-Scenic: All 18 holes are heavily wooded, and after hole 8, the Sucker River will bend in and out of most holes, making this course rather scenic and relaxing.

-Secluded: This course is located several miles outside of Grand Marais. After turning down the two track road, a mile and half or so you will find the small parking lot. This gives the course a real 'out of the way' feel where making it relaxing and quiet. During my time on the course, i only ever ran into one group of other players in what i'd consider the peak time of the day (3-6).

-Easy to Navigate: At the end of each hole, there are arrows pointing to the next tee which made the course easy to follow even for it being my first time.

-Challenge: The course is somewhat of a difficult one. The trees and sharp cuts left or right makes the course more appropriate for experienced players who can appreciate a good challenge. Hole 18 offers a very difficult ~450 hard dogleg right along the river. A good score on this course is very rewarding to the player.

-Lack of Variety: The course had very little which made it stand out. There are only a few holes which stand out in my mind as interesting and unique. One can only experience the same mid range holes that either dog leg left or right before starting to get bored with it.

-Overgrown: Although the bed of ferns adds to the scenic experience, it also makes it very frustrating spending extra time on holes looking for discs after each throw. Most of the time there was no real difference between fairway and not.

-Challenge: I know i put this on the Pros list as well...however i feel that this also detracts from the course as well. The amount of trees and overgrown bushes made this course rather frustrating after a while. I feel as though clearing some more trees would improve the course greatly.

All in all this course was fun and the overwhelming quiet is hard to find, but i have no desire to play here again. The combination of the boring hole design and level of foliage that is found on this course greatly detract from its value. I wish the course would've incorporated the river more, that may have made things much more entertaining. However, it's a free course and it sure beats working or going to class!

An added note, a huge Pro for the course came from the blanket of wild blueberry bushes which was can be found on the entire course. If you have a chance, coming in late July or early August will give you a special bonus!
