This course is fantastic. Front 9 features a gravel path connecting each teepad and basket, making it "handicap friendly" while still being challenging and having some fun lines to throw. Mostly wooded front 9. Getting off the fairway in the front 9 however is brutally punishing, some of the rough has deep gullies and downhill sloping areas, while the other side slopes upwards.
The back 9 features some serious elevation gains/losses between teepad and pin, making this end my favorite part. Between 40-100 ft elevation drops on a few holes, super fun to throw while very technically challenging to score! Beautiful view from teepad 16 looking down toward the ski lodge and Lake Superior.
Overall a well groomed course when I visited. Grass was mowed, fairway edges were maintained and clean. Most gravel teepads were fine, a few sloped slightly downhill or uphill but were in decent conditon. With shoes that have decent tread, you should not have a major problem. One of my favorite so far in the UP.

A very challenging course to play. Located along Lake Superior at the ski complex, this course offers 2 different rounds of golf! The front 9 is along a gravel path through mostly wooded areas with a couple open holes. The holes through the woods will make you pay if you are not straight. The open holes make you use different shots due to the various doglegs and blind shots. The back 9 takes you up the hill and back down. Holes 10 through 15 are up hill and through rugged terrain. Holes play longer and allow you to take some big throws because it is more open. But beware, if you end up off in the woods, your score will balloon quickly. The rough is fairly thick if you venture too far from the fairway with your disk, too. You will likely spend some time looking for a disc or two. Hole 16 goes across the hill through a tight opening of trees. Holes 17 & 18 are downhill and allow for some serious air, but, are lined with woods, so keep it in play...The views of Lake Superior from 15-17 are awesome and make the round well worth it. Be prepared to have your game challenged.

Layout is difficult but challenging and could be a lot of fun, however back area is poorly maintained. Front 9 are more wooded, difficult but playable, back 9 are on ski hill, tall grass on the runs, even taller grass on the sides of the wooded areas, and lots of wooded areas. Be prepared to spend lots of time looking for your disc if you get off the ski run. Use bug spray and check for ticks after.

Good range of difficulty in this course, and the baskets are high-quality with double chains. The lower 9 follows a gravel trail and is easy to access for players of all ages, but still has interest with woods and long open drives. The upper 9 is much more challenging and climbs a portion of the ski hill. Beware of wet ground after rain, and it can be easy to lose discs in the tall grass and woods in spite of the course being partially mowed.
