This course, where do I begin...it's rugged, hill & long. This is just about what my fellow michiganders wish we had more of. This course is situated next to a school near the downtown Mandan. It is probably one of the hilliest places in the area which makes for a good course. The average hole length is 520 feet, that is not an estimate, I did the math!! The layout I played was par 66 and I shot 68 or+2. Considering hole insanely windy it was that was pretty good.

Pros: each holes has good baskets & good big cement pads (some holes you play off the walking path). There was mowed out fairways. The elevation changes are amazing! I has some epic holes both up & down hill. Super challenging! I think pros would have fun with this. True par 4s & 5s.

Cons: Not too many but, the rough is ROUGH! If you get off the fairways there are picker bushes, super tall grass & some dastardly trees that make it hard to retrieve your disc. There were a few holes that were hard to navigate to. Hole 5 was one such hole. I ended up accidentally playing to 7s basket before I realized I was going the wrong way. If you play this course on a windy day like I did it is really f'n hard!

Overall super cool course, rugged terrain, cool course design, fun & challenging. I would definitely play this course again. I definitely recommend this course to intermediate players & up. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER FRIENDLY COURSE!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!

Recommendations: The biggest thing it needs is "next tee this way" signs. Or, on the basket spray paint the section that points to the next hole. There area few in MI that do it and it works great. DO NOT GO IN THE ROUGH! It is nasty, I am surprised I didn't lose any discs. Don't play it in a wind storm! That was a hard ass round but worth it!

Man if you are driving through NoDak for some reason you got to stop here. Right of I94, Easy access. The designers and city put a lot of work into this place. Grass and rough is thick but the fairways and greens are always mowed and in good order. The elevation changes here are fantastic! One hole rivals the "top of the world shot" at whistlers bend. Definitely not as big but probably the 2nd biggest down hill shot i have thrown. If you really wanna have fun. Go up on top of the road towards the church. You have 3 epic down hill shots to choose from. But it is very easy to lose discs here. Laying up is key. The only problem is natural tees(not concrete), usually windy, and signage not the best. But overall great shots here

This is one of the most challenging courses I have ever played. The rough is so thick, losing a disc is very easy to do. Last time I played here, I lost three discs in the first 12 holes. Laying up ... show more ›

This is one of the most challenging courses I have ever played. The rough is so thick, losing a disc is very easy to do. Last time I played here, I lost three discs in the first 12 holes. Laying up is the key. Take the safe shot. Lots of uneven terrain and lots of elevation changes, be prepared for a hike. A little more work and this course would be amazing. Lots of memorable and unique holes with a lot of variety. I'm slightly biased as this park was my backyard as a child, it's nice to still be able to play in it.
