+ Good use of trees and elevation
+ Course map at beginning, Tee signs set into concrete tees with dist, par, # and minimap.
+ Clean and well maintained
+ Good variety of hole lengths. 275'-450'
+ Does a good job avoiding other park activities, Very nice flow

- I wish the tee signs were on posts, it would make the tees much easier to spot
- The signs in the tees are fading
- 4 and 5 get very soggy

This is a good model for a city park course.

There is a water hazard on 5, avoid the patch of longer grass

After 3, follow the baseball field fence to the right
After 6, follow the baseball field fence around the corner to the left

To get 3.0: Have tee sign posts
for 3.5: Add a second set of tees and start planting more trees

The course is close to the UWRF campus which makes ideal for students, since the next closest courses are 25 mins away.
Most holes are in open areas, so it's a good course for beginners and you wont loose your disk.
Good for quick rounds with some friends.
Good place to meet other UWRF students that play disc golf.

The holes pars are 1 above what they should be, which makes it very easy to score is the -3 to -6 range.
Although the holes are open and it's nice for practice, the holes are pretty boring and not very challenging for seasoned disc golfer.
On nice days it can be very busy and you may have to wait for other players to finish the holes.

Over all the course is pretty decent. Although it isn't very diverse course, it's a nice quick course with open area, which makes it nice to practice your power throws without the fear of loosing your disks.

Free-to-play 9-Hole course with concrete tees. It's the only course worth mentioning in a 15 mile radius. It is very close to UWRF. Nicely maintained, well manicured. A couple long holes. Playing solo, you could finish your round easily in 35 minutes.

Not really "wooded" anywhere, there are trees but they are in the open. Inconsistent distances given on the green distance markers on the tee pads. For me, see the other thoughts.

If you find yourself in River Falls play the course, otherwise save your gas. Pay attention to the sign before hole one, it's the only one that really gives you the full lay-out of the course. Near a cemetery, a play ground, softball fields, camp grounds, a hockey rink, 'beach' volleyball, skate park, a walking path etc.

1) Probably some of the coolest tee-signs I have ever seen. They looked to be some sort of copper or bronze inlay into the concrete. They had Hole #, distance, par and a decent diagram of the hole including the trees. These are idiot proof (meaning tough to vandalize) and they get the point across as to what the hole it all about and I think they are the coolest thing I have ever seen in terms of signage.

2) Concrete tees are always appreciated (see also cons).

3) Excellent rolling terrain on this course. Some of it is "man-made" because it is obviously a serious runoff area (or overflow retention pond). If the retention pond were full that would be a tough couple of holes! There isn't much elevation change on any given hole, but nothing is completely flat either.

4) Nice baskets as always. I wrote down they were Mach baskets with Orange on the pole but that would lead me to believe they were Chainstars. So I apologize for my poor note taking, but there were no pictures or discussions available about which basket they are. Either way they are new and in good shape.

5) Excellent variety in challenge ranging from rollaway putts, to distance, to trees, and shot shaping. It is nice to be challenged in different ways on a course.

6) This course does a really good job of avoiding the other activity areas. At first I was fearful with the amount of people out during the first 60 degree day that I would be battling with other park users, but the one kid who was hanging around on #8 disappeared by the time we had to throw so I was happy to not have a run-in with anyone on the course.

7) Mulch was used to help with the immediate areas around the basket which is always a plus. It means they don't want the course turning to mud and I can appreciate not having to walk through mud on every hole.

8) Distance variation was good ranging from 200's, 300's and some 400's. There were not many parkable holes here which I can appreciate especially since I do not throw very far as it is, but the variety is key to good design in my opinion . . . at least in terms of the overall feel of the course. Could I play a course with 18 awesome 200-300' holes sure . . . but it would be better if there was more variety thrown in there.

9) Dual basket locations on every hole . . . I would love t play the alternate holes just to see how it affects the course and the challenge.

10) Beginner friendly from the standpoint that you cannot lose a disc here.

11) Throwing a roller here is always an option . . . on almost any hole. I only use it when I have the wind for it and a hole that is out of my reach, but many of these holes are beyond my max throw distance so I got the opportunity. Unfortunately, there was a lot of wind when I played.

1) There are a couple places where a directional would help (going from #3 to #4, and from #6 to #7), but it didn't take me long to figure it out. My wife even commented . . ."how did you know this is where the tee would be" to which I responded I have played a lot of courses and seen a lot of designs, and I can figure out layout a lot better now.

2) The concrete seems to be just a little bit small for my liking especially with the distance of these holes. I don't need a huge run-up but when the hole is longer than I can throw I prefer to not be limited by the concrete and here I was.

3) Garbage cans are plentiful in the park, but not near the disc golf tees or holes in general. They are along the walking path and near the pavilions.

4) Overall this course does not challenge me enough for my liking. Sure they have a good variety of challenge, but it is not what I would consider a hard course. Unfortunately, I played it on a day where there was strong wind so the main factor in my score was the wind and the distance. That to me does not make a challenging course.

5) Maybe a little bit too long for beginners to enjoy, although the beginners who play here will love the fact they can't lose a disc, so maybe it's a horse apiece.

6) Variety is lacking on this course because it is so open. Sure there are some trees but nothing that forces any particular shot. I simply prefer more thought than just how much power you have.

7) The lack of signs can be frustrating . . . at least in terms of routing. You might struggle to find a couple tees because all you have to go by is concrete flush with the ground.

A decent course that could use some more challenge and some more woods. The amenities are ok, but I don't like how short the teepads are especially on a long course.

I wouldn't play tis regularly because it isn't that much fun, most of the challenge comes from distance and wind and less from the trees, obstacles, and shot shaping.

-Longer holes for a nine hole
-Cement teepads
-Easy to navigate
-Can work multiple lines

This a longer nine hole about 30 minutes outside of St. Paul. It does take a little time to get to and is easier to find them the directions sound like. It is at Hoffman Park and probably should be called Hoffman Park DGC.

The course is a mostly open, most flat course. There is a slight elevation change in a couple places. The trees are the main obstacle as you go around the course. You have opportunities to work on different types of shots here. The is only one hole that really limits your short selection.

It winds the back side of the park going around the picnic grounds, behind the baseball fields, along the cemetery, and over the retention area (wasn't a pond, but definitely for retention). Holes range from around 250-450 which actually give you the opportunity to get some use out of your drivers which is generally rare for a park nice hole. Tee "signs" are on the actual cement pads with distance from the holes on them. A couple did not look accurate however. There is a sign with a map of the course at hole 1 but it is easy pretty easy to navigate. There is a decent walk from hole 6 to 7, but it pretty much common sense.

-Long for the sake of being long
-Could have used elevation better
-All baskets were straight lines from the tee
-If park was busy with picnic and such, some hole could be unplayable

This course has both of my personal pet peeves. First, all basket were straight out for the teepad. Whether it was 275 or 450, when you stood on the teepad the back was straight ahead. There were trees in the path, however, there was not a shot were you really had to a certain line at all, with the except of maybe hole 4. With the natural obstacle there are at the park, there could have easily been a couple hyzer and anhzyer protected baskets and the course would have been so much better.

Secondly, the course was "long for the sake of being long". When I say that I mean, the holes were longer because they could be, not for any rhyme or reason. Majority of the baskets did not have an obstacle within 30 meters. I cannot even think of one that did, but sticking with majority. I would have rather of seen holes as short as 180', if it really had a purpose for why it was that short. The slightly elevation changes could have been used a lot better as well. With playing around the retention area for three holes, there was some potential for more use of those elevation. You got to throw over the retention area on hole 5, so it seems like you are throwing downhill, however, you are really just throwing into the retention area if you cannot throw over 400'.

I found the course to be a good opportunity to be able to work some lines if that what you came here to do. Because I was only here to check out the course and play it for its face value, I did not. After catching the tree on hole 1 and taking a bogey, I went the safest route for my ability. I threw forehand rollers, approached and took the three on the rest of the holes, with the exception for 5, where I still took a 3, or where I deuced. This did not make the course challenging for me, which normally a longer course would be I do not have the strongest arm. The course was too open to avoid major issues. I also clipped a picnic table with a roller, thus proving it wouldn't be a safe to throw if people were there.

This course is ideal for learning your drivers, but it not a destination course by any means. If I lived in the Twin Cites area, it still would be a one and done for me. If I lived in the River Falls area, I would be grateful for this course and use it religiously. There is not a lot of courses near by and most of them are really short by comparison. I would use this course for learning how to drive and play, and work with the park district to make improvements on the course. I would take my skills on the weekends to the Twin Cities area or Menomonie area to test my progress on some more challenging courses.

Park area is well-groomed and open. Concrete tee boxes, signs and baskets in good shape. The course makes good use of the available landscape. No real overlap with other holes, and the course loops back to the start.

The last three holes cross by and through the kids playground area, so if the weather is nice, there will be conflicts. Amenities are all tied to other park facilities. Holes are

For a course set up within the developed parts of a pre-existing park, this course isn't too bad. 5th fairway crosses over a storm water retention pond, so spring play could be fun.
