Not What I Was Expecting 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 24, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

If you like longer holes with no water hazards, this is your place to go.

Cons:

I haven't dealt with too many pay-to-play courses. The ones I have encountered have been my favorite places to play, for the most part. This course was well kept, because it was on a stick course, but it was as boring and simple as a round of disc golf can be. With no major obstacles (other than the tree two feet in front of the tee on either 15 or 16) and no real variations from hole to hole, it just felt like I was throwing the disc as far as I could every single time. If that wasn't bad enough, the course was hard to navigate and several of the pro tees were missing altogether. I'm still baffled that I had to pay for something so poorly kept. I'd rather go to Highland Park, which is basically just half the size of Fort Snelling but free.

Other Thoughts:

18 was an interesting hole to finish off the course. You get a 2 stroke penalty for stepping on any of the greens, and a 2 stroke penalty if you hit or walk in a sand trap and don't rake it. 18 had 4 sand traps, the first being fifty yards directly in front of the tee, and the pin was 20 yards behind a green. My friend and I laughed through the entire hole, still mystified as to why we had to pay to play on a stick course that obviously didn't want any disc golfers.
