The Lynx at the Airborn Disc Golf Preserve is the shorter more technical of the two courses onsite. This course is a great compliment to the Timberwolf. It's the same style golf but in an easier to manage style for us without the cannons for arms. A bite size version if you will. It's still a challenging, well designed course. I actually liked this one better personally.

The Prodigy baskets are amazing. These are some of the best, if not the best, baskets I've ever played on. Beautiful. The Lynx baskets are a bright yellow which stands out great and makes them easy to differentiate from Timberwolf's orange baskets. These are all mounted nice and level and catch great.

The tee pads are the artificial turf pads they got on the big course for the majority of the holes. These are pretty solid and are nice sized. Plenty big enough for a solid run up. They were solid. Not sure how they are in wet conditions but in dry conditions they work fine. A couple holes used a section of the old cart path.

The tee signs have all the basic info on them. Hole #, par, distances and a pretty simple hole map. The top right corner has either a Lynx or Timberwolf on it designating which course the signs for. There are numerous next tee signs to help with navigation in needed spots.

The flow of the layout is pretty easy to follow. Much easier for a first timer than the other course. The Lynx plays entirely on the south side of the entrance road.

There's a better mix of different types of holes on this course in my opinion. It's definitely more wooded than the other, but that's not saying much. Less water but it's still present. I actually lost a disc on hole 5 I believe it was. The water carry hole. It was a terrible, low shot by me but it's still a factor at least.

$10 for all day play is on the high side but it's not overly high. $5 after 5 PM is a cheaper alternative. The course is permanent and has restrooms and a pro shop by the parking lot. Solid setup. There is also a driving range area and multiple practice baskets behind the shop.

As I mentioned in the other review, the turf pads are a little lumpy and uneven in spots. It's mostly due to sandy/soft ground underneath them. It's not a dealbreaker but a little odd in spots. The sections of cart path used as tees aren't always level which is worse than the lumpy turf imo. These seemed worse on this course.

The tee signs are not going to last with the material they're made of. I'm sure they have plans for more permanent signs, but as of now these will be hard pressed to last the rest of the summer. The course is still VERY new so I'm sure these are just temporary but worth mentioning.

This course is a fantastic compliment to the big bad wolf. I wouldn't consider this course beginner friendly by any means, but it's much more managable for the recreational player such as myself. This complex isn't destination worthy per se, but with all the other fantastic disc golf in the area, the whole Twin Cities region is destination worthy. If you're in the area or driving through it's definitely worth a stop, even if you only have time for one of the two. I'll go with a 3.5 for a rating, which is very good. It's just not as epic feeling as it's big brother.

- decent shot variety
- some water hazards
- great baskets
- scenic
- easy to navigate

- expensive
- minimal elevation change
- not many obstacles

This course is a good alternative to the Timberwolf one if you can't throw as far, or just prefer shorter holes. Some of the holes have water hazards, but they're not as big of a factor.
Since this course plays up and down an old ball golf course, most of the holes involve either throwing along the woodline, or throwing from one woodline to the other. A couple of the holes are very technical, but for the most part, it's pretty open. There's also very little elevation change.
The course was very easy to navigate. The signs and Teepads were fine, but they seem temporary. The baskets are Prodigy T1s, which are excellent. I've had fewer bounce outs with the T1s than any other basket. There's also an elevated, and a hanging basket, which is a nice touch.
For me, this course alone definitely isn't worth the $10 price of admission, but if You're already playing the other course, it's worth checking out.
