Crystal Mountain

The course begins at the base of the hill just outside the 'Zone, which also has discs for sale. Although located at a privately owned resort, disc golf is FREE to play at Crystal Mountain!

Description: course winds gradually up an easy ski run (Nason's Trail) to a spectacular panoramic view on hole #6 - on clear days, you can see Lake Michigan! The last two holes are gradual downhill monsters - measuring 1078' and 1220' from the gold (longest) tees.

Wildman's Burrito Guide: It doesn't get any better than this...you can literally walk off from hole 9 to the Wild Tomato (no I did not make that up), which has a great Wet Burrito in addition to a ton of other delicious food.
