lost an orange champion firebird in the lake 15 ft off shore on hole 14. In front of the willow on the right in front of the basket.
Andy Smith June 19, 2015 at 9:49pm
Due to the fact that we had a last minute emergency with staff and I'm out of town we have to CLOSE the course today.
Jeff Novak June 17, 2015 at 5:14am
What is the state of the course? All mowed? Still wet in spots?
Andy Smith
June 18, 2015 at 11:14am
Sorry Jeff as of right now 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14&15 have had a cut. 1,2,4,16,17&18 haven't been cut due to water.
Shawn Boucke June 17, 2015 at 12:06am
Does Andrew still run the shop? I'm trying to get ahold of him but no response from email or Facebook.

Andrew nor up in the air is associated with Belle Isle or Detroit disc golf. Sorry but don't hold your breath because he doesn't answer our calls or emails either!

Ok, Thank you. I let him hold onto a good amount of credit from sold discs until he got some stock back in. Don't know if I will get that back now.

I think it's been about 9 months, but I lost a green z force. I don't remember what hole, but I was wondering if it's in the lost and found.

Are you guys open today?
Andy Smith
June 6, 2015 at 10:50am
No we are not we cut a lot of the holes in yesterday but it pour on top of water that was already standing on the course. Hole 1,2,17,18,16,4&5 are full of water 8inches deep in some spots. We could not cut some of those holes yet and the grass is about waist high. Trying to finish it today or tomorrow. Sorry
Nick Oliver June 1, 2015 at 9:59pm
Pardon our dust!
We are taking the week to do some mowing and maintenance. WE WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL THIS WEEKEND. It sucks, we know, but it is a must and things will be better for all! If you want to help on maintenance and/or have mowing equipment please reach out. THANKS!

We really appreciate those who appreciate and support our efforts. We are all fathers, work multiple jobs, and are paying for this out of pocket. We rely on fundraisers and tournaments to get things done. So coming out to play, getting a shirt or season pass, and understanding the course is still in flux means the world to us.
Zack Cardenas May 31, 2015 at 2:21am
Is it going to be open next Saturday?
Daniel J Lee May 28, 2015 at 8:11pm
Is the course open this weekend during the races?
Andy Smith
May 28, 2015 at 1:02pm
No and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We have some much needed maintenance and cutting to be done this weekend . Due to the race schedule is going to be hard for regular traffic to get onto the island I had of the races all even we have to have special passes for this. Course will resume regular hours on Monday .
Brad Fuelling May 24, 2015 at 11:26pm
lost an orange firebird in the water on hole 15. name and number are on it
Fred Vocino May 15, 2015 at 6:43pm
I'm keeping my schedule flexible for a tournament in the fall. It looks like folks expect to have the water issues resolved by then. Where we have general concerns about the melting of the polar ice caps and the movement of water over the Canadian-shield into the GreatLakes system, I am particularly troubled by the prospect of loosing islands like Belle Isle.

We will definetely have at least 2 tourneys after summer. Grand Finale and one other (beeer, please).
Doug Williams May 15, 2015 at 6:25pm
Heading to Detroit Monday 5-18 for a week of training. Looking for a place to play some kind of organized play. This appears to be the closest course to my hotel at the RenCen...any ideas on where or when to go...also is this course a walkable distance from the RenCen?

Enjoyed the course but it sure could use a mow. Shame more folks didn't show up for the 1st league nite. Thanks Eric for the ride it was greatly appreciated.
Jim Stack May 8, 2015 at 3:18pm

Nick Oliver
May 8, 2015 at 9:30am
Indeed. If everything goes as planned next spring and this fall will be more better in terms of water. We appreciate the support brother!!!
Nick Oliver May 5, 2015 at 6:18pm
Tuesday Random Dub league starts tonight!!!
Brendan Livingston May 4, 2015 at 6:52am
Lost 2 discs in lake muskoday today, the first was a Blue McPro Aviar 20 feet off the coast near the first willow on 14. I shot that at at hole 5 and it took off over the bridge. The second is a yellow Gstar Boss, which hit the second willow near the basket on hole 14 and fell into the water 20 feet offshore. This is just a record in hopes of getting these tagged discs back at some point.
Brendan Livingston
May 8, 2015 at 11:53am
Good to know Nick, I've heard there are a whole slew of discs down there, we should get a scuba team, lol.

TY sir^ We agree. Water control measures are in the works and in some places have been implemented.
Mike Walker April 30, 2015 at 4:21pm

Tony Vidal Brendan Livingston
May 3, 2015 at 10:56pm
update, as of today hole 4 is the only really wet hole. It's drying out fast. Mike, how is Riverbends in terms of water right now?
Darren Harper
Stephen Moore April 28, 2015 at 8:58pm
Is there a league that will be hosted here during the week? With the hours, I was not sure. Since I work in the city it would be cool to have a league close by.
Scott White April 28, 2015 at 8:35pm
xpost from FB:
Season starts May 1st. Season passes should be in soon, but we're taking $$$ and will mail or distribute asap.
Tentative hours (these will change so we can be open earlier at least one weekday): Monday-Friday 12-8
Sat-Sun 10-8
William Gilbert April 15, 2015 at 9:33pm
so with the fly mart is the course going be open to play before noon, like 10AM????
Andy Smith
April 15, 2015 at 11:41pm
Yeah we will be down early enough to let you throw. Gonna try and put all the baskets back in on Saturday so should be ready to play. If you come out at 10am we'll get you out.
William Gilbert
April 18, 2015 at 1:11am
Well we had hoped to have our league there. but if not in we will have to discuss going elsewhere]
how were the course conditions?id like to eventually play it.
its rough right now, there are issues with the drainage system. When the golf course was closed down back in 2003 they filled in the drains with dirt. They are waiting on permits to re-dig and drain the course so they can really mow. Its playable, just really wet in spots.
Thanks for accurately and respectfully informing people for us.
