above average school course, below average college course

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

A plus to have another place to play in the Brainerd lakes area, seems that courses are limited. Some fun shots and great Northwoods pines to force a line. Easy to navigate and no chance to lose your disc. I loved the custom plasma cut (?) number plates affixed to the top of each basket (which caught fine).

Cons:

I cannot imagine playing this when class is in session. Turned over or overly aggressive shots risk hitting parked cars on several holes. Possibility of hitting campus buildings on a few others. Hole 1 tee is just a few feet from a door. Course plays in a reverse C shape. So when you finish the straightest path back to your car is to cut back through the course, around the structures. Watch out for drives on hole 4 (as you round the corner of the building). If the course is busy get out to the road and hike that back. Rubber tee pads. They were fine this day, but that is my last favorite tee surface.

Other Thoughts:

I played this on a Friday evening when the campus was pretty empty so any safety concerns were null... My favorite moment of the round was when I was hiking back to my car at 530ish and a college employee walking to her car says "Looks like I'm the last one to leave" (lot was empty except for her Subaru).

Another mediocre Brainerd course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 17, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice baskets, minimal traffic, nice mowed grass.

Cons:

Not very technical, lots of risky parking lot/ disc into traffic shots, too easy, too short, college students walking around getting in the way.

Other Thoughts:

Course designer Mark Englund did a nice job for the space he was given but this course isn't an improvement over the areas other lack luster courses. Overall this course is just too boring, no pretty lines, not very challenging.
