Pros:
Northwoods Wisco, Baby!!!
Rookery Run plays on around two Rolling Ridges with Sandy Stoney Ground, and a great mix of Pine Oak & Aspen Woods
Duster Don Hoffman Design out at Rookery Run is pretty ideal, for this Recreational Space in this area of Wisco. Fun course, with numerous challenges in consideration
One Basket position, and two Tees per Hole. TeeSign only at Long Tee most of the time, currently. Signage by each Basket directing you to the next Hole, so navigating is no issue
Plenty of good Basket positions:
1 12 13 14 & 15 are by Pines
3 6 8 & 10 involve lil Elevated mounds, possibly causing Rollaways or Rollbacks
2 4 5 & 16 are Aceruns, with little fear of running too long
7 11 17 & 18 are Terraced Greens, with Fairways involving Elevation
Short Tees seem White level, while the Longs are a mix of Red and Blue challenge
Quality Design in that the Longs do more than just add distance to the front Tee. They add challenge by either using Elevation, Trees, Fairway Shape, and or combinations of those
Holes 1-6 play on around the Ridge with the Landfillhill. 1 3 & 6 are the Open 'Airout' Holes. 4 and 5 have Fun Downhill Shot options... 5 is a rememberable Unique Hole
7 8 9 finish the Front, playing short Wooded holes using the side of the main Ridge, Fun DG
The Back plays on the main Ridge. 10 and 11 are most excellent holes, using Elevation and incorporating late dogleg landing zones, making a 2 very challenging
12 & 13 plays slightly down the Ridge, then 14 & 15 play slightly back up the Ridge. This area features Oldgrowth Pines, especially around the Greens
You finish the Course up on the main Ridge. 16 takes you back up a mossy fairway, with the Basket under a group of Oaks. 17 is another Unique rememberable hole, incorporating the Dogleg early. 18 is an excellent Finishing Hole, with a pretty long Huk, but fairly wide undulating fairway
The BENCHES, yes the Benches!?! 8 11 & 13 notably, but there's numerous Sponsored Benches abound
Other Thoughts:
For being a relatively new DGC, Rookery is maturing quite impressively. Generous sized Wooded Fairways, slash cleared out. Clover and Grass Turf on Fairways looking good and free of erosion
Have been back to Rookery numerous times since this review...
it's always in good shape and the Discgolf is truly Great out there
