It had been about 3 years since I last played Goldenrod. It was an okay course, as I remember it. Probably a B-/C+ rating. After playing it recently, I would have to bump it up to an A. The cement teepads are very nice, although they all needed to be swept (not a reason to downgrade them). Tee signage was very good. It seemed that nearly all, if not most, the tees had a picnic table & a trash can. Always a fan of the 9-hole loop to the parking lot, so no change here. The only drawback was the "climb" from hole 10 to hole 11, but not all that bad for a cart. The opening up of a "fairway" for hole 13 was a nice touch, taking a once completely blind hole and offering a frisky option to the pin. Thanks to all those responsible. You now have a gem of a course.

Lots of risk it for the birdie or take par holes with lots of water throughout. Definitely helps to play with someone who has/does play frequently because you could easily end up in the water if you aren't aware of where it is. Also tee signage seems to have been ripped down by what I would guess is visitors of the park. Lastly, some signage to direct players to the tees in certain spots would be great.

There’s lots of traffic so you have some backups and litter, but Goldenrod is just awesome. The deep woods, and river and swamps make for mosquitos and lost discs but it also makes it a gem. (Updated) Love the new tee pads and signage. I love about 75% of the new basket locations. I miss old hole 1,8,11 tho

Numerous water/river holes=high risk/reward. An accomplishment in and of itself to make it through without losing a disc. 1st time players should scout each hole before playing. An interesting and challenging course with a little bit of everything. The new layout has even more water challenges! Holes are longer with more variety. The new cement pads are great, hopefully the course will get new baskets soon. Next tee sign directions are helpful. The park is well maintained by staff. Can get buggy in the summer. Plenty of parking, porta johns and trash cans.

Only a couple things keep it from being an A. Definitely needs concrete pads, and the signage needs improvement. Showing the water hazards would be nice as many are blind from the tee, and the signs had two yardages as if there were two teepads which there were not. Otherwise a pretty nice course, wooded and technical.

This Course is a NIGHTMARE for Backhand Throwers, but for those who use primarily Forehand Throws, the layout definitely favors you. Im a Backhand Thrower, so I welcomed, and sometimes even thrived in, the challenge. The ONLY reason this Course didnt score an A- or above? MOSQUITOES! Even w/ Bug Spray, you are doomed! More Mossies than Ive EVER experienced on a Disc Golf Course. Just horrible... so be prepared!

This has become one of my favorite Michigan courses. Many tight short and long shots through the woods. Lots of little OB ponds to make you pay attention.There are no tee pads. The highlight is the Eagle's nest that sits in a tree right above the fairway. One of the adult's landed in the nest during my last round there.

This is a super sick course I love to play. They have utilized every part of the property. And have lots of natural hazard bring water, elevations, and trees into play. Like the way some fairways break and good basket placements. Course will eat discs more so when waters up! If you have never played here I would walk it first cause I found out the hard way where some of the water is and got really lucky not to hit it a few other time. The paths at this course and it terrain make it very unique. If your looking to up the challenge than go play this course. Thanks for all the rounds I'll be back!

Playing at this course would make anyone a better disc golfer. A round here requires a lot of risk vs. reward decision making. There are a lot of different shots required and variation between open and wooded. It did feel like most holes lean toward an accurate lefty or forehand thrower. My two complaints about the course are the rubber mat tee pads. They were a solid sheet of ice when I played. And all of the vandalism and graffiti. There was not a singe sign in place on the course. Playing on my own, I needed to walk every hole before I could throw my drive to figure out where the basket was. Of course, playing with a local would have helped a lot. This course reminds me of Grand Woods in Lansing with a few more open shots.

One more note. If you plug the address listed on this site into your GPS it may take you to a park with a BMX track in the front. This is not the disc golf park. Go just a little farther north and it is on the other side of the road. Coming from the south, I drove around the BMX park for over a half hour looking for a basket or tee pad.

Cement tee pads and signage would elevate course to B+. Lack of D then prevents course from achieving A status. Well defined course, separated from non disc areas is awesome. Loved the signage all along highways to park helping with my first time trip there. Very little little, great technical skills required. Looking very forward to next round here.

Great course, if you don't have a straight shot, don't play this course! If you only have 1 or 2 discs, don't play this course because you will lose one if not two! Tee pads blow, but everything can't be perfect! Yeah they're slick, just have to adjust like anything else, well groomed, planned out course. YOU ARE IN MI, BUGS ARE NOT NICE IN SUMMER TIME!!

I like the course. It features chainstars and great scenery, theres also an eagles nest to be seen on hole 9 (i think not sure on the hole). Quite a few of the holes are well designed, Quite a few, just seem "put in". Some of the lines to hit are just ridiculously tight, even with a great shot you could easily hit a tree. Thing about this course is it seems to be more luck than skill on several holes. Most of the holes are great providing with tough lines yet still doable, and several easy holes that could be hit as easily by pro's as ams. The teepads arent the greatest but are good when its dry. Bugs are an issue but where arent they. Overall if your in the area give it a play but I wouldn't drive out of your way.

Goldenrod is a great 18 hole course, sort of a figure eight shape so that you go by your car for beverages every 9 holes. A couple of really long holes, but this is mainly a tight technical course with woods, water hazards and plenty of OB. I've tossed many a disc into Flint River. There are a couple of nice short holes that can be aced by almost anyone (which is nice), porta-johns and a dumster on site, pretty much everything you would need. As of 04/14/2012 The Flint Town Flyerz have cleaned it up, and a lot of the tee pads have been spruced up.

This is a great course made for all!!! bugs like you in the summer! alot of water but did not lose a disc! the course had alot of trees and i hit my share but if you dont get rattled you can do alright. Thier is alot of right shots alot more than Left but you have to shoot that way some time. all in all i would come back! drove 176 miles both ways from lansing.

I play this B+ a lot because it has to be one of the most challenging courses besides being close. Not challenging because of its design but because of its lack of! Tee pads are rubber and slightly pathetic. Be prepared for mosquitoes in the summer. Lots of mid day traffic here too so get out early. Be prepared to bring your most disciplined game or you will hit 9 billion trees and lose at least 1 disc.
