Well marked signs on course make it easy to follow. I liked the "open" holes. They had trees and good use of elevation to make it more challenging and fun. Atleast for a beginner-intermeddiate. Mowed park. Decent fairways going into the woods.

Gravel tees aren't the best, but they work. Baskets 6 and 17 were too close together. Teeing off from 6, I threw more towards 17. Poor map, but the signs were great so really no need for the map.

A better map design. Good course to work on more accurate throws.

Plays next to Elk River in Big Lake

Half Wooded and Half Parkstyle

Course Map and a Warm-up Hole

Dual Tees, with Teesigns offered at the Long Pad, and Next Tee Sign around Basket

Newer Mach3s with the Four Band Deep Basket

Park area is Pretty, with the Oldgrowth Trees and Elk River meandering through

7 & 8 are the standout Holes. Playing along the River thru Walnuts, Maples, and Oaks

1 5 9 10 & 11 use the little bit of Hillage that is available

Twelve Holes are definitely more than Nine

First 6 Holes have Two Concrete Teepads, while the Parkstyle Holes have Two Gravel Tees

Swamp on 4 is God Awful. Don't want to go into that

2 and 3 were overgrown upon my Visit

Little Elevation to use for the Discgolf

Pretty Fun

Good variety of DG

Bicycle Trail goes to Big Lake Beach

Half concrete teepadsCreative linesNice signsBack 6 are really beautiful along the riverQuick playGreat for beginners and intermediate

Back 6 pads are either gravel or non-existentFinding the next tee can be mildly difficult.Some longer holes would be nice

I thought the use of space was creative and the way the lines were laid out was cool. Some narrow shots and some clever obstacles.I came in mid November and it was pretty easy to find my disc but I would not expect it would be the same in the summer.Overall it was a fun course and if they get concrete pads for all holes I'd come back just to play it.

A few trees scattered along the course are cute. Holes 2, 3, 4, and 5 have below god-awful northern course scenery.

The fairways and rough/woods on the first 5 holes are absolutely riddled with ivy. It is almost impossible to avoid those nasty oils from the grass and the rough, so even if you land in the fairway, or near the basket, chances are your disc is covered in that sinister urushiol oil from the ivy. make sure to wash your hands consistently through these holes in order to avoid a reaction. The tee-pads are dangerous. They are made with loose gravel, mixed with large rocks, making it incredibly easy to roll an ankle. It also makes for inconsistent footing which forces you to alter your approach, which in effect alters your consistency and is a menace to your overall progression as a player. I only drive from the grass on the side of the tee-pads.

This course is fine for beginners, outside of the stream that runs along holes 7 through 9. The course is extremely annoying for more experienced players. The tee-pads NEED to be replaced with cement. I can not express in enough detail how poor and dangerous the tee-pads are. My advice is to simply drive a few more miles up highway 10 and play becker, clearwater, or st augusta (hidden lake). With those courses so close to this one, there's no reason to play this course if you are an experienced player

I'm on my cell, so I'll be brief. Very well marked course with well-groomed fairways. Red and white tee boxes. At least a few trees on every fairway that make you choose a line. The rough aren't a death sentence for your discs... They're not too nasty.

Gravel tee pads that are showing a bit of wear (honestly not that big of a deal). There isn't a ton of variation, but enough to keep it interesting.

The city did a great job of working with an existing park to make this an enjoyable course. I will be coming back!

+ The last 6 holes remind me of Riverside Park in St. Cloud
+ Nice usage of an already established park.
+ Excellent signage

- Gravel teepads already showing wear from use (would have given 3.5 if they were concrete)
- Not a ton of shot variety
- Par ratings are a little off (play all as Par 3)

A nice course to combine with Hudson Woods DGC just down Hwy 10.

Course map at the beginning of the course.
Decent layout and fairly easy to follow course with directional sighs for the more obscure tee's.
Tee's clearly marked with sign post: Hole #, Par, distance, and basic map of the hole.

The rough is thick on the first five holes.
The water trap on this course is a river.
The tees are loose gravel(difficult footing).

Practice Basket - about 150ft hole w/tee for warm up and practice putting, very lightly wooded fairway for longer practice throws

Hole #1 - fairly strait shot, lightly wooded at tee, open fairway, rough is prairie grass

Hole #2 - slight bend to the left,open fairway, rough is heavy woods(left side) and long grass(right side)

Hole #3 - strait shot, lightly wooded fairway, rough is heavy woods, looks to have potential of flooding in low spots

Hole #4 - strait shot, lightly wooded at tee, open fairway,rough is prairie grass

Hole #5 - strait shot with a slight bend to the right from the pro tee, open fairway, rough is prairie grass and a few scrub trees, small pine trees planted just outside the green(may obstruct strait chip shots in the future)

[Hole's 6-12 are played on manicured grass]

Hole #6 - strait shot, lightly wooded fairway, no rough

Hole #7 - strait shot. lightly wooded fairway, no rough

Hole #8 - strait shot, lightly wooded fairway, plays along the river, only water trap on this course(if u dunk your disc, your probably gunna lose it)

Hole #9 - fairly strait shot that curves slight to the left at the green, open fairway, lightly wooded at basket, rough is heavy wooded area on the left side

Hole #10 - fairly strait shot, lightly wooded fairway with a slight downward bluff about halfway out, no rough

Hole #11 - fairly strait shot with a slight curve to the right, lightly wooded fairway, no rough

Hole #12 - curving shot around trees obstructing a strait line drive, moderately wooded fairway, no rough


In my opinion, some of the hole are a little short for rated par, but over all its a very nice course

Nice Signage Nice tee signs and directional arrows, Practice basket (And practice tee for about 150' shot at the practice basket), Even if you go into the rough on the first five it's still pretty easy to find.

The final seven holes all play very similar. Dirt tees are still soft and already have unlevel spots near the front. Swamp on the right of hole 3 seems like it will flood the fairway in spring and claim a lot of discs

It's a decent clean course, the first five holes each offer a little different challenge and the back 7 provide some challenge with the moderate trees. There is plenty of open space on those holes to pick a number of lines and hit them with relative ease.

New course well marked. Nice variety of holes, some wooded some are wide open. Then at the end some go through the park.

Only 12 holes, 2 was wet and a little muddy still, new grass still coming in. Tee pads,are gravel. Had to repack down on a few holes that made for sketchy footing.

I really like this course and would come back again. It has the looks and feels of a fun course.
