This course has been neglected in the past, but has gotten a complete overhaul over the last few months. It's a great little technical course with improvements in the works. It's only going to get better. The overgrown unplayable days are a thing of the past. It's getting the love it deserves now. Check it out.

Poor course management has led to this promising disc golf course to fall into shambles. For several summer seasons now, the fairways remain unkempt and grass quickly grows to knee-high length thus diminishing a number of fairways entirely besides a few single-person wide walking paths through the grass. A few storms came through this spring knocking trees down on the course. The trees laying across fairways were cut into logs, however the logs still remain where they came to rest on the fairway. Several other trees that came down are in dangerous positions, only being held up by another tree it is leaning against. The city of Wausau, where course is located, has an active disc golf scene with its own Facebook page (W.A.D.G.E.) however there is no sign of an organized course management. I have seen simple requests for volunteers made by other systems of course management on their courses being successful but not even this has been organized for Yellow Banks Park. It seems responsibility for this course is gone. If you decide to come play here, bring discs that you won't care to lose.

Way to overgrown on a few of the holes, and ridiculous water hazards. I didn't loose a disc and I appreciate water hazards, but overshooting a hole by 10 feet on multiple holes will end up in a pretty sizable river - dumb layout. The course does offer a variety of shots, and some holes are fairly picturesque. Watch out for the tripping hazards thought.

Yellowbanks is a fun, yet challenging course. The condition of the course has been gradually improving since it's inception in 2011, thanks to the hard work of the Wausau Area Disc Golf Enthusiasts. Tee pads will be leveled and rubber mats installed in the spring of 2013. Although many of the locals play all 9 holes as par 3's, it would be fair to state that both holes 5 and 7 play as par 4. As previous review stated, this course is heavily wooded and has water hazards (in the form of a large creek) on holes 4, 5, and especially 6.
