This was a super fun course to play.
It goes Hills, woods then distance. Not strictly but kinda.
A lot of care has been taken to hole placement and trees and terrain features to maximize funess. Once this place has some better signage and the non-tossers acclimate to the course; this will be an A grade course

Pros: Love having a local course that is a step up from Brys. The sledding hill holes are challenging, and the elevated basket is a nice obstacle that I do not see very often. The new chainstars are ... show more ›

Pros:
Love having a local course that is a step up from Brys. The sledding hill holes are challenging, and the elevated basket is a nice obstacle that I do not see very often. The new chainstars are nice, but you need to hit those chains hard to guarantee you won't get a spit-out. Fun to take my dog with me.

Cons:
I know it's new, but we need some teepads. The ground where the teepads are supposed to be is getting worn, and muddy. This is the only thing I would change. The walkers occasionally get in the way, but this is rarely much of an issue.

Summary:
My new home course. Can't wait to see what they do with it. Keep up the good work.

Great use of limited space and geography in a small city park. Good mix of long and short holes, left and right shots, and elevation changes. Also I enjoy the use of a mando and manufactured island gr ... show more ›

Great use of limited space and geography in a small city park. Good mix of long and short holes, left and right shots, and elevation changes. Also I enjoy the use of a mando and manufactured island green. There will be some learning curve for the neighbors and other park guests, but that is to be expected when placing a course in a well established and busy city park.

The course has a couple really nice holes, a couple holes with silly lines, and a handful of gimmicks. At times there can be too many people at the park to safely throw every shot. I thought there wer ... show more ›

The course has a couple really nice holes, a couple holes with silly lines, and a handful of gimmicks. At times there can be too many people at the park to safely throw every shot. I thought there were a couple of really cool holes but overall I was turned off by a handful of holes with no real good lines and the 45 degree greens. The baskets are obviously great but my first thought is ‘I wish these baskets had gone to a nicer course’ I think an 18 hole layout would have increased the potential to build a sweet course. It’s a decent course to go play a fun round but not a great course for competition IMO.

Really liked this course. Super nice new baskets, some huge elevation shots, well thought out OB, an island shot and a raised basket are some highlights. Also a nice well maintained indoor area with ... show more ›

Really liked this course. Super nice new baskets, some huge elevation shots, well thought out OB, an island shot and a raised basket are some highlights. Also a nice well maintained indoor area with bathrooms, and places to picnic or grill. Drawbacks are that there are two pads for each basket, and it the course was fit into a smaller area that would be desired (but done well). Also it's in a park so the area is shared, we had to play around a kids party where they were walking a horse in circles on a fairway and Woody from Toy Story was running around! Definitely worth the ride out to Eastpointe to play this one.

A much needed breath of fresh air on the east side of Detroit. Elevation changes, hillside greens, protected fairways, island green, and blind tee shots, all in an amazing public park. Air-Conditioned halfway house/clubhouse with fresh water and bathrooms. Oh the Possibilities, this will be a mainstay to the locals young and old and travelers alike, come on out and shoot on the brand new Candy Apple Red DISCRAFT CHAINSTAR PROS. Get Out and Throw. Par is 72 with 24 tee pads on 12 basket locations.

Clean park. Challenging holes. Excellent facility. Good use of space. Equally as good for conditioning as well as honing your game. Even though all of the holes are well thought out, I feel the layout could have been better for all levels of play and not cater toward the advanced level of play. In other words, I would play here often if I didn't have to cross train up and down the hill 7 times for 51/2 holes times 2. Preferably it would be a flat 9×2, 18 hole with an optional 3×2, 24 hole. This could be easily achieved by taking one hole off of the hill and placing on the flat along the street line. Other than that, good job to the guys, now let's hold some fundraisers for those tee-pads.

Nice job, guys!! A good mix of challenging, two shot holes and a welcome addition to the east side. Players have been hungry for another solid course to frequent and this is it. I’m surprised the ci ... show more ›

Nice job, guys!! A good mix of challenging, two shot holes and a welcome addition to the east side. Players have been hungry for another solid course to frequent and this is it. I’m surprised the city let you guys use so much of the park, which is almost too good to be true. I’ve already seen two instances of “hey I wanna start playing, too”, a result of the butterfly effect of someone’s hard work combined with people getting the word out (a beautiful thing). Fingers crossed that all players and park goers keep it positive out there so that the course can exist and improve for a long, long time...
