The ultimate mini experience
Pros: This is the mini course that all minis should strive to be like. But with the amount of space here, it should be! Unlike all the other courses we had seen this day, this spot had the ability to give you many multiple shots.
- Water holes. Water came into play several times, including one hole where you throw from a dock and over a small pond.
- Hole creativity. Have you ever had to throw a hole where you had to go through a covered bridge? Here you do.
- Elevation. You'll hike up some hills for a few holes.
- Open and woods -- plenty of each.
- Owner is friendly and will likely play a round with you. Ask about the history, too!
- Baskets. All are excellent and you get a history lesson throughout as some of them are the owners original prototypes, too. Way cool.

Cons: Nothing that would take away from the experience. Maybe tee signs (I'm a tee sign guy... I really like seeing them as I think they can add to the experience of the course).
Other Thoughts: This is the ultimate of mini disc golf experiences. Join the mini disc golf federation when here. Chat with the owner. Play the course and have a good time. Donnie has done a lot of great work on this course and from the way he talked when we played with him, it's only going to get better. I really look forward to seeing this course many times in the future as a proud member of the MDGF!

Pros: The layout of the holes is such that you can create a course within the 2 courses. Playing the holes in a different order adds additional challanges. Lot's of elevation changes and some nice signature holes. While playing the course you can see the evolution of the mini disc basket from it's creation in the barn to the state of the art stainless steel rock The Chains baskets.
Cons: I don't really see any cons except as the others have said no course map. That said, the owner will show you the layout and once you have played it a couple of times, it's easy to figure out.
Other Thoughts: Course owner Donnie Brooks is a friendly and knowledgable person who wants to see the sport of Mini Disc Golf grow.
Mini Disc Golf Mecca
Pros: Great course for every level player. Lots of scenery that creates obsticles at different times of year. (Corn fields, snow, Fall) There is a covered bridge that you throw THREW the bridge OR the windows! The bridge is over water too! The course is full of short and long distance holes that gives you the option of all kinds of different types of throws with different types of discs. You can really use what is in your bag on this course.
Baskets are excellent and range from original design to current state of the art "rock the chains" mini-disc fun stainless steel baskets.
There are elevation challenges throughout the course and even a large goat pen to throw over!
The owner Donnie Brooks has always taken time to walk me around and play when ever I've stopped by to play. He knows everything there is to know about Mini Disc Golf. This is a course you MUST NOT MISS if you are in the area.

Cons: No map on course. Need owner to show you around and lay of the land.
Other Thoughts: If you ask Donnie Brooks anything about Disc Golf he will be happy to tell you what he knows. He has show me different ways to hold and throw a disc and the difference in discs and so much history of many different discs. He is "THE DISC MAN!"

Other Thoughts: This is rated against other Mini DG courses.
Got to walk the course with the owner and learn alot about the history and growth of Mini DG. Like, the world distance record for a mini is over 400 ft, thats crazy I can't throw that far with a normal disc. And that the majority of the mini baskets out there are based on his design. Having the owner show me the ropes really spead things up, althought I would have been able to navigate with the map just fine. The tee stones are big 12x12 pavers and easy to find, and I was told "pick a tee, pick a basket and have fun". The majority of the 18 hole layout I played was pretty open but still had a good mix of holes and plenty of distance(although not alot of shade and it was hot really hot and sunny). The water hole although intimidating was a fun treat. This is a really nice course and has a mix that will challenge all levels of players.
Would be nice to see some tee signs or navigational aids but as well as a scorecard.

Beaver Creek Mini Disc Golf Course Pros: Great and challenging Mini Disc Golf Course for the accomplished thrower, and also managable and a learning experience for the less experienced Mini thrower. Course owner "Donnie Brooks" can help you navigate this course for a more enlightened experience.
Cons: Not really for the novice player due to across water holes, and distance. But you have to start somewhere, and this is the best of the best. Again, Course owner "Donnie Brooks" is always glad to show you around and show you the way.
Other Thoughts: The premier Mini Disc Golf Course known. Has great elevation changes and hole distance. Challenges you with all the throws you have in your bag. Also has a seperate 9 hole course on the same property with shorter but yet very challenging holes.
