I was just in Grayling a few weeks ago and happened to read a newspaper article about the course opening. I originally went there to visit relatives and check out Hartwick Pines forest. After walking miles at the pines we decided to stop by the Old Dam party store to get some refreshments before going to Hanson Hills Disc golf course. When we got there we were surprised to see that the course was on the side of a ski hill next to ski lifts. Oh boy I thought. There were no tee pads at the time but I still enjoyed the new course. This was the first course I played that had such extreme inclines/declines combined with wooded holes on the top of the hill. You have to be very careful of rollers because of the hills. A disc could roll pretty far on some of these holes. I would recommend bringing some hiking shoes and plenty to drink because you will be out of breath on a lot of the holes. I was too tired from walking earlier that we didn't finish the course, but as we started our decline of the giant hill, I ripped a few drives down the hill and got a few that had to have been close to 600 or 700 foot drives down the hill, which was fun. Next time I'm in Grayling I'll be sure to check out the new pads and actually finish the course. Good job on the challenging design of the course John.
