My family stayed at the Justin Trails B&B for a few days in August 2019. We stayed in one of the farmhouse rooms. Beautiful property, great facilities, all you could ever ask for in amenities. Life doesn't get much better than waking up, eating a gourmet breakfast, and playing a round on a well manicured and maintained course. The owners are lovely people.

-Practice basket by the clubhouse
-Helpful map provided at clubhouse
-Loner discs available.
-Good culture of returning lost discs
-Nice concrete Teepads
-Open mowed fairways. Course needs to be mowed constantly, and it is.
-Elevation present and used. Uphill shots, downhill shots, valley shots.
-Tee signs exist. There are some next tee signs where applicable.
-2 sets of tees is always a plus. Reds are great for new players. I mostly played whites and was happy. Pins are reachable from both tees for experienced players.

-Some of the rough is terribly rough. I got all torn up trying to retrieve a throwing putter on 18. Only went about 50 feet deep of the basket and my disc was nearly impossible to get. Blackberry bushes, stinging nettle, and other thick thorny bushes were all tangled up together only about 10 feet deep of the pin. It's also a downhill blind shot, so going deep into the junk is very easy. I know that the course owners let the goats eats the mess back there sometimes. It's likely a constant battle to keep the tangly mess in the rough under control. Large property is hard to maintain, so it's understandable that not every patch of rough is under control at any given time. BUT being a pay to play course, I'm willing to hold Justin Trails to a higher standard on maintenance. Overall, they do a very good job maintaining the large property, especially the fairways. The rough is tougher to keep up with. It is worth noting that I was there in August: Peak overgrowth season. They did host a tournament a few weeks after my visit, so I imagine a lot of it was cleaned up for their big annual event.

-The Classic Course does not have a ton of distance. No par 4's or 5's. Only one hole over 400.

-Tee signs could be more clear. I heard them talking about new tee signs. They may be in by the time I've gotten around to writing my review.

-The 2 courses on the property are mostly separate, but the first time I played the classic course I accidentally ended up on Big Brother at about hole 12. Definitely user error, but I could see others making the same mistake.

-You can kind of tell the course was designed in 1998 based on the hole distances. That being said, this course is SUPER FUN. Maybe my favorite par 54 course.

-If playing in the morning, prepare for the grass to be dewy and wet.

It has elevation, side slopes, a drop shot over a pond, open and wooded holes, in general a fun mix but still friendly to newer players too.

Can't think of any unless all you want to do is throw long. The rough has really been cleaned up other than blackberries on one hole that they pick for canning in the fall.

This is just a plain fun all around course that is a great warm up to play their Big Brother course or a as a stand alone round since it offers you a little bit of everything. It is also fun to play glow rounds on this course. On site camping with free firewood and hot showers and a second more challenging course on the property make it a fun place to stay. If you aren't into roughing it they are also a Bed and Breakfast.

I've played maybe a dozen courses in Wisconsin. My home course is Estabrook in Milwaukee. This is the best. This course is groomed (they planted hostas at the base of some of the baskets) and the pictures (I didn't take any) do NOT do it justice. A few of the baskets are down parts of a Cross Country trail which is maintained even in June. Directions (once you find the first tee) are clear and accurate (everyone says this) including the "mando" signs to keep you honest. Water and wind are the obstacles other than the layout which is extreme, and extremely well thought out.
Have spotters, on a couple of the narrower fairways.

Not near anything . . . . closest town is Sparta.
Where long pants as the rough in the woods is a tough go (raspberries and nettles) . . . . just don't go there.

Go out of your way to play this one . . . . .
The "resort" rests on an ancient farm, now fully rennovated and beautiful . . . . the people there are very very nice and there is a great bar two miles away.
We only played the "classic" course . . . twice . . . . there is a second course which is, I hear, a real challenge, not for the feint of heart.

Well maintained, multiple pin placements, and definitely beginner friendly! This course has a decent mix of open and wooded holes with amazing views of the valley.

Some of the wooded holes have fairly rough roughs but other than that, the only thing I would change is the details of the hole signs. They are good enough, but could be better on both courses on the property.

This course is good to play year around, but in the winter it is best to play Big Brother as a majority of the Classic fairways are groomed for cross country skiing.

Excellent variety of hills, close in wooded fairways, and open power shots. ( a novice myself, but still fun to just let the disc rip) Family owned and operated (Extremely nice people) and they take alot of time and pride in both of their courses. Very quiet countryside with no traffic. oh and Lama's, a new standard for every disc golf course.

Have you ever seen the picture of "the impossible stairs" keeps going up without raising elevation? LOL, somehow this course seems to accomplish that.. Maybe it was the rum and beer..

I believe they have an Open Tournament in Sep. I strongly recommend checking it out, you wont be sorry... Unless you find yourself fishing a disc out of the pond.

I think this is one of the greatest courses here in the La Crosse Area. This course will challenge you on all levels.

Holes are very well designed, which make for some interesting shots, through the trees and especially over water (hole 11 I think).

Amazing views and rolling hills. Just a beautiful place to play!

WIND!
Since it's located in a valley, it's terribly windy. Both times I've played there it's always a huge factor in how my scorecard turns out and how I throw a disc.

This is definitely not a beginner course!!!

Took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to play alone.

Lots of hiking involved.

Has a nice shop providing scorecard/maps. Food and refreshments. They have discs for purchase and even loaner discs to borrow.

Also has hiking and XC trails here throughout the farms property.

Beautiful views on many of the holes. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. No matter where you are on the course it's quiet and peaceful without a large number of people playing so that you have to wait. Whether you like wide open holes, trees, or water hazards this course has all three.

The tree holes can be a little difficult because the throwing lane isn't very big. If the wind is blowing hard it's a lot easier to lose your disc on the pond hole.

This is one of those courses that you should play. Once you play this and Big Brother they will probably be among your favorite courses to play.
