Reviewed: Played on:Oct 6, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Nice elevation changes
-Beautiful park
-Excellent signage showing hole location and directions to next tee box
-Concrete tee boxes

Cons:

-Course is only 9 holes is pretty short

Other Thoughts:

There are numerous par 4 holes which would be par 3 holes on any other course. If you've never gotten an eagle before this is the course to get your first.

Good Beginner Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- A lot of variety on length, trees, and elevation
- No/Short Wait on holes
- Close Parking
- Well Mowed

Cons:

- A lot of trash, no trash cans
- A lot of people just hanging out and walking around
- Not a lot of really long holes
- Par is really easy

Other Thoughts:

I played this yesterday and it was a fun play. The holes give some good variety, but the pars are way to easy. We all got under par for the round and Eagles were pretty common. I suggest playing everything as a par 3 to make it better. The course could use a couple more longer holes and a lot of cleaning. The course was busy but we never had to wait for anyone before we teed off. It was very good for my beginner friends. If you are decent this course will be fun, but not too challenging.

Very cool 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great location and fine utilization of the space and set up of the park. This course is built on/around a nice sized hill. Several holes feature up or downhill shots. Nice amount of woods too. Well maintained. Great little 9.

Cons:

Seems to be a bit of a 'hang out' for the local kids. You may wanna be careful about where you park.

Other Thoughts:

Beautiful little wooded course about a block off the beaches of Big Detroit Lake. What more can you ask for?

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It is very scenic. Nice place to go for a good day to play some disc. The tees are very nice; cement. Good mix of short and long holes.

Cons:

The tee-offs are a bit small. The baskets are not easy to ace, Not many chains.

Other Thoughts:

There is a Zorbaz and beach close by. About a hour away from Fargo where there are many other courses.

Detroit Lakes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 11, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Beautifully manicured park within the city park of Detroit Lakes. There is an excellent use of elevation change throughout the course. Flows very well, easy to get from hole to hole. Mature trees also are well used making use of a variety of shots, long and short.

Cons:

Course can become very busy. With the city of this size, another nine would be helpful and workable in the same location.

Other Thoughts:

Very fun course to play. There is a good chance for an ace on this course because of its relatively short holes. (most holes are reachable on a good first drive) Our group had a hard time leaving! Definitely worth a stop.

Nice Course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

The course is very well maintained. There is a variety of uphill and downhill shots. The tees are cement. All the holes have plenty of short grass around them, so losing a disc is nearly impossible.

Cons:

The baskets are a little smaller than most. The course can become busy at times.

Other Thoughts:

After a round or two of discing on a hot day, head to the beautiful beach across the street.
