- Top tier course just outside the metro area
- Short and Long Tee positions
^(Locating some of the Shorts are confusing, if I'm honest)
- You could skip Holes 7-9 at Crown and still feel like you've thrown a complete round. (I say this in a positive manner, Holes 7-9 are beautiful, yet a little bit out of the way)
- The course's beauty ages like fine wine across all* the seasons
^(I fibbed, I've never played Crown in winter, just go along with it!)
^^However! I saw an albino squirrel once here so...
- College course = Superb (somewhat seasonal) course maintenance.
^On this note, be sure to thank maintenance crews when you see them out working on the course, any course really. Some are employed, but there are many in the disc golf community that simply volunteer their time because of their love for the sport.
- Parking is a plus (also a negative, will explain in the first Con)
- Signage at nearly every tee box

- BE PREPARED, this can be a LONG course. Yes, in distance traveled and thrown, as well as, all the elevation changes. It's a long walk back to the main parking lot, even the little parking lot near hole 10's tee.
-- To this point, there's not a lot of "switch-back trails" (aside from the road) once you get into the Back 9. A lot of crossing fairways, if you decide to bail mid-round
- EDIT: I was too quick to get this review out that I forgot the status of Hole 8. Hole 8 has become very overgrown at the trees have matured over the years. So much so that 8-Short's tee is engulfed by sumac, I believe.
- Bring an adequate water supply, You'll thank me later.
- Play this course early in the year. It tends to get overgrown in the summer when the college campus isn't as active.
^Bring friends, spot for each other, you will be searching a lot if you choose to play solo and miss the fairway
- VERY BUGGY in the summer. Mosquitoes as well as Horse Flies.
- Baskets are decent, however, they're starting to show ware.
- Tee Signs could be upgraded, would be a good project for the arts program/graphic design students.
- No portable bathrooms on site

Crown College is a well manicured championship level disc golf course set outside the southwest metro of the Twin Cities.

The Short tee pads will be more for your beginner throwers, however, the short layout is still provides an enjoyable track for all levels. Most AM players will find Crown to be a good challenging course solely on the technical distance required to reach the greens.

Another review states that there are Two holes on the course where water comes into play. They're NOT wrong in saying this. However when forming this review, I realized there are a few more holes where your disc can find water (Trust me, my discs are water magnets!). In total, there are Four/Five holes on the course where water can come into play, and two of the five you can argue are casual OB.

The holes where water plays OB are Holes 2 and 18 (Long tee pad), as well as Hole 9; 30-40ish feet behind the basket lies a small pond. Holes 12 & 13 share this... little marsh landmarked with tall cattails. The water level is unpredictable here and tends to dry up during the summer. As mentioned, I'm nearly certain this plays casual.

Overall, I rated this course *4.5 ️️️️(️) (Best of the best) because there aren't a lot of courses like this in Carver County (Yet, and yes, I know this course is technically St. Bonifacius/Hennepin County). The "knock" on this course is its overgrown nature, not only the long grass late summer, but also what was previously mentioned about Hole 8. All in all, though, this course is a must play in my book.

BEAUTIFUL course on a quiet, scenic campus
Dual tees
Great use of elevation and trees
Cool use of pond/stream to create water hazards
VERY clean and well maintained

Kinda far out of the MPLS area

All I can say is WOW, this course blew me away. It's not a championship course, but it's no rec course either. Way more elevation than I thought possible for a MN course and some pretty long fairways on a few. Wind is an issue at times, but just adds to the challenge. One of my favorites

very scenic with elevation changes-
some very long holes on back 9 to test your driving and mid range game-
nice use of water (comes into play on holes 2, 9, and 18) also some swamp to avoid on holes 12, 13, 16-
an overall great mix of both technical and long bomber holes
I've never had any problems with crowds here

the rough on some of the bomber holes can become really thick through out the summer months. If you're playing with atleast one other person I would recommend using a spotter on holes 9, 15, and 16-

also beware when playing this course on hot and humid days. some holes have little to no shade relief and have you hiking up and down rolling hills. bring water!! (comparable to Elm Creek as far as hills go)

being as I live an hour west of the twin cities this course is perfect for me as far as location is concerned. Is great exercise, great scenery, and great layout upon the sprawling landscape. the rolling hills and sheer vastness of this course coupled with the feeling of isolation is what draws me in (also scored my first and only ace of my life on hole 8 on top of the BIG hill).........stay on the fairways and the rough wont be a problem for you. dont let that detur you from experiencing this great course. PLAY IT!!

First, the area is beautiful. The giant oak trees that dot the landscape are somewhat majestic and different from other courses I have played, which only have small trees and brush.

Secondly, there is a good variety of holes on a challenging hilly landscape. The water hazard comes into play on three holes #2, #9 & #18. This is a great course to get out your distance drivers and put them to good use on the many long holes.

Thirdly, It provides a good workout. The college campus is 215 acres and the disc golf course takes up about half of that. Make sure you bring a bottle of water!

Lastly, the people at the college are really friendly. If you have a question about something they are always ready to help.

At times the grass on the back 9 get high. Nonetheless, there is a great deal of tall grass and weeds on the back 9. Stay on the fairway and you'll be fine.

There are a lot of long holes on the back 9. Some golfers see it as uncreative, but the use of elevation justifies the amount of long holes. Also, I think it's nice to use my distance drivers more than just a couple times on a course.

There could be some markers to give direction to the next hole in a few places. Specifically, it's a little confusing going from hole #2 to #3, and from hole #9 to #10. A couple of direction markers would be helpful.

A course map would be beneficial. I think the front desk in the college's main building has some, but the reception desk doors are not always open.

Overall, this is a very fun course with good challenges regarding elevation, distance, trees and water. This course will give you a great workout and a greater appreciation of the game of disc golf. The scenery is beautiful here. I strongly recommend trying out this course. You can check in to the course on foursquare here https://foursquare.com/venue/27144595

I came into this course not expecting much. The first 3-4 holes were a little easy and not much to them. Then from there on the course really suprised me, It got a lot more difficult with the bending around trees to get to the basket, the long grass and narrow fairways. The course iis a great workout alos. I was pooped by the time I finished the course.

*The baskets were really short after the first 3 holes...
*The holes weren't clearly maked.

I reccomend this course to anyone, we Live in Bloomington and made the hike out there to give it a try and we're so glad we made the trip!
