New Michigan Courses?

[jhgonzo]

On a side note, I'll be in Adrian, MI, this weekend visiting the in-laws...yes, I've played Heritage, and will only play there if I can't get out anywhere else. Probably won't be able to stray too far if I do, but would LOVE to hit Ypsi, or at least Jackson. Adrian's kind of in the disc golf butthole of Michigan...

I haven't played Heritage, but it doesn't sound like i'm missing much. lol

From Adrian, Jackson CC is proly the closest after Heritage. But I've heard it is impossible to navigate alone and not that great overall. There's also Parmalee & Vienna to the southeast. Both are decent. Solid city parks, just nothing amazing.

If your looking for quality, the next closest and your best bets would be Rolling Hills and/or The Ponds. Rolling Hills is a unique layout and pretty fun. The Ponds doesn't have very much variety, but it is a good environment and good time. The on-site Throw Shop is cool too.

Just played Burchfield Park yesterday. Seriously one of the best courses I've played. I've only played at 10+ courses around the Southeast mostly, but this one takes the cake over all those.

I HOPE they build some new courses somewhere near here, and soon, because here in Grand Rapids, I've been to all the nearest parks within a 45 minute radius or so, and I gotta say, I'm getting sick of them, especially Riverside.
