- tight, challenging fairways in moderately wooded setting
- concrete tees, though a bit small
- lots of shot variety
- good variety of hole lengths, just slightly on the short side
- Chainstar baskets are basic but serviceable
- benches and garbage cans in various parts of course
- lots of guarded baskets after more open fairways create cool approach challenges
- cool water carry on hole 8, though there wasn't much water during this drought-laden summer
- course has some natural beauty and the iconic Michigan feel with sandy and pine needle soil
- no real notable safety hazards, area is entirely dedicated to disc golf

- mostly very flat
- rough can be pretty brutal and thorny in places
- many tee signs missing, and the remaining ones are rudimentary
- navigation could use some significant work/aids
- a little rough around the edges on upkeep, though grass was mown well enough
- fairly limited amenities
- bugs are extremely thick
- long walk between 8 and 9 seems a bit excessive

LakeShore is an interesting course to rate. On fun factor and potential, I'm tempted to give it a 3.5, but it's not quite there. The tee signs need improvement and replacement, the rough needs some TLC, and navigation aids are sorely needed. Overall, these few things would really make a big difference.

The course is a bit on the short side, but still a typical length. Semi-wooded holes and more open holes with plenty of obstacles of the shrub variety give this course plenty of technical challenge despite the shorter length. The guarded baskets on many holes are a cool touch and really force a good approach shot, rather than a strong drive - I enjoyed this different challenge.

This is a cool course that I enjoyed playing but just feels rough around the edges with the issues noted. With that said, the area is isolated and all for disc golf, which is great. There are a few long walks but nothing too bad. As others noted, there are 3 openings from the parking lot - left to hole 1, center to the exit from 18, and the far right goes to hole 10. It's very nice how holes 1-9 circle back to the parking lot before the back 9 - it allows you to take a break, or in my case, check on my kid sleeping in the car. Apparently 60 holes the day before was a bit much!

There is ample parking and the course was deserted when I arrived at 7 AM on a Saturday morning. The iconic holes for me were in the middle of the course (7-11 kind of range) where you are playing through tighter woods, throwing over the "pond", and playing through sandy areas. Hole 18 is really the monster on this course, one of only two 400+ ft holes that does a dogleg right and has many obstacles in the fairway. A tough but intense way to finish the course.

If you are playing up and down western Michigan, this is a course worth hitting. Not very polished, but still a lot of fun and good challenge for intermediate players and above.

- Lakeshore Disc Golf Complex (LDGC) provides two nine-hole loops to the parking lot on this disc-centric piece of western MI property. Sandy-soiled from nearby Lake Michigan, with an idyllic fern field, fairways comprised of wild blueberry bushes, and more than enough tasty wooded holes to satisfy all but the most demanding and/or fussy discers. Nothing gets super lengthy, rather the holes focus on precision shots to navigate the at times bushy, at times heavily wooded fairways.
- Amenities are a bit thin. Decent concrete tees, benches, enough signage to eke it out; the baskets are fine enough. Bell to ring after one of the blind holes (I think hole #3 or 4).
- Dips and wrinkles of elevation used well throughout, but nothing major to get one's heart aflutter.
- OB garden tiki on #2, IIRC, just to the right of the basket. A fun touch, that would be even more fun if a sign existed to inform you of it, being blind from the pin and all. Hole #10 has a guardian gargoyle on the steps up to the basket, just past the double mando.
- Several of the holes at LDGC looked and felt sorta like mini Flip City-lite with the sumac, et al., others seemed like some LoZ Lost Woods kinda shizz, even others threatened to devolve into a blueberry picking jaunt, and one or two holes (#'s 6-7) gave off an Ichabod Crane vibe. I dunno, maybe it was the isolation, or the fact I was on my 6th course of the day, but I loved the vibes on this course.
- Good mix of distances, though I think it topped off in the mid-400's.

- Navigation got dicey, specifically after hole #8, with a couple of paths to choose from. I'm usually fairly straight-headed in navigating through courses, woods, etc. I was so turned around here it was a bit alarming, heh. Signs help a bit on front nine but disappear complete on the back. Next tee signs are direly needed. There actually could be a risk here of someone just wandering off into some lost screen never to be seen again.

- A good eye went into designing this course, but a little more work towards signage would help the above average golf on hand here really shine.
- Pulling into the lot you'll see three openings: left, center and right (closest to the road). Left is to Hole #1. Center is the egress to the lot after Hole #18. Right is to Hole #10.
- Edit: after reading other reviewers talk of swamp-like and water conditions, I found the course completely devoid of water, although I could see the "pond spot" on #8, for lack of better term. The course did smell kinda funky but was otherwise dry.

Great use of space and lots of shot style variety. Tons of obstacles which really makes shaping your shorts important.

Rough is ridiculous on almost all of the holes. It is very thick scrubby brush making fairway shots that much more important.

Still needs a lot of work. The course isn't yet a year old so there is still some clearing that could go on.

Tee pads could be much better with rubber, or cement but I have heard that is in the works.

Low land areas throughout the course so when it rains, and in the spring the course holds a lot of water, and the bugs that come with it.

Overall a great course and a perfect replacement for Rycenga Park. Still very new and needs to be broken in more, but having a very technical, yet fun course less than 3 miles from my house is awesome!

Baskets - Nice New baskets.

Park is disc golf only. In some parts it kind of reminded me of being at the beach (sandy dune like areas)

All the holes have set "paths" to find the next hole with some signs and also logs to mark the way.

Tee signs - all have a coffee can for ciggbutts they also have a sharpie drawing that should show how the holes run.

Teepads - natural pads, and the course holds water in some spots which makes for not the best driving.

Tee Signs - They have them, I am marking this as a con, because with better teesign/teepads this course would move up about half a disc.

No Drinking - This is a con and a pro for some, I listed it here, because even thought I am pretty sure you can't drink there because the last course people threw cans all over the place, there were a few still here(reason last spring lake course got pulled)

This place holds water hard. We went after a rain 3 days before and it was still wet.

This place is super fun. A full all around course and an upgrade from what was here (unless you want an easy ace )

This place is very new, and I am sure it will be a lot better within a year or soo, when I played someone was cleaning up the course.

There seemed to be some awkwardly placed bridges throughout the course but it was still a lot of fun and I could see myself coming back here a lot.
