I LOVE this place! It has a little bit of everything from elevation to flat holes, to some technical shots to some open drives! Holes for lefty, right, or side arms, as well as anything in between!

The course is very well maintained, the stairs, wood structures, benches, are also an amazing highlight to this little slice of heaven! There isn't a course around that's as well maintained as this one.

I highly recommend Hammond Hill to the beginner as well as the professional! You even have a gorgeous view of water on a couple holes, a bike trail, a porta potty that is there year round, changing rooms, and four practice holes when you first pull in! I have been to fallasburg, smash park, all of those and they are c rated compared to hammond hill!!! They don't even compare!!

Hands down the best layout I have ever played, all of the holes were challenging yet never unfair, lots of tricky lines and some good elevation. Rewards a well rounded game and rewards the ability to scramble. Only flaws I have is that the sinage could be better and I think it would be smart to have two baskets on each hole instead of rotating through the pin positions each month

One of Michigan’s very best course. Extremely well maintained. Practice baskets. Alternate pin placements. Massive elevation changes provide a high fitness environment. Greenery abounds Hammond Hill so be prepared to spot when you can and make sure to bring your all around game. Looking to stretch out your round? There are plenty of comfortable accommodations along the track for players to rest up and maybe take in exceptional lake views. Creative seating arrangements along with multiple benches and tables adorn #7’s tee pad. I can’t say enough about how much love goes into Hammond Hill and cannot wait until my next round in Hastings, MI.

To have a good time at this course you have to start with the back 9. It is mostly open fields and out of the woods. on the other hand the front 9 is deep into the woods. you will need to ware pants because of the thorn bushes and bugs. the great thing about this course is the people who play it. I have lost 3 discs there and each time I lost one I've gotten a call the day of or the day right after. It is such a friendly scene!

Great piece of land. Hole design is artful. Michigan plantlife is usually in constant struggle with people's effort to beat-in a disc golf course. Volunteer crew efforts are showing nicely, including crafty rest spots. Pin placements vary to give repeat players a different challenge. More play will bring better play. I'll put this course on my second-circle of local courses.

Played Hammond Hill for the first time this weekend and really enjoyed it! Make sure to bring a spotter if you're new to the course as there are many blind shots. Beware, the mosquitoes are horrible here, as well as the brush/rough along the fairways. Lost one of my favorite drivers on the course but that will not deter me from coming to play again. This is a nice gem hidden in the middle of nowhere (like most great courses). Great use of land for a course. Direction signs between holes would be quite helpful as well.

There have been a lot of improvements made here. The addition of the short tees, a staircase on hole one leading down to the basket(tremendous help!) Brand new baskets, next tee signs. The course is well manicured and from what I have heard from the locals. The voltunteers went through and sprayed the course for mosquitos. This is one of the nicest courses in south west lower Michigan.

Fantastic course! It is a monster to walk through (pretty much treat it like you are hiking through a nature trail). Really fun to play, challenging holes, pretty surroundings. The only reason it is not an A is because it can be a little difficult to see where some of the baskets are. I can't wait to play again!

Great course! Hammond HILLS is an appropriate name seeing as you are almost never on flat ground. The front 9 is a classic hilly, tightly wooded, wonderfully challenging course. The back 9 is almost completely opposite with nice rolling hills on openish holes. Don't relax though because the pin placements ( especially on B layout) are purposefully tough, usually lying behind tree bunches or around blind corners. So bring a guide or walk up alot. The different basket positions are fun and keep it interesting. No water at the park, so bring some as you will need it. Good amount of benches and trashcans and really amazing upkeep are icing on top of a great course. It may be a bit out of the way, but well worth it! Be sure to hit up the Waldorf too for a beer and good food afterwards.

Front 9 was fun to play. Back 9 sucked my a$$. Weeds were to tall. Lost 2 discs. Legs got all tore up looking for them. Fairways were only mowed 2 feet wide. Pins were put in ridicules spots. None of the sign had what par was. The score card box was at the end of the 1st hole which of coarse was empty.

Pin locations for longs are great. Course is very well maintained. There's always something that's been improved every time I go. Wood chips on hole 1 allows you to walk down the hill. Clearing on 15 is what all wooded holes should look like (clear out the small crap and leave everything that's a couple inches thick). Honestly after playing it yesterday, this may be my second favorite course behind BlueGill.

Not only a well balanced course for Righty's and Lefty's...it has the challenge of elevation change in every hole. It would be tough to design a better course for the land that was provided. Front nine is heavily wooded, the back nine is mainly open shots. I like the differences in both front and back. Tall grass can make it difficult to see off the fairway on the back holes. Send a spotter. It is about 30 minutes from Grand Rapids, and 45 Minutes from Lansing, well worth the drive!

I had to play my round here on a time crunch. I was almost head over heals for this course on the first hole. There must be a trick to navigating that hill, but I tried actually walking down the fairway and was lucky to stay upright. Super dangerous...

Other than that, I really enjoyed this course. The long tee pads are all concrete and even though signs showed a second basket location for each hole, it looks like just the short baskets are in the ground.

There were a great mix of elevation changes and fairway widths. Some holes were narrow enough that you had to really focus on accurate drives. Others were wide open so you could really rip it.

I do question the measurements on the signs. Every time I would read the distance, I would pull out a long driver and then I would find the basket and switch it out for more of a control driver.

Fun course, I plan to play it again when I have a little more time. If there is a trick to navigating hole one, I'd love to hear it.

This course is about 40 miles straight west of Lansing. Has excellent layout with ups and downs, Hyzer and anhyzer. There is a posting at the start of the course where the tees are playing from and to. October is Long pads to Alternating Long / Short pins and played tough still. They change up the Tees or baskets once a month and post this on the sign by hole 1. Make sure you read this sign before playing.

There is another way to tell which pin you're throwing to. There is a hole for a small cable / wire to be tied through for A pin and B pin on the bottom of each sign. Which pin has the cable tied through the hole, that pin is the pin placement.

The traffic was very light which made for comfortable golf. We never got bored of any of the shot selections. It seems knowing the course would make your score alot better. Some of the shots are kinda blind so you're not exactly sure what line to take. Knowing the course would make me change my shot selection and would probably save a few strokes.

Another pro is that the first 9 bring you right back to the parking lot so you can go get something to drink if you ran out on a hot day.

I guess this course was worse in the past according to the previous reviews, but it seems to have got alot better. The tee signs are not vandalized and give good representations of the hole. The rough didn't eat any of our discs but did cause us to look for a few minutes sometimes. Play was very smooth.
Cons: Hole 1 is very steep and could be dangerous to climb down for some people. Some might consider the pads to be too short but I think they were just fine.

There is no water on the course but some would consider this to be a pro.


I lost a Yellow Buzz Discraft Elite x Custom Stamp Jbird on hole 17 or 18. I didn't actually lose it I think I just left it in the fairway. If you find it and email [email redacted] that would be awesome.

Great course! I love to travel & play new courses and this was a hidden gem. Good variety of hole length. Good course for drive, fairway drive, app, & putting. Great design. I brought my 1 yr/old, and course is not too stroller friendly. Also, bring your hiking shoes & lots of H2o! Would highly recommend!

A tale of two nines...the front nine has elevation changes, tough shots and terrain, and you play real close to other fairways and players for the first few holes. The back nine opens up a little bit more and feels more like an established course. That first nine is an experience though...it's like they had to put in holes around the walking trails and rough terrain, you have to plan each shot and execute...or you'll end up with 5s, 6s, or even 8's (like I did on #9)

You can definitely tell this course was built on top of old hiking trails. The first few holes feel like they were just squeezed in there but it really starts to become more thought out as you get further through. It's got a great variety in elevation, trees vs. open holes and left/right/straight shots. You'll feel like you've been hiking when you finally finish so bring some good shoes. The long tees are very nice cement slabs. When I played the short tees were vaguely marked with a stick and the short baskets were not in place at all. Overall it's a great course but very out of the way for most people.

Love Hammond Hill! Perhaps being a local makes me biased but who cares tons of improvements have been done since its creation a few years ago and more to come. As has been stated the course offers a variety of birdie opportunities and almost all holes can be par if you plan and execute well. A definite must play. If you haven't been to Hammond recently come check it out again.

Nice variety of shots needed to get through this course. only golfers on course a plus no pedestrians to get in way. nice pads and tee signs. will give anyone who is out of shape a good workout from just walking the course. The rough can get real bad from the looks of it. would bring bug spray. but all in all a great course.

Hammond Hill is a must play now. Many course improvements over the last year: cement pads, signs, rocks (like flip city) and timber lining trails between holes. Great variety or woods, open, elevation, challenging pin placements. Naturally beautiful course with holes that are fun and make you think. PLAY HAMMOND HILL!
