Awesome!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 11, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is sick. Long mix of every thing left, right, up down, woods, water and open. This is a hard course that will test any player. Great use of a ski hill in the off season. They have a bar and a pro shop. The people are friendly and helpful. The course is five dollars to play but it is well worth the money. You can camp there and play the course all weekend. This course also over looks a state park and is very beautiful. The lay out is great and it is an excellent work out going up and down the ski hill. Very challenging and well thought out. They have a great cannon hole that is absolutely amazing & is a tribute to the old kaposia hole but its better. Defiantly one of the best course I have ever played. Almost a perfect course.

Cons:

The only two things that could make this course better would be having cement tee pads on all the holes and being better maintained as in trails, stairs and bridges. This course will test you physically and mentally I think this is a plus but some might see it as a con.

Other Thoughts:

I can't wait to play this course again. I will try to play it anytime I am in the area.

Pros:

This course offers a little of everything you could ask for in a disc golf course. Up's, down's, left's, right's, straight's, tunnel's, and open holes. Very good mix. B pins on over half of the holes. It is a 24 hole course that plays half on the mountain and the other half in the white cedar forest. A natural spring feeds a creek on a couple of holes in the forest. O.B. on 7 of the holes. Holes 12 - 14 have a old Kaposia layout feel to them. Holes 19 - 21 start at the mountain summit and are hugh down hill bomber shots. Awesome views from up there. You finish the course with 3 water holes that shoot up to and over a spring feed pond. Great for taking a swim after a hot day. Course has many birdie opportunities if you can keep it in the fairways and make your putts. Very challenging in the B pin positions. Garbage cans and water coolers on almost every hole.

Cons:

Tee boxes are natural and some of them can be pretty slippery when wet.

Other Thoughts:

Not too many places I know of that you can sit down at the club house and get a beer and pizza after you round. The course is always expanding. Talking with Logger the course designer, he told me that next year the course is going to expand to a 27 holes layout and by 2011, they plan on splitting the course in half and making it into two 18 holes courses and have a camping facility as well.

Pros:

Tremendous layout, many different styles of holes. Brian has played enough courses to know what works, and it definately shows. This is not a course to play for beginners, go to the new Morgan Park course if you are. This has to be the premier course in this part of the state. My playing partners and I agree, this has to be right up there with Kaposia, and Blue Ribbon Pines, and any other course we have played (60+). Take your time, you may want to play twice, but you may be unable to (lots of hiking).

I didn't think the distances between holes were bad, maybe they have changed since Guurn's review. We did play in an on/off rainstorm, and the terrain was slick (clay). The signage is good enough to get through, once you play it one time, you will definatly know where to go the 2nd round.

Cons:

Slippery slope, perhaps a better map @ club house, or signs w/ layout on them. The signs currently just state distance/par.

Other Thoughts:

Great chat w/ Brian after the round. We were on our way up to Grand Marais, or we could have stayed and played all day. If you are going to Duluth to play disc golf, maybe play Morgan Park to warm up, then head here and stay here. Beer, great disc golf and conversation!
