Pros:
- Bigger arms are going to love this one. Some pretty good distances ranging from 200 to 700 feet. There are even some decent obstacles so it's not just throwing in a giant open field over and over again as hard as you can.
- The equipment were some type of Prodigy baskets which I cannot recall but they caught well and there were no issues in that regard.
- The course design was surprisingly good and like I mentioned earlier, it wasn't just the same shot over and over again. There's even a little water carry action on the last few baskets. Nothing super threatening but still wouldn't be fun to try to have to fish your disc out of there.
- There's a clubhouse which does offer food and drinks after a round which is always a huge plus. There's also restrooms and ample parking.

Cons:
- I don't believe DGers are able to rent the golf carts which kind of sucks but maybe they will start offering in the future.
- Ball golfers are playing along side you so you absolutely must be careful when they are around. I suggest letting them play through as to avoid any injuries which would not be good for the DG part of the course.
- No teepads.. which is usually the case on these types of courses although a few had some astroturf laid on the ground which I guess is sorta helpful. Better than nothing I suppose.
- No tee signs which is a pretty big thumbs down in my opinion. You absolutely have to rely on uDisc to navigate this one which I know will be a negative to a few of my older DG companions who don't use modern technology.
- Pay to play. Well, yea that's again something that's pretty much expected at these types of places and in my opinion, $10 is a little steep for a round here.

Other Thoughts:
Overall, this wasn't a bad one at all. With some even basic signage and temporary teepads, this could be a solid 3.5/3.75 given the fact it was designed very well.
It is only available during the summertime which is kind of strange considering this would be a great winter time course. You wouldn't have to worry about the bolfers like you do during the summertime but I'm guessing they don't want to have to keep the clubhouse open all year around.
Regardless, this is a pretty fun one to check out if you're in the area playing Wildapple down in Osseo (which is only about 10 minutes away?).

Other Thoughts:
Viking DGC was put into place for a tournament, designed with the help of Cale Leviska. It is now a seasonal course for play! It is $10 to play for the day and you need to be cognoscente of any ball golfers out on the course.
