+The vibe reads like a number of people care about this course and do a lot to make it better. Really enjoy this in a course, hopefully I didn\'t misread it here. +Tons of variety. I was shocked at the elevation at this park. All shot shapes available and needed. Over the top bombs on a few holes are there. Up hill. Down hill. Tunnels. Flat bucks. Sweet. +Garbage cans and tables on most holes. Keeps the course clean. +Dual tees. Longs play considerably harder, shorts appear to be no joke in most cases. A few long tee pads seemed a little forced but could be waiting on some tree clearing/breaking in to be what they were intended to be. +Signage. Solid markings leading to the next hole which is absolutely necessary here. Most homemade, shout out to whoever put them in. +Fun 18 hole course in a bit of a dead zone, especially if you\'re coming from the Wisconsin side instead of Minnesota. ~15 minute drive from Stillwater.

-Tee pads. Probably the most glaring issue here. Some are solid, others are tiny and a few are almost completely deteriorated. -Baskets. Mach II\'s.-Some questionable long tee pad locations. Some of the long pads fairly increase difficulty with added distance and a harder line while some make the hole nearly impossible by taking the angle to an extreme. Haven\'t played the course enough to reference specific holes, but on at least a few you would stand on the short pad and look at a difficult, uphill, steep hyzer shot in the woods. The long pad would be the same distance but simply 30-50 feet to either side, turning a tricky shot into an actual trick shot or, more likely, a layup. Feel like there is a Goldilocks layout with a mixture of the longs and shorts. -No water hazards.

Was more than pleasantly surprised with Somerset DGC. Very cool terrain and lots of different kinds of shots. I was on a time crunch so was playing to stay in the fairway (didn\'t work most of the time) but if you were local there looked like some fun, creative lines out there. Not sure how trafficked this place is, but it seemed very raw in places still. With a little time and some effort it could be a great course to call home. Big props to anyone that helps make this course better. If you find yourself near the MN/WI border and have always gone toward Lakewood or St. Paul courses, consider heading the other way and trying Somerset. You\'ll likely avoid the crowds and there\'s some great golf to be had. Lots of housing developments going up around the park. In spots, fairways and backyards border each other. This park-neighbor relationship seems very new out here- on hole 3 a resident stopped mowing to watch me tee off. Could have been to make sure I didn\'t cross over into his yard or simple courtesy. Help make sure it was the latter, consider the neighbors when you\'re out playing! Great weekday course to play a league or a fun round with some friends.

+ Great variety of of holes; open, wooded, and elevated.
+ Great group of volunteers, club members that continuously work to improve and develop this course.
+ Challenging for rec players, but will still push the advanced players to make good shots.
+ Another great option for players from the East Twin Cities Metro area. Only 15 minutes from the lift Bridge in Stillwater, MN.

- Some teepads are still temporary. Some are still being finalized... The newer gravel pads are boxed with wood are short, awkward, and slightly misoriented. (but I imagine will be improved upon)
- Hole #12 is a little ridiculous; a large pond to the left, awkwardly short teepad, 10' gap between trees 30' from teepad to reach the fairway which goes slightly uphill to the right... Open the gap a bit for a reasonable shot.
- No map/course layout/hole layouts/distances available. (I imagine this will be changed shortly and most likely a result of the recent redesign in May 2014.

I love the technical aspects of this course, utilizing the natural landscape and trees to influence shot and shape selection.

#4 is a shorter hole, but has low hanging limbs/branches preventing a direct run at the basket. The ravine provides a backstop to disc-up in hopes for the teeshot to skip up near the pin.

#5 is a beautiful hole; slightly uphill with tall trees to either side of the fairway. If you're able to navigate the trees, you could possibly have a bird look but a 3 would still be good!

#12 is a newer hole and (as mentioned in my cons comments) is an unnecessary challenge.

#15 is a great legitimate par 4. A long open fairway that turns left back into the woods at around 340'. If you are able to get your tee shot to the corner, there is still about a 200+' approach shot slightly uphill back into the woods. The trees create a small/low opening that could knock your shot down or force your shot to fall short. This is a great hole!

Come and play! With the lack of options along the western Wisoncsin border, this is a must play.

This course is designed to promote Disc Golf in the St. Croix Valley. The course was initially designed to allow beginners to learn all the throws needed to become better hucker. Since i was unaware of the skill level in the area, all holes where created short, with the possibility of expansion. We are currently working on adding alternate pins and tees which will increase the length 600+ feet & allow a person to play 18 holes using the two tee locations. Please be patient with us, most work is done by volunteers. By the end of the season we will have consistent tee pads, alternate tees on 7 holes, alternate pins on 6 holes, benches, bulletin board, and actual hole signage with distances. This winter we will be looking to expand into the other part of the park and making it a true 18 hole course.

Muddy
Buggy
Short

I have been greatly surprised the amount of use and comments that i receive while talking with people at the course.

I want to give a big thank you to the village of somerset for all of the help and up-keep. The course wouldn't be here without your help.

-Land is only being used for disc golf
-Holes have a decent variety of shots
-Uses the elevation changes well
-Markers to direct you to next hole

The ten holes at Somerset DCG is the best course that I have played along the MN/WI border. The first three holes give you a chance to throw a couple of drives. Hole 3 offers the opportunity for a couple of drives if you do not have strong arm (It's 470 and slightly uphill). After that the course takes you into the woods for short technical holes. They use the terrain for uphills, downhills, and a deep hyzer on 10.

The course as a hole gives off that disc golf vibe that you look for in a course. You don't have to worry about hitting kids on a playground or cyclist whipping through too fast. The giant rocks with hole numbers and the wood trunk cuts with the arrows and numbers for the next whole gave it a great feeling. I might have to steal that idea on the next course I put up. The whole exclusive course feel is a big win to me.

It is both beginner friendly and offer some challenges with some distance on the open holes and elevation throughout the course.

-Short holes are just that...short
-Needs a little more added amentities
-Teepads inconsistent

Although the wooded holes are fun, they are currently extremely short. I do not have a huge arm and my first time through I deuced 5 of them. I missed a putt within my confidence circle and got metal on 3 and 10 from just outside my circle. They are in the process of extending and making alternative ones which will definitely add to the course. I found what I believe to be a couple of them the second time through. It will be huge improvements. I personally hope they keep both tees. It'll be good for families or slower groups to play from the shorts and have the longs.

I do not tire generally when I play, especially when they are less than 18, but this course could probably use a couple of benches for people while waiting if it got busy. A couple garbage cans throughout the course would be a bonus since I did pick up some garbage and recycled when I got back to the parking lot. If they could get the community to put a port-a-potty there it would be a plus as well. You could just drive back to the gas station where you jumped off 64. The teepads were pretty slick and well. I had a problem with footing on a couple of them. Might have just needed to be swept. They seemed grainy.

I look forward to playing this course again when you improvements are complete. If I was to try to get a course installed in that general area I would bring park district people to this courses to use it as an example. It gives a decent story of what disc golf should offer. Longer open holes, wooded technical holes, elevation changes, and privacy. It is a good template to get people started in the right direction. Plus if it gets to the multiple tees point, another added bonuses for tour purposes. One of the hardest things to get park districts to understand is multiple tee locations.

Next time in town wife my wife, I would like to take her to Stillwater for a little shopping, lunch, brewery tour, walk along the river, and a couple of rounds at Somerset would make a solid afternoon. This course is worth a peek if your in the area. When the improvements are done, it has the potential to be worth going out of the way for. When the improvements are done, this has true potential to be a solid 4 type of course. And if the distance improves on the shorts and they get the extra 8 holes added, there is no way with the effort E_Rock and the crew are putting in it wouldn't be.

This is a good course building towards being a very good to great course. This is one to watch out for if you are near the WI/MN border.

Really fun little course. Only 1 hole that isn't reachable for even a noodle arm like myself. But nothing is easy, technical course with good use of trees to force you to shape shots. Plays a nice loop starting and ending at the parking lot. Every hole has a bit of a different feel, some uphill some downhill, left turns, right turns.

Overall a good little 10 hole course.

Teepads. 5 are concrete, 5 are gravel. The concrete is way too smooth, and it was slippery in the morning. The Gravel is rough and pitted. The only upside to the gravel is they are all on holes that are pretty much short and technical so there isn't much run-up needed. The slopes down a couple hills are pretty steep, and were slippery since it had recently rained.

As we were starting our 2nd round someone drove up and chatted for a bit, stated that they are planning on another 9 across the road. That would instantly bump this up to a 3.5 or even a 4 if they put a couple longer holes in. As it is, this is a fun course, that is worth a trip if you are nearby.
