This is a fun course that is not without some teeth. Most holes allow different shot shaping, a few require a specific shot to score "easily." Hit the line, you'll be fine. Scramble opportunities are there throughout this wooded course, but you might need some luck.
In the woods, the fairways are riddled with small stumps and rocks. Watch your step when navigating the course.
Some fairways are bordered by piles of logs and large branches from previous trimmings that were never removed. Those should go. A lie on one of those piles could be a safety hazard in terms of footing. Some of those piles have really heavy logs.
Also, this course needs some general updating on discgolfscene.com for continuity.

Decent layout. Challenging for most skill levels. The short holes are great for new players and encourage control and precision for higher skill levels. Unfortunately the course isn't very well maintained. The tees are absolutely terrible and some are basically unusable. I routinely throw from off the tee on many holes. The tees are rubber mats that are somehow slick no matter if they're dry or wet. Some of them aren't level and they're all too short. Also, the baskets aren't actually in the ground. Thankfully, it's in Houghton and if anyone were to steal a basket the whole disc golf community would probably find out who stole it rather quickly. My rating of a D mostly comes from the condition of the tees. If concrete pads were installed, I'd give it a C or B-. Definitely well thought out for how little land was available.

Solid technical course, but could use a little more maintenance. It is often muddy in the Spring or after rainfall. Hole 9 tends to have muck around the basket, and there is often standing water on 2 and 3 as well. Lots of trees and poorly blazed fairways (little stumps everywhere) make this course a pain to navigate at times. In any case, this is a great place to hone your technical skills. You should have a good forehand AND backhand shot if you wish to be successful.
