3.00 star(s) Beginners bliss Very beginner friendly and well manicured 9 hole course. Fairly easy to navigate, but bring a map and look for the colored posts that mark the tee boxes. They are a big help. Two sets of tees for most holes. The hole design was well thought out. With the exception of hole 7 the...

3.50 star(s) Fairway or bust Very challenging course. Upper level players will appreciate the difficulty of this course. Easy to navigate, signs wherever necessary. Beautiful scenery. I could have fun just walking the course. Lots of elevation and well designed holes. Lots of risk vs. reward opportunities...

3.00 star(s) Tale of two 9's Excellent tees. Surprisingly technical and challenging course. Front and back 9 are very different which is great to avoid a repetitive feel for the entire course. Both accuracy and distance are utilized throughout. Many pins are well guarded by trees. Great mix of open and...

4.00 star(s) Picturesque Picturesque course! The landscape is beautiful and adds to an already awesome course. Extremely easy to navigate, signs whenever necessary, maps and score cards located at course map by the first tee. Very well designed course, nice use of elevation, fair to all throwing styles and...

3.50 star(s) The good, the bad and the pond Lots of elevation change, differing hole lengths and well placed baskets were the first pros that came to mind when I thought back to my experience at Van Buren. I especially liked the hole 12 pin placement which was designed to punish players for overshooting the...

3.00 star(s) Golf Course or Disc Golf Course? Good place to practice throwing it all out on huge, bare fairways. Reminds me of a par 3 golf course in the layout and the amount to which it is manicured. Concrete tees. Good use of the landscape available on most holes. Holes 10 and 11 are a nice change of pace...

4.00 star(s) The Constant Challenge Concrete tees, well groomed fairways, lots of elevation change. The Elevation changes are drastic and help make this course unique and challenging. Easy to navigate thanks to new signs. Benches located throughout and there's a pavilion. Fair to both righties and lefties...

4.50 star(s) My favorite This course has it all! Challenging, but still beginner friendly. Very well manicured. Technical wooded holes and some longer, more open par 4s. Some very unique, well designed holes you'll want to play again and again. Tees and baskets are adequate. There's a stream in play...

3.50 star(s) Worthwile experience Even mix of hole design. You get to air it out on some longer, open holes and test your accuracy on the shorter, wooded holes. Its nice to play a course with 4 par 4s. The course does not favor one particular throwing style over another. Excellent signs. The baskets for most...

3.00 star(s) Big Arm Required Huge layout. The fairways are large enough to allow you to air it out with everything you have on many holes without fearing your disc will never be seen again. Well manicured. Elevated tees and greens and some signature holes you won't see duplicated elsewhere. Holes 11 and 18...

3.50 star(s) Fun Wooded Course Fun and challenging wooded course with a well thought out design on most holes. I found it easy to navigate. Forces you to play under control and be accurate. Playing cautious is to your advantage here as opposed to some courses where you can go all out on every throw and never...

2.50 star(s) Accuracy Over Power Don't have alot of power? Not a problem here, accuracy is the name of the game at this course. Signs make it easy to navigate. Cool in the woods on a hot summer day. Very tight fairways. Throwing overhand makes or breaks your game for too many holes. Few instances of...

4.00 star(s) A little bit of everything Excellent mix of some open holes and some technical wooded holes. Alot of different shots are required and no holes have a sense of being repeated. I like how some of the holes have the basket elevated and placed atop the rock outcrops which makes the course unique and...

4.00 star(s) Unique Course Awesome course layout. Great mix of what is required to do well on each hole. Good mix of wooded and open holes. Very unique course. Very fun course. The water hazards can eat up discs quickly. The listing for par is completely out of whack. They should all be par 3's. Not beginner...

2.50 star(s) Beginner Course Easy to get birdies. Good mix of open holes and well guarded holes. Not an intimidating course or overwhelming course. Some water is utilized. Difficult to navigate without a map. A fun course with a solid design and good utilization of the space available. Excellent course for...
