Oh. That.

Ok never mind.
I'll get a hold of Larry and see if I can get some details of where's he's at with those.

Has anyone played Porcupine Mountains yet? A group of us are heading up there from Escanaba tomorrow morning. The park is probably packed with tourists this weekend and I'm wondering how many campers have been playing the course and how crowded it might be. We would definitely like to get 2 rounds in at least.
So on a whim I went to Flip today and on my way back I hit up Winstrom. Looks like someone has be doing work on repairing and replacing the pads and the signs. It's not a lot better but it's getting there. Along with that, the foliage is really starting to grow back in and it is more difficult than what I recall. It's still easy...I mean I got a 52 without trying real hard and I'm a mid level Am3.
Review on Flip coming soon...
So here's a thing:
This is located at LMC in Benton Harbor and from the video I can tell it's going to be a craptastic waste of tax payer money. What really frustrates me is they refuse to use the acres of woods to the north of campus but more importantly they did not return my phone calls when I offered to help with design. Now they've got a cool little safety hazard. Can't wait to do a review on that one. :wall:

Played it yesterday, beautiful course. I don't think I wouldn't drive three hours to play it again, but I'm glad I went. It was like a ghost town up there, we had the whole place to ourselves. Gorgeous views of Lake Superior from the ski hill. I just posted a review.
Well, I checked out Marshall's Ketchum Park. I only found 6 holes and they were all 100-footers. It's evident that it was cleared recently, but I didn't see room for the flagged tee locations to be back much further (they were all against the parking lot or skate park).
I looked around the park in the two logical directions there were for more holes and encountered nothing else. I'm thinking the listing was put up prematurely for this website.
I've met Kirk (Luna Disc guy) a few times over the years and he's super cool plus knows the sport, so I'm going to stay away from reviewing out of respect for what plans he might have for this place, but as for now don't waste your time going to this place.

I've really been meaning to get up there, I've known this course was in the works for awhile, since Gogebic Community College (where I run Mt. Zion DGC) owns (or manages) the ski hill.
Happy to hear its not a dive course. Maybe this weekend I'll see if I can swing up there.

Yeah, you're close enough that it would be totally worth it for you to go. If nothing else, it's a beautiful drive up there, and there are some gorgeous views of Lake Superior.

Same here, was going to update conditions but I see you already have it covered. :thmbup:
Very short course with 6 holes in the woods that were recently cleared. Beware of walking around the baskets as the ground was extremely uneven. We attempted to find other hole locations even venturing across the bridge but found nothing. Must be very early in the process of installing this very beginner friendly course. The current 6 holes are easily a one disc putter round only kind of course. Hole #3 was awkward having to walk back to the teepad to get to hole #4.
Yep, when little-old me deuces all six holes with a beaten-up DX Aviar, you know you have a course with beginners and children in mind. I did play hole #1 again by teeing off next to the park entrance gate which made it slightly more interesting shooting over the creek, still reachable with a beaten-up DX Roc.
The Prodigy baskets are awesome, though. I want to see more of those!

Does anyone have pictures of or comments on Yankee Springs Golf Course? Maybe someone that hasn't had the time yet to write a full-fledged review.
I've seen this thread and http://www.playyankeegolf.com/disc-golf-course/ but was wondering if there is more information out there.

Been wondering about the yankee springs course myself. Last trip to Michigan I couldn't make time to play it. Next week I fly up and have it at the top of my list of courses to hit. Shocked it still doesn't have a review yet.
the way the newspaper story looked, this course was in. I didn't drive the 1.5hrs to get there...

No worries. I work in Galesburg and left from there to check it out instead of home in SW KZoo County.
added two 9's today:
Grawn Twp (near traverse city)
and
St Johns Park (redesign?) I sent Timg a message to either RIP the old one or just update the old listing. per the listed review, it's still a crap hole.

It's always disapointing when I pop in this thread. Always new courses, never near flint/grand blanc area.

Any update the expansion at Indy Lake? I saw they've mowed out and staked a few holes just east of the basket on #11.
Is the plan to expand to 27, or end up with two complete 18 hole courses, one of which will incorporate existing A-F holes?

There are 12-13 new holes cut and marked. The all important bog bridge is in place which will link the new loop.
Another walkthough is happening next week. Moving along nicely. Yes it will probably be 2x18.
