- good amenities at Lemon Lake in general: bathrooms, practice baskets, pro shop, garbage cans/benches, etc.
- nice Discatcher baskets colored for the appropriate course
- baskets have hole numbers
- some nice concrete tees, but a variety
- continuous improvement going on
- some nicer wooded shots on back 9
- good use of next tee signs to make navigation clear
- incorporates some more technical shots and some limited elevation change on back half
- well mown and maintained
- mostly dedicated to disc golf if not a cross country weekend

- temporary tee signs have no maps, but are being improved
- still a lot of natural and rubber tees
- front 9 is fairly open and not particularly unique
- some safety hazards
- really long walk from 19 to 20 seems forced
- no particular wow factor

The blue course was the first I played upon arriving at Lemon Lake to knock it out before the cross country meet took over half the park. For a location as renowned as Lemon Lake, I probably expected a bit more. Blue is obviously not the highlight of the park, and there's nothing particularly special about it. The technical challenge in the woods on the back half helped elevate this course form a 2.5 to a 3 for me.

This is one of the shortest courses at Lemon Lake, which isn't to say especially short, but on the shorter side. The front 9 has some tree obstacles, but is fairly open and not especially challenging. The back 9 is much more interesting. I think the biggest positive takeaway about Lemon Lake in general is "continuous improvement." They are in the process of pouring new concrete tees on the other courses, and all 4 courses in the park are getting updated tee signs which are not in yet.

There are a few safety hazards with holes throwing near roads/walkways which were a bit concerning. In general, the park is pretty empty so this wasn't too bad. I really appreciated how the baskets had the ring colors for the particular course they were part of. The courses are mostly separate, distinct areas, but have some borders near each other so it's nice to have the clarity which basket is which. Navigation could have been confusing here but the next tee signs are used really well to make it pretty easy.

Hole 16 was one of the notable ones for me, with a pretty high risk shot towards the water. If you go too far past the basket, you'll be in the drink, and one full of plants that would be hard to find a disc in. I appreciate the tranquility of this county park; I saw several deer and it was mostly very quiet and peaceful, one of the reasons I get out to play disc golf regularly.

Overall, most people won't make the trip to Lemon Lake for the blue course specifically, but it's worth playing if you are already there. The complex in general really cares about disc golf and takes good care of the property, and the pro shop on site has a really good selection of discs. There's definitely more to choose from here than Dellwood, so it could be worth a drive.
