It was really a joy to play on such a well groomed course. I had just played Rotary North which is an extremely well kept but this course was groomed, to the max. $5 to play and us seniors get a $1 off the price. I'm not sure if this price is for one round or all day? The openness allows you work on your driving skills, maybe experimenting with new discs or different throws. It's also a sweet course to practice your rollers on.

The amenities were ball golf perfect. Great tee signs, Discatchers with the # on the yellow band, and ball washers (Although i usually wait until I get home and shower). You tee off from the regular tees here, unlike other ball courses I've played. The course is already long enough so I played from the Reds (shorts).

Just like all the disc courses on ball courses, there aren't many obstacles in the way, other then the occasional tree

Little chance of losing any plastic here although players could throw into the river on # 7 (right BuzzArmStrong).

Course is mostly flat and open. Not much line shaping needed. Just grip it and rip it.

$5 to play.

Wind today made every putt an adventure. Funny, it didn't affect my drives much at all.

No really creative places for basket placement.

This was my third course (Earl Brewer and Rotary North) played today and all three are mostly wide open, grip it and rip it courses. I was ready to go out and find the most technical course around. Need to get back to some real disc golf.

I did enjoy this course even though it's pretty much flat and wide open. I'm not sure why I enjoyed it so much. Maybe, because of the wonderful grooming. Maybe because it's a pleasant low pressure round with very little rough and no water to deal with. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing Red Arrow, I suggest giving it a chance. You might just really enjoy yourself.

Facility offers golf, disc golf and foot golf, all on the same course.

• Variety: Lacking. Pretty much long and straight off all 9 tees, with a decent range of distances, but absolutely no variation in fairway type. Makes good use of a several trees to influence routes you can take on approaches.
• Elevation: Minimal. I recall 1-2 holes where an approach rolled.
• Challenge: Good for beginning to intermediate players. Players with 400+ ft distance might find it more fun than challenging.
• Equipment: Tees, baskets, signs in wonderful condition. Yellow Innovas are easy to spot in the distance.
• Fun Factor: Surprisingly fun. One of those things that's better than it first appears to be.
• Navigation: Easy - just look for the next golf tee.
• It's a pleasure to play on such a well-groomed course.
• GREAT place to throw rollers. Also great if you like to bomb.
• Clean rest room available where you pay.

• $5 fee for only 9 holes. Seemed like you could easily play a 2nd round without paying again, but I honestly don't know what their official policy is.

• Golfers take more putts than we do, and sharing tees / fairway with them means you have to wait for them to putt out before teeing off on reachable holes, or throwing approach shots.

• If you really get a hold of one on #7, a RHBH shot that gets flippy could cross the bike/walk path and end up in the river... almost happened to me if not for some tree love.

It doesn't make sense from my bullet points, and I can't completely explain it, but I had a blast here, and was genuinely disappointed when my round came to an end.

Most players will find the distances more than adequate, but those who can consistently hit 400 - 450 on open ground will likely find this course too easy.

The only difference between the DG course and the golf course is the pin placements. We thought we'd have to wait for golfers, but a couple of them offered to let us play through... didn't even have to ask.
Conveniently located at the edge of downtown Kalamazoo, right next to the Kalamazoo River.
