Fun technical 18 hole course (not to be confused with Eureka Temp; pro course). There are some holes that are open fairways with a grip it and rip it approach, otherwise two thirds of the holes are wooded with narrow fairways and some crazy lines. Not a great course for beginners with some of the accuracy needed to hit some of the gaps. There is also some elevation changes albeit shooting up or down that add to the complexity of this course. Hitting trees could send you down into some of the valleys leaving you with difficult upshots. I played here during Ledgestone 2022 and returned for redemption. I got just that, granted the course is easier to see lines in the fall to spring months over summer months with the foliage included. The course layout starts you out by the parking lot. Hole 18 ends by the sidewalk that requires a little walk back to the lot. There is a mix of holes with one or two tee pads and one pin position per hole. The distances in UDisc doesn’t appear accurate as hole 15 and 16 are both 600+ feet and UDisc has them both under 350. Also not sure UDisc’s main layout for this course is accurate or up to date either. The course is clean and the few fairways that require maintenance of some sort are well-maintained. This is expected considering this course is used during the high caliber Ledgestone tournament. Signs are in great shape and dictate the concrete tee positions, pin position, distance, par for the hole and some even show “next tee” direction. There are additional signs directing you to the next tee when needed as there are other paths that run through the course that could lead to confusion. I do not recall seeing a course map near hole one therefore one might need to reference UDisc for guidance during a first time playing through. Playing in March wasn’t that bad as you see other tee pads fairly easily. The course is mostly cart friendly with a few holes that might require a little more effort but overall manageable. There was a recent mishap with a tree crushing hole 17’s tee pad (see photo). I imagine it will be cleared shortly but the pad might not be repaired for some time depending how the city prioritizes this repair/replacement. Also hole 18 was not identified very clearly. I did not see a sign or tee pad for it but I recalled where it was for Ledgestone and played from the painted lines on the sidewalk. This is also were the UDisc layout appeared incorrect. To my knowledge there were no bathrooms and garbage cans were available on occasion. It rained heavily the night before but did not seem to have any impact on this course the following day. Overall this course is fun and challenging. I’d easily drive 45-60 minutes monthly to play this course if I lived close enough. Came down from the Mileaukee area with this course in my top 5 courses to play in this area. It took three of us approximately two and a half hours to play one round. We arrived early in March on a Sunday morning. No one else was there at the time and there were a handful of cars in the parking lot when we finished. I can't speak to how busy it gets in warmer months. A must play of you are in the area and have any sort of skill or patience. Photos are a mix of the Ledgestone tournament in August and March of 2023.

Great course with challenging lines thru the woods and some open holes. Enjoyed the hike thru nature as much as the disc golf.

Beautiful park, great for the disc golfer in your life.

A nice disc golf park with a big lake. Lots of people kayaking and fishing on the lake. The disc golf course is well maintained and has a high level of difficulty. There is some trash on the ground despite the multiple trashcans though.

A challenging disk gulf course through the woods.
