively remote location.
