Off to a great start on the hill!
Reviewed:
Played on:Jul 16, 2023
Played the course:once
Pros:
-Disc Golf at Alpine Valley! I have been here for a ton of concerts and it was great to see the backside of the amphitheater from the course on the ski hill.
-This is arguably the most unique course in SE Wisconsin.
-Pay to play. $5.00 daily fee. I would gladly pay $10.00 or more if the funds go to course improvement endeavors.
-Baskets and tee pads are brand new, so everything is in great shape.
-Awesome elevation and hole variety throughout the course. The first 3 holes take you uphill, then you get to grip it and rip it back down on Hole 4.
-The signature holes here are the downhill bomber shots on 4 and 18.
-The ski hill equipment including snowmakers, light poles, fences, etc. provide unique obstacles that you don't see on a typical course.
-There are a few shorter holes, such as 6, 7, 12 and 15 but they provide plenty of challenges with a few tight fairways. They did not feel like filler/throw away holes.
-Next tee signs on most baskets and other temporary markers helped with navigation.

Cons:
-Tee pads are nice and wide, but they are not long enough. I am not a tall guy and I use a normal 4 step approach on most holes but found myself looking for creative ways to use the space around the tee pads too many times here. Hopefully there is a plan in the works to fix this issue.
-The signs are temporary, which is expected at a brand new course. I trust that the eventual permanent signs will allow me to move this to the Pros section down the road.
-Minor but anticipated issue for a new course...there are a lot of tripping hazards. Watch your step, especially in the wooded areas.

Other Thoughts:
-This new course has a ton of potential. Whether or not any improvements are made here, I live close enough to come back for more fun on the hill.
-Speaking of fun...this course already has it in a big way. This has always helped me decide whether or not to come back and play a "new to me" course.
-I hope the Alpine Valley team will be able to add additional holes to utilize more of the elevation the hill has to offer in the future.
