Orchard Trail 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 13, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

+ Very clean and well maintained
+ 3 holes is better than none (Brooklyn Park has 30 holes of free disc golf)
+ #3 is excellent. A long, left curve, scattered trees, rough, water and elevation (as well as the wind) make for a challenging hole.
+ Pretty good at avoiding other park activities

Cons:

- Holes 1 and 2 are wide open
- Hole 3 plays along the walking path (watch for people)
- Limited parking (12 spaces) but there is street parking too (not penalizing for parking)
- Depending on when you play, there may be a lot of kids running around who don't know what disc golf is and they can be in the way. Most of the time, they stick to the playground

Other Thoughts:

This is a good example of what a small neighborhood course can look like.
When this course was first put in I was very confused by it. "Why would they only do 3 holes?"
"Why is there a practice basket"
Over time I like this little course more and more.
Good for a quick stop during commute, warm-up, cool down, practice, trying out new discs, possibly used by the high school students on lunch break.
I usually play it as 4 holes (4th hole is basket 3-practice basket
If you want to play it as 9 different holes (only if park is empty)

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Its hard to lose a disc here... its a place to go to work on distance. Very nice tees, and baskets. A nice 3rd hole with water and the uphill shot. A nice practice basket similar to Central.

Cons:

I think that they have enough room at this park to develop this small course. Put some trees and a few more baskets in and in a couple year we could have ourselves the twin cities first "executive nine" course in disc golf. But its not developed at all and it is completely wide open.

Other Thoughts:

Nice little park... like said before me Central is everything this park wants to be.
