Arvig Park

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The City of Perham keeps the grass mowed and keeps the entire park in a clean condition. This course is mostly an 18 hole technical course. Most of the fairways are narrow, with numerous trees and thick vegetation on each side of the fairway. Hole 16 is the only hole that does not have trees. All of the holes have concrete tee pads, signs with the hole number, par, and distance, and strong, sturdy Prodigy baskets, that are blue in color. All of the baskets were replaced in 2021, and the concrete tee pads were added sometime in late 2022 or early 2023. The terrain for the entire course is flat. There are no water hazards. The soil is sandy, which causes the soil to dry out faster after a rain. The sandy soil also appears to keep the insect population down, as I have not encountered any mosquitos during the summer days I have played the course. The course is easy to follow, with most of the next tee pads within view of the basket that was just played. There is a huge snack factory that borders the west side of Arvig Park, which sometimes causes the holes on the west side of the park to smell like fresh potato chips.

Cons:

There is a huge dog food factory a couple of blocks to the south of the park, which causes the south side of the park to sometimes smell like dog food.

Small, tricky course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Signs at tees give good directions for baskets and next tee.
Nice mix of course direction.

Cons:

Tight windows and alleys before a dogleg on a few holes can force a side-arm player play forearm, or visa versa.

Other Thoughts:

I like the challenge the course presents. Accuracy is key on this one. Very few holes you can just power your disc through. Good course to perfect some lesser used shots. I.E.- tomahawk, those crazy 60degree chip shots, upside-down is even useful if you're on the wrong side of a spruce tree. Hahaha. Overall, good course.
