Pros:
Unless you're an elite player, you should enjoy this
course, yet newcomers should not find it too difficult.
Each hole has individual character. I think it quite a clever design given the space and resource constraints.
Eight pads are concrete; #5 is wooden. All are in fine shape, though they often have a layer of grit, which can make for traction issues. Baskets are in sound condition too.
Fine signs, including the map at the start. It's almost impossible to get lost here. The pads have a little map built into each-- well done, that. The only instance where one must pay real attention to navigation is the first time on #3 pad-- the most visible basket is #8, while basket #3 is to the left obscured by the trees.
Trash cans every several holes.

Cons:
No washrooms. The nearest public facilities are likely to the south near Broadway and Brooklyn, which is not *that* far away, but hardly walking distance either.
Closed Sunday mornings due to church services. To be clear, this is not a flame or a gripe; I'm thrilled to have this fine course available when it is.
Like most any treed course in Minnesota, mosquitoes can be an issue, especially near dusk.

Other Thoughts:
If I was allowed to pick one course and move it close to my home, it'd be this one because it provides such a variety of challenges to a variety of players.
The course is in a treed area behind the Revive Brooklyn Park Church. The trees are near an ideal density, providing challenge without being so thick as to be frustrating, except on #9, where I think the trees are meant to be nothing but frustrating.
While the distances are on the short side, at least there are a variety of distances.
While most players have a realistic chance to score two-- or at least make par-- on just about any hole, there are just enough obstacles to make a score of five a reasonable possibility too.
Like the signs says, this is a natural course over uneven terrain, which means there are tripping hazards.
I've seen this course busy, but never overcrowded. There is plenty of parking near the back of the church lot; just go toward the cell phone tower.
It would be difficult to lose a disc here, although the high grass to the left and long of #2 is a place where you can sure lose some time, if not a disc.
The water hazard on #5 is a true hazard with the overhanging trees, especially the one near the bridge. The water may look clear and shallow, but the bottom is soft and after you sink beyond your ankles, the water will no longer be clear. Some players with limited throwing range may have difficulty making the throw over the water, even with the elevated pad. We have one such player; she always counts one stroke and then plays from the bridge.
The last hole may have been conceived by someone with bit of a sadistic streak. While it's among the shortest, I find it the most difficult because you must throw through such an obstacle course of trees that you are all but certain to hit at least one. After you get through the trees, you'll find a basket set atop a rise just high enough that many misses will roll twenty feet into the brush.
I do not know who maintains this course, but whoever you are:
THANK YOU!

- It's a quick round so it kinda sucks being done so fast

Other Thoughts:
- I have not yet played Central but by the looks and sound of it everyone plays those two courses as a complete 18 hole round. If there is room to expand which I am unsure of it would be sweet to see another short 9 thrown in here. For a 9 hole course, this one is easily top 3 in my books for playing. Something drew me in right away to this course, give it a shot!
