Pros:
On the plus side:
•Signage - there are detailed signs on each tee pad. Some even have specialized instruction, such as the island hole #12.
•Multiple tee pads - There is enough difference between the two shots to make it interesting. There is a clear difficulty difference between the two as well, blue hander than red.
•Related to signage, but there are color coded directional indicators to the next tee in the bottom of each basket. Great stuff.
•Dynamic Veteran baskets - nice and fat and catch a lot of discs. Never threw on them before, but like them a lot.
•Variety - threw almost all 18 discs in my bag. Even get a chance to go big on 13. However, there isn't much need for high speed drivers here. I love the island hole, #12.
•Tee pad brushes - mounted on a hook next to every tee pad. What a nice touch.
•Easy access off of the interstate. Trash and restroom available.
•Extremely clean and well-maintained.
Cons:
Wouldn't necessarily call t a con - more midddling.
•Tee pads. They are nice and big, but I am not a fan of rubber. It rained hard the night before, and even after using the brush to remove the puddles, I still damn near broke my neck on one with a major slip.
•13 holes. No idea what the logistics would be to bump it up to 18, but given that it has a river on one edge, probably not happening. Very industrial on the other side.

Overall impression:
This is a fun disc golf course - it is close enough to many other courses to make an appetizer or dessert of it, which I bundled with Bethel. It is pretty easy, which can also be a plus depending on how bad other courses may have treated you. I love a course where you can show up and play without a map, and easily navigate to the next hole, and Riverfront has it in spades. 13 holes is better than 9, and if I was looking for a quick fix in the north Metro of Minneapolis, this would be a repeat customer.
