Pros:
-- New Dynamic Disc Veteran baskets.
-- Navigation is mostly easy.
-- Slight elevation in the park is well used.
-- Disc golf only area.

Cons:
-- No map.
-- No tee signs. Poles at natural tee pads just had a number (at least eight of the nine did).
-- Tee "pads" are not good. Uneven and not defined in any way. Sometimes it took me a minute to figure out which direction I was throwing.
-- Because of no map and no tee signs, there are a few time you wonder if you are throwing to the correct basket. On No. 3 you can see two baskets; throw to the one to the right; the one on the left is No. 4. And on No 7, you can't see the basket as the hole plays uphill, and the basket is just over the crest of the hill.
-- No amenities at course such as restroom, water or seating at T pads. I believe there is a restroom at the marina.
-- Trees are sparse and poorly used. Frequently a basket is set outside of a tree line or in front of instead of using the trees to add challenge. No. 1 has you teeing from a stand of trees to a basket out in an open field. Reversing that would make a much better hole. No. 7 has a tree line right of the basket that would add some challenge and interest, but you again throw into an open field.
-- Ground is uneven, making an ankle injury a real possibility.

Other Thoughts:
-- When you enter the park from St. Paul Road, turn right to go to the guard shack. You'll pay $3 per car and $3 per person to enter the park, so $6 if you are solo. Follow that road for about a mile. You'll see a basket or two on your right. Take the first right and park on the side of the road. The No. 1 tee is in the trees to your right.
-- After playing No. 1, you'll see a path through the trees; take it and you'll wind up at the No. 6 tee. Go right from there to get to No. 2.
-- Only two holes are shorter than 300 feet; both are 290-plus and play uphill.
-- If you pay $6 just to play disc golf here, you will be disappointed. If you're in the park for other reasons, and the disc golf is a bonus, you might be OK with the course.
