Tight 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 8, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good elevationsSome challengeWell maintained

Cons:

MosquitoesPars too easyHoles overlap or too closeDanger to pedestrians and cars

Other Thoughts:

Better than the old 9 hole course, but layout has several throws too close to other holes. Some throws are at the street and sidewalk. I've seen several cars and pedestrians hit. Still a good course...for DL.

Detroit Lakes fun but needs a tune up 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 6, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Fun little course always tear it up when I am there visiting family. Concrete tees. Baskets in good shape and the park is well maintained. The 18 hole layout is fun. I like the update.

Cons:

Saw ground markers for a back nine but no map or post marking them. There is a lot of room to stretch this course a redesign would help esp since the next closest course is 25 miles away

Other Thoughts:

Nice 18 hole layout with good flow and shot availability. The 18th tee is a little hairy since you're aiming at the parking lot shooting downhill I have over shot and hit cars on my tee off.

Enjoyable 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice Mach II baskets
Great use of elevation changes
Many Opportunities to take Ace runs

Cons:

Some poor layout choices (some early tees very close to previous basket, hole nine finishes a little ways from first tee - although I like the line from basket 9 back to basket 1)

Other Thoughts:

Enjoyable course, easily accessible to beginners, and can provide a bit of a challenge for more advanced players as par 2s. Mostly straight and natural left curves, although some holes can be taken left to right for those RHBH players to throw anhyzer drives. Good 2 disc course with a stable midrange and putter. Nice to have open grass fairways, well maintained. Great signs for first time players.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has a good atmosphere with Good elevation change for a MN course....Good Baskets with nice Tee Pads....Most Tee Signs are In, with Directions to the next Hole's Tee Pad so the course is easy to navigate.....Located in the Heart of Minnesota!

Cons:

As any MN player knows.....When you are near water the mosquitos are bad....And this course borders, the Great, Big Detroit Lake so the Bugs are Annoying....Most holes are short in distance!

Other Thoughts:

This course Poses a fun Quick Round in the Heart of MN.......If you are a camper/fisherman/outdoors man the surrounding area will provide for you. This is Minnesota so the fishing is great and in the Detroit Lakes area you will not be disappointed....The course is well thought out for the size of the Park and poses unique elevation for this area..... If in the area it is worth the stop!

Good for a quickie 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 29, 2000 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained city course. Great course for newbies and intermediate players.

Cons:

There are not many long holes that typically appeal to the "big arms"

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the older courses in MN and is quite a bit easier with the new technology in today's discs.
