Decent variety in types (wooded, open, LH, RH, etc.) and distance of holes
Signs are fairly consistent and straightforward, stating direction, distance and par for each hole
Not many others to contend with on the course. In fact both times I played here nobody else was on the course
Has decent amount of benches and disposal cans
In my opinion, Once past the first 3 holes, this small course possesses a decent fun-factor

Cons: Mahr's Meadow is largely located in the middle of a swamp. If your disc ends up in the rough, not only will you have an incredibly difficult shot, you will more than likely have wet feet. Some of the tees, in fact, tend to collect water.
The tees are dirt/mud/embedded rocks, and can be dangerous. A long piece of lumber marks the front of the tee box and could easily become a tripping hazard, esp. when a discer uses a run-up shot. Oftentimes it is better to shoot beside or behind the designated tee locations
This course is not always well maintained. During my most recent visit, not only were the fairways not mowed, they were simply fully grown dandelion fields, esp. the first three holes.
The first 3 holes consist of simple back and forth shots in an open field (although it does improve in the latter holes)
* A few of the holes use the same space as their respective fairways
Other Thoughts: Again, the fun-factor of this course (which is most important to me) is relatively high. This course could easily become much improved with better, more consistent tees pads. It also seems to be greatly lacking in attention and maintenance. As I was playing the course I often wondered if anybody had even played it in the last month. Overall, it is a decent and fun course for such a small community. Definitely not one of the best courses in the area (i.e. Tower Ridge in Eau Claire), but it is in a convenient location along my sales route, so I play it when traveling through the area.

This course has and over all balance of play, threw woods and long strait drive. Shortest is 140-148ft to the longest +600ft. It has plenty of narrow drives and approaches with a few "annoying" hazard ... show more ›

This course has and over all balance of play, threw woods and long strait drive. Shortest is 140-148ft to the longest +600ft. It has plenty of narrow drives and approaches with a few "annoying" hazards. It has good balance for both backhand and forehand throwers. Overall well maintained and a fun course to play. The only downfalls in my opinion only dirt tees (for now) and definitely don't forget your bug spray.....
