I have played disc golf all over the US, and Flip City remains the best course I have ever played. This course will challenge the best disc golfers and will leave you wanting to play it again and again. Bill does an amazing job with grounds keeping and deserves much praise. Flip City is the best that this sport has to offer. When you play, don't forget to leave a generous donation.

This course would definetly get an A+ if it had a driving range of some sort..What Bill has done to half of his property is a true blessing..This is a course that you can play all day and have a fun day of disc golf... Great terrain with up shots, down shots, and evrything in between.. Challenging for all skill levels..watch out for the Alternites they can be tricky.. Thanks Bill

What can one say about flip city that has not already been said by anyone who has played it... it is hands down the best. Quality tee pads, severe elevation changes, a wide variety of shots, well placed pins and it is very aesthetically pleasing. Bill maintains the course beautifully and the location keeps the crowd down. I have never been on this course and thought that something needs to be changed. We are so lucky to have this course in our state and i wish i could play it more.

Might be the best course on Earth without a giant waterfall or whales! Give Bill some cash before you play, dont ask"how much?" just hook him up and you will throw an ace during your first round.

The best course I have ever played without question. Scenic and challenging, it will bring every shot you have out of your bag. Every disc golfer anywhere near Michigan owes it to him/herself to play here at least once.

Flip City is my favorite course that I have played on. This is a must play course! Great shots for all levels of players. Interesting holes with pristine fairways, rock piles, rock mushrooms, pavilions, and more make Flip City the place to play a really fun round of Disc Golf. I LOVE FLIP CITY!

This place is just plain rediculous. Its the ultimate discgolf paradise. I cant hardly believe it. The owner must spend every waking moment grooming this little slice of heaven. A variety of shots, plenty of elevation, rock formation obstacles..........just a prime example of perfection at a discgolf course. If you want a good pitch to your local city for installing a course, show them pictures of this place. I could go on and on, just get in your car and make the drive. Do it.

This was a pretty cool course, and I do have to give props to Bill for keeping this up in the condition that it is in. This course is amazingly well kept up, it compares to those in KY that I have played. I would have to say though I think that it is a little overrated. Great course, loved the land but I don't see what gives it the #1 in Michigan. Obviously there are a lot of people that haven't played Bluegill yet, and they probably should.

Beautiful 24 holes of disc golf paradise. Great flow, design, upkeep, teeboxes and baskets. Its really great that bill keeps this course great for all of us and he seems to be a real nice guy. The only way this course could be any better is if it had water than it would be an A+

Awesome layout, enough blind holes and tight shots, but given the location I'm amazed @ how many open holes there are. It is tough but @ the end of it, it still has enough feel good holes spaced in there to feel good about your round

I enjoyed the course, but I do not see how this is the number 1 course in MI, the course was a beautiful layout and alot of nice holes, great view when u are on hole 12 and hole 12a. Bill put alot of hard work into it dnt get me wrong, but to me it wasn't the best course I played. I know its not his fault but the leaves in the woods, kinda of scared me, did not know if theres was holes I would fall into and so on. but again I enjoyed the course. thanks bill for having a discgolf course.

Great course, fun to play. The down side of this course is location. Off the beaten path and near nothing. Take all your drinks & food with you. The black flies in summer are killer. Need lots of pest spray here. The course play is an A. But C+ due to rest.

Very nice coarse! It has so many fun elements. It is one of the best places I have played. That's for sure! Everyone said it was better then Hickory Hills in Traverse City, MI. I don't think it is. I think is a awesome coarse, that's for sure! But I love my home coarse! Please pay your 1$ for your round. This place is very well maintained and there is a lot of love put into it. So please show your respect. It's on a man's private property and you are graciously allowed to play there. Don't be a scum bag!!!

Has a great mix of fun and challenge. It's a prime example of what I call adventure golf, it takes you on a journey. If you go, please don't litter or write stupid **** on the picnic tables and make it look like cass benton. It's hands down the best course I've played and yes, I've played that one in Kentucky and many more.

i capped off an amazing weekend off discing up in traverse city (hickory,carly's, & kimmerly) and decided to drive 75 miles out of my way to try out flip city, and found that it was soooo worth it! the elevation changes are great, they really add to the impeccable course layout. thx to all my fellow disc golfers for adding the rock formations throughout, they add to the beautiful landscape perfectly. a must play for anyone who plays to enjoy nature and a reasonable challenge on the course
ps...bring bug spray & dont forget your $1, best dollar i ever spent

Exit 140 draws you out of the groove in the pine and hardwood forest that is highway 31 north of Muskegon, Michigan. You look out onto a terrain shaped by the last ice age and a few determined farmers. Untouched by the grower's machines, Flip City adds a few pads and baskets to the trees and plants that occupy this gift from a receding glacier. People who play here offer compensation for their grinding feet by erecting awkward columns from the rock-till exposed by recent rains or gathered by so ...

Just played Flip City for the third or fourth time as part of the 2012 Michigan State Championships. As always, it kicked my arse and I was very impressed. Beautiful scenery, the biggest elevation changes I have ever seen on a course, and Bill McKenzie really takes care of it. Love the rock piles, the rounded cement tee pads with the fould line, and all of the pavillions and benches. Best course I have ever played.

Played here for the 2012 Ace Race. I got there a day early to play the course a few times before the ace race and it was phenomenal. Bill lets you spend the night on his land for 10 bucks, which is pretty sweet. He really seems like a pretty cool guy. It never was that busy because the 24 holes is pretty spread out. Great elevation changes and has greens that will make you pull your hair out. The rock formations were pretty amazing! This course almost has the feel of a real golf course, due to bills constant upkeep on the course.

Both a technical course and the most amazing course i have ever played. Flip City is definitely no walk in the park and the hills will have you ready for a break after every few holes, but the scenery and just how well kept the course is will easily make you want to keep on playing. Flip is definitely worth any drive, mine was only about 2 1/2 hours, but i would have easily drove three times that. This is a MUST PLAY.

Great all around course. I think I threw every disc in my bag and just about every type of shot at some point. There are several blind shots that are tough to find if you havent played there before. Putting is dangerous here. Very few of the baskets are in a level area. If you are too aggressive around the basket you can end up in big trouble.
