A good "second level" course for beginners, meaning there's a decent variety of elevation/terrain. Good mix of open and tree-lined fairways. Nothing over 300+ feet (except hole 8, a challenging but cool tree-corridor shot).
Some holes make very good use of the terrain (2 through 4 in...

Does OK with what it has ...
-A good example of working with limited space, considering the park includes a pool area, playground, baseball field and tennis court -- on top of having some far-reaching paved trails. You're left with a fairly presentable course, which is a credit to the...
For those living in Minnesota/Wisconsin, which course(s) do you consider to be your "winter home?" So far, I've just been playing Acorn in Roseville, MN. I'd like to check out other 18-hole courses, but I don't want to waste my time if they're closed or hopeless to play when there's snow.

The addition of 9 extra pins last fall transformed LOM from a 2 star to a 3.5 star course (in my book, at least). The biggest difference? ELEVATION. Granted, there's only 4 holes at the end which utilize higher ground, but it's definitely a welcome change.

- Distance is what sets...

- Many of the pins are based on/around a large hill, while the remainder lie in a wooded area. This allows the course to have some variety -- including some tricky blind...

Yes, we all know about the baskets ...
- Excellent use of elevation. Fun downhill holes (Nos. 5 and, to a lesser extent, 11) and somewhat challenging uphill holes (Nos. 4 and 10).
- The open and wooded areas compliment each other well. Like Acorn, every hole has a different look and feel than...

OCILF (an Old Course I'd Like to Frolf)
- Acorn is a shooter's course. Smart design and noticeable variety make it a decent challenge for players of different skill levels. Many reviewers have criticized its "weathered" attributes. But one positive effect of age is the refined nature of most of...
