White is my favorite 9 holes at Brewer. There are a few open holes with elevation to start with. The rest are in woods with mature trees and some elevation. A fun course to play that has some long, mid range and short holes. White is also a fun course to play dubs with some buds on.

Easy short course through trees that you should be able to shoot under par without difficulty as long as you don't miss too many putts

9 holes on blue has some woods and all holes are birdie opportunities. Can get through it in 30 minutes or less. Good for mid range and putting game. Clean and easy to navigate. Lots of leaves in the fall, so make sure to watch your disc closely.

Open holes and you will get to open your arm up on red. Watch your disc because sometimes the grass eats them.

Hardest course at Brewer. Mostly open and slight elevation on some holes. Usually some water on 7,8,9. However, this is one that is played least there and you won't have to wait ever. I like to play gold after one of the other courses there.

Holes are for the most part pretty short but you definitly have to find you way around the trees. Can be difficult at times but really average at others. Nice course. You have so wood holes and some open fairway holes. Last hole is pretty challenging.

The newer population is ruining this place. Mobs of 12+ on every course & letting no one through. People walking through other peoples shot like it's their job. Running up on the basket while others try to putt. And no consideration what-so-ever is given to the course it's self let alone respect. To me, the golfers playing (in the vicinity) have as much to do with my opinion of a course as the layout it's self. And unfortunately, Brewer has fallen to mediocre at best.

A nice use of the land and has some distance. Pretty open so scores really shouldn't vary much since there aren't any trees to hit.

Decent variety of shots. Most unique course at Brewer. There aren't really any holes that can really punish you but you do have to hit your lines and weave through some trees

The new layout of the South 18 or Red 18 as I believe it will be called is much more demanding than it once was. There are some grip it and rip it holes and holes that demand a long placement shot and some shorter holes that aren't pitch and putt. I dig it. There are some precarious tee placements that need some rethinking.

Not digging the new layout. As my home course for many years, I will miss the four 9-hole courses. The new layout needs some work with parking, as well as pin placement, and directions. Really hoping there are some GREAT ideas coming, but I do not think that is the case. On a positive note, typically shoot under par for all courses, and found myself at par for the new layout. Increase difficulty attributed to confusing hole placement. All the trees that were removed do not provide any better lines, trees should have stayed.

I think this is the course I played. It's the one on the right when you pull in the parking lot. I really like the new set up. Added some distance to some holes. It's not the hardest course I've played but it's a lot of fun. Definetly worth checking out if your in the area.

Not a fan of the new layout. I liked the park a lot better before they changed all the holes around. They need to fill in some of the wet holes.

Scary redesign... Overlapping/ fairways and greens.
If you can throw a 300 ft righty backhand hyzer or straight to hyzer shot you will shoot double digits under par. Uninspired disc golf. It could have been redesigned 1000 times better.. so sad... what a waste of great disc golf land.
Better to play in the morning... or bring a helmet.

Sucks that a few of the holes are still in the really muddy area of the park. But if you catch it on a good drought it's a fun course. More wooded than the South course. I am a BIG fan of the changes made.

first hole you throw parallel with the parking lot...there is also a mando on the billboard where they post their events....and the first teepad is throwing right at it...the course has no flow..and is constantly throwing over other teepads and fairways

When you first arrive at the park you want to take a left at the 2nd drive.
The first pin of the North course (woodland) is located on the north side of the parking lot.
The North course starts off with a short warm up hole. Stay to the right to get to hole 2. Each hole has its own small challenge.
This was my first round at this course and it challenged me in a fun way.

Played the course for first time in 6 years. Enjoyed the new layout for the North with added distance and pin placements that were tucked into trees and bushes on many holes. I remember before almost getting pegged with discs all the time by the bathrooms, using my putter on lots of tees. I definitely had to use my driver and work for pars on holes that before were easy glides down hill. Thanks for the efforts to use more of the land, longer drives and make it safer. I will be back again.

I enjoyed going from links style holes to 3 tight technical shots back to links style. It broke up what could of been grip and rip up hill to grip and rip down hill. Hole number 16 was great with a 500 foot fairway and then the pin tucked into some dense maple trees. Hole 15 and 16 are little tight and discs cross fairways. Overall, great use of the property and feel it is a huge upgrade from the old layout that I played 6 years ago. I will be back

Nothing to dislike except the hour drive to get there from Portage, MI. You get to pitch a disc in length, turns, precision shots and on mowed well kept fairways of ample width for most intermediate players.

stopped here for a round on my way to a show in downtown gr, reminded me of my home courses a lot - a little confusing to navigate the first time but luckily i ran into some really nice local dudes on hole 3 and played the rest of the round with them. would love to come back and play the south course.

A lot has changed at Brewer Park since the last time I visted. There are only two courses, North & South. North is a combonation of Blues and Golds while South remains most of the remaining Gold tees. South is much more difficult when it comes to ranges and accuracy. Overall still a great course.

Pretty easy course if you can throw some decent distance. Seems like it would be dangerous to play with people all around since tee pads, baskets, and fairways are all very very close together. Some baskets are really old an rusty but can still catch putts. Interesting course to say the least.

The North 18 offers a good mix of holes. Some long, some short, and some very technical holes will make for a fun and challenging day for the beginner. There are also several interesting pin placements where the basket is hidden from the tee either on top of a hill of around a grove of trees. There are a few holes that can get pretty muddy if it has recently rained. Overall I thought it was pretty good time. Don't let the negative reviews scare you off. I think a lot of the negative reviews ar ...
