I stopped in at this very popular campground on Labor Day weekend at the end of our truly bizarre 2020 summer, and found literally crowds of happy campers enjoying the beautiful weather, and all the activities you might expect: walking, biking, socializing in carts, swimming, cooking, tossing cornhole …I even saw a couple of groups playing disc golf!

The course itself is short and a little technical, meaning the small (4' x 8'), level concrete tee pads were adequate for most of the distances involved, the fairways were well kept, and forced a choice of lines amongst park trees and paths, and that the fairways led to nine DisCatcher baskets. There were decent tee signs at the single set of tees (the map online showed alternate tees for holes 1, 3, 6, 8 & 9, but I did not see them). Its difficulty level was moderately challenging for a recreational to intermediate skill set to approach the holes as 'par 3'. There's even water in play with the river to the right of hole 4. Overall, a pretty good design if the park is relatively empty…

…however, it definitely wasn't. I wouldn't be surprised if the holiday population of the campground was more than the village of Caledonia. The guys at the entry gate didn't know there was a course, but they radioed the boss, who knew enough to tell me they'd let me play (for the $5 fee), but I might not be able to play some holes. The cornhole tournament was in the 1st fairway, there was tent camping nearly attached to the 4th basket, and cars parked around the 9th, so I skipped those holes. I waited often for folks to pass by, especially on hole 3, where you cross a cart path, and on 7, where you throw pretty much at a pavilion. My first throw on hole 3 was toward the 6th basket, because it was more visible.

Course baggers (like me) will want to stop in and experience this course. I'd say, when the campground is busy, don't play here at all. But if you're camping here, and it's not crowded, you'll find this a great little course to keep your short game tuned up.
