Mile Bluff DGC is a pretty solid little 6 hole course only a few minutes off of the expressway. The terrain here is pretty unusual for central WI. The basket placement for 3 and walk to hole 4 seem more like something you'd see in the mountains.

The flow of the course is pretty simple. It's a tiny little park so even without a map you'll be able to figure things out easily. Starts and ends by the small gravel parking lot. Great option if you passing through from the twin cities to Madison to get out a stretch your legs for a bit.

The baskets are Innova Discatchers. These are around a decade old now, but all in still in solid physical condition and catch just fine. The yellow top bands are faded quite a bit but still stand out nicely compared to other all silver models. One basket and pin placement per hole.

There's tee posts by all the holes, except 2 which was missing. These help with locating the tee areas.

There's a surprising amount of elevation for this little 6 holer. Every hole also has some trees to contend with. Not a single completely wide open hole on the course. Honestly it's just a really well designed course for the limited amount of space available. I'm glad they just kept it to 6 interesting holes instead of trying to cram 9 inferior holes in instead.

Free to play and shouldn't take more than a half hour for most players reading this.

It's been a few years, probably at least five, since I last played here. It's kinda sad to see the shape this course is in compared to when I first played it. There doesn't appear to be much work being put into it anymore. This was one of the better under 9 hole courses I've played. It still is, just doesn't get the love it used to. It was hit by a pretty substantial storm that did a bunch of damage in 2022 and it has suffered from that for sure.

The baskets all catch great but a few, most notably hole 1, are leaning a bit.

There was a huge tree that fell down on hole 3. Not sure when this happened but it really screwed up the way hole 3 played today. Even if in prime conditions, there's tons of thorn bushes off the fairway. Way worse in the summer but they're still thorns in the winter too, just less of them.

Hole 6 is kind of weird. Not a big fan of that one. It's borderline horseshoe shaped and is pretty lackluster as a finishing hole. I get it though, they ran out of room by that point though it seems.

The tee signs are all gone. There wasn't a single on out there in early February. Not a huge deal, but again, not as polished as the first couple times I've played this one.

This course is still well worth a play if you find yourself nearby, even with all the cons I listed. It used to be such a little hidden gem of a course. The actual play is still pretty good, just not as good as it used to be. But that basically describes my game too. What a drag it is getting old.
