Loved it. Felt like an “up north” course. Lots of variety and changes in elevation.

Glad I played it but I’ll likely never bother with it again. The layout is very unsafe. We were repeatedly required to throw over tee pads for the Beast course, roads that cars travel on, and some pedestrian walkways. To make things worse, many of these shots were blind. Someone in my group was struck by a disc because our fairway intersected with another one from Beast. With all of the available land, perhaps the ideal solution would be to combine the best of Beast & Goliath into one course.

Great course with tons of variety throughout. Had no issues with teepads on any hole, there were no poor baskets. Even with minimal Udisc use the layout was easy to understand and you knew what and where to throw just by stepping up to the teepad.

Even with minimal Udisc use the layout was easy to understand and you knew what and where to throw just by stepping up to the teepad. This course is closer to Lake Michigan than the Beauty which makes wind a huge factor during the round.
Compared to the Beauty, the rough on this course could use a little more cleanup. Coupled with the longer total hole distance than the Beauty ...

Everyone should know that the entrance gate opens at 9 am. However there is parking space before the gate and you can start on hole 6 or 7. “Next tee” small red directional signs are helpful but UDisc is beneficial on this course. Shorter holes are still challenging with the trees and elevation on each hole. Cement pads are too short and need updating. No water hazards but the OB road comes into play on some holes. Wind off the lake can be a factor.

Love the elevation changes of this course! Its so scenic with Lake Michigan being right there, but a lot of wind to deal with because of that. If I had a complaint, it would be some of the fairways seemed kind of unreasonably tight, and the teepads were pretty short for my liking, but otherwise I enjoyed the course immensely. Could easily make a day of it if you're playing Beauty as well!

A variety of holes including short and moderately long, mildly hilly and flat, open and guarded. It is ideal for the short course surgeon, and yet it does require precision on long shots, a couple of which involve boundaries - namely, the main access road which dissects the course. Layout is fair, although I do not like the necessity of cutting from 17 to D through 18's fairway, a headache in tournament play.

One of the best courses in Michigan. One of Michigans earliest courses. Great elevation changes with duece opportunities. The first course I ever played where every hole had a different feel. The Original Beauty was an A+ and as good as Flip City. Job well done Jeff Schwass.

Wow, tough course yet very fun! I am not a fan of the course criss crossing and sharing baskets with Beast. For first timers to the course it is very confusing and I had it in the back of my mind that I was going to throw into a group not knowing they were approaching the same basket. But that being said, the course was still excellent!

Beast is just purely awesome. It's first hole is one of my favorites ever, you will see when you get there (it also makes for the perfect spot to watch the sun set). It is the middle of the three courses in length and difficulty. You will be using almost all discs in your bag for this one. It's just another one of those courses that are perfect and must be played if you can.
There are "Next Tee" signs that really help in navigating the course. I just got confused at first because the "Next T ...

Goliath is one of the best and most challenging courses in Michigan. Goliath is definitely the most difficult of the three in Mason County Park. The holes play to Beast and Beaty baskets in the opposite order, with some baskets specifically set for Goliath. This makes for many different new looks and sceneries. It's really quite the accomplishment that the desiger was able to fit three courses in the park.
There are some monster holes of 700+ feet that really let you open up and some that are ...

Course shared basket with the other two courses at the park (beauty, and goliath). Truly a "Navigation Nightmare" as written on one of the holes. No scorecards, and no map is provided. For a first time disc golfer at this course, expect to get loss with out a map or sense of where to go. Great technical course otherwise.

Course designers of this and Beast are world class. Your imagination to utilize this land and make two epic course using the same baskets.. mind blown.. Must play course, i can't wait to do it again.
Tee pads, lack of top notch amenities and some substantial navigational issues (understandable) are the only thing keeping this course off my "perfect" list.
Follow the green rocks to next tee! Very helpful...However word to the wise get a map from DG course Review, we would not have made it through this monster without it.

Longer than Beauty, it's a challenge. Lots of tees require long placed shots for birdie opportunities. Discing with a local will help find your way, some of the next tee markers are missing, but having the State Championships there next week will improve conditions.Wind off Lake Michigan makes it more difficult.

Shorter technical course, lots of trees to maneuver around, but definitely a course to score on. Distances are a bit off, and can be hard to find the right path to follow. Somehow jumped from 9 to 13 and had to do some walking to figure out where we went wrong.

Beauty is one of my most favorite and most hated courses! I've never taken so many OB shots (over or on the road) during a tournament as at Beauty. I've also never hit so many trees in the woods! But the course is amazing, and on a good day everything comes together. 24 holes, and if I'm playing Beauty I'm either at the State Championships or in Ludington on vacation... so always a GREAT time.

A challenging course, as are all of them in Ludington, a must play for any Michigan disc golfer.

The big green rock that marks the start of Goliath is an icon of disc golf for me. This is the only course in Ludington that I actually hit an ace at (a blind hole at that) so I can't really say anything bad about it. If I was only playing one course at Mason County, it would be Beauty - but this is a great course as well. A- but for many I would expect this is an A course.

My friend and I walked around for about 45 mins just trying to find the first hole of beauty. I knew there was 3 separate courses there but it was very difficult to find what I wanted. I definitely enjoyed myself once I was on the course but there was no map or anyway for me to find my way. Some of the baskets were marked with the wrong number and I found A B and C but not D E and F. I guess I would go back and hopefully Beast is better. And also the holes were pretty long for a beginner course (which is what my partner was)

Tees aren't so great and there's no water hazards, despite being so close the Lake Michigan. Beautiful indeed, and full of challenging and rewarding ace-runs and deuce shots. I think I prefer it as a cool down round off of Goliath more than as a warm-up. Well worth the drive from anywhere if you have the time.
