The disc golf sanctuary is clean, with good signage, teepads, and baskets. Driving in I found several helpful signs pointing the way to the disc golf parking. Score cards and pencils are provided at the first tee, and there are vault toilets nearby.

This course has a they-did-the-best-they-could-with-what-they-had feel. The wooded holes follow a trail system which creates some strangely shaped, narrow fairways. The open holes are just that, with the challenge being to stay in the mowed areas and avoid the tall grass.

As a LHBH thrower, hole #9 left me nonplussed. I didn't see a lefty line off the tee other than an anhyzer over some trees and across a road toward the basket. That's not a shot I'm comfortable with, but I gave it a try and my disk landed, I assume, somewhere beyond the trees in tall grass and water. I never did find that disc. For my retee, I chose to pitch out about 30 feet in front of the tee and go from there.

As a disc playing traveler, I found this to be a disappointing stop. However, despite it's shortcomings, this course appears to be a valuable asset in an under served area for local players with the patience to accept its foibles.

Nice cement tee pads, nice baskets, some elevation changes. Good mix of wooded and technical and open. .

No real hole to open it up distance wise. Longest open hole is under 300, the longer holes run through the woods and are very technical. Woods are way too tight. At some spots the opening is less than 10 feet. Underbrush is super thick. It is super easy to lose a disc.

WIth some minor changes, mostly clearing underbrush and widening the path through the woods, this would be a very solid little course. Still worth a stop on the way from the Twin Cities to Duluth as it is only about 5 miles off of highway 35.
