Bird's Ruins DGC

"Signage leaves something to be desired"

"Rough is starting to get bad. "

"Some tree guarded holes can eat you alive because it's a toss and pray for most part on those but otherwise this place is fantastic!!"

"Best course in dane county! "

"Great winter course. All tee pads were clear of snow. The down hill hole is awesome "

"Fun course but super easy to loose discs"

"Bad course rough to high can’t see where you throw "

"Challenging. Interesting. "

"These are not all par 3s, especially from longs. If updated would be a 5 star. Very difficult course, but very well laid out. Need to really plan your shots. Also bring a spotter 🤣🤣"

"Tall grass "

"Absolutely amazing! Very very well manicured lots of different shots punishment for bad shots. This is how courses should be designed"

"Gorgeous area! I’m a beginner so this course was challenging. Almost lost a disc a few times. But there are so many options at this course! There are also some really cool obstacles so all in all a really awesome place to come to. You do have to pay a few but just bring $5 in cash and it’s super easy. Online process is not as easy. "

"Awesome course!!! Highly recommended Could use more directional signs tho."

"Beautiful course. Concrete teepads, beautifully mowed fairways, good signage, and a lovely setting. The rough is as rough as they say."

"Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs"

"Super fun but not for the faint of heart or solo first timer. Lots of blind, thick, tall grass mid summer. Have a spotter and enjoy a great course"

"Awesome course! Bring your bug spray, the skeeters were in full force "

"Such. A. Cool. Course. Definitely have a spotter. Many different layouts and unique holes. Neat course around! "

"Rough was too rough for us. Disc losing paradise if you’re not extremely accurate with your throws. Would call this very non-friendly for beginners."

"Long tees are a joke. Short tees are great "

"Spotters are a must if you’re going from the long tees. The tall grass is still very manageable on May 20th, but is coming in quick. We were going at a good pace and the round took 4+ hours."

"Signage could be better. Hard course with thick brush that eats discs alive. Need to need to watch your shots every shot. "

"Could use a mowing"

"Very beautiful course with some awesome holes. I will say, don’t miss your line."

"Decent course! "

"Beautiful course. Lots of exciting throws. "

"Solid course. Kind of open but long grass and unique trees make a good rough"

"Variety. Kind of open but ple ty of shapes needed. Lots of options. Marked reasonably well. Pins are a bit old. Nice tee pads. "

"Amazing. First ace!! #25"

"Unfortunately lost my zone on hole 12, but a very fun course"

"Stat o ur of the rough it’s a great course otherwise "

"Fun course to play in fall/spring, would not play in summer"

"Ticks, nats and tall grass isn't ideal but great par 4s for the Pro tees. Great variety here."

"Need a spotter for most of the holes."

"True prairie setting. Good mix between holes. You might spend more time looking for your discs than throwing them. Ha!"

" We played the shorts, udisc is off on probably 6 holes, needs fixed. The pro pads are stupid. It's not about difficulty kts about concept. But whatevr. Good course"

"Some tee signs are off and walking to the next holes is like a maze for most holes but the course itself is beautiful and not kind for off the fairway shots"

"Great course stay in the fairway."

"Bring a spotter, the rough is very thick. Epic layout though!"

"Great course, keep on the fairway and your good "

"Design is great! Needs some new signs and some signs that help direct you from hole to tee. Fairly challenging and absolutely beautiful! BRING BUG SPRAY!"

"BEWARE! VERY DIFFICULT COURSE FOR AMATEURS. Long distances, tight fairways. And disc eating high grass rough. Layout is confusing. I would not do this course without someone who knows it."

"Great course but look out for wild parsnips I’m the rough on the holes 1-5 and holes 8-10 all was off the fairway except I believe hole 9 there was some on the fairway. This is was 5/1/21 It was all new growth so it does seem like they are trying to keep up on it, so just be aware. "

"Absolutely lush and beautiful, creative layout and diverse terrain. However, bring your machete and your strongest deet, because this rough us 6 feet tall."

"Local gem that is well maintained with long and short tee pads. The local club does a great job with keeping the course looking nice year-round. Birds will show its teeth when in full bloom with some unforgiving rough."

"Probably best played in late fall. "

"Great course. Have a spotter in the summer on some holes because if you miss the fairway the rough is dense. Great mix of elevation forest and prairie holes. Well worth the drive for 27 holes and some challenge."

"Grass is mostly tampted down. "

"Amazing course. Lots of fun bomber holes and quite challenging. #12 is unique. Rough is rough though."

"Could use some fairways cleaned up from overgrowth starting to block shots. Some bad rough placement. Overall looking good. Play with a spotter. "

"Pros: you want a challenge? You found it. Cons: course needs more signage after holes to find next one. Suggestion: use a spotter. Go with someone who knows the course. "

"Great 27 hole course will all types of shots possible. If you’re not very experienced and can’t hit the fairway consistently you might want to go elsewhere as the rough is thick. Just like every great course this one is challenging and rewarding if you hit your lines."

"Tee signs don’t reflect fairways on all holes. Could use signage directions to next hole!!!"

"Great course in theory but the extreme late season overgrowth make it a puckerfest for those who dare to challenge many of the baskets. Bring extra discs and bug spray."

"Nice shots, but very deep rough. Play in a group so you can spot. Very beautiful views, definitely worth the drive."

"Always overgrow, makes almost impossible if you don’t stay on the fairway."

"rough is horrible"

"FYI When paying online put the yearly pass into your cart and there will be an option for a daily pass before final checkout 4’ tall grasses eat discs and mosquito infestation eats you, play in Fall/Winter"

"Some nice holes, beautiful prairies but the rough was very rough. Very easy to lose a disc. "

"Fun course, but the rough is brutal and you'll be visiting it a lot. Bring really strong bug spray and some friends to spot for you. "

"Challenging course. Lots of excellent views. Can be a bit tough to find your way if it’s your first time out. Worth the drive from Madison. Bring Deet bug spray. "

"Great in the fall!"

"don’t play if you can’t keep the disc in fairway"

"1-4 was just cleaned up, looking great. 28 is the only hole missing right now. "

"Too wet and muddy"

"This is my favorite course! Perfect mixture of wild and manicured terrain. Gorgeous property! A great course that rewards good shots and punishes bad ones. "

"I would like to try this course in the winter.... mosquitoes in August took away from the experience... course layout was great. Like the views and variety of holes "

"Mosquitoes are bad but the course is amazing!!"

"Mosquitoes everywhere"

"Very well groomed and very technical! Route markers to next hole can lead you away. UDisc course map GPS got us back on the right route. Clean restroom at parking. Heavy mosquito and deer fly population!!! Great course to test your skills. Thick OB, so stay on course. Lots of fun... enjoy. Oh, and the 27 hole layout is the only map created, but accurate!"

"Stay out the rough and you’ll have a lovely time!"

"Very poorly labeled, Great Course "
