As of July 2013 redesigned as a 20 hole course with Chainstar baskets. Very well groomed, pretty easy to follow trails with natural posts and simple tee and directional signs.Made from years of love for the property and disc golf from the designer and builder Ron Peludat. The City Of AuGres owns the property and is VERY receptive to advancing the course more than ever. Many are promoting the idea of a Pavilion, walking and bike trails, additional parking and more. In other words, a really great ...

very interesting. have never been to a course that has poles instead of baskets. most of you were right about the sweet noise that the hollow poles make. got my first ace here so i thought it was pretty sweet. good mix of long and short holes. not much variation in right or left, in other words a lot of straight away holes. got lost going from hole 12 to 13. was kinda confusing. overall i enjoyed myself. it was nice to get to a course away from the normals i usually go to

Made our way back up to East Tawas again this summer and of course I brought my bag with me so I could get my out-of-state disc golf fix. I was pleasantly surprised when driving up 23 towards Tawas to see a sign that lets travelers know about the course. Good work! Pulling up to the course I was also glad to see a big, colorful, and very easy to read course marquee. The maps are a welcome addition too. The front side looked great. Fairways were cut and easy to navigate. Nice job on th ...

Diverse and flat, well maintained and challenging 20 hole course. The front 9 is longer and more open with pines dotting the landscape. Shot placement in landing zones is necessary on a few holes. Nice basket placement next to guardian trees. The back 11 holes are shorter (except hole 20), heavily wooded, tight and technical. Tee signs are misleading on some holes but next tee signs and bright blue trash cans at the next pads aid navigation. The diamond dust pads are adequate but uneven on a few ...

Very fun course. Great mix of short and long holes with some tight technical shots and some wide open for the big arms. Course flows very nicely and has a good balance of righty and lefty friendly holes. With some time to get beat in followed by the addition of cement pads and more detailed tee signs, this course will be perfect. Very much worth the drive to play the new and improved course.

This course is an impressive example of local dedication to a sport. All of the holes are well marked, the marking is consistent, and the fairways were trimmed. I walked the course, but left them money for what I saw being done. Excellent work, can't wait to get back up there and play. Note to the disc golf gods: yes, I should have left the disc where I found it. No, I was not upset that you took the disc back. To the dude whose disc I found then lost, sorry.

Big props to the designers of this course for using the land well to create a good final design. This course continues to grow each time I visit it, but it still has a lot of potential to achieve. Obviously, tee pads and tee signs are needed. Maintenance has got to be very difficult in this area, but it's a big playing factor. The grass is overgrown anywhere that's not the direct fairway. I know this course is still new, but the fairways REALLY need to be cleared on the wooded holes. Walking thr ...

Came down from Tawas and found improvements from last year. The tee signs and next tee signs really helped. Like the idea of the pond on 20. Too bad this is the only one around but glad it is as good as it is.

Great course. Vacationing near oscoda. Only about a 35 minute drive. Very easy to navigate. Nice mix of righty and lefty holes. Same with open field and technical shots. Definately going to make a trip back up to play. Had a pretty decent day shooting a +4 playing everything as par 3

This course is gonna be awesome when completed and is a joy to play now. All us am3 types are sure gonna find it next to impossible to score an even par round. It will be at least an A- course when completed.

Nice little gem to stop at heading north to Tawas/Oscoda area. Someone has obviously put a lot of time into this. Very challenging, especially the front. You will use pretty much every shot you have, especially rollers. Will definitely be back!

Nice course played it last year when it was just the big posts, nice new back nine would be cool to see some of the old holes with some baskets too, can't wait to see it when it's all finished!

Very nice course well maintained. Good design flows nice. Good variety of shots.
Would rate higher but no elevation or water really not like anyone can help that it used to be an airport. It's a must play lots of hard work gets put in out there and it shows

Great course! The only issue is POISON IVY. It's everywhere. Try to go on a day where it's not too hot because you might want to wear long pants. It's in the fairway and the woods so laying in the grass probably isn't the smartest idea. The course itself is a lot of fun though if it wasn't for that and all the mosquitoes. It starts out on a mound with widened trails and woods along the edges and then progresses into a wooded course once you get toward hole 10. Ends up shooting at hole 20 all ...

Very well maintained course! Amature and pro pars. Love this course! Worth the drive! Good mix of short and long range shots. Dirt pads, but well maintained. I actually prefer them over cement pads.

One of my favorite places to play. Nice long dives and a some harder ones once you get in the woods. Great 20 holes everyone is different

This is a fantastic course. The redesign and installation of baskets have made this a must-play course. There is plenty of variety here from hole to hole, it is sure to be one of your favorite rounds.

Drove up from GR to play this course and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. If you want to challenge yourself try this course. The transition from somewhat open shots to wooded golf is one of my favorite things about this course and worth checking out.

Pros:
Trash bags at every hole, plenty of seats, well-kept fairways and lots of shade.

Cons:
Far away from my house, natural pads (when dry they're still great)

See you again soon!

Nice course with a real "up north" feel. The woods holes are a challenge, but there's a lot to like.

I only got to play in the rain. I look forward to getting up there on a dry day!

This 20 hole course is a gem. It is a flat land course with a great mix of tight technical holes and big open holes to just send it. On all tee pads are signs of the hole layout which is very helpful. Aside from the course itself the people ate friendly and plenty of nature and wildlife to take in.

Dirt tees, not bad holes for the tees. poor signage. not a bad course. not hard to follow more or less. worth a trip for sure. this doesn't affect the rating Bill left a disc behind and when he went back for it none of the groups he encountered had it, yeah right, it wasn't where he left it. Orange mamba name and number on it.

Nice fall round. Mix of open and tight wooded holes. Natural tee pads were very flat, grippy and in terrific condition. Benches, trash receptacles, and next tee markers were in abundance. Navigation was simple. Some tee signs needed replacing, as wear has made them difficult to use with parts worn or torn away. This is a tight course and tree hits and kicks will come into play. I did not find the lines unfair, but your technical game will be tested...along with your scramble game. Very l ...

A lot of potential for this course, I love the old school poles, but this course would highly benefit from some baskets and concrete tee pads. Lots of space to correct mistakes, but also some fun technical holes.

After playing several mountainous courses over the past few weeks (Myles, Hickory, Avalanche), I was really looking forward to playing a flat, level course for a change. Well, it was flat, I'll give it that. One of the other good things about it was how well it was maintained. The signage was laminated paper, but it was very effective in giving an idea of the shape of the hole. The Next Tee signage was ever-present & certainly helped lead the way to then next teepad. The teepads were some s ...

Course is in good shape with adequate signage, a gross porta-potty and plenty of garbage cans. The actual course is about 50% throw and pray holes through the woods with no real line to follow and zero inkling to any fairway. Personally not my cup of tea.

This course quickly just became one of my favorites. Great tee pads, great variation of shot shapes and distance. And you have a few Long, golf course style holes, transitioning into some of the coolest wooded holes I’ve ever played. For it being mostly flat, it’s one of the best courses in Michigan, In my opinion. This course is about as challenging as Hunts Hideaway and a similar flow with woods and fields.
