Decent variety in types (wooded, open, LH, RH, etc.) and distance of holes
* Signs are fairly consistent and straightforward, stating direction, distance and par for each hole
* Not many others to contend with on the course. In fact both times I played here nobody else was on the course
* Has decent amount of benches and disposal cans
* In my opinion, Once past the first 3 holes, this small course possesses a decent fun-factor

Cons: * Mahr's Meadow is largely located in the middle of a swamp. If your disc ends up in the rough, not only will you have an incredibly difficult shot, you will more than likely have wet feet. Some of the tees, in fact, tend to collect water.
* The tees are dirt/mud/embedded rocks, and can be dangerous. A long piece of lumber marks the front of the tee box and could easily become a tripping hazard, esp. when a discer uses a run-up shot. Oftentimes it is better to shoot beside or behind the designated tee locations
* This course is not always well maintained. During my most recent visit, not only were the fairways not mowed, they were simply fully grown dandelion fields, esp. the first three holes.
* The first 3 holes consist of simple back and forth shots in an open field (although it does improve in the latter holes)
* A few of the holes use the same space as their respective fairways
Other Thoughts: Again, the fun-factor of this course (which is most important to me) is relatively high. This course could easily become much improved with better, more consistent tees pads. It also seems to be greatly lacking in attention and maintenance. As I was playing the course I often wondered if anybody had even played it in the last month. Overall, it is a decent and fun course for such a small community. Definitely not one of the best courses in the area (i.e. Tower Ridge in Eau Claire), but it is in a convenient location along my sales route, so I play it when traveling through the area.

LOVE THIS COURSE!!! I can't say it enough. In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated courses in North central Wisconsin. yes, many of the holes are short, but boy are they fun! Every time I have been here the fairways have been pristine, however, the insects can be nasty and the traverse muddy. There are many ace-run opportunities here, and the new additions that have been made (i.e. the hidden tee/hole on 15, I believe) are incredible! I truly wish this course were 15 minutes awa ...

I truly wish this course were 15 minutes away from where I live instead of an hour and 15. Cannot wait until the 3 feet of snow melts, so I can get back to this course. If this were the only course I could play every day, I would be happy.

What an enjoyable course! Have not played the new layout, as it was being constructed when I was there last. The first 3 holes in particular remind me of the great Northern Wisconsin courses, however, the old 9-15 were so... well... Illinois - very open. With that said, however, I am planning on moving back home to central IL, and hope to live in Morton, which would make this my new "home course". Obviously, hole 5 is very unique, as well as testing, and several of the other front 8 holes (a ...

Obviously, hole 5 is very unique, as well as testing, and several of the other front 8 holes (at least) are very interesting as well. Unlike the majority of Illinois, the Peoria courses has created some real gems, this being one of the best, along with Lake Eureka and ICC. Illinois, here I come!

Mcdill Pond is a fun little course to play - EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. Some of the holes are enjoyable, while others seem to be simple "fillers". My largest complaint with this course is the tee pads. Although all of the tees have rubber mats in place, the foundation underneath most of them is so eroded that it is often better to just throw from the dirt path off to the side. The other issue at this course is the vandalism. Basket 5, in fact, is typically missing the bottom ring that holds the ...

The other issue at this course is the vandalism. Basket 5, in fact, is typically missing the bottom ring that holds the chains in place. aside from the first and last hole, there is not much distance, however, the technicality necessary for a decent shot makes up for it via woods and elevation. Since it is in town, the course is typically very busy. There has been recent discussion, however, of this course being pulled due to dredging of the pond and/or littering.

Love Becky, but I'm not quite sure what she is talking about... I have never had a difficult time navigating this great course, as a large sign at hole one has a well drawn out map and all of the tees are clearly marked. North Park is another example of a hidden Wisconsin disc golf gem. When compared to many other Northern WI courses, this one is fairly open in it's playing style and possesses a few holes with considerable length. For nearly every hole there are at least two concrete tee pad ...

Love Becky, but I'm not quite sure what she is talking about...

North Park is another example of a hidden Wisconsin disc golf gem. When compared to many other Northern WI courses, this one is fairly open in it's playing style and possesses a few holes with considerable length. For nearly every hole there are at least two concrete tee pads to launch from. Although trees are plenty at North Park, they do not typically create extremely tight fairways (aside from #6) that are typical to other Wisconsin courses. Elevation does not play much of a factor here either. One of the largest drawbacks to NP is the baskets, which have nodules that stick up above the rim of the basket. It's sort of frustrating when a put that would normally go in elsewhere gets rejected here because of this odd feature.

If played from marked tee locations, this course is super short and easy. No hole is over 200 feet, and the shortest is marked at 78 feet! Obviously, there are several ace run opportunities, but there are also a couple of holes (such as 5 & 6) that keep this course somewhat interesting. The saving grace for this course is that it is fairly wooded, and if your group decides to create makeshift tee locations the course can become a bit more enjoyable. Although there is quite a bit more park ar ...

Although there is quite a bit more park area that probably could have been utilized to better facilitate this course, the course designer (whoever that may be) did a decent job with the limited space provided.

Memorial is a largely open "park" course. All holes are relatively short and mostly deucable for the better players. I would suggest that this is a great beginners course, however, all of the water on the course (affecting 4 of 9 holes) makes losing discs to the drink fairly easy. Due to park's activity, there are some places (holes 1 & 2 come to mind) where pedestrian safety is an issue. The baskets could be better too, as they are all (aside from one) single-layer chain Innova cages. Over ...
