Earl W. Brewer Park

"Fun course. Too many straight shots from the shorts for my liking."

"Course is beautiful, would just love a few more wooded holes. "

"Great course. Lots of fun shots and opportunities to stretch your distance. "

"Beautiful course! Very well kept and has Red and Gold tees for basic and advanced players. Be wary of playing after rain though as the course can retain a bit of extra water on certain holes that make for some muddy shoes."

"Great course red and gold"

"Still flooded "

"Be prepared to get feet wet"

"Muddy in the low spots"

"Muddy"

"Muddy and windy but overall good layout "

"Pretty open and some long holes. Beautiful property and some fun shots. Great signage. Great baskets. Well maintained."

"Course was dry, rough was just cut down and fair ways are well kept. Great time for this course."

"Golds is tough. But great way to get better "

"Gold was fun"

"The course is kept up nicely. It is very open and clean. It is also well marked. That said, I wasn’t crazy about the distance between the gold and red tees. That caused some confusion when trying to seek out where I was supposed to start."

"Great upkeep. Nice and open for beginners, too."

"Super good. Uphill, downhill, shaped, wooded. "

"Awesome, beautiful, shady. Long holes and short, wide open and woodsy. Covers all the bases of a good round!"

"Best in Grand Rapids area!!!"

"BUSY. VERY BUSY. Park style course. Mostly good signage, I followed Udisc. There were plenty of people just hopping in and out. Poor etiquette. A couple friendly players also. "

"Just about perfect. Has a little bit of everything! "

"Good upkeep, red and gold tee pads. Some really fun holes and ace runs. Good for all types of players and skill sets. "

"Way finding signs to the next tee are missing on some holes. Bring a hat, water, and sunscreen. Overall, nice course. "

"BEST COURSE!!!"

"Great layout with some technical holes and mostly opportunities to let it fly far. Very forgiving and a good challenge for par on the Golds. "

"I like this course. The first 6 holes from the gold are awesome, the rest require a good amount of power but aren’t very technical. The course is currently in great condition "

"Very well kept. Not difficult skill shots, good for practicing distance. "

"Quite wet in the low areas. "

"Great course of experienced players and beginners"

"Rough is very rough lol "

"Beautiful, challenging course from the golds. Only 4.5 because the rough is a bit too high in my opinion"

"Great course for advanced and beginners with the two separate pads. Long weeds make it hard to find discs in the back 9, fun and challenging"

"Great course, most open with a few wooded areas around the baskets. One of the best courses in Michigan. "

"Gold tees are significantly more difficult."

"Beautiful course. Well maintained. Feels like a "golf" course. Long and challenging open baskets. The high grasses make it tough to find disc (lost 3 today), but that's part of the challenge, right? Muddy if within a couple of days of rain, but manageable. Will be back often!"

"Great course. A little muddy right now but not bad. "

"Very muddy, otherwise a good course."

"Swampy after rain"

"Way too muddy in the spring time. Hopefully for summer it’s more dry. "

"Technical on the front, open on the back and just fun! "

"Well kept, reds and golds provide amateur and pro layouts, some wooded and some open holes. "

"Wet, bring boots"

"Hey is it closed ?"

"Golds are looonnnggg, but amazing. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time playing the reds unless you want to throw 260 ft straight shots almost 18 times. The shorts lack any technical challenge making them pretty boring even for a beginner. I definitely dont have the arm for golds, but still had fun."

"Longs are long. Hole 4 is really a par 5. UDisc has it as a 3. "

"Really a fun and challenging course. Well maintained and easy to navigate. Definitely a challenge from the gold tees but was super fun. Will definitely come back again. "

"This is not a beginner course. I liked it ok. I think the only reason I didn't love it, was cause I'm a beginner. This course is for big arms."

"Well maintained, good signage. Some wooded holes that take good power and accuracy but aren’t crazy tight, and some bomber holes on the back 9."

"nice course. good signage."

"Very clean fairways and rough. Great distance shots, incorporating moderate to difficult obstacles. Perfect for professionals and beginners alike."

"Steve Hedstroms a legend. "

"Great course! Definitely a challenge if you are new to DiscGolf. Gold tees are a challenge. "

"Muddy"

"Very challenging course. Don’t recommend for beginners on the gold tees"

"Very fun to play, large time commitment if you play gold."

"Great course. Challenging from the Golds but fun."

"Very nice course, love every bit of it. 9 holes in woods, 9 holes in field"

"Good course"

"Good blend. Well upkept and can practice distance accuracy on open holes"

"Excellent course overall! Gold tees ate challenging and has a great mixture of woods shots and open bombs. The fairways are very well maintained, the baskets are new and high quality, and the tees are excellent. Only complaint would be a few of the open holes being a bit boring. Would highly recommend but bring bug spray!"

"The first 5 holes play through a wooded area and then open to 13 long field shots. Fun to open up on. Gold tees are the way to go. That said, this course is unforgiving to beginners and people with less distance. The field play does get a little redundant by hole 14. You either bomb a driver and get a birdie look, or throw short and try to lay up for par. Not a lot of scrambling or calculator shots. They designed this course for max distance, not shot diversity and thoughtful throws."

"Very fun course. Enjoyed the tree area."

"Well maintained. Grass cut for fairways. Great signage. Wide open holes make good practice for throwing distance. "

"Really beautiful course and well maintained. They just put in all new red baskets which can be seen from a long way off. Fairway and path grass is mowed extra short; very easy to navigate the course even without a map or the udisk app."

"Sick new baskets and tee pads some holes are long just to be long..no need. Half the course is solid the other half feels like down and backs in an open field. "

"Wet "

"First time here since the new layout "

"Gold layout is challenging for intermediate level players. Shot a +8 in what felt like a decent round. Rough just got cut down. Course is mostly dry with not too many bugs."

"Wow... What an incredible gem of a course! I thought Riverside and Johnson had the GR best course title on lock, but neither of those have the variety and balance that Brewer Park (Golds) offers. Great technical lines, wooded challenges, big bomber open fields. Plenty of elevation to make the course fun as well. The short (red) tees also offer a great selection of holes and opportunity for newbies to get their feet wet. I have a new favorite course in town (well, slightly south of town)"

"I love the new t pads and course layout. The first 8 holes are wooded and can be challenging. The other 10 are wide open and require pretty good distance from the golds. This course can get very windy and adds another level of difficulty that makes this course very fun to play."

"Course was just redesigned. Very clear directions, signage, new teepads. Red was pretty easy for a person with a variety of shots. For new players, it will be more challenging but appropriately challenged. Low chance of lost discs. Great course. "

"Great course for intermediate to advanced players. Most of the holes are quite long compared to other courses in the area, so be prepared for a lot of walking. "

"Hard but fun long tees. "

"Very open. Well kept but not the most interesting."

"Cool new layout. New tee pads and signs"

"Mostly dry with some patches of snow and mud throughout."

"Great course, nicely challenging from the golds, and still accessible to beginners from the reds. Love the new layout."

"Super deep snow bring a rake to find discs "

"Clean pads, had the course to ourselves"

"The update is really nice, gold tees are very hard but good for scramble or pro matches. Red tees are on the easier side but nice as well. Back parking lot is closed, but there is a front parking lot that you can start on hole 15. The hills make it tough to play in the snow, but it is still enjoyable."

"Hole 4 is not my favorite, but has its place as a placement hole on a course that rewards distance and accuracy. Some people here rating low because they can’t reach any of the holes, but I love the new hole 5, 14, and 15"

"Pretty huge"

"The best challenge in the area"

"New layout is an improvement! Beginners who throw under 300ft should play the reds. Nice long tee pads and some holes that make you strategize your next shot versus most courses where you just try to park it on every hole. "

"Super windy and lots of fun "

"My home course, been playing here since they had 4 courses, (Red, White, Blue, and Gold). I still play here after 10 years, and I have lost a few discs, (my fault) but its overall the AWESOME COURSE"

"Hole four is uncalled for."

"Ok course, very long and open, good first half with tighter more inventive lines but then it is just open and a little boring, bring your drivers. Good quality baskets, tees, singage, and upkeep, "

"R.i.p. guy. If ya know ya know"

"Not for me. Back 9 is boring. Long field holes. Definitely not for beginners or intermediates. Tough distances for posted pars. Lots of PI spotted, and just generally not well maintained growth-wise. I've got four courses closer to home that I'll stick with."

"This course before was a tough course for lower level players, but it was a fun challenge, now it’s just stupid. Some holes don’t make any sense, the layout is pretty confusing and honestly if you’re not a pro, don’t even attempt this course anymore. "

"Great new redesign and the new signs and tees are amazing"

"It’s an okay course. It’s not one I’d travel more than 20 minutes for. It’s clean fairways, decent tee pads and found out way easily without a map. I wouldn’t consider it at all technical and could easily shoot under par. Grass is cut, no issues. "

"Lots of variety of shots: technical trees, uphill, downhill, tight gaps, and a lengthy hole 18!"

"First 8 were fun and through the woods, but finding the “short” tee pads were difficult as they had no signage on them. Front half was fun although fairly flat and not too technical. Back half is just an open field. Can’t really understand how this hosted a major tournament in 2017... it wasn’t terrible... but I probably wouldn’t go back. "

"Really busy"

"Super flooded when played"

"Course overall is very nice, has a good range of different shots to get through. Front half is wooded while the back half is all wide open."

"Good mix of technical and open"

"Front 9 are nice mix of technical shots playing through open woods. Back 9 really let’s you open up your shot and play the long game. Pretty dense once you leave the fairways. Family 9 could use some upkeep, but a great course overall. One of the most fun in the GR area. "

"Some signage is missing but is one of the strongest courses in the Grand Rapids area. Not really beautiful tho. "

"Little wet yet"

"Course is a little muddy now. Try to keep in fairways, because outside of fairways are hard to find discs."

"A uninspiring but solid advanced or beginner course. With 425 to 450 feet of distance the long tees come into play. Short tees are decent for other players although a bit easy for intermediate players making a gap in the course design. Some decent holes but the middle holes are bland wide open with little technicality. Well maintained. "

"Really enjoyed the course. Mild wooded shots with some open fields. Good if u wanna sling it. But won't go back because of all the weeds next to the fairway. Lost 2 discs. I don't have the best aim but still."

"Good course, quite difficult and it can get wet in spots but it's still nice."

"Very wet but fun!"

"Too wet and muddy"

"Nice course, only got through 9 holes cause I lost a disc and was too bummed to finish. If anyone finds a pink Brodie Smith AvengerSS in the woods on 8 please let me know! 616-498-1175"

"Well maintained but the parking lot closest to hole 1 is closed. Easy to start from hole 9 by the other parking lot. Hole 8 and 9 are pretty muddy."

"Holes 8 & 9 have water in the fairway! The green on hole 1 is muddy. Some other muddy areas if you get off the fairways. Overall very playable! Great course! "

"Missing lots of signs and basket 5 says practice on it, other head got cracked"

"Well designed and clearly posted. "

"Beautiful course. Red tees great for beginners gold add that good challenge to the course "

"New redesign is awesome! Definitely more challenging from the Gold's than the old championship 18. I think hole 4 is getting a bad rap right now due to the lack of growth on trees and the signage not being set up yet. I think when signs are up and the leaves come back in it will be a really cool par 5 that is all about smart placement shots."

"Difficult course Well kept up, used to be three holes of 18 now one with championship holes "

"One of my favorite courses to play. Challenging with a mix of wooded and wide open shots. I highly recommend this course. "

"I remember playing this course before it was 18. Nice course but cam get muddy sometimes. Easy to lose your discs between holes 10-15 do to the long grass. "

"Pretty difficult champion level course, excited to see it after the redesign!"

"The family friendly 9 hole isn’t kept up at all, that could be a great little warm up but the grass and weeds are so high that you can barely walk through it let alone find your disc at all. Champ 18 is great, challenging but getable. Calls for different shots. Really great use of land."

"Some muddy spots in and around the fairways of the more wooded holes, but this course is fantastic!"

"Great tees and baskets. It has a mix of lengths and different shots you have to throw. Good use of the elevation. The first 7 holes are semi wooded to wooded. Length, Elevation & wind are the main factors on the remaining holes. A couple of old classic (original 18 hole layout) Brewer holes were used in the redesign. Great course overall! I really enjoy holes 1-8 & 16-18. Holes 7 and 18 are especially good."

"Front 9 is awesome, back 9 is just straight, far shots. Wish the back 9 was slightly more interesting. Fun course. Doesn't do well with water. "

"Long grass on half the holes makes it look beautiful. Unfortunately, it eats discs and breeds ticks. Lost one disc, found 7 tics between two people. "

"Hole 4 is the worst designed hole in west Michigan"

"Edit: Poison Ivy in the tall grass. Don't play here. Fair ways are mowed, anywhere else bring a machete. If you don't have perfect aim being extra discs."

"Super wet and swampy today."

"muddy "

"Pretty wet on some holes, tree blocking path to 16"

"Front 9 is slightly wooded, back 9 is pretty open. Having a big arm definitely helps. New teepads, teesigns, and baskets installed. "

"very wet. Bring waterproof shoes!"

"I feel like this will become a regular for me once the ground dries up"

"Super muddy right now"

"Wet"

"Good course but incredibly confusing plus pads have been pulled. Would suggest going with someone who has played here before. Really well done course once you figure it out. "

"Fun course. First half is through the woods, second half is wide open. Good signage."

"I love the updates they’ve made. Idk why people are complaining about the length of the course, they added short tees to most holes. The u-turn par 5 is a little wonky but I think it’s because I haven’t figured out how to play it yet. "

"Great for children"

"No way the pars are correct. Come on 800 ft par 3's? Absolutely ridiculous!"

"Mow the 3’ tall rough"

"Needs to be mowed "

"Needs signage "

"Very wet still"

"Course has dried out nicely. Still a few spots of mud and a couple places with a small amount of water. Currently the course is set up as the champion 18 long course "

"Great course. Maybe the signage gets put up in the spring. Not well defined now"

"Mapped improperly. Not an am course lol"

"One drainage ditch in the SW field. Just one afternoon with a backhoe is all it needs and the swamp is gone."

"New redesign is great. Everyone complaining about how confusing it is or that it’s too hard should play the reds and suck it up. The golds are challenging and well designed, and the reds are exactly what you want from a set of short tees with some challenging, yet much shorter shots."

"Favorite course in Grand Rapids area. Has a little bit of everything. Have a blast every time I play here"

"Fairways and tall rough IS mowed."
