Worth the wait, Outstanding Course

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pretty much everything I love about a great disc golf course. In the woods. Tight lines. Elevation. Have to shape a shot. Breezy Point is exceptional in how you need to "speed control" those dang downhill putter shots... Hole 1 and 10 start from the parking lot which is always appreciated... So many wooded holes with a lush grass fairway is a sight to behold. Again elevation: living in Mpls it is such a nice change of pace...Navigation was easy,

Cons:

Tee signs are lacking and I hate rubber tee pads. But given the overall experience are just in the noise... For those looking for a park like course this is not it, it is a hike up and down pretty much every hole. Bring your boots or trail runners and you will not be disappointed... Maybe some longer holes would be desired? IDK those uphill shots tested my mettle.

Other Thoughts:

This course has been on my wish list for several years now. I am fortunate to have a friend with a cabin in the Brainerd lakes area, and we played it together. He is a rec level player and had a great time, he had a few great shots and thoroughly enjoyed the round... I would recommend this course to anyone willing and able to hike up and down for a couple hours in the beautiful Northwoods.

Breezy Point 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Long, tight wooded fairways will have you throwing every shot in your arsenal
+ Elevation changes on every hole. Up, Down, and Valley, with a pretty good mix of all.
+ Good variety of hole lengths.
+ The rubber tees seem to grip as well as concrete, I don't know how they are when they get wet.
+ Navigation is pretty intuitive with short walks and some next tee signs. Just follow the arrows.

Cons:

- Tee signs need minimaps with this many blind shots.
- Some of the distances listed seem off. (Especially 13, listed at 153' feels like 250'+
- Watch your step on the steeper fairways. Erosion is real.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, this is an absolutely beautiful course.
It's a workout, I was reminded today about how out of shape I am.

With better signs and some erosion control this could easily be a 4.5

Now 18 holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 11, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

A good mix of challenging with the trees making the shot selection and accuracy a must, but not too long of holes so that it is impossible to make par.

Back 9 has been opened up. Back 9 has more open fairways than the Front 9 making it a bit easier. They are still working on clearing trees and cleaning up the necessary work to make the Back 9, but nothing hinders the playing.

Cons:

Signs at each hole would be a plus. Stones with etched hole number, par, and distance makes it easy to know that information, but a map showing the general pin location so a first-time player doesn't have to search for the pin would be nice.

Other Thoughts:

If in the area, I recommend this course as a great round or two. Lots of elevation changes. Sometimes it is simply throwing over a valley to the pin on the same elevation, sometimes it is throwing up or down. Either way, be prepared to walk up or down a hill on every hole.

Short distances between holes are nice.

Trash cans by many tee pads. Some benches scattered around.

A great beginer/intermediate course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great course design. They have done an outstanding job of cutting back big and small trees. The distance of the holes are short but tight. The lines are hard but not impossible. Like my title says it's a great beginner/intermediate course. An open player might find it to easy. I have played multiple courses in this area while on vacation and this is the first course that I have found that i really enjoyed.
Great flow, good signs, pads are a good idea. They even have new benches on a few holes. The Mach 3's are sweet!

Cons:

I have heard that they are possibly putting in another 9 holes. A few longer open holes would be cool.
The pads state that some of the holes are par 4. I think they should all be 3.

Other Thoughts:

Worth the drive for most.

Possible 18 hole with hills 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 15, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Hills provide elevation changes, which is not seen in other area courses
-Non-conventional right-turning holes
-Rubberized tee-pads with footages marked
-Sign guide-points to mark your path
-Memorable holes, including a short par 3 with a large rock that you can write your name on
-Excellent baskets

Cons:

-So far, only nine-holes completed out of the potential 18
-Not clear where some baskets are from tee-box, so additional signing would be helpful. Foliage only exacerbates the problem.
-Directions needed to find the course. Breezy Point is a little bit off the beaten path for most people.

Other Thoughts:

Breezy Point offers something for every skill level. The course is heavily-wooded with many hills. The plan is to install another nine holes by the end of next summer.
