Other Thoughts: I had a lot of fun playing Sage Creek. It's a very beautiful course and I admire the owners and appreciate all the hard work and time they put into their course.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I was invited to check out the course. I've been living out here for over 7 years but never knew this place existed. I used to Google map my neighborhood dreaming up courses and looking for a perfect spot to explore for possibilities of building a course near home one day. I still remember a few years ago looking at aerials of the same area where the course is at and thought it had great potential but gave up after realizing it was all private property and not owned by the city or parks. Little did I know it was right there in front of me the whole time.

I pulled into the driveway and was greeted at the door by 3 cute pups who were excited to see who was going to play in their back yard. They were already sniffing around and checking out what was in my bag when the little one pulled out a disc that he must have wanted me to use on hole one. These dogs must have been trained to find discs by picking up on the scent. I'm already liking this course a lot and I haven't even seen the first hole.

When we walked around the corner to hole one I immediately knew there was something special about this course and the family who lives there. As I was guided throughout the property, I was in awe of all the beautiful land and creative design that was put into this course. The views from the tees, fairways, and baskets were awesome enough hang a picture of them on a wall in your house.

The course has a secluded feel like there is nobody around for miles. Even though we were not technically "up-north" in Michigan, it had that same peaceful setting that I love about disc golf. It kind of reminded me of years ago when I was a kid, playing in the woods along the river behind our old house.

As we continued to the next holes, the course kept getting better and better to the point where I wasn't sure if I was in a dream or what. Every hole was unique and different, even though a couple baskets are shared at the moment. Each hole also had the perfect distance where it was fair but challenging too. The course flow was amazing with the amount of land they had to work with. Epic elevation shots and clever use of the creek and the basket placements made me start to wonder if I had found the designers for the courses I've been working on.

It only kept getting better too! They designed this place to the point where you can use all kinds of shots. Lucky for me I didn't tee off first because I was having trouble deciding which shot and disc I wanted to throw down this awesome course. There were so many possibilities for both lefties and righties.

Before I knew it, we were out there for quite a while and the sun was now beginning to set. I didn't want to leave but it was time to go home. This course is a lot of fun and it's now my favorite course. This place is awesome and I can't wait for the next time.

Thanks so much for the chance to play here and giving me the hope to keep going forward in building other courses. I know how much time and work that goes into a private course and I'm really proud of ya for doing an unbelievable job.

Thanks again,

Donny

If you bleed disc golf as I do than this place has it all. When God gave us disc golf I believe this is the spot he had in mind where the game was to be played. No distractions from the out side world, so peaceful that your can not help but fall in love with this design. It opens with a first shot behind the old cabin, down hill to a beautiful hand crafted wood basket and finishes strong to a blind shot to a hanging basket.

If you bleed disc golf as I do than this place has it all. When God gave us disc golf I believe this is the spot he had in mind where the game was to be played. No distractions from the out side world, so peaceful that your can not help but fall in love with this design. It opens with a first shot behind the old cabin, down hill to a beautiful hand crafted wood basket and finishes strong to a blind shot to a hanging basket. You need to bring all the shots to this heavenly spot cause you are going to need them. Uphill , down hill with the sage creek winding thru the conplete set up. There are Aces to be had but bring both your nerve and skill because the baskets are placed to make you think and respect and fear. The work here was done for the love of the game and it shows in every hole. Congrats Becca you have the hidden gem of Michigan and maybe the country. I have been playing this game since 1980 and have never enjoyed a round such as the one I played at Sage Creek
