Best course in the world. tons of elevation. tests all aspects of your game. beautiful landscape. rock gardens provide mystical powers. If you don't love this course you haven't played it!
I haven't played a great number of Michigan courses, maybe 25 or so, but from the experience I must say that Bill McKenzie's Flip City is the best of the best. Until playing Kansas City's Water Works and Cliff Park I thought that Flip City was the only course that may get a 5 rating from me, after playing those two courses, I put Flip City right alongside of those greats. What sets Flip City aside as truly unique is that Flip is ONE MAN'S lifetime work of carving, grooming, sculpting and more grooming, the true story of someone saying "if I build it, they will come". Bill built it and now they do indeed come. The course has elevation changes, great pin placement, nice concrete tee pads with brooms at most stops, pavilions out on the course and much more that would take way too long to describe and even then, you wouldn't start to imagine just how beautiful Flip City is. A visit to this course is a must for all that are within driving distance, basically, everyone that plays disc golf and lives within the USA. As far as any negatives to the course, take your bug spray. When you get back to the holes that make it a 24 hole course you may be carried away by mosquitoes, otherwise you'll leave thinking "maybe I should rent or build a house near this place.
I have played nearly every course on the west side of MI and this is the only course I have played that I would give a perfect 5 star rating. The course is absolutely beautiful and challenging and was immaculately constructed by the owner Bill. Bill is very passionate about disc golf and his passion for the sport translates into the most fantastic course that you could play. All cement tee's and metal baskets and Bill mows it probably every week. There are even paths mowed in the rough to more easily find your disc if you throw off the fairways on this 24 hole course. Do yourself a favor, if you live in MI, drive here and play this course. Pack a lunch, throw 48 or 72 holes and make a day of it, this course is THAT good.
