-Fantastic signage
-Fantastic baskets
-Good length, with a mix of some shorter more technical holes as well
-Lose a disc in the water? No big deal, take a paddle board out there and get it back! Or wait until they go get it. They'll send a text to let you know they have it waiting for you!
-The Red and the Black teepees are very different and create the feel of almost having two courses.
-The land is incredibly well maintained
-These might be my favorite teepads out there. They maintain them so well in the winter, whereas concrete will often be icy and slippery. They're a good size, too. Plenty of room to make your throw.

-I've had a couple discs taken from the shack that were found. They may have changed their policy but at the time they didn't check names for lost & found discs
-At $10 it is twice the cost of BRP, which is down the road, but this is nitpicking because BRP, frankly, should also be $10

This isn't just a great course, it's an amazing experience. Ziplines, paddleboards, fun side games, good leagues, etc! I've never played anything else like it.

Vision Quest is a great course, if you are in Minnesota and want to play the top courses come out to VQ and BRP.

Complete with Zip lines, camping, bag toss, fire pits and much more.

I have had 6+ discs returned to me. They are very good about messaging you and letting you know when they have found your discs.

3 Tee boxes for every hole keeps the variety fresh.

Carts available at all times is awesome and reasonably priced

The only con I can list for the course is that in general it's pretty darn flat. In their defense they do have a some man made structures that they created to keep things interesting but compared to other top level courses that is one thing they lack.

Flat courses is just the nature that is available in MN. Unfortunately with the exception of a few courses and the local ski hills courses-in which those courses you have a lot of distance elevation change but not much for technical holes.

Geographically with what they have to work with they did a great job.

Owners are fun to chat with, club house/semi trailer has a lot of discs for sale and snacks available as well.

The course is an absolute blast to play.

-Every hole is immaculately manicured

-Every basket is surrounded with wonderful mulch, which both looks and feels nice

-If you happen to throw a disc in the water, the course has paddleboards, paddleboats, and kayaks strewn around so you can go retrieve it

-The baskets are lit at night, which looks awesome in the dark, and allows for some really fun night playing

-Up near the parking lot they've got games set up and a large tent nearby with a grill... bring some meat!

None.

Mike just may be the nicest person that I've ever met... accommodating in every sense of the word!

Bring a floating disc, or those sticky Styrofoam circles... the odds are great that you'll throw one (or three!) in the drink!

Aug
Just played today and must say, this place keeps getting better. Met the owner out there cutting branches, swiping tees, and just simply working the place for my enjoyment. He joined in even for the back nine!! Anyhow the place looks amazing, plays excellent all out a good time.

June
Everything about this place is a Pro !!!! From the tee's to the fairways to the basket, it's clean and extremely well maintained. Lighted baskets for the early morning and dusk games not to mention an insane night course. Words cannot give this place a proper description. A MUST play. Oh yeah, cart rental, zipline, trampoline, happening real soon, footgolf. Best part yet, if you sink one in the water, you will get it back. Thanks Mike for making this dream a reality. Can't wait to see what's next.

Ummmmmmm............ On evening rounds the sunsetting on an amazing backdrop can hinder your view on 16.

GO PLAY THIS COURSE !!!!!!!

The moment I rolled into the parking lot I was in love. By far the most visually appealing disc golf course I have played yet.

Long and shorts, all water holes have a nice drop zone

Turf on the tee's are top notch.

Paddle boards, paddle boats, and kayaks dispersed through water holes for easy recovery

Mike, the owner is the most hardworking genuinely good guy you will run into.

If you have a really weak arm you may end up in water.

Too beautiful to leave

+Maintained perfectly. Grass is always cut, tee pads always clean
+Challenges all facets of your game
+Golf carts available but easily walkable course as well
+Very friendly and helpful staff who enjoy the game
+Multiple water holes both long and short that take play to another level
+Tee pads are artificial turf. They are grippy year round and are the best tee pads I have ever thrown from
+Chains and tee pads have solar powered lighting system for night disc
+Private property so there is no one but disc golfers there
+Rakes, canoes, etc to aid in retrieving lost plastic
+Ziplines!

-Pay to play (but you can see why)
-No drink/snack bar
-Pro shop is lacking

In my opinion this is the best course in the state of Minnesota. I haven't played many of the National Tour courses but I think this can easily rank right up there with them. Well maintained year round with a fantastic course design. Well done gentlemen.

+ Feels like a high end golf resort. (Paddleboards and kayaks with rakes for disc retrieval)
+ They will text people when they find discs in the water hazards.
+ Well maintained greens.
+ Challenging play.
+ Great course layout.
+ Practice putting green and driving range (netted).
+ Great mixture of throws needed to effectively play this course.

- $10 admission, which makes it more of a luxury play instead of a once a week trip.
- So much water...

The only thing missing is the drink/food cart driving around the course.

-Benches at every hole made out of wood and engraved with the course name and hole number on each bench.
-Garbages all over the place
-Tee pads are made out of mesh-like pad, which after throwing on them in a brisk rain, were proven extremely grippy in bad weather
-Color coded wood chip paths and greens laid all around the course, distinguishing different features of the course.
-Crazy risk-reward shots on a few holes
-awesome peninsula hole
-Great "mound shot" which features a long throw over water to about a 40 ft tall mound with a spiral walkway all the way around and a green at the top consisting of sand to help a disc land and stick on the green if you hit it. Awesome idea that I've never seen done anywhere else.
-In just the one year since this course was started, unbelievable how much work and landscaping has been put into this course.
-disc fetchers for the water all over the place, and being that you throw over plenty of water on this course, having those handy are nice.
-Can rent carts if you wish, but by no means necessary out here.

-Not a whole lot of the short, more technical holes.
-Only open to general public on the weekends
-$10 to play which isn't ridiculous considering the money put into this course. You know where you money goes

Altogether this course is taking it to another level of disc golf. Some people may feel there are "gimmicky" holes out here, and honestly I hate when people say that about a course. That gimmick typically adds to the difficulty of a hole, and if your the guy that doesn't know how to play a hole with odd basket locations, it isn't a strike on the course, it's a testament of a flaw in your game. That being said, I also agree that "gimmick" holes don't make a course cool, or fun either. However, the "gimmick" holes out here all have a great purpose and uniqueness that is not only cleverly thought out, but fun and nerve racking all at once when throwing at it. I give this course a true rating of 4.8 because I do feel that missing a true technical portion would satisfy all disc golfer thirst. No matter what, there is no way you can come out here and feel like you wasted your time. It may not be everyone's favorite course leaving, but it definitely will make several people's lists as a favorite. Go here, play it and play it several times. Its about 5 minutes from blue ribbon pines, making this area unbelievable to come and play two top courses in the world within 5 minutes of each other. I rated it as a 5 because to rate this course a 4.5 would be ridiculous whereas a 5 is much closer to a realistic rating for the course.

-The course itself is challenging and varied, yet fair and accessible. There are plenty of tunnel shots, water shots, doglegs in both directions, short technical holes, and long "air-it-out" holes...extreme elevation changes are the only thing missing, and I don't feel like I missed that at all.
-A beautiful, well-maintained piece of land. VQ is as much fun to look at as it is to play.
-Mike, the owner/designer, is a cool guy who does a fantastic job of making you feel welcome at his course
-Proximity to Blue Ribbon Pines (about 10 minutes away) should slot the whole area quite high on any disc golfer's bucket list.
-So many brilliant amenities that disc golfers aren't used to! Golf carts, zip lines, long rakes for disc retrieval in the water, kayaks to take out on the water to look for those really bad water shots...it's honestly hard to finish the round here, since I was enjoying doing all the other stuff so much.
-Other amenities include a well-stocked pro shop, plenty of benches and trash cans, and several bathrooms throughout the course.

There is literally nothing that I could possibly think of that could make this place better...and I honestly tried! One thing to point out (not really a con, just something to be aware of), is that some of the holes are specifically designed to bring new elements into disc golf, namely the raised tee pads over the water, and the zip lines. Inherently, these are things that aren't "no-brainer" safe, and it's important to keep your wits about you out here, both for your own personal safety and for the respect for other disc golfers...they might be waiting for you to finish playing around on all the fun equipment, so keep looking behind you.

I'm lucky enough to live in Colorado, where there are plenty of world-class courses...and I never even imagined I'd see a course like this! VQ truly feels like a disc golfer's playground, and Mike has plans to put even more fun options on the property. The fact that this place is so close to BRP makes the area an amazing road trip destination for some challenging and scenic disc golf.

The course is well designed, with modest elevation, but is very well wooded and technical. It may not be the most difficult I've ever faced, but it's fair and has a variety of lengths, shapes and hazards on each hole.

The landscaping is spectacular, with a mesa to mesa hole that has a zip line from tee to green. There are at least 3 man made ponds (called lakes) and one features a fountain and a tee suspended in the middle on a boardwalk.

There seems to be camping on site. The clubhouse is an old semi tractor trailer.

The benches are crafted from fine wood and if you can't see the next tee sign, the numbers are carved into the benches and almost always visible.

Tee pads were constructed from wooden frames and then covered in red or black astroturf to indicate pro or am tees.

There are a variety of other games for campers.

Three tee pads have very serious liability issues (but I'm not going to downgrade the course, and I hope they will upgrade it to fix this issue).

While it says 'no diving' it would be easy to fall off the back of the #5 tee. This notion was brought into sharp relief for me when I stepped backwards on #17 to look for a better angle for my shot and fell over 3 feet.

I sprained my arch, my left hip, my left shoulder, and suffered internal organ bruising, a whiplash and migraines. My right hand was also plunged into a deep sticker bush and cut up so severely that it was deeply infected with pustules.

Clearly, some guard rails need to be built. The email contact person did not respond when I informed him about this incident.

My injuries were ignored when I used the contact information. I did not request any compensation for such, but I found it dismissive of a serious liability and safety issue.

- Incredibly well-maintained course.
- Very long and technical course; requires hard and accurate shots off nearly every tee.
- Arroyo Vortex baskets
- Golf carts available for rent.
- Driving net near pro shop.
- Rubber teepads on every hole.
- Several zip lines, including one that goes across a pond.
- Stocked pro shop.
- Kayaks and paddle boards that can be used to retrieve floating discs.
- 10 minutes away from the best DGC in MN, Blue Ribbon Pines.

- A day pass at VisionQuest is $10, which is expensive compared to BRP's $5 day pass, but VQ offers more amenities.
- Not a lot of elevation change.
- Too many water hazards, in my opinion.
- Too many trees, IMO. It's only a year old, so I imagine they will clean up some of the fairways.
- The pro shop is an old tractor trailer. Hopefully they will build a permanent clubhouse in the future.

VisionQuest is an incredibly well-maintained and challenging disc golf course and recreation area. The owner, Mike, is very courteous and friendly to the disc golfers that use his course. He gave my friends and I free passes for the next time we come out and shared with us some of his plans for the winter. According to him, there will be plowed fairways and heated enclosed golf carts for winter golf. Although, I'm not sure how practical that would be considering how many times you'll need to open the cab and lose heat to make a throw. I will definitely try to play this course as much as possible, along with BRP. It's one of those courses that you could play every single day and not get bored of. 5/5 in my book.

Highly maintained, professionally designed 18 hole course made by discgolf lovers, for discgolf lovers. full proshop, heated golfcarts for rent. Plus ziplines, and other games and surprises. A MUST play for all level of players.

Some of the longer black diamond level teepads are not all in yet. They are coming soon.

A championship level course, that all people will enjoy. The owner says that more surprises, like more holes, a huge clubhouse, observation deck and other fun ideas are on the near horizon. Will be open all winter. check it out asap!

-Every hole is a signature hole
-Great signs on every hole with benches and trash cans
-Great turf tee pads that are great even wet
-Golf carts for rent make it very relaxed fun
-Zip lines are also availabe
-Bean bags
-lots of water on the course makes it very challenging
-lot of trees with tough lines
-Bathrooms scattered on the course

-That I have to work and can't play here constantly

The owner mike rivard is one of the nicest people around and is always improving the course.

When driving through the gate of VisionQuest, and seeing the colors and peninsulas and dock tee pads around the man made lakes, you already know it's a special place.
There are six or seven holes here that would be considered signature on great courses.
My favorite hole is #3. There is a tight straight tunnel about 100 feet in front of the tee, which opens up over a pond with the basket about 400 feet. Right on the shore, and elevated by chain to about eye level. It really makes you commit to the shot, or else lay up to the edge if you are feeling wary.
Large, turf pads which are very grippy and have a nice subtle give. Much easier on ankle and knee joints!
Water comes into play on half of the course. Really cool peninsula shots, and dock tee pads.
Zip lines are available for a small fee! Golf Carts are available for rent and use on the course!
Nice pro shop, with discs, clothing snacks and drinks.
Beautiful, mulched circles enclosed in wooden structures make up most of the putting surfaces.
A private course, that is not too busy unless there is a league or event going on.
Always evolving: this course has only been in for a year, and the owner is open to suggestions and criticism. Every time I go, there are some changes, mostly subtle, that make the course play that much better.
It's going to be fun to see this property in 5 years....
Bean Bag Board courts by the pro shop, 10 games can be going on at once.
Good tee signage.
Uses .5 pars for some holes. Example, hole 1 is a par 3.5. I didn't know what to think of this at first, but it really is an accurate assessment of the hole difficulty and seems to work.

This is a difficult course, with MANY water hazards and opportunities to lose discs. But, he hired divers a couple times this year to find them.
There are still a couple holes that don't have a clearly defined fairway yet, but are always evolving and will get there soon I'm sure. Hole 8 and hole 11 are the ones I'm thinking of.

If you have the chance to see this place, don't pass it up! This course is used in the MN Majestic, one of the largest tournaments in the Midwest. Thanks Mike for making this dreamland a reality, we all can't wait to see what you'll do next!

Good hole variety with left, right and straight shots. Good distance variations. Course OBs and water OBs are fair.

Many "signature holes".

Really friendly staff. We rented carts and that was fun. Lots of amenities.

The course lacks a little bit of elevation.

Played 3 rounds and had a lot of fun. The course is still new and I'm sure they'll make it even better.

VQ offers both challenge and extreme fun factor. The course is absolutely beautiful, like nothing I have ever seen before. The tee pads were a concern at first sight but there was no slipping on them what so ever. Every hole is clearly marked with signs and benches. There is a great mix of shots for all styles of throwing. The water shots are exquisite, to compliment other high risk reward shots out there. Next tee arrows point you in the right direction when needed to easily navigate throughout the course and OB is clearly marked. Some elevation shots including a man made huge mound with spiral walkway to the top, with sand to help the disc stick up there. The landscaping and mulched greens and trails are exceptional. I like the good mix of open and technical holes. You definitely need to be hitting on all aspects of your game to throw well. This is a VERY clean and well manicured course, which is surprising due to how new it is. I'm sure it will only get nicer in the years to come. The baskets are brand new red Mach X and catch very well. I would say it is hard to pick the signature hole out there because there are so many great ones.

Bring a lot of discs because the water will eat them. No short tees yet. Only open to the public on weekends.

Vision Quest has a lot of character that you really need to see for yourself. The pro shop had friendly people, a good selection of discs and attire. I have played some of the highest rated courses (Bucksnort, Phantom Falls, Beaver Ranch, Rollin Ridge, Blue Ribbon Pines, Flip City and all the Highbridge Hills courses) and I would have to say pound for pound this was the best one hands down.

Even driving onto the property you can tell this is a special place.
Tees: astro turf and great signs.
-best tees I have ever been on.
Great new baskets and very visible.
Layout: variety beauty and flow. No gimmick holes.
Water: what it should be, risk/reward
3 rounds: 56,56,54
Have not lost a disc in the water...

Logs surrounding greens prevented some of my approaches from getting to the chips.
Too far north for me to be a member, otherwise I would.

Owner Mike Rivard is one of the nicest and most blessed people I have met.

Where to begin. It would be difficult for me to find a negative about this place.

Shot variety is excellent. Tests your backhand and forehand and get-out-of-trouble shots.

Tee signs are wonderful and detailed.

The tee pads are as good as any I've ever played. They won't tear up your shoes because they are turf, but grip is still awesome. They look professional and uniform throughout the course. Also the drop zones have the same red turf, it looks really cool.

The course is well manicured and landscaping is great, it reminds me of Blue Ribbon Pines.

Some teepads hang over water and hole 18's tee is from the dock on the lake. Really cool features.

The ziplines are also super fun! What a blast and a creative addition to a course.

I am probably forgetting some of the little things that make this place magical, but overall it was one of the most fun rounds of disc golf I've ever played. Go to Vision Quest.

• There are 5 great holes (3, 4, 14, 15, and 18), that are challenging and a real rush. These holes all have water danger and significant risk and reward. Hole 14 is the signature hole and plays like an Island in the sky. Holes 4 & 15 are peninsulas that play like Islands. I love courses that have a respectable number of fabulous holes. These are the ones keep you talking long after the round. The owner has done a great job trying to delight the disc golfer.
• Another few holes are above average. And distances keep the average above 3.
• The Landscaping pops. It gives a great woodsy feeling, and definitely adds to what sometimes may otherwise be an ordinary pin placement
• Several unique features adds to the unconventional entertainment value of the course. Notably. Elevated baskets (9 & 10), floating tee pad (18), and Zip lines to the next hole (14 & 15). These contribute to the destination feel this course has developed.
• I have been to 1000 courses and never seen these Arroyo Vortex baskets. The interior chains are linked together a couple of times like net, which would mitigate the dreaded "spit out" in a close disc golf game. Moreover, the baskets are bright red and are topped with baskets flags, which I love for visibility and pictures.
• In summary the course length is very good. The design is an energy booster. The woods holes (6-13) are not as dramatic, but are a pleasant jaunt into nature. Thankfully all of the clearances are fair, or very well-spaced, allowing for some strong velocity above a cautious speed.
• The artificial tee pads are fairly long and we had few problems with length, which includes the additional foot for a follow through. It was still a bit wet from the morning rain, and we never slipped.

• Hole 4 is a dramatic tee pad,. Which extends out over the water, which adds to the course flair. But if you're a little uneasy with heights, you might be like me and be the one person in the party, cheating a little bit forward.
• Hole 16 is designed to have a shot dropped into a group of medium "Christmas" like trees, with the flag and hole barely visible. An improvement would be to remove at least one tree, tight as it maybe, for a flat shot to have a chance.
• The tee pad on hole 18, on a dock in the water should be longer, since it requires a good toss to clear the water and position the disc well.

• It is refreshing that there are people in the sport with the resources, ability, and commitment to quality to make courses like this available. I honestly left the course thinking, "thank God, not another course of beginner to intermediate difficulty". This course is a legitimate destination course with appreciable perks like a tent with picnic tables, disc sales, and Zip lines (with possibly more coming). In conjunction with East Bethel disc golf course nearby, these 2 courses are worthy of a destination trip.

This course has everything for a course that has only been open to the public a few times.

Immaculate landscaping
Wonderful hole design
Amazing tee-pads
Outstanding risk reward possibilities
Good use of water
Unique on so many levels
This place is a work in progress, but is already a top tier course
I have played Rollin' Ridge, Selah Ranch, Highbridge, and this place has the makings to be right up there will all of them.

A must play course and a great destination to see and hang out at anyway.

Really the only con is that we can't jump to all the plans Mike has for this place in the future. It is play ready and a blast to play already today.

If you're ever up this way on a weekend you must play here. It can be a pretty great day to play both Vision Quest and BRP for the day.
