Pros:
-Beginner friendly
-Nice setting (Central Lakes College, located on the Mississippi River which lends some of its ancient river banks to the course)
-Not as much disc golf traffic as Lum Park in Brainerd
-Intriguing topography changes (which are not offered elsewhere in the Brainerd lakes area)
Cons:
-Busy with students during school year
-Avoidable but devastating hazards, including buildings, roads, traffic, and pedestrians
-Not a significant source of a challenge for experienced players
Other Thoughts:
A great addition to the Brainerd area, Central Lakes College disc golf course offers convenience for many area disc golfers. Central Lakes College is a nice setting for a course, but it represents many of the challenges that this type of course faces.
Beginner player experience - 1/1 for interesting short holes and long holes which are not too challenging
Intermediate player experience - 0.3/1 for being a pitch-and-putt
Advanced player experience - 0.1/1 for having little to offer
Setting - 0.7/1 for being very convenient for neighborhood disc golfers and comfortable place to enjoy a few rounds
Overall course experience - 1/1 for being a break from the crowds and having some nice looks at the basket for beginners
Total = 3.1/5
