Wow, sounds like somebody had a bad round.

I love Cold Brook. Great variety of shots, good test of accuracy and holding lines, and a good mix of short tech and medium shots with a few longer holes. 18 gets kind of swampy during rainy seasons and thaws, it's the lowest hole there but kind of a cool challenge to clear the water. I've met nothing but friendly and cool people here, and the locals seem to respect the course pretty well. Hole #2 is my favorite shot here.

play this course enough and you will master your mental game. at least that's what al shack, tim weimer, david feldberg, and other great players have done out there. you learn how to roll with the punches. any decent player is physically capable of posting a 18-21 under here on a perfect round. but perfect rounds don't happen here. gotta take what you can get and stay in your game till the last putt goes in. people that call this course luck-based don't know shit. luck might be a big fa ...

Coldbrook is a fun course with a bit of everything. Open, woods, left, right, down, up, elevation, accuracy, distance, water. 24 holes and alcohol is allowed :)
If you are in the area, don't miss this one.

A challenging and well designed 18/24 hole technical wooded course with variety, elevation, tight lines, some blind shots and thick rough. No water hazards. Needs better signage and baskets and a few more trash cans. The varied pads are still decent. The course is in a clean and maintained multi use park with camping and swimming. Opens at 7 am, $5 entrance fee.

I firmly believe if you can hit your lines here, than you can do it anywhere. This coarse has helped produce four world champions. With shoots 250' and in you'll see on numerous coarses in mich. Like any other place, Bring your putter.

Decent course. Could use some new tees and updates, but all in all not bad. A lot of "poke and hope" holes, with only 1 definitive line, which can make repeat rounds kinda boring. Lots of bugs and poison ivy though. If I was up in the area, I'd play it again, maybe with the wife and kiddo before making my way to one of the better local courses for a solo round.

The up hill hyzer with a low ceiling but well kept rough was a welcome first hole and promised an interesting course. A lot of these holes have bird or ace potential and then some of them are just in range for par. A wide variety of holes on some good ground makes for a interesting round of discgolf. $5 for parking is worth it and this course will be played again for sure. The teepads are fantastic and they are marked well too. A couple of the holes play into the others and this could cause ...

This is a great course to practice your finesse game. Shape your shots and roll with the punches. Hit an early tree and test your scrambling skills. Hit a late tree and test your putting skills. Hit all the trees and go meditate on the lakefront beach that sits a hundred feet away from hole#1 basket. Always good people around.

Nice technical course. While many holes are short - the significant elevation changes and line needed for various holes makes it play quite different than a standard 200' "straight" throw. And, lots of obstacles (trees) prevent any easy ace lines to a basket. Holes 21-24 allow for some long drives. Course slightly favors a backhand righty, but for a lefty (me), allows some great opportunity to hone forehand drives that don't require great distance.

Coldbrook is one of the best courses in the area, Leila is not. This course have great variety but to be honest there are local routes you learn as you go. First time was miserable for a European used to open fairways but a few weeks into it, starting to love it! A group of different skill sets would all do well here.

Began playing here in '94. Have heard people say that the course requires luck ever since I started. Strange that most good players have always scored under par consistently. Anyhow, great course for practicing finesse and control. Do not throw big, throw accurate.

Great Course!! But Too many short holes. Only one Tee and Basket for 24 holes , but the park does not allow play on 4 holes (right of way to picnickers) on the weekends. Hole 4 is absolutely gorgeous! A lot of very tight short holes. There are 11 holes under 250 ft. Lots of variety. Up down Left Right Hidden Open. Basket and Next tee a little too close on many holes. I STILL WANT TO GO BACK. (only played 18).

One of the best and most challenging courses in Southwest Lower Michigan. Is a highly technical course so you must have good accuracy to be successful here. Course is mostly flat and has hills on some holes and somewhat rough terrain from the tree roots. Some of the teepads have been redone and they look great. Course navigates really well. No complaints about this course just a few things to make it even better. Those would be: New teesigns most holes you can see the basket from the pad but on ...

Love this place! Fun and Technical! Playing here every week, would make you a better disc golfer and human being! Pros: Coldbrook Park has always been one of the classic Michigan courses that everyone talks about - usually either folks love it or hate it but it seems to have maintained a special character that keeps people coming back. A 'pro' or a 'con' depending on the way you look at it, but Coldbrook demands that you learn lines (some of which are a bit hidden) that yield higher percent ...

I enjoyed this course. Played it on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't very busy. I can imagine on the weekend this course could be very crowded. You would need to be aware where other players were on the course at all times. If you like wooded courses with a bunch of birdie opportunities, this is a must play. I will be back! 91 out of 100.

Great blend of open and wooded holes, elevation, and scenic views, and water only on a few holes. Challenging for all levels of play. Property that is ideal for a disc golf course. Should be on every top 20 list for the state. Camping and swimming amenities on-site.

This course has a few crappy baskets...too small of tee pads, and some of the rudest people I've met in my life at a disc golf course. They allow alcohol out here, so probably why. Have made at least four visits to this course, and always run into some inconsiderate jerks who could care less about etiquette. This course is super technical and can be very frustrating, but it is pretty. If I ever am able to come out here when it's a slow day, maybe wouldn't be so bad.

Course is decent. Not my favorite, not very challenging and most importantly not very fair. Most of the lines are good but too many 200-250 anhyzers down tight lines. Bad kicks and roll-aways can significantly hurt your score as they frequently do. Signage is good and there is a large range of hole distances and varying fairways. My biggest problem with this course is that it seems as though the course is designed for discs that don't fly very far or fast so most holes are just short, tight and not very creative.
