Perkins Park

Pros: Long course compared to others in the Green Bay area. Painted wooden posts for the tee areas. There are signs with arrows after each basket to help navigate the course. Course is almost entirely grass and very flat. There are only 9 baskets, but most of the alternate tees are different enough to make it feel like a full 18 holes (much more varied tee placement than Pamperin).

Pros: Long course compared to others in the Green Bay area. Painted wooden posts for the tee areas. There are signs with arrows after each basket to help navigate the course. Course is almost entirely grass and very flat. There are only 9 baskets, but most of the alternate tees are different enough to make it feel like a full 18 holes (much more varied tee placement than Pamperin). Some of the alternate tees are hundreds of feet away from each other, so there is a completely different fairway to shoot. None of the holes are completely open. There are always large trees present but never thick brush or bushes.
Cons: There is a lot of walking between holes, often a hundred feet or more. Sometimes you must cross other fairways or walk along them in order to get to the next tee. If you crave elevation change, you won't find it here. A few of the signs' measurements are clearly off by 25-75 feet. Some of the direction signs point in a baffling direction (in times when the reds and blues are in opposite directions, there will be an arrow pointing between the two locations, and therefore pointing at neither of them).
Other Thoughts: Playing the course as 18 holes is easy, unlike Pamperin, each 9 is not necessarily the short or long 9. Blues and reds take turns having the longer holes. With concrete or brick teepads, and maybe some logs to line the fairways and walking routes, this course could become the best in the Green Bay area. Good variety of holes in a nice park.
