GOOD COURSE, BAD PRICE

Tried out the frisbee golf course at Rolling Hills, southeast of Ann Arbor the other day. Actually wanted to try out the course at Brown Park in Ann Arbor, but that one is no longer in existence.

As for the RH course, I am currently ranking it 4th on my list of favorites. It would have been 3rd if not for the $9 charge for non-resident parking. The course itself goes through a lot of woods, and there is some rough, but not so thick that you will lose your disc. Had more than a few shots go off into the rough, but spotted each one right away. Didn't have to waste time searching. Plus you do get some chances in-between holes to actually enjoy a bit of the nature around you. This course is what that aggravating course in Findlay wishes it was.

You do have to deal with trees on a lot of holes, but the only one I would take a chainsaw to is the one to the left as you tee off on the 9th hole, which has clearly blocked a lot of drives because it is covered with divots.

So if you don't mind the steep parking fee (or you can find a place nearby to stash your vehicle and walk in), give Rolling Hills a go. Frankly if I lived nearby I would make a killing charging frisbee golfers 4 or 5 bucks to park!
