Mediocre drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 18, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Not busy
Little chance of a lost disc
Mixed of treed and open
Good mix of distances

Cons:

Dull.
No throwing pads.

Other Thoughts:

Course progresses roughly anti-clockwise through a modest suburban city park.

We parked in the lot off of Kiowa St NW, which is just north of
Viking Blvd behind Fire Station #2. From the parking lot, the first throwing spot is on the other side of the skateboard area.

Simple wooden posts mark the intended throwing areas.

The first half is mostly through the woods, though few of the trees are really in the way. I found this, by far, the most interesting part of the course. The second half is through natural fields with only narrow paths mowed.

Not that well marked, but still difficult to get lost. Some walking between baskets and new tee area, notably between #4 & #5.

I suspect most skilled players will find this course no real challenge, while most casual players may grow weary of frequent detours into the weeds to search for discs.

We'd play this course if it was near our home, or maybe we'd stop again if driving past, but I cannot imagine this could be a destination course for anyone.

Decent, fun. 2+ years

Pros:

9 hole course located in a multi-use park in Oak Grove, MN.

Nice DGA baskets, all in solid shape. One pin location per hole. They caught fine, and were mounted well.

For 9 holes, there's some variation in distance. Some super shorties, but a couple longer holes to stretch out on. It was decently surprising, and well designed. Most of the course is a putter/mid type, but you'll get to throw drivers on 7 and 9.

Most of the shorter holes had some decent obstacles to manage, with some nice wooded type shots.

Basic wood tee signs here, with hole number and distance. It's plenty here, as routes and baskets are easy to find. Navigation was pretty simple, as it basically plays in a circle.

Cons:

The prairie grass on some holes here is pretty rugged, and will eat up discs. The fairways aren't crazy narrow, but they're narrow enough that you'll want to be paying attention.

Natural tee pads, but they were decent enough. There's a couple tee areas that you could play off the walking trail.

The playground plays a bit close to some of the holes, but you'd have to be errant by a decent amount to bring it into play.

Other Thoughts:

This is a decent little nine hole course, with some variation in shots. The grass is a bummer, but it is what it is.

The course is relatively beginner friendly, or just fun with a couple beers and some buddies. Not worth going out of your way for, but you probably won't leave here sad after playing.

Many thorns, by busy park.
