Field of Dreams 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

24 unique holes. Prodigy baskets. Plenty of elevation and distance. Wooded doglegs and tunnel shots. A couple open field shots. Very well-designed and fair layout. Easy to follow. Very forgiving rough and surprisingly hard to lose a disc despite the technical setup and sheer vastness of the property. Chad the owner is awesome.

Cons:

Not a ton of room to stretch out drivers. Natural teepads are really hard and among the nicest of played on but some could consider that a con. Could use some more trashcans. Only one over-water shot but for some that's plenty. Very few holes under 300ft which can be draining, but that's why Chad also has the Green Course which is nearly half the length of the Red.

Other Thoughts:

This place is like a Field of Dreams for disc golf. If you have not been out there yet, you should really make it a point to do so as soon as possible. This is the longer of the two 24-hole courses on the property (9,500ish ft, only a handful of holes under 300) and it is has just about everything - elevation, water, distance, woods, fields, etc. - making it one of the best MN. It's only been in operation for a couple years so it's still a "work-in-progress" although one could argue it's nearly perfect as-is. Chad, the owner, is a one man wrecking crew and has spent the last five years building out the property, and he definitely knows what he is doing having also worked on BRP in the early days. While already destination-worthy word on the street is that there is a 3rd course on the way which would be the longest in MN. If all that isn't enough, cheap tent and cabin camping are available overlooking a lake, which I'm definitely going to utilize when I make a trip back there this fall.

Every hole is a signature hole 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 11, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is the best course in Minnesota. The owner Chad has created a majestic course through very hilly woods in central MN. Every hole was unique and challenging at the same time.

Mega ups and downs you won't see on most courses around the area (TC Metro), the pictures don't do it justice! Like I titled it, every hole is a signature hole on any other course!

Cons:

Dirt/clay tee pads were somewhat slippery but not bad. If the design wasn't so great I would have docked a point for not having turf or concrete, but the design was so good I still have to give it a 5.

Playing both courses is fairly tiring. If you are in good shape you shouldn't have a problem. I was tired after 48 though.

Some of the walking paths are steeper as well. Could get hairy after a rain.

My only "design" flaw I would say were the two long holes, they might be marked par 5's. Anyways, neither allows really for a chance to go for it in two. Both are layups off the tee. Would have liked to see it a bit more open so 3 opportunities would be more realistic.

Other Thoughts:

Course is off the beaten path relatively to the Twin Cities but is a must play in my book. You will not regret it!
