Pros: -Variety, for as crowded as the rest of campus is, this course is fairly spread out and contains all kinds of shots. Uphill, downhill, open, wooded, left, right. You are also unlikely to hit any students except maybe seminary ones.
-Not too crowded as only students are supposed to play it.
-Nice big concrete tees
-Nice baskets with numbers on top facing the tees
-Trees and grass are nice, it isn't played enough for them to get too damaged.
-Multiple tees on every hole. May not be the easiest to find if you don't know the course.
-It was the perfect level of a challenge, not too much that you are frustrated to no end but not that it was boring either.

Cons: -No signage but it isn't that hard to follow, especially after you play with a student a few times. There are a few weird walks in there though. Could use a map or some on-course signs. Even one right at the start would be nice.
-typical MN summer issues of poison ivy and bugs can arise
-Could lose a disc on a few holes. Especially that one that runs along the lake. 4, maybe?

Other Thoughts: A friend of mine attends school here so I get to play when I visit him! Make this a day trip and head north to Blue Ribbon Pines! This course is different from the typical publicly owned or pay to play courses. I highly recommend it.
DURING THE SUMMER YOU CAN JUST GO ONTO CAMPUS!! THEY MIGHT BE MORE STRICT DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

Other Thoughts:
This course was rated 4/5, which seems too high compared to some of the other courses nearby, but it is very challenging. If you're a righty, hole #4 is a disc eater - very narrow fairway with trees on the right and a lake on the left

If I Were Younger, I'd Enroll!
Pros: This is one sweet nine hole course for the students here. The baskets are DGA with the red numbers facing the right way. It has great trapazoid teepads although a couple were a slightly smaller version. There are no signs although I was able to follow it easily with the help of the on-line map and by asking a future man of the cloth. Holes 1,2 & 3 play in a lovely section of the campus with green, rolling hills and old growth trees. 4 & 5 then play along wet marshy areas and then 6,7 & 8 play up the power lines. 9 and 10 were either brillant or confusing to me. I'll get back to them. The first three were absolutely charmingly, great disc golf holes. I loved them. # 4 was a fairly long straight hole (maybe 300 ft.) with wetland tight on the left side and not much of a fairway. The risk/reward here was scary. I liked # 5 a lot but not today after recent heavy rains. It's a tricky little downhill anhyser flip shot through some trees, probably only 160 ft, but today the water was up to within 10 feet from the basket. There was almost no room for error today. # 6 plays uphill then # 7 is a powerline bomb from an elevated, landscaped teebox. I got confused when I reached # 9. If you play it, you have to turn around and backtrack all the way back to play # 10. Or you can skip # 9 and end with # 10 which is a very cool finishing hole indeed. It's the signature hole here, IMO, about a 285 downhill throw through the trees to a basket in the lawn far below. I think maybe the idea here is; Where your dorm is might determine which hole you finish with? If you live this way in this dorm, finish with # 9. If you live in these dorms, finish with the signature hole # 10.
Cons: Besides the fact that it's private and we're all sneaking on and playing it. I observed a beer bottle on # 2. Either harr0140 left it or a seminary student wasn't following the rules. There were a couple of longer walkouts.
Other Thoughts: I saw some coeds of the female variety and they were smoking hot so I've decided if I were younger, this would be the school for me. A great little course to play and lovely coeds. I'd enroll, play golf by day and chase the christian cuties by night until they caught onto my scam. Then they would send my heathen behind out the back gate. Maybe tarred and feathered. Who knows? It might be worth it!

Pros: 1) One of the best 9 hole courses I have played to date.
2) Nice DGA Mach baskets with the number plate always facing the tee . . . nice to see it done right!
3) Some alternate pins appeared visible to me, unless it was just an old sleeve I saw???
4) Nice design to incorporate some really diverse pieces of this property.
5) Nice trapezoidal concrete tees although some seemed to be narrower than others.
6) Nice variety of shot required, there are holes that go either direction, straight, uphill, downhill.
7) There are some nice moderately wooded holes, some more open park like holes, and a couple tighter wooded shots. I love to see variety as much as anything in course design, that way you don't feel like you are just stepping up to the same hole . . . hole after hole.
8) Water in play on 2 holes although one is a creek that didn't have a lot of water and was barely in play unless you hit an early tree. The other hole was a really risky shot because of the skips going towards the water or perhaps a big anny over the water. A long hole made great because of the risk/reward.
9) Another design element I have seen a lot of lately (on my trip to NC and also TX) . . . and that is the Power Wire Right of Way. Some great holes seem to be able to be designed underneath the massive overhead power wires that run across our country! It makes me want to approach the power companies and ask about the availability of that land.
10) Nice landscaping done around a few of the tees and also out on the course in a couple places.
11) Nicely mowed course and it is obvious that they take your tuition (which I can only imagine how much this University costs) and they spend a fair amount on the landscape and maintenance.
12) Dual tees on this course plus a couple of shorter red tees.

Cons: 1) Layout is a little goofy with a long walk from #3 to #4, a disjointed hole from #7 to #8 and then a long backtrack to #9, although it is quite possible that #8 was only temporarily moved during the construction, but it is hard to tell.
2) Private course . . . not really a negative in my rating, its just a negative because it is such a good course and I will feel guilty if I ever go back there. I played quick because I didn't want to get caught . . . fortunately it was an empty campus because it was just asfter the school year ended. It also may make it better that the Seminary people must live there year round that way you aren't the only car in the area.
3) Some of the tees seemed to be narrow. I wish it was a standard that was consistent, but it seems sometimes people change the size and shape of the tee.
4) No tee signs and no directionals to direct you around the course.

Other Thoughts: There aren't a lot of negatives about this course other than flow and layout as well as no signs on the course and no directionals.
It is a great design, it has pretty good flow (outside of the two issues I mentioned) presents a constant challenge, and has awesome variety in shot selection, distance variation and overall fun factor. I just dig this course . . . too bad it is private and cannot be shared, but I totally understand why this non land grant University wants to keep it for itself . . . liability!
I think this is my first 4 disc 9 holer even though I consider it to be about a 3.75 course.

The need to sneak?
Pros: -Very quiet
-Nice Campus
-Great layout (for the most part)
-A wide variety of challenges in shots.
-It has a pretty nice flow
-There is a lot of wildlife and the course offers a very nice hike
-I've never been caught playing there :P
All and all the pros of this course outweigh the cons, drastically.

Other Thoughts: This course is very fun, and offers a feel unlike any other course in the metro. It is, however, unfortunate that it must be private. To anyone at Bethel College: Please reconsider opening your course to the public so others can enjoy this excellent course. You are one of two courses in the area (and there are a ton of courses around) that are PRIVATE (no option of even paying) Why is this? I know that a major concern is the crowd and litter that grows as you open it to the public, but with the right receptacles around, a lot of courses tend to stay pretty clean. You already have obvious foot traffic marks (which is inevitable at any course) I really would also like you to consider how hypocritical it is to be a Christian (Catholic?) College and won't share your precious Frisbee course with anyone on the outside.
I will continue to play your course and on a weekly basis. I will also continue to keep my foot traffic to a minimum and garbage to zero. Most frisbee golf players are very respectable of the land and mean no malice against yours!

Taken Aback
Pros: Id just like to say that I've played pretty much every course in the TC metro region apart from this one bcus of the whole private thing. I was in the neighborhood and decided to see if I could. I met some students at hole 9 and they said it was cool. First hole was ho-hum (not bad) but everything else was amazing. The variety of technicality of the holes impressed me to the point where I was trying to think of a better 9 holer. Those back to back stretchers (7&8 I think) were incredible- very challenging and very beautiful.
I just wanted to emphasize how nice this course is for a 9 holer.
Another pro is that its mostly litter-free.-Not even cig butts.

This review was updated on 5/7/2010
Pros: The course is secluded, quiet, and low traffic; more than likely because it's a private course reserved for use by students, faculties, and guests of either. The scenery is pretty fantastic, and allows for a variety of different shots: open fields, water hazards, elevation changes, and moderately wooded holes. Concrete tee boxes are a plus on the yellow tees and two of the blues. Pin placements change once in a while for most of the holes, and with two avid disc golfers and a decent DG community, the course is continuing to grow and develop still.
The course plays pretty straightforward, and is fairly useful for just about any level of player, from the beginners to the pro's.

Cons: The blue tees, which offer a challenge, are poorly marked, hard to find, and not maintained much at all. They are just grass/dirt that has come through with erosion of the players who have found them.
Lack of garbage and the emptying of the few there are on the course can cause a bit of garbage to find itself laying around- but usually it's a very clean course.

Other Thoughts: Challenging course, friendly community, dedicated people working to make it better.
**If you play this course, please DO NOT destroy the trees or course. The disc golf community at Bethel has tried very hard at getting this course going, and it won't take too many events of people continuing to rip up trees or littering or causing a ruckus to have it removed. If you are visiting, try to be on your best behavior please and thanks.**

Great course
Pros: I agree with posborne a lot. I am also a student at Bethel and get a chance to play this course almost everyday, and often times twice a day. I find Bethel's course significantly more diverse and challenging than many of the other courses in the area (Hansen and Silverview for example).
Good mix of distance as well as the type of shots necessary.
It's not a very busy course.

It's not a very busy course.
Cons: Most of the blue tees still don't have cement tee pads.
At the wrong time of the year, it's easy to end up in a big patch of burrs.
If you are unlucky enough to throw into the water (or get a bad bounce off of a tree into the water), the weeds can make it hard to find even if you are willing to go wading and looking for it.
Only one trashcan on the course.

Other Thoughts: This is by far one of my favorite courses. It is a lot of fun, close to where I live, and generally not real busy. I do, however, have to pick up trash almost every time I play the course. If you do play this course please throw your trash away, and not on the ground.

Solid Course
Pros: I am a student at Bethel and have played the course nearly every day this past year (barring the winter months). I have played a number of other courses in the area but still continue to love and be challenged by this course every time I play it.
The course has 9 pins but one can play 18 holes straight through if they play the 'yellow' tees followed by the blue tees. These are not very well marked, so it might be beneficial to go with someone who has played the course before. Neither the yellow nor the blue is the 'long' tee. They should be of comparable difficulty with blue being easier some of the time and yellow being easier some of the time.
All yellow and some of the blue teepads are now concrete with possible plans to cement the remaining blue tees (or possibly add 9 more holes).
Course Highlights:
* Tricky shot between a group of dense evergreens on 1
* Lake on 4 forces a tricky, long heiser shot for RH/BH players. I've lost a few discs here.
* Close but tricky drop shot on 5 through trees (with yellow tee). This is the only hole I have aced.
* Tricky gap to hit on 6 with one of the tee positions being in a gap in the woods to the right.
* Long drive from high up on 7 lets you unload, while still forcing you to stay within the 125 ft fairway with dense woods on either side.

Cons: Signage is missing from the course, so it is essential to go with an experienced player (since it is a private course, probably a student).
During the late summer the woods and grasses get thick and it is easy to lose discs. Make sure to have a spotter if you are playing in a group. Just a little extra motivation to keep it on the fairway.

Other Thoughts: This is an excellent course and there is still student and faculty interest (including a credited Disc Golf course) in keeping it going/growing. If you play the course please do not leave trash on the course and be respectful of the course.
We would like to keep the course growing but this is impossible if the course is not adding positively to the campus ecosystem.

Review By: Texconsinite Played: 98 Reviewed: 76 Exp: 5.3 Years
This review was updated on 4/18/2009
Pros: Three Tees for every hole: the white and blue, then red for short. Especially with the white/blue setup (see below) this course has a very nice variety of different, unusual, and even unique shots. Tunnel shots, steeeeeeeep uphill long drives (holes 6, 7 & 8), steep doglegs thru trees off the top of a hill, a super-long hole underneath giant power lines, this course has everything. The only thing this course is missing is a true water hole, since the lake only comes into play on hole 4, and the wide fairway and reeds make it very easy to stay out of the water. Lots of interesting hills. College keeps their campus well maintained (not neccesarily for DG).
Very pretty setting, and its never been close to crowded when I've been there This course is a hidden gem, though it is clear that the students who made this course went through a lot of effort to make it happen, and continue to work with administrators to keep it going.

Cons: With all the variety and challenges on this course, it is on the brink of greatness. However, in some cases, it seems like the course is too hard (blue tee on hole 6 requires a loong tomahawk up a hillside just to get to where the green starts.
Also, some of the tees are very hard to find. They should post a map. Some of the stone block tees buried in the groud are hard to find, and many of the painted on distances are rubbed off the tees. I have added what hole lengths are still ledgible on the tees, and paced out the rest. Added 180ft to hole 7's posted distance because the tees reflect the old basket placement (a 180ft difference)
The Course designers have expressed a need to keep changing the course, and making it a little more difficult each time, which is unfortunate since the pin and tee placements are wonderful just the way they are. The only thing removing them from perfection is the lack of signage and the large pathes of long grass in the middle of some fairways.
(ed: 6/12/08) The never seems to be mowed, and keeps getting longer. Its like playing in a cornfield if you land off the fairway, if cornfields had itchweed and poison ivy in them. Wear longsleeves.
Since the tees are hard to find, heres a guide for the whites and blues, the reds are all pretty easy to find ( usually about 150 ft from pin)
TEE PLACEMENT GUIDE
HOLE 1: Both will shoot at basket through a gap in the wall of trees separating hole #2 from view of the parking lot.
White- Dirt patch just right of the walking path as you leave parking lot, near sewer cover.
Blue- From white tee, turn right, and follow the mowed strip along the black fence-thing parallel to edge of parking lot. You will shoot with little drainage ditches in front of and behind you.
HOLE 2:
White- From Basket 1, go left along hillside, just in front of treeline closer to parking lot walking path
Blue- to the right of Basket 1 a bit downhill, by the walking path closer to lake (the one you cross for hole 3)
HOLE 3:
White-in low area btw hills of baskets 1 & 2, (close to Blue tee #2) shoot across jogging path, thru gap in trees on riverbank (where there are stepping logs to cross), dogleg right to pin,
Blue- on same side of creek as pin, (cross walking path downhill from pin #2) shoot straight slight left fade, creek & trees on right, wooded hill on left
HOLE 4:
Whit- closer to playgorund, on the raised area by the park bench
Blue-the worn dirt spot by the lakeshore/reeds (path from hole 3 leads to them, youll see worn spot on left, uphill to the right behind a tree is other)
HOLE 5:
Blue- slightly left of lakeside path from previous basket
White- Climb hill on your right (before canoe rack) to get to small stone wall
HOLE 6:
White- just left of lakeside path from previous basket
Blue- furhter down lakeside path, blue will be on left (yes its a tough drive up the hill)
HOLE 7:
Blue- Concrete pad next to woods on the right near pin 6,
White- Stone wall area by woods on left, just uphill from blue tee #6
HOLE 8:
Blue- obvious concrete tee pad on the right just after vegetable garden
White- Before garden, follow trail into woods on the left, pin is on second rise, looking out over, the big marshy valley with long grass, and a narrow strip mowed on the right
HOLE 9: This can be tricky to find at first. From pin 8, follow gravel path to the right, through woods, back towards concrete tee for blue #8 & garden
White- is back by the vegetable garden past to Blue tee #8 (follow thin strip of grass up the hill btw garden and treeline at hills edge),
Blue- turn left into the parking lot at the bottom of the hill just below the garden.
In both cases, shoot across road into open field, & watch for joggers and cars!!

Blue- slightly left of lakeside path from previous basket
White- Climb hill on your right (before canoe rack) to get to small stone wall
HOLE 6:
White- just left of lakeside path from previous basket
Blue- furhter down lakeside path, blue will be on left (yes its a tough drive up the hill)
HOLE 7:
Blue- Concrete pad next to woods on the right near pin 6,
White- Stone wall area by woods on left, just uphill from blue tee #6
HOLE 8:
Blue- obvious concrete tee pad on the right just after vegetable garden
White- Before garden, follow trail into woods on the left, pin is on second rise, looking out over, the big marshy valley with long grass, and a narrow strip mowed on the right
HOLE 9: This can be tricky to find at first. From pin 8, follow gravel path to the right, through woods, back towards concrete tee for blue #8 & garden
White- is back by the vegetable garden past to Blue tee #8 (follow thin strip of grass up the hill btw garden and treeline at hills edge),
Blue- turn left into the parking lot at the bottom of the hill just below the garden.
In both cases, shoot across road into open field, & watch for joggers and cars!!
Other Thoughts: There's no "long tee" just white & blue, then red is the short ones.
As confirmed by one of the students in charge of its design, neither white or blue is the "long tee". Varies from hole to hole, but it is designed so that playing the nine whites is comparably difficult to playing the blues. Thus the course is meant to be played as 18, or an equally hard 'back' and 'front' nine, rather than just hard, medium and easy tees for 9.
The best way to do 18 is play all blues then all whites, or vice versa. The two sets play differently from each other on every hole, and one is significantly harder in most cases, but trust me it evens out in the end.
Use a spotter, especially on holes 6-8, or be prepared to look for a long time in the woods and long grass for your disc
!!!!!!!!Most importantly, remember that this course is at a Christian College & Seminary, so be respectful and keep the controlled substances and lewd behavior at home, or they will close this amazing course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
