Pros: Dual tees on most holes (single tee pad on 3 and 8) with concrete pads for long tees.

Good mix of open and wooded holes. As well as some modest elevation changes. Hole 2 is a blind shot up and over a hill. Hole 3 is a shoots down from the top of a hill.

6 of the 9 holes are under 300' so it is a good course for beginners to play at.

Mailbox at first tee marked 'Scorecards'. (was empty the last time I played)
Cons: It was very muddy around the tee pads when I played. Some new sod would work well there.

Holes 1-5 are on one side of the park, while holes 6-9 are on the other side of the park. If you don't know where you are going, it can be a little confusing.

Walking path wanders around park. You have to throw over the path on hole 3. You need to make sure no one is coming.

As stated in the 'Pros' section, 6 of the 9 holes are under 300'. Players with big arms will need to leave thier drivers in the bag.

Other Thoughts: This park has been very busy most of the time. I spent a lot of time waiting at the first tee waiting to start my round. Also waited at a few other tee pads. Would be nice to have some benches for people who are waiting.

After playing hole 5, walk through the parking lot, follow path between playground and water park. The tee pad for hole 6 will be on the left side of the path behind the water park.

Playground, pool, softball field and picnic tables in the park as well.

I have played this course when it was very windy and my disc landed on the highway (hole 4, big gust of wind). Keep you drives low when it is windy.

Pros: This course has a lot of changes in elevation in the first 5 holes and on the back 4, they're in a lightly wooded area. 7 of the holes are between 200 and 305 feet. There is one that is 175 feet or so down a hill, which would be easy but the wind blows in your face on this hole. There's one hole, number 8 that is 400 feet and in the middle of some trees.
There's two holes that have water that come into play, but are easily avoidable.
Also, if you're playing in the summer, there's a water park in the middle of the disc golf area.
Cement tee pads.
Cons: The course is in a park that is heavily used. I was there in the middle of the summer when it was about 95, and the water park in the middle of the park had about 250 people there.
Also. it's tricky to find your way from 5 to 6, it took my group about 10 minutes to find it the first time.

Pros: -No lost discs, unless you hit the water hazard next to hole 5.
-Nice tee boxes and chains.
-Easy to follow.
-Some decent elevation changes to spice it up.
-If you are willing to take a swim you may find discs in the pond by 5. My group found 12 of them.
-Swimming pool with slides to cool off at on a hot day.
-Score cards located in mailbox at hole 1(although they were out when i was there)
-Few large mature trees.
-Well groomed and maintained.
-Easy to find near freeway.

Cons: -Very busy with disc golfers, swimmers, and any other type of person you expect in a city park.
-Not a lot of trees or other obstacles.
Other Thoughts: Make sure you know to follow the path from 5-6 otherwise it may appear to be a 5 hole disc golf course.

 A nice little course.

Pros: This is my favorite Minnesota course, I've probably played it 30 times. It's a quick play with a nice mix of challenging and easy holes. The course is groomed so lost discs aren't an issue (unless you hit the freeway or water hazards). The course does have some moderate elevation changes and some scattered trees to add complexity.
Cons: Not too terribly challenging. There can be pedestrian traffic along the course, especially on the weekends.
