Pros:

Superior Municipal Forest DGC is a work in progress it appears. That's a good thing though, because it seems to be progressing in the right direction.

The baskets here are really nice new Mach VII's which are all mounted nicely and catch great. The orange bands on the inner part of the top really help with locating them in the woods. One pin position per hole.

This appears to be new as of this year, but there are now concrete tees on all holes. All holes except 4 or 5, I think, have two sets of tees. These are plenty big enough and are nice and grippy. The difference between longs and shorts is pretty extreme on a lot of the holes. Not only distance but also some being offset to one side of the fairway, changing the angle to the basket up. The hole # is spray painted on each of the front corners of the tee on every hole. White numbers for the longs, reds for the shorts. Nicely done with these.

There are tee signs on every hole, Though I believe they were only on the longs. These aren't the most useful things I've seen but they have the basics. Hole #, par and distance. There are also numerous next tee signs throughout which definitely helps with navigation.

The elevation here isn't too extreme, but it adds a good challenge on a number of holes. There's some cool ravines that you throw over on multiple holes. Just a really nice area for a disc golf course. There's a mix of pretty heavily wooded to more open prairie style holes.

There's a good mix of left to right and right to left turning shots along with a bunch of tight tunnel throws. You'll need a number of different shots to score well here. Staying in the fairway is paramount. If you can do that, you'll be in decent shape. If not, you're in for a tough day.

Cons:

The rough here is ROUGH. The chance of a lost disc is very real. Not just in the woods but also just in the thick grass off the fairways of the more open holes.

The tee signs are nicely built. However they would be much more useful with a map of the hole. Especially with some of the longer holes. Instead there's a topographical map of the ENTIRE course. This is fine at the beginning of the course, but kind of useless on, say, hole 8 or 13.

A little rough around the edges still. Lots of small stumps in the recently cleared out sections. The grass was long in spots in the fairway of some holes. Nothing egregious or anything, but you may end I being right by your disc and not seeing it due to this.

Other Thoughts:

I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It seems that they are putting in the work to make this one of the better courses in the vicinity. I would definitely recommend this course if you're in the area. Seems to be improving all the time. It was a 9 hole when I first wishlisted it, with carpet or natural tees. So it's starting to come into it's own it seems.

Not too far from Mont Du Lac and a number of other courses. Beautiful part of the state too. I'd play this one again in a heartbeat. I may even do that later this week.
