--Excellent piece of property
--Outstanding signage on tees and greens
--Prodigy baskets
--Concrete tees in good shape
--Free to play

--On many holes, the 2nd tee option isn't much different.
--The flow from #9/#19 to #10/#20 is stupid

This is a 10 basket course with 20 tee pads. You go around twice (if so inclined) for 20 holes, although in most cases the two tees for each hole are rather close together and don't change the hole much. No matter...it's the sort of course where it's not at all unpleasant to take a second lap.

It's mostly a par 3 affair, although the 9th/19th and 10th/20th are par fours. For my money, the 4th/14th is the signature hole. It's down off the tee, then back up to the basket. I suppose you can call the path you walk between them a fairway, but you really have to take this one over the trees on the left side of the fairway and up to the basket. The trouble is thick on both sides, and there is a tendency to get caught in the trees while down in the valley between tee and basket. It will certainly take more than one shot to undo any mistakes you make. Ask me how I know...

On the topic of getting stuck in the trees, one does get to wondering about the name of the park. Objectively, yes, there are quite a few red oaks about, but subjectively, if you didn't hate sumac before your round, you'll learn to do so by then end of it. With leaves off in the fall, it's thick and nasty, but at least you can throw something out over the top. In the summer it's got to be like trying to pitch out of a pup tent (all flies zipped down tight).

Eventually though, I suppose you'll find your way to the basket as we always do, and at Red Oak, you'll find the next tee with ease because of excellent next tee signage. Big numbers, big arrows, no ambiguity. Every course should do this.

The only disappointment regarding flow occurs between the last two holes. The basket for 9 is halfway up the length of the 10th hole. You end up walking a long way back to the tee, potentially into the drive of the group ahead of you, then doubling back to the last basket. There was enough room to do something else here, and it seems like a shame to finish the round with a weak point in the design.

I'll return to this one though. The positives outweigh the negatives by quite a margin, even if this isn't "really" a 20 holer.

Multiple Tees
Well kept baskets
Variety of holes including elevation and woods
Mixture of easy and mildly challenging shots

Sometimes muddy
Easy to lose your disc on a couple holes, I think it's hole 4 that comes to mind where you throw 200 feet over a small valley

Good course, use bright discs in a couple places unless you're super confident in your throws or you'll waste a few minutes looking

+At least a little elevation on every hole keeps it interesting. Hole 2 and 3 were pretty big elevation changes.
+Easy to follow layout.
+2 tees on each hole make it easy for you to play 20 slightly different holes.
+Tees are concrete and are off adequate size
+The holes are on the shorter side overall but there are some slightly longer holes especially 9 and 10.
+The course loops around to the parking lot nicely.
+The course is fairly lightly wooded as long as you stay on the fairway. If you get off the fairway it can get a bit harder. This course fairly punishes errant shots.
+This course is on the shorter side so it offers ace runs for many levels of players while still offering a bit of challenge and risk-reward play for more experienced players.
+Baskets are older but still catch just fine.

-Lots of really, really slow players. Some just sitting at tees smoking weed. It could take you a long time to get through 10 holes. It is the only course in a large suburb.
-The two sets of tees weren't that different, certainly not worth being called separate holes.
-Like many old courses, this one is suffering from erosion issues.
-Losing a disc is possible, especially on those holes that involve sumac along the fairways.

+This course is older and quite busy. Most of its issues stem from these two. It has some erosion, is quite busy, and isn't challenging compared to newer championship style course.
+This course is worth a stop. It had a high fun factor for me. I would avoid evenings and weekends, it could be really busy. This course is comparable to other nearby courses like Brockway and Alimagnet.

Free-to-play, 10-hole course with alternate cement tees. A good course, has a little bit of everything, short/long-ish, open/wooded, flat/hilly. Great wood-chipped paths and putting areas in some cases.

It just seems very vanilla. Several holes seem to me to be nearly identical. A lot of mostly open rhbh hyzer shots.

Definitely worth playing if you haven't. You walk away going "meh, it's good, just not THAT good."

Good City Course - It has Cement Tee Pads with Good Signage....It is a relatively easy course to navigate (for a new-comer)....Provides great diversity with the given land and Hole 10 comes right back to Hole 1 (which is always an advantage...Especially considering this course is technically a 20 Hole Course with 2 seperate Tee Pads for each Basket)

A bit short and the Pars seem to be off! Hole 9/19 & 10/20 are potential Par 4's but every Hole should certainly be played as a Par 3!

Fun Course in the Heart of Minneapolis's Suburb Culture! There was 1 1/2 inches of Snow on the ground when I played here and yet there were, still, 3 other groups out playing!.....If you are traveling along I-494 or 35W in the Twin Cities area, it is worth a stop!.....This course provides distance, technicallity and some elevation that will keep you challenged......Yet is not a true 'Challenge' Course! (For example.....River or Mountain Courses)....Overall a Fun One and can relieve the stess of the City!

Very fun course for beginers and people who play daily. Each pin has 2 tee's on it so you get double the course in the same area.
Holes are spread out and vary in difficulty.
The last time I was there a Jimmy Johns delivery guy was walking through with free sandwiches advertising that the local store delivers to the course and that they will even deliver out to the specific hole you are on.

The brush here can be very thick unforgiving. Whether its because of the thorns slashing at your hands, or that they are so good at eating discs, you really don't want to stray off the fairway here.

My favorite part of this course is the big trees and narrow fairways. Even on the few holes that are out in the open, the fairways are groomed to be about 30 ft across. The pin placements seem to be well thought out and not just slapped into a bunch of trees, and the slight elevation changes can become a challenge. This is a very enjoyable course to play for players of different skill. Also, this course does not seem to get as much traffic as others in the area, which to me is an added bonus.

The dirt tee boxes can get a bit muddy, but I read a review that said that will change.

Keep an eye on your drives till they finish here because once you get off the fairway it can be a jungle.
