Lake Linden's first 9 holes are more fun and have some more shot variety than the back 9. Back 9 feels a little bland, repetitive. Mostly open course, but several holes do play through or near small wooded areas that will punish errant shots. Two par 3s (16 &17) really test the average advanced player's distance and accuracy. The main difficulty of the course is the weather conditions. Wind can be a strong factor here. Great course for focusing on driving and playing in the wind.

The course has 18 holes and 18 baskets. It's pretty open and not to difficult of a course. Fairways seemed to be pretty maintained and the tee pads were natural pads. I didn't get why some holes had p ... show more ›

The course has 18 holes and 18 baskets. It's pretty open and not to difficult of a course. Fairways seemed to be pretty maintained and the tee pads were natural pads. I didn't get why some holes had pro tees displayed on the signs and no spots to actually throw from. Overall a good cours for ace runs and rec players.

Completely open field, every single basket can be seen from the tee pad with no obstructions anywhere close, except for two holes. Also right next to a lake so the wind never stops, taking your shots ... show more ›

Completely open field, every single basket can be seen from the tee pad with no obstructions anywhere close, except for two holes. Also right next to a lake so the wind never stops, taking your shots all over the place. No challenge every hole is basically the same last choice for courses to play in the U.P.

Really nice signs have been added to all 18 holes which show the yardage and layout of the holes. Although the course is mostly open, it makes good use of the available trees. To my recollection, 10 holes are completely open and 8 have trees in play.
I played recently and noticed that "pro" tee boxes are being added on at least half of the holes which will provide different lengths and angles.
Currently the tee boxes are dirt with a 4 x 4 buried in the ground to mark the end of the box. Poured tee pads would be a great improvement, but I don't mind dirt pads.
I think the course designers have done a good job with the elevation changes and trees available to make this a fun place to play.

Update (6/18/2016) I lowered my original B grade to C+ due to a few negative. 1) Many of the tee signs have been destroyed by vandals. 2) Quite a few tee boxes are in terrible shape and could easily result in a turned ankle. 3) Hole 16 has a mandatory circle "island" landing area however the chalk outline for the circle is a distant memory. 4) The "pro" tees were never developed - this would have added some much needed challenge to this course.

Great layout for how open the course is. Most of the holes are almost completely unobstructed so any line can be taken, which makes the course a bit monotonous. 9 more holes were just installed that c ... show more ›

Great layout for how open the course is. Most of the holes are almost completely unobstructed so any line can be taken, which makes the course a bit monotonous. 9 more holes were just installed that change this up a bit. Some of the new holes actually have brush in play. The long holes make for some nice driving practice. Definitely the best course in the Keweenaw. Unfortunately the tees are only marked by piece of wood at the front of the tee, the "tees" are just dirt. Most of them are littered with jagged rocks as well. I routinely mess up my drives from stepping into a divot, stepping on the wood marker, or stepping on a rock. Thankfully I've yet to hurt myself from pivoting on a rock. The course is actually challenging despite its openness; so if you find yourself stuck in the Keweenaw, this is the place to go. If concrete tee pads get installed, this is easily a B-.

Very high quality baskets installed and the designers paid attention! The terrain is well-utilized and there are plenty of opportunities to show off your drives and technical skills. With some holes having a range of 400+ feet, this is great place to get your max distance driver out and let 'er rip.

Very good use of space. 9 more holes are planned. Best baskets around: Discraft Chainstar that have been powder-coated blue and gold, sweet! Open course for the most part so you can let it rip, esp. o ... show more ›

Very good use of space. 9 more holes are planned. Best baskets around: Discraft Chainstar that have been powder-coated blue and gold, sweet! Open course for the most part so you can let it rip, esp. on 4 but enough obstacles to keep it interesting. New signs have been put in place since July 4th. More signage is needed and will be coming. Dozens of rounds are being played daily, great for an area that had never heard of disc golf just a year ago. Poured pads are planned down the road. Course is only a year old and has a lot of room to grow. A great start!
