Other Thoughts:

The course is laid out on the enormous and immaculately maintained lawns in front of the St Cloud VA Medical center. There's ample mature tree growth through out the park but unfortunately the course plays along the periphery of the wooded areas and, with the slight exception of #2,4,5, it doesn't really become a factor. The one and only skill required here is distance and a lot of it. This has to be the longest 9 hole in the state with many holes running 500'+. Despite it's dry nature, however, the VA course provides a much need amenity to the St Cloud disc golf scene. There aren't many other places in the area were a player can go to open their arm and work on drives without penalty. It didn't appear to see a lot of traffic and the grass was mowed and well maintained meaning you can empty your bag without holding up another group and find all of your disc easily when your finished.

All in all this isn't the course to spend a leisurely afternoon nor is a place that's going on your top ten. The VA medical center does provide a place for the local dedicated players to come work on their drives and putting without the hassles of a crowded course or park.
