This course will always hold a special place in my heart. I was the lucky winner of DGA 's 2008 worlds basket raffle. The picnic course provided the ideal remote beautiful setting for 18 sunburst orange Mach III baskets. Thanks to the hard work of Local 101 and Washtenaw parks and recreation my dream was realized of a new course close to home for all to enjoy. Several lakeside pin placements provide risk v reward shots as well as spectacular photo ops. the seasonality of the course usually ...

A world class course. The only reservation I have is the safety issue. In weather which is unseasonably good picnicers come out who know nothing about disc golf and become accidents waiting to happen (especially the kiddy playgrounds which are in or adjacent to the fairways). Ok, maybe the tee pads could be better but you really don't expect cement tee pads for a temp course. Depending on how OB lines are set the course can be modified substantially because there are lots of walking paths ...

Going into my top 5 in Michigan. Finally got cement pads. Probably the best course in the Ann Arbor area.

Beautiful back nine. Two sets of concrete tee pads make this course phenomenal.

The course continues to be broken in, mitigating the effects of the wild brush outside of the fairway. Must play if you're in the Dexter area.

A very well thought out design. Challenging in all aspects of the game. Just make sure you stretch the arm between the car and hole #1 which is a very welcoming 500 footer through an alley of hardwoods and if you're a righty you had better bring your anhyzer or sidearm game.........Nice!

I would rate it higher but a lot of the holes have the same feel...a high 300 ft to high 400 ft hole with a slow left to right fade.

The new X1-X7 long tees make for terribly designed holes. The new holes in the field are good. The double mando hole is truly awful/gimmicky.

Not sure what the thought process was behind the changes on x1-x5 and x7. Seems like it was designed to be hard just for the sake of being hard. Very luck based for a lot of them and I think the scoring separation has basically been taken away on a few—everyone will just par. Open holes are solid. X13 is ridiculous. I’m happy they’re trying to keep improving the course but some outside input might’ve been helpful.

Nicely designed seasonal course.

Downsides are that the baskets are only in the ground from October through March, and several holes have natural teepads.

Also a world class course with superb design and challenges. Rumor is that cement tee pads are coming soon which will fix the biggest flaw of the course.

The course is still new enough that it is underplayed most times: a big bonus.

This course is now complete with the addition of cement tees. Longs & Mids are both a lot of fun to play, a good mix of open and woods holes. It has a wide variety of shots, if anything, I would ask for a couple more tunnel-type shots for a complete balance. I did not play the short tees yet but they look very technical, I'm looking forward to playing them. A great addition to SE MI golf where we are so fortunate to have so many fine courses.

In my opinion, the best course in the area. Long distance mixed with tight short/long holes through woods, and longer open holes, challenging pin placements, brand new tee signs and pads. If you have never played..get out there and check it out. Park fees when in effect are quite expensive due to being a county park!

I haven't played Indy in a year and half, since the additions were finalized into 2 separate courses. At the time, it was only the X-holes. I feel that some of the additions and changes made were unfortunately for the worse. I normally don't review courses, but I've made enough comments on social media to justify doing it now. Some of the existing long pads that were extended into the current Black tees made already good holes excessively difficult for no reason, specifically holes 4 and 9 in my ...

I'm giving the picnic course and A- under the following assumptions: -You know where you are going, you have played the course before. -The footing on the natural teepads is OK (ie. it's not raining or muddy or icy or snowy). -You are playing the course when the baskets are in the ground. If these conditions are met I can't think of any other place I would rather be discin. Unfortunately to meet these conditions you have a very small time window - I'm talking a few weeks in October and ...

The Picnic course is one of the best in Southeast Michigan. The course itself is fairly wide open with some trees coming into play on holes 2, 4, 5, 7, and 18. The real challenge of this course, and what makes it great, is the setting and how it plays in with the course. There is OB on nearly every hole. Be it roads, pavilions, or water, the Ob on this course is challenging. Many holes offer chances at birdies but only shot that have superb placement will net you said birdies. The true signature ...

very beautiful course, challenging pin placements mixed with distance. plays around the lake providing challenging winds at times. Temp course, so no perm teepads, but the dirt pads are mostly level and mud free 90% of time.

Just played LOCO X7 and absolutely loved this course. We played the 20 hole format with A - F in play (brand new with crushed rock tee pads), and it played like a champion course. The highlight to me were the DGA Mach III baskets with the orange powder coating (won at Worlds by Peter Kunoff). But the course was also amazing with lots of wooded holes with trees everywhere, as well as open holes. We saw plenty of wildlife, and it looked like water would come into play more at different times ...

This was my first time out on This course. its a nice place and a great disc golf course. at this course they have a variety of holes. some were wide open, some had blind drives b/c of hills, some holes like hole one was kinda hard unless you have a great drive or get lucky b/c of lots of little trees about 3 or 4 inches thick all speard through the left side of the hole. on one hole the basket was set up on a plattue which would make a great dirt bike jump and made for a new style of disc golf ...

I’m really sad to see what has been done to Indy. I used to really like this place but now it has some of the worst holes I have ever had the misfortune of playing. It looks as if someone with little experience in course design is responsible for the addition of the long pads. This used to be a tournament destination for me and I will never play another one here. Very sad.

Challenging course with 3 sets of pads, the short pad is natural. The mids/whites have a variety of holes. A few are very difficult with tricky lines, especially 6-9. Water hazards on a few holes,nice elevation changes, good tee signs and next tee directions, plenty of picnic tables.

First off, original hole 16 (new hole 1) was the best tee shot on the entire course. Whoever decided to turn it into a 400’ straight shot just for the sake of pushing back original 15’s basket should be publicly shamed. This change is a tragedy. The new basket location for original hole 5 that makes it an 800’ par 4 is easily the best decision made with the redesign. Amazing hole. Well done. I truly have no idea what the designer was thinking when they made hole 15. You are literally ...

Excellent variety, unique holes with elevation, wooded and open, well maintained, less difficult and shorter than the east course. Swamp hazards can come into play on several holes, especially holes 1-4, I2 and 15. Water shot on 14. Picnic tables throughout the course, nice set of cement pads and good signage.

The only down side to this course is it's temporary availability and mixed tee pads. This course will test your game with challenging pin placements and extreme wind on frequent occasion. When this course is in the ground, Independence Lake is one of few premiere disc golf destinations in SE MI.

This is hands down one of the best, premier courses in Michigan. There have been some recent changes/additions to the course and I felt the review could use some dusting off.....The Local 101 not only has designed a phenomenal course, and the park services do a insane job of maintaining this course. It doesn't matter which Tee you choose to play from, you are being handed a phenomenal course. As of right now Holes 13-16 are closed due to construction (all 24 holes re-open this November), but i ...

One of the best courses around. Co-designed by one of my good friends, Scott White, who also helped out at Belle Isle. The flow, shot variety, isolation from pretty much everything, overall course condition, and number of holes are all strong suites. The lot is ample and most days are free from clusters. Weekends can get a bit busy, but the course plays well and there are few bottle neck spots. Practice basket is well placed and allows for all kinds of warm up shots. From hole 1, which will ...

Excellent course with three separate tee pads for different skill set. First hole is apretty tight tight wooded fairway. A good mixture of wooded and open to open wooded fairways with some good pin placements off some tees. Brooms, garbage cans and tables or benches at all holes. Very well maintained. Worth my time to travel and hour from warren just for this one course. Not to mention all the others around so close.

Disclaimer: As one of the co-designers here, my opinion is heavily biased. I should probably not be allowed to even rate this course. But I will... muahahaha Now that the course is complete with concrete teepads I think it stacks up favorably to any other course in the state, which puts it in the running with any other course in the country. It is secluded in a very natural setting with an abundance of wildlife. This course takes up a big space for 18 holes, I think it has about 30+ acres ...

I'm a little biased here but my 2 negatives about the course could be addressed by changing where the course starts. I feel that hole #1 is a much too difficult start and hole #18 is often anti-climatic. Would love to see hole #9 become #1 and hole # 8 become #18. I feel that this course tests every shot and offers plenty of risk reward opportunity.

What a great course. 2 cement teepads on most holes. Nice dga and chainstar baskets. Nice mix of straight, left to right, and left to right holes. Some with water hazards. Lots of elevation changes from mild to significant. Getting a 2 or a 4 on most holes are a real possibility from the shorts with safe and risk reward shots. Awesome place! Would have been an A+ but is pricey if you're from out of town to get into park.

Not sure how it plays once all the rough is grown in during the summer, but playing it twice in late April was incredible. So well cared for, great diversity in shot types, and elevation change. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed playing a course this much, almost all the holes were fair but often demanding, great people on the course, and 36 holes, well marked, easy to navigate, everything I want in a disc golf course given the geography of the area. I'd easily drive up again from Ohio for a day of disc golf here.

This is a great course and I think it's #1 in our area. Majority of the holes really let you rip it but there are a handful of technical holes as well. There's also some good elevation throughout the course with a pond that comes in to play on two holes. The course is very clean and the grass is always cut. Truly a great course

It's what you want and more an amazing layout long holes. Would test anyone you need a big arm. Well balanced just wish all the holes were in and my only real complained is the 3rd extra is just stupid there is NO line, I get hard but this hole isn't just hard it's Tarzan city.

One of my favorite courses. Always very well maintained and rarely super crowded. Doesn't seem to be as many litterbugs here as other courses but that could also be the park workers doing a good job. The rough is pretty nasty and full of thorns, burs, and poison ivy so accurate drives are crucial. Good variety of shots. The extras were an excellent addition to an already great course.

This is a medium - long length course with a good variety of open and wooded holes. The alphabet holes add a lot to the course so I would recommend hitting those if you have time. There is a fee / car as well as a water park if you're into that.

One of the toughest courses to play in this area from the back tees, a pro's course. The first hole is very challenging, very narrow fairway with trees all round. An excellent variety of holes that will challenge your best game. If you play from the back tees in summer go with a partner or a spotter. Indy Lake added 6 new holes in 2014, which makes the course even better. The course is getting grown in a bit now, could use some trimming, but if you are looking for a challenging course with a wide variety of holes, Indy Lake is perfect.

Did all 36. A handful over par 3 for day the x-12, the funnest part, kicked my butt. Had a blast. So look forward to going back and getting a par round counting all as 3 figure for my level way to do that is get more birds other part of course and not take so many throws on x12. First one though so fun, for me, to get a bird as Teebird did its thing right to the mulch. Of course, hit early tree next hole to make getting a 4 an accomplishment.

I don’t mind this course. Has some challenge and some unique holes but still needs some tweaks. Multiple holes with fairways that are 3 discs wide starts to feel gimmicky.

Really like the change on hole 3 to push the basket back. I don’t mind the changes on 7 or 18. 15 needs to be fixed—throwing into a wall of trees that’s also OB is pretty silly. No one in sanctioned play will ever be incentivized to go for that shot. Better to try to throw sideways to the short tee pad.

There are a couple of baskets that were pushed back and I like those changes. Hole 7 is a great hole now and 18 (East)is much safer and pushed back straighter and longer away from 18 west. This course has a few ace runs and a lot of picture pretty holes. This course is shorter and way more beginner friendly. I love this course and think it’s a great transition from the other 18. From the white pads, it’s much more amateur friendly than East. If you don’t wanna get pissed off, play West instead.

the fairways were nicely mowed, picnic table at every hole, nice chip an log walkway, nice replacement for the palletts!! Nice to see the orange baskets in use.

I had fun playing but a lot of the grass is really high so it is VERY hard to find your disc. There were a lot of bugs and the path was nice but outside of it was messy. And the construction closed some of the holes.

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews because these courses are fantastic.
There are 3 tee placements on all holes making these courses fun and challenging for all levels of play.
There are a couple of raised baskets on East and West has a lot of the original holes with a couple new basket placements about 100' beyond their original placements. The layouts are easy to follow with new pathways and clear signage. All white and black teepads have signs that show the fairway, distance, and any elevation.
This park even shovels teepads in the winter.
