Pros:
Chainstar baskets are in decent shape
Cons:
--Course feels forced into too little space.
--Whoever made the signs wrote "yards" instead of "feet" when "feet" was the right answer.
--When you finish on 9, you're about 4 tenths of a mile from your car

Other Thoughts:
I'm not sure why they did this here. To be fair, the walk between the pond on the right and the wetlands on the left which define the 1st through 4th holes is pretty enough. It's also a rather narrow (10-12 ft) berm, and makes for perilous shooting. There's nothing to be widened/improve here from a disc golf standpoint. Pond right. Swamp left. And this is the good part of the course.
#5 pinches you between tennis courts and the access road, but it's playable, as is #6. After this, it just starts getting stupid. 7 is your first blind throw into thick woods. Yes, there is a basket in there somewhere, but it's hard enough to walk to it, let alone throw into that space. 8 invites you to throw over disc-eating tall grass, carrying over the edge of a bus parking lot. 9 is a repeat of 7. Just heave your disc into the middle of that thicket and hope you find both your disc and a basket, preferably in proximity to each other.
You'll have plenty of time to wonder why this course exists on the 8 minute walk back to your car, since this course doesn't, indeed can't loop around on itself. There just isn't enough property to do a course justice. If the City of Prior Lake wanted to do a DG course, nearby Cleary Lake Park, already zigzagged with cross country skiing and walking trails, would be an excellent location.

Other Thoughts:
It looks as if this course was built by the school or kids as a project or something. This course looks relatively new, 5 years old or less. With some maintenance, signage and tees this course would rated a 4 or 4.5 for me, depending on where the tees are and how well the signage is. If you play this course you have to play is safari style and make up tees. It is very challenging and you can have fun with it. If it gets tees it is a must play but for now it is only ok.
