Winter Wonderland

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 5, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Only 18-holer inside the Saint Paul city limits.

Prodigy baskets in good shape.

Baskets stay up in winter (not true of all MN courses).

Free to play.

All concrete tees in good shape.

Cons:

None worth mentioning

Other Thoughts:

This is the favorite course of one of my regular discing companions. It has a reputation for getting a bit crowded in the summer particularly on weekends. I played it on a weekday with 1" of snow on the ground and found it to be nearly a ghost town with the exception of a few dog walkers and one other player about 4 holes in ahead of me on the back nine who was carrying a shovel and cleaning off the tees. Thanks a million, Anonymous Dude.

The underlying property sits about halfway between an open park course and a woods course, with trees in play on every hole, but no overly pinched tunnels. The front nine plays on the south side of the access road, and the back on the north. UDisc offers a "Winter Layout", which is just the back nine, but all 18 holes are potentially playable year round. Interestingly, the concrete tees on the front nine are larger (approx. 8' x 12') rectangles, while the back nine tees are keystones significantly diminished in both dimensions. Apparently the aforementioned Anonymous Dude skipped the front nine, but traction was reasonable even with 1" of snow, and, as a bonus, someone left a self-service shovel hanging from a branch next to the 5th tee.

You don't need to be a bomber to play Highland Park, but it's no pitch and putt ace runner either. My favorite two holes were #3, a poker straight downhill tunnel losing about 25 feet of elevation, and it's opposite, #5, which is both shorter and wider, but marches you back up the same slope, requiring a somewhat technical steeply inclined drive. The staircase on #5 is much appreciated.

I could see myself playing a lot here if it were a little closer to home. Being the only 18-holer in Saint Paul, it claims the "best of" in that category by default, but I think that it is really just about everything that you would hope an urban park course would be.

Favorite Casual Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 30, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Wide variety of holes, with a substantially different front and back 9. Front is more technical, back is longer and more traditional
-Compact design allows for quick rounds, if there's no crowd
-For novices, a great bridge between beginner 9-hole courses and tougher, longer courses
-Cement teeboxes on every hole, baskets are nice as well

Cons:

-7's teebox isn't in a great spot, can get a bit dangerous if not paying attention
-Lack of good signage and trash cans (in the woods)
-Can get very busy at times, and there can be a substantial backup on 3 due to people losing discs in the woods (I've done this)

Other Thoughts:

It's my group's default course if we just feel like playing a round.

Much more fun after the redesign! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 2, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Decent mix of shots.-Great for beginners and advanced players who are looking to work on their short/mid games.-Located in a beautiful park.

Cons:

A few of the pin locations are located pretty close to tee pads so keep your eyes open out there, and be sure to let people clear off the tees before you throw on those holes and always yell 'fore' when throws are tracking towards other players.

Other Thoughts:

I had a great time out here. There's nothing too long so if you're looking to throw 350+ foot holes, this isn't the course for you but it's still a great track to practice the short game and hunt that perfect round.

Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Inside the city limits.

Cons:

Fairways, tee pads, and pins way too close together. Forced to walk across fairways multiple times to get to tees. One tee pad is probably 60-75 feet away from a pin.

Other Thoughts:

If you go to this course don't go at peaks times unless you are wearing a helmet.

Breathe the free air 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I played here last year when it was 9 holes - the additional 9 holes make it definitely worth your time if you are visiting St. Paul, which I do often for work and to see family. TCDGFAN's review does a great job of highlighting the major pros and cons.

My favorite aspect of Highland Park is that it doesn't chew me up and spit me out like a lot of other TC disc golf courses. I'm an intermediate player, and will never throw 400', and keeping my drives off trees in heavily wooded courses is a problem.

Most of the new holes are either wooded tunnels, or in the open but with many mature trees. But they are short and so you can save par even on an errant tee shot. They also are either up or down hill. They also have excellent new Prodigy baskets.

If you like to enjoy a round, and score near par, this is a course for you, especially if Kaposia and company kick yer butt.

Cons:

The layout I played may have been temporary, and I hope so. There some really wonky walkabouts from hole to hole, and some holes are total dead-ends, forcing you to backtrack 100%. Some also require you to cross fairways to the next tee. On a busy day that would be interesting....

Also, they have astroturf teepads in the new wooded holes, and they are completely covered in dirt and have offer very poor footing

Other Thoughts:

St. Paul has an 18 hole course with potential. I'd like to see them shuffle the direction of a few hole to improve flow, but it has promise and potential.
BTW, I also saw a flock of wild turkeys during my round. :)

Temporary 18 doubles the fun! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. Free
2. Now one of the few 18 hole courses in the immediate St. Paul area.
3. Very clean and well kept, rough is very forgiving
4. Easy enough for beginners but some interesting shots for int/adv
5. Generally easy to follow.
6. Concrete tee pads and good baskets, especially on the new 1st 9
7. Hard to lose a disc

Cons:

1. No water or big elevation shots
2. Mostly shorter holes
3. Shared park and some close fairways to tees but generally the design was laid out well enough to avoid any issues
4. Not the most exciting course

Other Thoughts:

Which way do we go George? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 7, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is usually the course I bring new players to which should tell you how easy it is. That is not to say that it's not a bit of a challenge from time to time (depending on where that rogue disc lands). There is some length to a few of the holes so if you're playing from the longs makes that par a bit more difficult to get.

Multi-tee course so depending on the skill level of the group you have options.

Cons:

No signage or directional markers. If you don't know where you're going you'll get confused easily.

There are a couple of holes where the folks on the tee pad are firing into your path but if everyone is paying attention it's not that big of a problem.

Other Thoughts:

They are totally missing an opportunity to add some holes to this course.

There is space to add up to 5 maybe 6 holes at least here. I've even contacted the builders and offered to do the work myself, but to no avail.

Not too shabby, pretty typical. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 11, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Some big trees provide the need for some skill shots while having some wide open shots as well. If you are pretty new to the sport or very casually playing, there aren't any super long holes, so even newer players can come up with birdies. Its right in St. Paul so very close for a lot of people. This is always appealing and can facilitate some good growth in the sport. Concrete tee pads are a HUGE plus.

Cons:

There really aren't any long throws. Just a personal preference of mine. The pads are concrete, but they are very small. There is also no signage, so if you've never been, you will probably have a little bit of a hard time the first time around. You also throw over or very close to a street and sidewalk on hole 4. Made me a little anxious.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, not a bad experience for me the first time out. I aced hole 4 so I am a little biased. I wouldn't go here regularly to get my serious disc golf fix in, but it is nice to have some other places to mx it up sometimes.

Nicely Extended for the NSG 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 11, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

***Important: this review is based on having just played the Highland "Extended" 18 hole course set up for the National Senior Games on 7/11/15***

The Highland Park disc golf course (not to be confused with Hyland, also in the Twin Cities) boasts large, level, concrete tee pads on every one of its nine holes (numbers 4, 5, 6 & 8 with multiple tees), and quality DGA baskets (multiple positions on holes 1, 3, 5 & 7). It plays through a well-maintained, and low undergrowth park, using mature trees and slightly rolling elevation to pose a decent challenge for Recreational players. The permanent holes range from 173 to 402 feet in length, and require control on holes 4 (do NOT get to the right, where the steep, wooded slope, and sometimes wet conditions will ruin your day), 5 (tourney 9: left to right with some ceiling to play through), and 8 (tourney 12: don't confuse the basket out in line with the tee: your target is around left, by the HUGE tree, roadside).

The added holes (three on the other side of Edgcumbe Road, an island hole in the driveway turnaround by the shelter, two below that lot, and two out past the playground) were cleverly set up to challenge Advanced Grandmasters, yet playable from modified, shorter tees, for a couple of more 'experienced' players in their 80's.

The disc golf community is clearly supportive and broad-based, as they were able to provide a mix of donated temporary baskets from a Prodigy to a Mach X, and everything in between. There were young folks helping out with spotting for our event, which suggests that the Minneapolis - St Paul - Bloomington (etc.) clubs are there to help and would be a good place for visitors to touch base.

Cons:

The fact that it's only nine holes, and the lack of big distance (or, on the flip side, even tight lines) probably deters Intermediate, Advanced and Open players from playing here too often. As it is, I doubt folks find too much of a thrill in re-playing it. If it were expanded to something like the 18 we played, that would be a really different story. I'm told that the low area after hole four can really stay muddy. It's apparently a little difficult to determine the tee area (along the walking path) for hole 9 (tourney 13). And I was a little concerned that the long basket on hole 7 (tourney 11) plays so close to the long tee on 5 (9).

Other Thoughts:

As far as nine hole courses go, Highland is better than average, and the hosts and the park did a great job of getting 90% of it really well mown and freshly mulched for the big event (odd that our 17th fairway and 18th basket was in the leftover tall stuff, but I still appreciated all the rest of the effort. Historically, it was neat to see the old pool building and pump house (built by the WPA during the Great Depression) are still features of the park. One of the local players noted how cool it would be if the pool building could be remade into a 'clubhouse' for the course!

A fun, popular little coarse. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well groomed park.
Fine tee pads and baskets.
Friendly locals, casual crowd.
2 miles from my Aunts house.

Cons:

No tee signs,
It's a newbie crowd so sometimes they are in weird places not paying attention, so look twice.
Can get crowded quickly.

Other Thoughts:

This was my daily player while visiting my wife's Aunt in St. Paul. To that end it preforms perfectly.
It plays quickly if the traffic is light. I mostly played it on weekday mornings in the summer, not too bad. I will play this coarse every time I am in town.

Nothing Special 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 7, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-This course has wide-open fairways and no underbrush to speak of. No lost discs!

-Well worn paths lead you to the next tee immediately (except for 9).

-More than just a pitch and putt. Some holes require a big arm, or a good approach game.

-Great grass all over the course. Well mowed with no rough to speak of. This allows for nice casual barefoot rounds, which I really enjoy on a nice summer day.

-The WPA building is a pretty cool course feature.

-Nice trapezodial teepads. Run-ups aren't really necessary, but some players might find them a bit short.

-The people playing here are pretty friendly. Not the greatest players, but I've never seen a roaming pack of 6 players that slow the whole round down.

-#4 is a fun little hole. It's a short hole, but there is a large drop-off immediately to the right of the basket. It makes you think about your shot, which doesn't happen often at this course.

-This is a great course to take a beginner to. It's easy enough for learning, a beautiful city park, and you can't lose discs.

-Decent baskets

Cons:

-Wide-open fairways mean little to no shot shaping is required.

-CAUTION: There must be a hornets nest in the trees on the walk from five to six. I nearly got swarmed.

-I still haven't found #9's teepad, but I usually just tee from the walking path.

-#8 can be a bit confusing at first. You can easily think that you are shooting straight ahead at #9's basket. Just remember that 8 is the long hole that follows the road turning left.

-No trash cans on any holes, but the litter wasn't too bad so it's not a big deal.

Other Thoughts:

The wide-open nature of this course allows for a great opportunity to learn a disc. If a have a new disc, I often come here to learn how it flies. Much more entertaining than field practice.

This is a great course to go to if you don't have 2 hours to play a round, but it doesn't offer much for repeat players. I've only played here 3 or 4 times, but I feel like thats all I need to play here before I get totally bored with it.

Good but unspectacular 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 7, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

If played as an all par 3 it is a decent length, fairways are well kept, nice bathrooms on site. A quick play for those in search of a faster round.

Cons:

Extremely busy, cement tee off locations seemed to be a little bit shorter than usual, no signage.

Other Thoughts:

The course was pretty well maintained. Some more experienced players would think that it's too short, but for the casual player it's okay. There is a section of woods that really only comes into play for one hole; this is a wasted opportunity to add some new elements and difficulty to the course. The tee off for hole 9 can be difficult to find as it is a painted (and badly faded) line on a pedestrian walkway, I would've never found it if I wasn't golfing with somebody who had been there before.

UPDATE: This erosion at this course around the tee pads and baskets has become quite bad. Avoid this course during the spring thaw or after rains as these areas of the course essentially become giant swamps. Several baskets will puddle up to the point where you can't finish the hole unless you're willing to get your feet wet up past your ankles. This significant problem forces me to knock the course rating down from a 3.0 to 2.5. Once this is fixed I will feel comfortable moving my rating back up to 3.0.

Nice Recreational Nine Holer! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 15, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Highland Park plays in what seems to be a pretty much disc golf exclusive area of a large metro park. It's an excellent piece of land for a course with wide open expanses of rolling hills and mature trees. There are no signs but it was easy to navigate by just following the baskets to teepads. The baskets are DGA with the red numbers on top. That helped with the navigation. The pads are the large trapazoid shaped concrete ones. I like the # 4 hole the best, it's about 200' from the longs to a basket close to a fairly deep gorge to the right of the basket. Don't want to go right on this hole. This is a great little recreational course. Intermediate players should score well here but they might eventually get a little bored.
I like the old WPA building from 30's. Adds a bit of charactor to the park. I hope they can find a suitable use for it someday.

Cons:

Lack of challenge for players intermediate and above. Other than that, this is just your basic little metro rec course. Enjoy it for what it is. I'd like to see add some very simple vandal proof signs or at least write some numbers on the pads.

Other Thoughts:

I'm sure this course gets busy but isn't that what we're all about, promoting this game??? This is just an excellent place to introduce someone to our sport or bring your girlfriend for an enjoyable little throw. It's the perfect course for that quick little 30 minute round before work or when you're in a hurry.

I had a guy and his son stop and park his classic 1955 Chevy on the busy street next to the # 2 teepad and come over and ask me about the game. He and his son ended up throwing a few of my discs and vowing to buy some of their own and get started. I like it when the disc golf courses are visible from streets-more publicity for what we're doing out there.

Nice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 15, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Almost all terrain is grassy so it's hard to lose discs. If you throw your disc in a tree, grab one of the big fallen branches from the creek to knock it out.
-It's pretty balanced in terms of handedness advantage

Cons:

-Highland get's very crowded in the summer, especially on the weekends or after work. People tend to be pretty considerate of singletons though.

Other Thoughts:

-It's my "home" course and I've probably played it over 100 times. Definitely not the hardest course, but you're close to Kaposia, Acorn, etc. There are still a few good challenges though. I've never birdied #8. I've seen very few righties who can consistently stick their drive on #5 to set up a birdy. The wall of trees forces a sharp right at the end so you either have to throw forehand with accuracy or a turnover backhand. At the same time, there are a lot of holes where you just have to throw a nice straight 250ft drive. So overall, a lot of opportunities to practice your fundamentals.
-On #8, the sign no longer exists, but the street is OB.
-You can expand #1 by driving from up near the little building where the bathrooms are.

Open park, old school course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 21, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Holes are just long enough for the average player to really make you work for your birdies. It takes a really good drive on most holes to get close enough to birdie.

2) Nice big grippy concrete teepads and are generally shovelled in winter.

3) Nice DGA baskets in very good shape especially considering the location of this course set in the heart of the metro area. I think my friend actually swung a deal to get one of the old baskets. I noticed it in his yard last year when I visited and I am pretty sure he said it was one of the old baskets from Highland.

4) Terrain is pretty nice in that it is gently rolling hills however they don't use the big elevation changes at all (and #1 is by far the hole with the biggest change from tee to basket, maybe 10-15' vertical).

5) Someone else said it in their review, and truthfully I thought I might be the first to mention it . . . but I love it when city parks leave those old building up. There is some mystique that goes with those buildings and the past stories they have been involved in. I can only imagine what happened inside of that old building back in the day. I just like to see those buildings maintained and left on site, maybe someday it could become a disc golf store!

6) Course is fairly isolated from any other activity areas which is nice. No worries about slamming a disc right into someone, except where #9 is someone who launches one that hyzers out badly could end up over near the pavilion.

7) Beginner friendly. This is a straight out course with minimal obstacles and perfect for a beginner to come out and learn the game.

Cons:

1) Because of location I can assume this course will be full all of the time. I played in winter and noone else was there, but it is in the heart of the metro area (probably closer to downtown St. Paul than any other course). This could all lead to slow rounds (again just an assumption from what other people have said and the location).

2) Map at the kiosk is a map of the whole park and all it says is "9 hole disc golf course". You would think that after 21 years in existence it would be nice to have a map of the layout of the holes, especially because I did not see any teesigns or posts or anything directing people through the course. As a traveller it might be hard to find the first tee, and the second tee is hidden behind some trees (and when I played it had also been plowed under with snow from the road). Fortunately, I had some previous tracks to follow.

3) The layout didn't use some of the best property into the design. Not sure if some of this was by direction of the city to leave the wooded areas alone, or if the designer just bypassed those areas. Since the entire course is virtually open park space with some spotty trees, some variety would have been nice.

4) #4 is one of the best 2 holes on the course in terms of challenge. It is fairly long and narrow (with the road) creeping into play ont he left. It will take a good straight shot with no skip to keep it straight at the basket. Plus if you get near the basket you have to worry about a gentle kiss off the basket or a tree that shoots you down the massive gulley on the right of the basket. A lefty drive will also risk going down the hill. There also is one side (left from the tee) that is virtually blocked by a half dozen branches from the boxelder and other trees that hang right over the basket. If you are 10' away from the basket you would think it is a guaranteed birdie, just don't throw over on the left side!

5) Sign would be helpful directing you to the next hole. #1 o #2 tee, #4 to #5 tee, and a sign that clearly stated where #8 basket was. I accidentally threw at the 9th basket because it was closer to the tee than the real 8th basket. I figured the 9th tee was just off to the side ad when I got up there I realized I had just thrown to the 9th basket instead of the 8th (further up and to the left in the corner of the property).

6) A few of the baskets (or more specifically the # plate) was facing the wrong direction. This can lead to some flow confusion when looking for the next tee and also the 8th/9th basket confuion I experienced. I know this will only be a problem once for each individual, but if you get behind people that dont know where they are going it can create a mess for everyone on the course at that time!

Other Thoughts:

All in all this course is just plain. Nothing too exciting, nothing too challenging, just a nicely maintained open feel park with a selection of trees. The trees that are incorporated intot he holes do provide some obstacles and shot selection needs to be decided, but all in all there just isn't enough challenge here for me to love this course, especially considering that some of the best land for disc golf wasn't even used (for whatever reason).

For my Milwaukee readers, I would compare this course to Dineen (but much shorter). It is mostly open, some spotty trees, but just not a lot of challenge. No real hole stands out as a great hole (except maybe 5 because it is the most protected basket). 4 isn't bad because of the location of the basket but there are other issues with #4 as mentioned above.

This is just simply an average course. It has some of the amenities I come to appreciate like the teepads and nice baskets. It seems to be well manicured and taken care of and it even has a soda machine for your beverage of choice. The course doesn't present enough challenge, but it still could be a good course to bring new people. In general it flows pretty well (although signs for first timers would be nice for direction to the next tee. No teesigns or posts marking the next tee. I can't say anymore, it is just an average course.

WARNING: Please keep in mind I played this in winter. If anything I have stated is incorrect depending on season please let me know I can edit the review. I think I was accurate in my assumptions in a few places. I also cannot see the turf in the park or erosion/compaction issues because it is under 6 inches of snow, so if there are maintenance issues that I didnt comment on pleas emakeme aware of them so I can edit the review.

-Good chance for aces and deuces
-Nice tees and baskets.
-Easy to follow layout
-Locals are nice enough with the exception of a gang of 15 year olds hitting large sticks on trees and pulling down tree branches
-Clean and well kept, nice to look at
-Is fun for an advanced player trying to shoot a low score and is very fun for beginners because it is the appropriate amount of challenge
-Good place to teach new people the game
-Good parking and easy to find
-Very little chance to lose a disc
-A round can be played in 20-25 min if there is little traffic

Cons:

-Tees could be labeled and distances would be nice too but its short enough that it doesn't matter a ton.
-Woods between 4 and 5 should be used for a few holes. Would make course more interesting.
-Not too challenging, little trees or elevation changes.
-Not a lot of distance.

Other Thoughts:

Could (and should) be expanded into the area east of the disc course. Its a nice nine holer but with some holes in the woods between 4 and 5 and in that area mentioned above could be a nicer 12 or 18 holer!

Overall it is a nice course and I would recommend a quick round or two if you're in the area.
