<font color="blue">Couple of friends and I have been taking frisbee golf road trips the past few summers. Since, were from South Dakota, our first year we took a trip through Nebraska. Last summer we went up to the Cities in Minnesota for our week long trip. This next summer we plan on going to Wisconsin, particually hitting the Dells area. We'd like to get some input from people who've played the courses so we don't waste our time playing ones that aren't worthy. I have a 2004 Course Directory and another member is doing course research online. If we could get some input from people who live there, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

PS: I have pictures from the previous two trips if anybody is interested.</font>

For a short course, Sandy Point is very cool.
Elver & Hiestand are top tournament courses.
I also liked Standing Rocks.

I've only played 7 courses in Wisconsin. I really like Sandy Point, Standing Rock and Yulga.

Token Creek/Vallarta- Ast in Deforest wisconsin is a great 5 star course and so is Village park in Sussex wisconsin. Check them out,you won't be disappointed!

If you're going to the dells you'll want to play all the courses in Stevens Point and Madison. Those are some of the best courses in the state and around that area. Baraboo is right by the dells. It's a fun, but a real short course through the woods.
Standing Rocks, Yulga, Hiestand, Token Creek, Elver are all good courses.

I agree with Chris. Play Baraboo if you constrained by time. If you come as far as the Dells you'll want to drive the extra 45 minutes to Madison and play the courses there starting with Token Creek. If you can get over to Stevens Point do that too. Standing Rock is beautiful and challenging. I haven't been to Yulga yet.

Oh yeah, don't let the pay to play prevent you off from going to Token Creek. $4/day is well worth it. This is the course Julianna Korver (sp?) talks about in the 2003 Worlds video.

Welcome to WI when you get here.

Austin, MN is on I-90 which is on your way and has a sweet 27 hole course. Drop me an email if you want to get a round in.

last year on our Minnesota Trip we jumped over to the Austin Course. Enjoyed it alot, some of the middle holes were hard to find + it was very very buggy at the time.

But I'll definetly keep everybody updated on the date's we'll be out there. There are supposed to be a few tourney's out in WI sometime early summer. We might try and make it, but if we could hit up any league's while we're out there, those are always fun. See how you compare to local players on their own course ;).

Thank for your comments guys! We look forward to getting out there! and its only December :(

Well like others have said Baraboo is a fun and short course 1744 shorts and 2245 longs. But it is in my opionion very technical compared to the Madison courses, fairways are narrow an have a low ceiling because of their play through the woods. I really liked Village Park in Sussex when I played there. I can't wait to play Token Creek this summer.

When You come down to the dells let me know I'd play a rpound or two with you at Baraboo, my home course.

Hey Guys, I took your advice and put together this set of courses. The problem is there are a few too many. We want about 40-60 holes a day, with around 350-400 total. As you can see, we currently have 662 holes. Please help us elliminate the courses that would be a waste of our time and add any we might be forgetting. A replacement 9 holer for an 18 would help us cut some holes without cutting a new course. Also, if you could let us know of any tournaments or league nights in there that we could hit up, that'd be awesome. Thanks guys!

You are gong to be real close to MIlwaukee, to close to miss playing Dretzka, I highly recommend you try to fit this course in, maybe instead of Vollrath. Vollrath is the oldest course in Sconny, but it is also very short.

The only one you missed that I would recommend is UW Parkside in Kenosha. 18 holes (with 3 tee placements and 3 basket placements each hole) and full of challenges. Unique raised basket on Hole #9 and raised platform tee on #9.

Elsewhere, Standing Rocks, Yulga, Token Creek, Hiestand, Dretzka, and Manitowoc are definitely not to be missed.
But the well-designed (and clean) courses combined with friendly knowledgeable players make disc golfing in Wisconsin really enjoyable.

For as long as you'll be traveling, you'll regret not making the trek to play the 5 courses at Highbridge (home of the new major, Mid-Nationals) www.highbridgehillssc.com (http://www.highbridgehillssc.com) and Sandy Point.

Consider the 9-hole Adrian Campground right off the ramp on I-90 in western MN as your first course. The Winona courses and two 9s in Rochester can be skipped or just play Slatterly.

[/QUOTE]

I'll try to help. If it were me on Day 2 I'd skip the LaCrosse course because I'd want to put more miles behind me and it's only 9 holes. Then I would sacrifice either Sparta or Baraboo (sorry Tinfoil) to save the days holes for the Madison courses.

On Day 6 (call me or send me PM, I'll play) I'd cut O'Hauser. Telulah & Plamann are a must. My home course is Grignon so naturally I'm going to say play it but I'm sure others will say this is the one to cut. You could also cut out the 9 hole addition at Plamann and play the original 18.

Where are you staying in New London? Campground? if so which one?

Day 7 I'd skip Kimberly. That is a high school course and for the most part is an open field. Very short. This will not challenge you at all. I have not played the GB courses yet but that has to be a better place to start. I've not heard anything positive about the Forest Jct. course so you may want to avoid this one too.

Day 9 Standing Rocks is 18 and a must. Many WI disc golfers rate this course one of the top 5 in the state. It's in my top 3.

The other courses and areas I'm not familiar with.

Good Luck. It looks like a lot of fun.

When you around the Appleton/Green Bay Area I reccommend the following courses:

1. Telulah Park (Appleton)
short, but challenging course that winds through the woods for most of the holes. The last 5 holes finish more open. Holes 7 and 8 can be killer holes.

2. O'hauser Park (Menasha)
Very tough course that gets even tougher on the back nine. Very wooded course that requires a lot of skill to shoot below par (54). Its a fun course for watching people melt down on the back nine.

3. Plamann Park (Appleton)
Open and fairly long course that runs through a somewhat elevated park. The course is always well-groomed and in good shape. It is probably the most popular and therefore, crowded courses in the area. There a couple of holes that play over 400'. Overall it is a pretty easy course, but its a good one.

4. Triangle Sports Area (Green Bay)
This is my home course and the first coures I ever played, so I gotta reccommend this one. Very short and open course, even from the back tees(don't play the front ones), with a lot of elevation change. You will climb a lot of hills here. There aren't really a lot of challenging holes here, but there are a lot of fun holes where you throw your shots off of hills. I average around a 47 to 46 here. The course record is a 39, my best 2 rounds were 42's.

In regards to day 10 ... Tower Ridge is a must, however Chippewa Falls Middle School & Mount Simon are forgettable. Wakanda is also definitely worth the stop. There is also a private 9 hole course ( with multiple T-pads ) in a little town called Boyceville, just 11 miles from Wakanda Park. All of the baskets have solar lights on them for night golf. And since I am the owner, I can offer you a place to camp. Check out the website below.

http://fp1.centurytel.net/AxldogAcresDiscGolf/

STANDING ROCKS IS A MUST!

Some of your hole counts are off.

Skip Kimberly, Fond du Lac, and UWGB, and come out and play Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Two Rivers. TR is an amzingly tight, wooded 9, Manitowoc is WELL laid out, and Kewaunee is coming up, and offers a beautiful setting. Check out the link in my sig and contact me, I'll let you know if I have all 18 setup, and I can come out with you guys and play all kinds of ironman, safari, and gold tee layouts with you.

If you like tightly wooded and technical, play Baraboo, Forest Junction (it is insane with tress!), Two Rivers, and the back nine at Menasha.

I cannot stress enough to play Standing Rocks.

If you make your way up to Highbridge, definitely stop and play Sandy Point in Lac du Flambeau.

I'd skip Valley View in Milwaukee and play UW Parkside in Kenosha instead.

Instead of replying to all of you in seperate posts, i'll just do it in one.



Schweb: We got Dretzka on Day 3, and is Vollrath worth dropping?


Klemrock: What's your home course, and would you be willing to play a round or two with us?


Chuck Kennedy: I was gonna ask where those guys are cuz i couldn't find them in my 2004 course directory, or on the online version, (which is usually more updated). But Superberry clarified that for me... I dont' think we'll be able to make it up that far, we're already gone for 10 days as it is. Ideally we'd just move to Wisconsin for a month and play disc and drink beer. But alas, we need money to go on trips, and we need jobs for money, and so the vicious cycle continues.


chainiac: We cut Sparta, cuz we got tinfoil to play with us on Baraboo. Yea, we'll definetly give ya a call. One of our main problems playing new courses is not knowing where we're going or where the holes are. Why cut O'Hauser? I had you tell me to cut it, and Vic Mackey tell me to keep it... I kept Grignon so you can play with us :) As far as the campground. In the Course Directory, it says "camping nearby" on some of the courses, it said it for New London, so we figured that'd be a good place. If you have any suggestions, let us know. It would be much appreciated to know where we're going, rather than trying to find it that afternoon. (which we've had to do)


Vic Mackey: Why play O'Hauser? chainiac said not to, is it just personal preference on the amount of trees you like? I don't suppose either of you have been to Oakwood up in Cottage Grove, MN. The local nickname is Strokewood. Excellent course. Anyways, would you be up for a round or two on your home turf? Maybe get somebody to challenge your scores ;)


Axldog: Checked out the site, looks awesome. The glow baskets sound tight. I've played night disc, but it's a pain running the glow sticks up to the hole ahead of time. We'll most definetly check it out when we're out there.


superberry: Thanks bud, I've gotten the impression over this thread that Standing Rocks is an excellent course :) Too bad the Sandy Point and Highbridge are too far up there. They'll probably have to wait for another time (or another trip)





Instead of continually reposting the schedule, I'll just add the courses I've added, and the ones I've dropped:


<u>Dropped:</u>


Fairmont; Austin - Todd Park; Rochester - East Park; Winona; La Crosse; Sparta; Milwaukee - Valley View Park; Sheboygan - Vollrath; Fond de Loc; Kimberly; Green Bay - UWGB; Forest Junction; Chippewa Falls; Eau Claire - Mt. Simon.




<u>Added, sure keepers:</u>


Austin - Driesner; Token Creek; Hiestand; Dretzka; Kenosha - UW Parkside; both Appleton's; GB - TSA; Manitowoc - Silver Creek Park; Two Rivers (??? don't know yet for sure); Standing Rocks; Yulga; EC - Tower Ridge; Wakanda; Boyceville

No way you should drop Austin-Todd 27, one of the better courses in the state, for Austin-Driesner which I believe is now only 9 not 18 as listed (their other 9 went to Todd to make it 27). If it's a time issue, drop Slatterly or Stewartville in addition to Driesner to get Todd in the mix.

BTW, I did the Oakwood (Strokewood) design. Some of the O'hauser area locals may not know I worked with Duster on the O'hauser redesign for their Am Worlds, especially the back nine, which is wooded like Oakwood (#14 is my favorite).

my reasoning for dropping the Austin 27, is last year on our Minnesota trip, we played it. The point of the trip is to play new courses, and + we did have a little trouble finding some of the holes on the 27'er. So by replacing it, we A) get a new course in, B) cut back on time cuz we'd play 18 (or 9 i guess) instead of 27 on the trip out there.


that was my reasoning on it

One of the main reasons i loved Oakwood so much is because on our trips, we keep a running score. We have two divisions:


1) Best Overall Score, which is obvious. we keep track of our scores, and the person with the lowest at the end wins.

2) Most Course Points. We weight the courses, 9 holes = 3 pts, 12 holes = 4 pts, 18 holes = 6 pts (for those of you not paying attention, its a point for every 3 holes). That way, you can still win course points without...*sighs* for those of you out there that dont' get it, let me know and i'll explain it. until then, i'm going to assume that anybody reading this will be intelligent to figure it out for themselves.


Back to why I like Oakwood. I gained a good number of strokes on them on that course. It helped me win it in the end. btw, what is a normal score on that course? ours were: +5, +17, +12

OK, on Todd. I would put Rochester-East 9 or Adrian Campground 9 back in there in place of Driesner if you haven't played either.

The SSA for a 1000-rated player in the current Oakwood layout is about 51-52.

chainiac: We cut Sparta, cuz we got tinfoil to play with us on Baraboo. Yea, we'll definetly give ya a call. One of our main problems playing new courses is not knowing where we're going or where the holes are. Why cut O'Hauser? I had you tell me to cut it, and Vic Mackey tell me to keep it... I kept Grignon so you can play with us :) As far as the campground. In the Course Directory, it says "camping nearby" on some of the courses, it said it for New London, so we figured that'd be a good place. If you have any suggestions, let us know. It would be much appreciated to know where we're going, rather than trying to find it that afternoon. (which we've had to do)



I like to camp at Wolf River Campground (http://www.wolfrivertrips.com/wolfrivertrips/home/default.asp). Tubing can be a nice way to rest a tired arm. ;)

I don't like O'hauser because of a number of small things. The front 9 is difficult to follow for someone new. I've only played 3 rounds there. The signs are either laying down on the ground or bushes or they're just missing all together. Starting with #4 or #5 the holes get crowded and without good signage you are left wondering which target to throw at or where is it? And as you said above one of the main problems playing new courses is not knowing where to go or where the holes are. Vic is right, the course is very challenging and the back nine will test any golfers skills.

O'hauser, Telulah, Plamann, and Grignon are all great courses. A good day would be waking up and playing a round at each but if you can't you have to make the difficult decision of which one to cut.

I'd suggest investing in a Wisconsin Atlas & Gazetteer. It is a detailed topographic map which can help you save time & gas finding courses. It also list campgrounds. A Gazetteer costs about $17. High end sporting goods stores like Gander Mountain should carry them. Fleet Farm stores carry them at their stores throughout WI & MN (Winona).

Vic Mackey: Why play O'Hauser? chainiac said not to, is it just personal preference on the amount of trees you like? I don't suppose either of you have been to Oakwood up in Cottage Grove, MN. The local nickname is Strokewood. Excellent course. Anyways, would you be up for a round or two on your home turf? Maybe get somebody to challenge your scores ;)




I would love to play a few rounds w/ you around here. My whole summer is going to be dedicated to disc golf! You will love the Appleton/Green Bay area. People are crazy about disc golf around here. Most of the courses are crowded in summertime.

O'hauser is a very difficult and challenging course from the back tees. IDK about the front tees because I never play front tees anywhere I go. It is the only 18 hole course I've ever played that I haven't shot below par 54 on. I don't have all that much experience there though. If you like a good challenge, play there. IMO, the best course in the Appleton area is Telulah.

I disagree with chaniac on which one to cut. I would cut Grignon over O'Hauser if it was up to me. Grignon isn't a bad course, it just has a lot of holes on the back nine that are a joke. Some are like 175'. I throw a putter on almost every hole on the back. If you are gonna cut a course around Appleton--- I'd narrow it down to these 2 courses

~Brian Luedtke

sparta-justin trail resort sucks big time. The fairways are to narrow. the bushes are very thorny and can cut you if you shank a disc off the fairway. Way to many mosquitos AND very poorly laid out course!

http://www.discoverwisc.com/image/wisc-map.pdf

This is a great WI map to get the general layout and vicinity of courses here.

Are you guys gonna hit Tower Ridge in EauClaire? That's another must.

If you think you might play Kewaunee (along with Manitowoc and Two Rivers), let me know, I'm always up for a round (and I'm out there doing something on the course most days anyway). Did you check out the webpage in my signature, whaddya think?

In all reality, it doesnt maTTer where you play in Sconny, htey are all great courses. Ih ave played 18 of them and they have all been Great.

Hey superberry,
Nice website. Great photos. Some of those new hole proposals look like they have alot of potential. Balance out some of those long wide open holes with some tight technical wooded shots.

Thanks axldog.

That's exactly what I plan to do. We convinced the county to purchase and install the 11 holes because they were part of the final 18, they provided a good 'flow', and required no heavy clearing. We actually got the course installed in 2 days. (I spent much of the spring laying out grade stakes, measuring distances, and designing a course that flowed well, yet still gave an opportunity to throw twice off the top of the ski hill (it will be 3 times once we get #18 in!). The wooded holes will stay tight and technical. Our group loves those tight wooded holes. They actually follow mountain bike trails and we will only clear out a few of the smaller trees and some low-lying branches. I wanted to play along the creek as well. At work, we joke about being able to throw straight down the hallway, that's what #8B is, The Hallway - 300 feet long 5 to 10 feet wide.

I took a look at yours too and would love to come out there and camp and play a few rounds next time I make a Tower Ridge trip. I'd love to play some night disc, and I want to unload my bag on that hole that throws downhill toward the pond. I haven't played Wakanda, or Hudson yet either. Have you played Black River Falls? Crappy baskets, but I love those woods!

I just keep pushing the news about the course to anyone I can because we need the county to pull the trigger on the remaining 7. We have club funds to buy the baskets, I install them completely on my time and dollar, and they do not interfere with the skiing, and the mntn bike guys fully support the discers and vice versa. The county will take no risk, but they still haven't okayed the final 18, they want to see the community acceptance of the course. (More people play that go skiing there! I think it is an all around better activity for the community)

Wildwood in Marshfield isn't really worth the time, its small than MT Simon in Eau Claire, most of the hole are 200ft or less and 9 holes total.

North Park of Wood County 20 is decent course

Wakanda and axldog's Course's are great.

Thanks Eric!
Do you realize that you were the only person to get an ACE at AADGC in 2004? Nice shootin'!

disccraft elite
I just looked at your homepage and saw your a Cowboys fan I might have to reconsider playing Baraboo with ya :D

so it doesn't matter that my boys finished 6-10 for the year, and the Packers got to the playoffs? :P

Nope lifelong dislike. Maybe I'll have to pull out my green and gold hat that says DALLAS SUCKS, and so do the bears /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I put your visit to Baraboo on my calendar so I don't plan any out of town activites with any of the kids I work with over the summer.

Thanks Eric!
Do you realize that you were the only person to get an ACE at AADGC in 2004? Nice shootin'!



What do u mean by AADGC? If you are talking about the club leagues, there were like 3 aces in leagues last year.

Funny! I think I know where you are coming from on this. When I say AADGC, I meant Axldog Acres Disc Golf Course. When you say AADGC, you mean Appleton Area Disc Golf Club. Right?

I would just like to introdue myself as the soon to be champion of this wisconsin trip, discraft_elite is going down, he don't got oakwood to save his sorry [*****] again!

You must throw Innova then! :D

Raiser: What makes you so cocky? You're going to choke just like your Vikings will!

Tinfoil: Thats right, you guys got a couple of Vikings Fans comin your way. Least my boys are down in Texas. The fourth guy is a Packer fan, so you lucked out there.

No Limit: We have one guy on our trip that likes the short holes. + it is nice to get a rest from throwing 500' for 9 straight days.

Discray and Eric: Thanks guys!

Superberry: How many holes is Kewaunee? Checked out the site, love the pictures. Looks like you guys are sittin on a beautiful set-up out there. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can get practicing.

Axldog: Is it $9 per person? or per group? and how much would it be to campout on the course?

if anybody can tell me how to post pictures, i'll put up the trophy that we're playin for

Kewaunee was 11 holes last year, and I am fighting like mad for the county to allow me to construct the remaining 7 holes. We're set to go, all I need is their approval to proceed. The more people I can get to lobby to the county parks director the better, he can only allow what is supported (and used) by the people.

The remaining 7 (many shown in 'Other Pictures' on my site, will be some tightly wooded, technical holes and yet another off the hill (660ft)).

For '05 it will be at least 11, but if you call me, and there are few people on the course, I have it currently laid out to play backwards as well for a full 18 (I did this because the county was going to wait on the decision for a full 18 for a while). They're just as fun, still flow nice, and utilize existing tees and baskets. Plus you can also unload your bag off the top of the hill shooting at three different baskets and my Discatcher Sport.

You guys ought to have mini daily tournaments were the loser supplies the beer and steaks. That's what we did last year. We had to handicap though because the same guy was running short on cash.

Funny! I think I know where you are coming from on this. When I say AADGC, I meant Axldog Acres Disc Golf Course. When you say AADGC, you mean Appleton Area Disc Golf Club. Right?



Right :D

So Mr. Elite,
Are you and your buddies the betting type?
Wagering 5, 10, or 20 bux on a round makes it so much more interesting :cool:

Thats right, you guys got a couple of Vikings Fans comin your way.

If you want to be nice to the Vikings Fans in your group stop by the Packer Hall of Fame at Lambeau Field. You can show them what a (3) Lombardi trophy looks like. /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif You can't find them in Minnesota. :D

Superberry - sweet website and it looks like a fun course!

Axeldog - it was nice to meet & talk with you last month in Point. I can't wait (despite the course design thread) to play Wakanda - will you be doing electronic pre-registration?

DiscraftElite - Depending on when your trip happens, I'd love to drive up and play! Let me know your itinery: klemrock@earthlink.net

Axldog: Is it $9 per person? or per group? and how much would it be to campout on the course?


It's per person, but don't forget about the discounts. Save $1 with your PDGA card, save another $1 if you are a Certified Official, save another $1 if you are a member to ANY local disc golf club, save $1 with your college ID, and save $1 by printing out the coupon from the webpage. That's drops it down to only $4 each ( possibly ). I'll let you camp for whatever you think is a fair donation to the course.

I didn't build the course to make money, I built it to fulfill a dream.

well fellow disc golf players, im a new member to this site and im in discraft_elite's group going to Wisonsin this summer. I guess i am supposed to get some info for this trip and i just wanted to say what up to all you guys. Also, any information that you could provide me with would be great

---KUR CJR <font color="red"> </font>

And yes im the Packer fan baby! and I WILL BE WINNING THE WISCONSIN TRIP, dont listen to MrRaiser77 or discraft_elite

What are the stakes that you are playing for?

And by the way No_Limit_Luedtke, whoever you are, when my group comes through your "home course", i will take your bet, whatever it is and show you how to play some real discgolf!!!!!

Last year we each pitched in $5 for each division, so there was a $15 pot for each one. This year, we'll be playing for this trophy: http://webpages.sdsmt.edu/~1004822/DSC02262.JPG along with probably a $5 or $10 buy-in for the course points catageory.

No Limit: we occasionally will place $ on a round or two. One problem though, we'd be seriously handicaped if we played on your home course, dont' you think? We're you thinking individual or team play?

That's cool!

Allow me to introduce myself, i'm the 4th and final member of the the Wisconsin Disc Trip Group, and contrary to what anybody is telling you, i'll be the one bringin home both the trophy and the money when all is said and done :cool:

Hey WI Disc Golf tour guys,
Don't worry about handicapping at Triangle Sports area in Green Bay. There is (or should be) none. The course is on some ski hills, but is really just WIDE OPEN. A few trees come into play, but nothing dreadful if you can putt. I can tomahawk the entire round and still throw a 42 (only because I missed a few putts - **** Blowfly!).

I'd suggest you hit the Appleton area courses, Lakeshore area, and skip all in Green Bay in favor of more time somewhere else. Just my PERSONAL opinion - I mean Triangle is SO easy, you have to pay at Pameperin and it is not well laid out (and also a ton of park-goers that you hit with discs, and Howard is also wide open field with fairways cut into horribly long grass (I haven't played the 6 new wooded holes though). You'd enjoy your time much more in the surrounding areas.

Cool trophy, you still otta consider my steak and beer idea.

Hit up Mall of America Before Heading Home!


Total Holes: 536

Wow, looks like a good time.

Is the number behind the course the number of holes you plan to play or the number of holes you think the course offers? Because Standing Rock is 18 holes (I've played this course) and Two Rivers is 9 holes from what I've read. Maybe the directory just needs to be updated.

Did you get my PM I sent you?

Whats up Romine, I See you finished 3rd at the US Amateur Championships, pretty impressive, whats your home course, assuming its in wisconsin? and we'll have to set up a time to play while were on our trip and get a feel for the amateur competition thats out there

If you're going to the Mall of America, there will be a new 18 hole course playable by then that's just a little further down I-494 on the slopes of the Hyland Ski hills in Bloomington. Should be a fun course with lots of elevation. Info should be online before you start your trip but course won't go in until May so there's no info yet.

it was what we thought the course was. but thanks, i got them updated now. and yes, i did get your PM. We're gonna get a Atlas and Gazetteer (one of you guys suggested it, thats KnowUrRoots's job) and go with our campgrounds out of there. Thanks for the tip though. :) It is all greatly appreciated!

How are you guys going to be traveling on this journey? Car, truck, van, camper, motorhome ???

Last year we tried to fit 3 people into a cavalier. This year, with 4 (+ all of our camping gear etc) we plan on taking two cars.

<u>Day 2 (June 20th) Holes: 72</u>
Baraboo - Baraboo Lions DGC 18
Token Creek (Deforest) - Vallarta - Ast DGC 18
Madison - Elver Park 18
Madison - Hiestand Park 18




Baraboo's okay, but the 3 in Madison are great courses; I'd opt to play one course twice, like Token OR trek down to Rockford




<u>Day 3 (June 21st) Holes: 63</u>
Sussex - Village Park 18
Milwaukee - Dretzka Park 18
Grafton - Lime-Kiln Park 9
Saukville - Tendick Nature Area 18



The Grafton course blows and many times events at the park interfere with the course - skip it



<u>Day 4 (June 22nd) Holes: 36</u>
Kenosha - UW Parkside 18
Beaver Dam* - Crystal Lake Park (Pool) 18
Cruise and Party in the Wisconsin Dells!



Isn't Beaver Dam a high school course? Seems out of the way with your plans to go to the Dells. I'd spend more time enjoying the Dells and rest your arm a day.



<u>Day 5 (June 23rd) Holes: 90</u>
Sheboygan - Quarry Park 18
Sheboygan - Vollrath 18
Kewaunee - Winter Park 18
Manitowoc - Silver Creek Park 18
Two Rivers - Picnic Hill Park 18



Two Rivers IS 18 holes.....
I am almost positive Quarry is gone, unless they put it back in
Your route should be Sheboygan, Manitowoc,Two Rivers, Kewaunee unless you were thinking of going from She. (most south) straight to Kew. (most north) and working your way back south, but even then you would hit Two Rivers 1st and then Manitowoc

We're keeping Baraboo so we can play with Tinfoil,


Grafton's that bad?, ok, we'll seriously condsider cutting it


We've found that when we take a day to 'rest our arm' it usually dosen't happen and we want to play at least a few holes (mainly because we realize we're in a different state playing frisbee golf for a week! it's kind of hard not to play at least a few holes). I know someone in beaver dam, + it's got a pool so i can pull my "watch this" stunt. Great story... anyways, we've been to the Dells a few times before, but that was probably close to 8 years ago. Two of us are 21, so thats one option, but you guys got any ideas other than Noah's Ark for entertainment in the Dells?


Thanks for clarifying day 5 :) where's your home course? would you be up for a round?

When in Madison Camp @ Token Creek just wake up and play a great course.

Okay guys, I am pretty obsessed with disc golf and want to throw as many discs as possible when my buddies and I take our roadtrips, so I always try to make things efficient and not back-track all over the place. Are you headed to WI from TX or MN? Another thing is that there are a TON of cool courses between here and there, but if you are focusing on WI, I will try to help you out. And you definitely should hit Koposcia and North Valley in MN!

Here is a fairly efficient WI route, including your stops in the Dells and Beaver **** to see friends. Courses with an asterisk (*) could be skipped because they are 9 holes, or fairly simple.

WISCONSIN STOPS

North Valley, MN 18
Koposcia, MN 18

Eau Claire - Tower Ridge Park 18 (awesome course)
Menomonie - Wakanda Park 18
Hudson - Willow River State Park 12
Boyceville - Private 9

Camp in Boyceville

We're actually coming from South Dakota. We've already played alot of the courses up by the cities. But I agree, Kaposia is an excellent course!

Thanks for clarifying day 5 :) where's your home course? would you be up for a round?



Chicago
grew up in Wisconsin so I travel through a lot

I played Two Rivers when it was 18, half out in open area to the north

I would have to agree with several of the others. If you're going to be in the Dells area make the trip to Madison and Stevens Point. Both have wonderful courses. I live in Madison and Token Creek is one of the finest courses in the country. Both Hiestand and Elver area lots of fun too. Go to Yulga and Standing Rocks in Stevens Point. And of course Baraboo is really close to the Dells so you'll want to hit that course too.

Me and my friend have been taken 3 disc golf roadtrips throughout Wisconsin over the last 2 Summers. I've played 39 courses throughout the state. Here's the ones you must definitely play:

Telulah Park - Appleton, WI
Plamann Park - Appleton, WI
Silver Creek - Manitawoc, WI
Dretzka Park - Milwaukee, WI
Elver Park - Madison, WI
Heistand Park, Madison, WI
Token Creek - Deforest, WI (best course I've played)
Standing Rocks - Stevens Point, WI (2nd best, outside Token Creek)
Tower Ridge - Eau Claire, WI

I can't wait for this Summer's discin' road trip(s), cuz we will both be 21! Not that it stopped us from drinking at the campgrounds last year tho...

Day 6
Appleton � Telulah 18
Appleton � Plamann Park 27 (has a man-made swimming pond too)
Menasha � Ohauser 18 (the back 9 will really test your skills from the pro tees!)
*New London � 18 (I think they are just post-holes)



Superberry,

We played Hattan Park in New London last June, and they had baskets. The course was ok, nothing spectacular, but definitely worth a play if your in the area.

OK. If you want to know the BEST courses in WI to play here is a nonpartison list.
Appleton:
Plahmann
O'Hauser
Telulah(mainly because your already there)

Madison:
Vallarta-Ast(Token Creek)
Heistand
Elver

Milwaukee:
Dretzka
Lime Kiln(short 9 but very nice)

Steven Point:
Yulga
Standing Rocks
Mead(again because your there)

Eau Claire:
Tower Ridge(one of the most over looked courses in the state)

Kenosha:
UW Parkside

Sandy Point

Hibridge Hills in Hurley

UW Platville

Manitowoc(I can't remember the name of the course but its is alright)

If you plan on hitting more courses than these here are few you skip. Threr just not worth your time
Grignon in Kaukauna
Beaver Dam
Valley View in Milwaukee
Kimberly High School
The Quarry in Sheboygan
All the Green Bay courses
Rosendale School

I hope this helps

If and when you come to the Kenosha area, email or PM me and I'd be happy to throw a round with you. Depending on when you're in town, we have leagues on Thursday nights. Visit http://sewisconsindiscgolf.org/ you can look at pictures of the course. Unfortunately the pictures weren't taken at the best time of year...when the leaves hit the trees the whole course changes.

My biggest question of all is how come there is no course in Wisconsin Dells or very close to? One of the U.S.'s largest tourist cities and plenty of beautiful land. Has anybody talked to any campgrounds, resorts, etc.? This is quite needed! Edge-O-Dells and Stand Rock are wonderful candidates for a great course! Check out http://www.dells.com/camping.html

My guess is it's all about the $$$. Not enough ROI (return on investment) compared to other uses for the land near the Dells.

IMO Baraboo isn't that far away. Sure would like to see the Dells get a course though. :cool:

Baraboo is 10 - 15 minutes away from the Dells. Thats pretty close. But last time I was up in the Dells I kinda wondered the same thing

The population of the Dells is only like 1,000 or something close to that. That is people that live, work, go to school, etc. there. Lots more people come and stay for a night or two and then go back to where they came from. I'm guessing the Parks & Rec. Director hasn't been asked for a course too many times.

Tinfoil, is there any DG organization (club or group) associated with the Baraboo course that could look into this?

Maybe some help from a state level will be needed. Survey the DG clubs from WI and Chicago & Minneapolis to find out what sort of interest there would be in putting a course in near the Dells. How many DGs actually visit (& how often) the Dells every year? Of those that visit the Dells how many would take the time (away from the water parks or whatever) to play a course there if there was one?

Just some thoughts. $.02

The major reason we're going to WI other than the high number of courses is that we've been to the Dells several times before and loved it. We would definetly take the time to play it. But I guess a few guys from SD wouldn't make much of a difference.


For the record, we took a mini disc trip to Nebraska over or spring break. All 4 guys that are going on the WI trip were there... sadly, Ii took 4th, but figured God didn't want me to run a monopoly on ALL the trips, so he let those guys get a false sense of security on this one. Still, nothing beats a road trip with your friends playing disc golf :)

But I guess a few guys from SD wouldn't make much of a difference.

That's my point! The little town is filled every weekend in the summer with people just like you. I can't even begin to guess at what the population of the Dells is on any given summer weekend. :confused: 10, 15, 20 thousand??? More?

I'd play there in the off season, but I try to keep my distance from the Dells during the summer. To many people wondering which way to turn next. It would be nice though to have another course that's nearby.

It would be nice though to have another course that's nearby.





it would always be nice to have another course nearby :D

I just visited the Dells for Spring Break earlier this week. I played the Baraboo course and got a chance to talk to some of the local disc golfers. They agreed it would be awesome to see another course in the Dells. Right now it is Baraboo, a new course in Prarie Du Sac, and then the Madison courses. I think it's only a matter of time...

I don't know that you can really call Marion Park in Prairie du Sac a real draw. I play there when I have time between meetings in Sauk and don't want to drive back to the office to sit for 10 min.

It's a nice place to take kids just starting out though. It also is a nice place to go and practice throws, I get easily bored in a field so its nice to go to Marion park and play rollers and putts, tommy and putts etc.

Like I said before a course in the Dells would be great as long as it was away from the masses or for play in the off season. Although with all the indoor parks its almost a year round mess.

I wonder if there isn't some open land west and NW of the Dells. Within a few miles of the interstate. I don't think anyone would want a course IN the Dells. A few miles outside would do.
:eek:
Hey, according to my topographical map there is a ski hill west of town. Maybe they would be interested in some summer time traffic.

I'll have to take a ride with my brother the next time I go down there to visit him.

The only problem with consideration for off season disc golf is the issue of spring melt and erosion for a majority of the "off season". Not to mention the sheer lack of winter golfers realative to the summer players. Now if you were speaking in terms of a ski hill "offseason", that would be a different story. Many ski resorts across the western U.S. are intsalling disc golf on their slopes as a form of summer revenue. Most courses you buy a ski lift ticket, and the courses generally start at the top and play all downhill. :cool:If you could get in contact with the place that you know of Buddah, I will help you present the idea to the proprietors if you would like. As I can get great deals on baskets from Gateway. I will also be free to play on Wed. if you are free.

I'm all for getting another course in the Dells area, I was thinking Devils Head would be a great location for a course, not really the dells but close. But before I go and get working on a course thats 50 min away from my house I'm going to work on something a little closer to home. I have my eyes on some pretty nice property just outside Spring Green that could be really nice. I'm just trying to figure out if its part of the Sauk County Community Forest or if its private land.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm a course within walking distance from my house Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sorry I'll stop drooling.

Spring Green is only 45 min. from Madison so again it wouldn't be to far to attract MadTown DGers

chainiac: We cut Sparta, cuz we got tinfoil to play with us on Baraboo. Yea, we'll definetly give ya a call. One of our main problems playing new courses is not knowing where we're going or where the holes are. Why cut O'Hauser? I had you tell me to cut it, and Vic Mackey tell me to keep it... I kept Grignon so you can play with us :) As far as the campground. In the Course Directory, it says "camping nearby" on some of the courses, it said it for New London, so we figured that'd be a good place. If you have any suggestions, let us know. It would be much appreciated to know where we're going, rather than trying to find it that afternoon. (which we've had to do)



I like to camp at Wolf River Campground (http://www.wolfrivertrips.com/wolfrivertrips/home/default.asp). Tubing can be a nice way to rest a tired arm. ;)

I don't like O'hauser because of a number of small things. The front 9 is difficult to follow for someone new. I've only played 3 rounds there. The signs are either laying down on the ground or bushes or they're just missing all together. Starting with #4 or #5 the holes get crowded and without good signage you are left wondering which target to throw at or where is it? And as you said above one of the main problems playing new courses is not knowing where to go or where the holes are. Vic is right, the course is very challenging and the back nine will test any golfers skills.

O'hauser, Telulah, Plamann, and Grignon are all great courses. A good day would be waking up and playing a round at each but if you can't you have to make the difficult decision of which one to cut.



Update: Some of our club members have put in a lot of hard work at O' hauser this spring. I understand there are new tee signs. They fixed up some of the areas around the tees and greens with wood chips. Course difficulty should never be questioned here. The difficult part was for an out of town or newbie to find the correct next hole. Put this one at the top of your list when coming to the Fox Valley.

This is what we have planned at the moment in terms of dates and courses and where were going to stay, the first course we play is gonna be about 10 am, second 1 ish and third about 4 of course depending on driving time and course length and what not, i'd like some help if anyone knows any good campgrounds in the Manitowac area, the more times we stay in a hotel the more money it costs and we don't get to have a campfire and what not, also if any leagues coincide with any of the days (you'll have to look at a calendar to see what day of the week it is were goin to be playin a particular course) but we always love to play in those as long as they are singles leagues, and even if ya just want to play along with us, we always like a little competition, you jsut have to understand it would have to be just one or two pepl, because we have to be somewhat weary of how much time we spend at each course so we don't end up having to cancel any of the courses at the end of the day cuz we took to long, but anyway, having said all that, we'd love to play with any locals who think they can take us, and i'm sure a friendly bet would be more than acceptable, :p if you want to accept the challenge, just tell us what course and what day on the trip it is and we'll definietly set something up

By the time of your trip, Adrian Campground will likely be 18. I completed the design last week and the owner has the baskets ready to be installed. I'll update the PDGA Course listing as soon as he lets me know they're in.

Another thing we'd like to find out are there any good bars anywhere by where we're staying? two of us are 21, so we can check those out. with a trip of 4 guys, it would be nice to get some honey's to party with.

You are camping 2 nights in New London and yet I don't see that you are playing the 18 course there. It's a nice course, a little flat but nice. You may want to drop one of the day 7 courses and add New London for your convenience. Ask No_Limit which one he would drop if you have any questions. Day 8's courses are too good to drop. Telulah doesn't have tee signs but since you're going to be there on a Sunday you should be able to follow the group ahead of you.

We are installing on May 28th a disc golf course in Mukwonago WI. It will be one the state's finest. We will update the PDGA course directory after the installation is complete. This course will be a can't miss on your tour!

We were told earlier in this forum that New London was an "object" target course, which takes half the fun out of playing it, has it changed to baskets now? and were coming back to camp most days with an hour or more of daylight, so we'd easily be able to slip it into any evening we want to without having to drop any courses, we just figured it wasn't even worth trying if we were just throwing to trees and whatnot

There are 18 baskets now. I think they were just put in last fall. I was told at our (Appleton) club meeting in March that concrete tees were going in just as soon as the ground firmed up. Yeah, if you have a free hour in your schedule it's worth stopping by and playing.

Good luck.

Hey guys, since we have everything so nicely planned out, we're thinking that it should be fairly easy to set up times to play with locals. If you see a course near you and you are available during the approximate time of the day. (judging from where we're camping and driving times, we figure bout 2 hours for an 18 holer, you guys are smart enough to figure it out.) But let us know, we are somewhat flexible too, if you get off work later or what not. Contact either Innova_Beast or myself and we'll exchange information and set up times and locations. And as I.B. mentioned earlier... we are open to small wagers ;) Hopefully we can just get some guys out there to toss with us. It's always nice to meet fellow discers from other areas. We'll keep you guys updated.

One thing I forgot to mention, is that we're bringing a video camera along with us to tape courses. We plan on editing it later and putting the clips to music. After that, we'll be burning them to DVD's. We already have two trial ones made. 10 minutes of footage yields roughly 2 minutes of video. So we're thinkin 10 days of disc trip will yeild a good amount of clips/ good shots. Let us know what ya think. Also, is there enough of a demand out there to maybe sell one or two? Thoughts and Comments appreciated.

Let me know if you have anything worth sharing.

Folks around the country might be interested in a road tale.

Joe

We can get you our trial clips, see what ya think. And you gave me an idea, don't just tape the courses, tape the trip in general. We were going just for awesome shots, but be sure, we'll be capturing plenty of footage.

I'd just like to thank everybody who recommended courses for us to hit. We enjoyed all of them except Winter Park in Keuwanee. Nice signs, nice baskets, horrible maintenance. The grass was taller than the baskets at some points. But other than that, we throughly enjoyed our road trip. We did have to cut a few courses at the end because 10 days of disc was a little much.

We might take a mini disc trip up the Cities this August to play the highlights of last year's trip. Next year we plan on going to Iowa, so be watching for that thread in the future.

Thanks again guys for posting and the local's that played a round with us. Everybody have a great rest of the summer

I'd be interested in hearing more about your trip through the Badger state. If you have time give us some of your highlights like toughest hole, toughest course, favorite course, wildlife seen, nightlife, any aces, etc.

Thanks for visiting us. :cool:

Sorry this is coming so late, but I figured before we start planning our trip next year, that we should wrap this years up.



First off, I'd like to thank everybody who helpped us choose the courses. The information was invauluable. The locals we encountered were very helpful and friendly. We even were invited to a few parties while we were out there.


Secondly, I'd like to say that the scenary was beautiful. I expecially liked it along the Manitowoc/Two Rivers area. Right along the SW edge of Lake Michigan. I've actually included it in my area to consider moving to after college. Along with the scenary, there were no bugs! Seriously, except on one course, which i think was Winter Park. Other than that, it was amazing.


Third, as far as stats go. Toughest hole is a hard thing to recall. Toughest course is hard to remember as well. I'd have to say either Token Creek or Village Park. Mainly because I have the accuracy, but not the distance. If i'm thinking of the right parks, they were both filled with monster drives that the other guys burned me on. Token creek was still probably my favorite though. You could tell the $ you had to pay was put directly back into the course. We were all very impressed with it.


Two of the four of us got aces. Both happend on the Two Rivers course. Justin hit one on hole #2, and Chase hit one on hole #15 (317 ft)


Wildlife: We saw a Bald Eagle in it's nest in Tellulah Park; I believe. Night life wasn't too excellent. One of the guys was 21, but when we stayed in Green Bay on a Friday night, he didn't want to come out with me. So I ended up checking out the bars by myself. Ended up in a bar called [I'm a potty-mouth!] & Bull. It was fun. Had a beer, smoked a stogie, talked with locals.


Again, i'm sorry it took so long to get back to everybody. Thanks again for your help. If anybody knows anything about the Iowa courses, thats where we'll be heading next year. Look for the thread to start around December.

Whats up man :cool:

I had a lot of fun showing the Appleton Area courses to you guys. Your friend's basket hit on the 463' hole 1 at Plamann was pretty sweet! (slighty downhill but still plays around 400'-420'.) Too bad it didn't go in /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

If you guys decide to come to WI again let me know.

Peace
