Tucked in a corner of Southern Michigan, the Victory Park Disc Golf Course calls many disc golf enthusiasts to indulge in a rather entertaining round. Established in 2007 and featuring a nice selection of 18 holes, it’s chosen for its strategic layout and challenging course.
Course Specifications
The course comes with concrete tees and Mach V targets, which are silver and a bit hard to spot. It offers some unique challenges that will test players of all levels:
- Park Accessibility: The park is open year-round, providing players the ability to match their game with the changing seasons.
- Mixed-Use Park: This course is part of a multi-use park offering baseball fields, children’s play areas, and picnic spots, so stay alert for other park users.
Playing Experience
Whether you’re aiming for casual play or a competitive match, the course boasts some features that enhance your gaming experience:
- Holes Variety: The course unfolds in three distinct sections. The first eight holes pass through a wooded area, holes 9-14 go along the water, and holes 15-18 return to a slightly wooded area (bring a versatile disc like a Zone or Toro).
- Challenging Elements: The terrain and unique layout provide a variety of challenges, including water hazards, elevation changes, and blind spots.
- Scenery: Along with the game, you will enjoy scenic views of the river and the robust forest that line this course.

Potential Improvements
While I enjoyed my time at Victory Park, there are a few areas that could use some improvement:
- Visibility Issues: The baskets are hard to see, and there’s no clear direction to the next tee, leaving players to guess and wander a bit.
- Park Users Interference: Due to its location within a multi-use park, some holes go right over picnic tables and popular areas. I had to skip a couple of holes due to other park users.
Conclusion
Regardless of its few flaws, the Victory Park Disc Golf Course provides a fun and engaging experience. It’s a nature-infused playground that both pushes your game and pleases your senses with its beautiful surroundings. Try it out; I promise it will be a game to remember!
