Compared to the higher, more rugged, more mountainous, disc golf courses on ski slopes that I've played in the western US, Hyland is just a touch more gentle. Granted it's still a workout but this course was groomed. I really liked that aspect. Even on # 18 here, with an errant throw, you could still par the hole. I liked the cleverly constructed benches made out of out snowboards. The scorecards are top notch. Other ski courses I've played have had rough natural pads, here you have great, extra-long, grippy concrete pads. Also the entire course here is much more groomed/mowed then other ski courses I've played. Made for a much more comfortable round.

The costs $3 per round, or $5 per day for all day or $30 for a season's pass for all three courses is a very fair deal when you consider and see all the work that is done on these three courses.
There are some great views of downtown Minneapolis from the top.

And # 18 was indeed the signature hole here for me. 710 feet downhill with the basket just sitting down there awaiting your tee off. What I wouldn't give to have a big arm here.

I didn't care much for # 14. 545' straight up a nasty steep hill is not fun and borders on tortuous to me.
Physically, this is a good workout. You're plenty tired by the end. Bring water.
I never like throwing down or over gravel roads and pathways.
I had to walk ahead on quite a few holes to determine where the basket was.

I liked Hyland OK but wasn't completely thrilled with it. It just didn't take my breath away with it's design. It's an enjoyable course but it's missing that "It" factor for me. It's a good deal with the other two courses for the Three Rivers Pass. You gotta love the effort their putting into disc golf around the area.

-Plenty of parking.
-Waste Baskets @ tees
-Benches
-Nice concrete tees.
-Mach III Baskets
-Very nice scorecards
-This course will, if nothing else, teach you how to throw on elevation
-The few wooded holes that there were, had some nice design to them.
-Hole #18 is fun if you just want to see your disc fly for a long time.
-View from top of hill is pretty.
-Not very crowded, probably because this course is more of a workout than others around it.

-Hole #14 , this hole is a pain in the butt. Throw you disc up a steep hill for 545ft with nothing technical to it, just drive, hike, drive, hike.
-Some fairways were made up of gravel roads, will tear into discs.
-Outside of elevation, there was not very much in terms of hole design. (there were a few nicely designed ones)
-Signs weren't very helpful, had to scout ahead to locate basket many times.
-Closed for skiing in winter (unavoidable but still, if you want to play year round, you couldn't)

Bring water, you're in for a hike. This course has you thowing up and down a ski slope. It has the money put into it that it should really be a better course than it is in my opinion. If you are really are looking for an elevation challenge, you're in luck, otherwise I'd look elsewhere for your disc golf fix.

The courses managers take extremely good care of this course, lots of variety of shots needed and a challenging course.

A plethora of uphill and downhill shots that will tire you out tremendously. Also, not sure if is worth the fee to play

A great variety of different holes, and the layout is well done for the location. The last hole straight down the hill is especially fun. Its pretty difficult to lose discs on this course so its a good place to go for the best shots. Plus there's a nice shop in the ski lodge with food, beer, and a lot of discs.

This course makes for a long round. There's a lot of walking uphill, and its not fun when your disc rolls down the slope. Bad throws are costly.
There is little shade on the course and it will get pretty hot, so bring sunblock and water.

Its worth playing, especially since its a common place for tournaments; casual, amateur, and pro.
