Pros:
- Big parking lot. I played during a weekday in the afternoon and was able to park right by the map at the beginning of the course.
- There was a map at the beginning that made navigating the course a breeze. There was also information on distance and par.
- The course has MVP Black Hole Pro baskets. They were extremely nice and caught my discs well.
- The course design was really fun. It's a short nine holes, but they made a fantastic use of the small space. It flowed really well and a lot of the holes were fun to play.
- The signage was good. There were clear indicators with which path to take towards the teepad area.
- There was a basketball court, splash pad, baseball field and playground. These features might make the park appealing for a family.
Cons:
- There are no teepads. It looks like they will be putting some in as there is currently a dirt hole with caution tape surrounding it.
- The course is only nine holes.
- There is a baseball field that is in the field of play for hole one between the tee and basket. This could present problems if the field is being utilized.
- The course is in a tight space so if more groups are present, it may become clustered.
- Overall, the course didn't present much of a challenge. I never had to use my fairway driver during my round. A mid-range and putter were sufficient.
- There were no benches to rest on between the holes or at the start of the course.
Other Thoughts:
Overall, I enjoyed the course and it's located near the Mall of America. The course is only nine holes, but the space was utilized extremely well. The playground, basketball court and splash pad can offer fun for the entire family. While this course isn't going to present much of a challenge, it is enjoyable and features awesome MVP baskets.
