5 Stars...for a pitch and putt. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 6, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1) The use of the land available is simply amazing. The plot is small, by far the smallest piece of land I've ever seen a course on, but the designer did probably as good as they could with with what's here.

2) Carrying on from the previous point, the layout is mostly pretty good. There's some iffy holes (mentioned in the cons), some good ones, and a couple really good (bordering on great) ones. Here's a couple highlights. 5 is one of the longer holes on the course and plays best for a LHBH/RHFH turnover. It's completely blind off the tee and basket sits out in the open about 10-15ft off of the fence line at the edge of the park. Getting around the corner while still keeping it pushed far enough right to get into the circle is the challenge here. Hole 7 is my personal favorite on the course, though 5 is close. It's about the same distance as 5 but pretty steep downhill. There is a very tight gap at around circles edge that will shut down any shots that aren't fully committed to the line, kicks can be brutal depending where they go. There is a safe layup option, but it almost completely takes birdie out of play. Rough is and the OB fence line are close behind and ready to punish anything coming in too hot. Hole 3 plays like a mini (and downhill) version of hole 4 at BRP. OB is close behind once again. Hole 4 is a tight, slightly right to left shot. Very easy birdie if you hit the line, but still tough to save par if you hit early.

3) Variation in the layout is good as well. Tunnel shots, open shots, forehand and backhand shots (despite most holes being right to left); most of it is here. Despite how short the course is having both a forehand and a backhand will be useful, though not a necessity.

4) The greens are generally quite protected with many trees close by, but unless you find yourself in a place you shouldn't be anyway it never feels too unfair.

5) Tees are great. Grippy, concrete, in great shape, and more than large enough. They're almost too big with how short most of the holes are. The only iffy pad is 3, which is different from the other 8. It's a little smaller (though still plenty large) and points almost directly into the woods instead of down the fairway.

6) Tee signs are nice and rustic feeling. They are updated from when the course photos were taken. Most holes have wooden signs with basic hole maps (hole shape and foliage) and distances painted(?) on them. Distances do differ from what is currently in the 'hole info' tab on some holes, but I didn't mark down what the new signs say. Will try to remember to do so if I'm at the course again soon.

7) The park has plenty of amenities; specifically a port-a-potty is always a plus. Though, I didn't use it so I have no input on whether it's emptied/cleaned on a regular basis.

Cons:

1) I'll get the obvious out of the way first. It's very short. It's almost funny at times. Hole 2 and 8 are just straight shots barely 150ft at most and almost nothing in the way of obstacles until you are right next to the baskets. Not terrible holes, but you're always going to be at least a little bit upset with par. Hole 4 is also bordering on 'too short' but it's tight enough to stay interesting. Hole 6 is the worst hole on the course for me. Unbelievably short and the ground is littered with old tree stumps just waiting to flip a park job on edge and roll into jail on the left. The only thing hole 6 has going for it is that it's not flat. Though, this shortness is just the nature of the plot of land and there's not really anything they can do to mitigate this. Again, like I mentioned above, what they've done with the tiny space they have is nothing short of amazing.

2) A couple holes are very close together/to other park activities. A shank on hole 2 could easily find it's way onto the basketball court, there is a walking path running through a couple holes (though it's not super heavily used), and hole 1 plays along side a combination baseball field/soccer pitch. In most cases these won't cause issues, but it's worth mentioning.

3) Continuing from before, holes are pretty cramped as well. Holes 1 and 8 are separated from the rest of the holes but the rest of them are nearly on top of each other. Hole 2s basket is maybe 15 feet from 3s fairway. Hole 5s tee is definitely in the danger zone from tee shots on 4. Hole 6s tee isn't too bad, but still in play from tee shots on 5 and 7. Hole 6s basket is in play from 9s tee shot (and vice versa). Lastly, holes 7 and 9 have crossing fairways. This course seems like it does get fairly busy and I can see some gnarly backups forming from all these hole interactions, though it wasn't too bad when I played despite a steady flow of players.

4) Just one design quirk that shouldn't exist; the basket placement on hole 1 is a bit silly. It's tucked just past the edge of the fence line, maybe 10 feet past and 5 feet left of it. This can lead to drives 15 feet out that just have absolutely no real look to putt. There's plenty of space behind and left of the basket that would give a couple nice guardian trees and a generally less frustrating green area and I think would make the hole much nicer to play.

5) The buckthorn is completely taking over the course in a couple places. Hole 4, specifically, clearly used to have a left gap, but its been completely overtaken by buckthorn and it's almost a complete non-option to go that way. Buckthorn can be a real pain to deal with since it's so invasive, but the city/county could clear out the fairways and the edges of the rough around this course with less than a single day of work with how little space it takes up. Not much more than a couple of hours a year taking down re-growth could prevent it from getting out of hand again.

6) Minor, but old school DGA Mach 2s. They work fine, but they are old school DGA baskets so you will get the usual dead center spit outs and cut throughs. Though, they do have nice big number plates on them, so you won't ramp off the top of them if you miss high.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, for what this course is it's surprisingly good. It's short, quite technical, and great fun. I got into a groove and pumped out 7 ~20 minutes rounds in a row my first time here just before this review and would have kept going if it didn't get dark. Every hole is birdie or die but most of them will punish you enough for being off just a little bit to make saving birdie tough. A couple of them (hole 5 specifically) will almost immediately send you to bogey-ville with a bad kick. Shooting -9 should be in play for a lot of people, even sub 900 rated players if they get on fire. For reference I'm currently 916 rated and shot two -7s with some small mistakes. Perfect pitch and putt golf, but it's still pitch and putt golf. I am very close to rating the course a 2.5 due to very high fun factor, but I realize that is extremely subjective. So, due to the extreme short length and only being 9 holes I'm going to keep it at a 2.0. If you are within 30-45 minutes of this course and in the mood for some good pitch and putt golf I highly recommended making a trip out here. If you are driving though the area and have a little bit of time to kill, you should definitely make the stop here over any of the other courses in the Stillwater area.

Neat little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 3, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Cute little course that makes good use of the multi-use park without being "in the way".

Solid tees and great baskets. Course is kept up well.

Cons:

Lots of woods and muddy when there's been any rain.

Lots of up hill just to go back down hill...to go back up again.

Other Thoughts:

Not the most challenging of course but it's fun to play. My kids like it and we have fun playing it.

Awesome design for space available 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is set up in a multi use park but does an excellent job of staying away from most other park activities. The baskets are Mach 2's that were all in solid shape and caught very nicely. There were concrete tees on every hole. These were all decently sized, gripped fine and got the job done. I really loved the design of the holes on the small parcel of land here. There was up and downhill and left and right turning shots required. the flow of the course was very easy to follow too. they had benches by almost every hole and a plenty big enough parking lot. the course is free to play and open all year. All of which are pros in my book.

Cons:

The distances are all very similar. Similar as in short. This makes scoring well here pretty easy for most. A few of the fairways are pretty close together so it could get a bit sketchy if it was real busy. only one pin placement per hole, though not really a con for such a short, mostly tightly wooded course since the initial design is very, very solid already.

Other Thoughts:

This was a really fun course to be honest. It wasn't a challenge by any means, but really fun. Especially if you played 10 courses the prior two days. This was a good warm up course. Or it would be a great place to try for your first ace. Not worth going out of your way to play, but a fun quick round if nearby for sure. I gave this a 3 because I feel that this is better than the 2.76 rating here and better than decent/typical courses I've played, almost all of which are in WI. I'd be ecstatic to have this place near my house.

Good Starter Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 28, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1) It is easy to find your way from tee box to tee box.

2) Great course for introducing someone to disc golf.

3) Usually takes less than 45 mins to complete.

4)Tee boxes are concrete.

5) This course is kept in very good condition.

Cons:

1) Holes are short. Most are around 200 ft. - 250 ft. with the shortest being about 160 ft.

2)Younger kids play around in the woods sometimes, so you need to keep an eye out for them.

3) This course is pretty popular in Stillwater, so be ready to run into a few players.

Other Thoughts:

Over all this is a pretty decent course.
This course is relatively busy, with most of the people playing being from the surrounding High Schools.
It's a good practice course if you are just beginning.
It's very close if you live in the Stillwater area.
If you are in the area definitely swing by and give it a play.

Merely average, too short 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 10, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Good wooded holes
-Benches at mostly every hole
-Baskets in good shape
-Ample parking
-Other park facilities on site
-Good use of what elevation changes are available
-Good, long cement tee pads

Cons:

-Most holes require the same type of shot (fade to left at the end)
-Only shorter course I've played is Wabun Picnic Area, this course is incredibly short
-Erosion will become a problem soon
-Most tee signs are missing

Other Thoughts:

I wanted to like this course more than I did because it has some nice wooded holes that force you to make accurate throws. That being said, the course is just too short for it to really matter. You can make a terrible tee shot and still have a relatively easy time getting to the basket for a 3. The course is so short that you will not need any disc other than your putter. Don't get me wrong, the course isn't bad as there aren't a lot of courses in the area and it is at least a little different than a lot of the short suburban courses; but it's not a course I would go to more than a handful of times.
The park itself is decent; there's some other facilities on site and ample parking. There is a bench at the tee pad for every hole and also a post for a sign. I recall only seeing two signs up, the rest were missing. I don't know if this was due to vandalism or they simply weren't up; but either way it's not terribly important. You can easily see every basket from the tee so there shouldn't be any questions as to where you need to throw. There are no signs dictating where the next hole is but it was easy enough to follow the trodden path to the next hole. The baskets themselves were in decent enough shape, none were showing excessive wear and tear. There was some garbage strewn about on the course, but it wasn't excessive by any means. I've seen much worse. There were some teenagers (the types that have a tendency to vandalize and otherwise ruin a course) hanging around, but it didn't seem to be a problem there so I guess they don't follow the stereotype. Always a positive.
The holes themselves mostly fade to the left at the end, so it's an easy fit for most throwers. This is a good course to practice some of your shorter, more accuracy driven approach shots; although you'll be doing it from the tee pads because of the shortness of the course. If you're looking for more variety of shots required I'd find a different course as you'll find yourself needing nothing but a normal RHBH throw. The teepads are in very good shape, they are nice level cement pads with more than enough length. There is a little bit of erosion here and there on the course but nothing that is out of control...yet. Some work will have to be done eventually to keep it from becoming bad, but it's not at that point yet. There is a little bit of elevation change that is utilized on several of the holes to add some variety. There are a couple of holes that are a bit close together which could become a safety issue if the course is busy. All in all, this was a very average course that makes good use of the very minimal space devoted to it.

Shorter than a kneeling midget 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 5, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Very nice tee pads and baskets. +1 star each. Very cool pine smell as you walk through the pine forest. +1 star. Nice use of elevation, and very tight lines. +1 star.

Cons:

Shorter than a kneeling midget, seriously only 1 hole is over 200' long (and I think it clocks in at a solid 210'). -1 star. Tee signs are there on most holes, but have been knocked down. Some of the teepads put you in the line of fire on the next hole. -1 star.

Other Thoughts:

Not a terrible course for putter work. Couple left turns, couple right turns. Nothing long, nothing really special. Not worth a long drive to play, but if you are in the area, and want to play a putter only round it will give you something to do.

Short but fun 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice baskets with blue paint on them. Gives this course its own feel.
-Good signage on the holes that haven't been vandalized.
-Lots of trees for a challenge but there are always a lane or two to throw down. The trees are mature and they look good. The course is aesthetically pleasing.
-Benches on a few holes but you really shouldn't need a break, this course is short
-Lots of other stuff to do at the park.
-Solid parking lot
-Many ace and birdie ops
-A decent mix of shots needed. Like I said it is fairly wooded so you don't always get to choose what you are going to throw. The lanes may force a shot or two.
-A good intermediate course. It is a pretty easy course but the trees might make it frustrating for the beginners. This would be a good course to learn precision though.
-I thought the basket placement one hole one was a little annoying. I don't like the use of fences as an obstacle.

Cons:

-Some signs missing most likely due to vandalism
-Have to watch out for other park users, especially the bike/walking path that crosses a few holes
-This course is short. As long as you hit the right line you should be able to drive every hole. Hole 5 might be the exception.
-Could be very busy and this is also causing erosion on parts of the course
-Could be buggy, not when I went but other reviews mention it.

Other Thoughts:

Other than this course being very short, I loved it. Even the shortness didn't bother me. I would rather have a course be too short than too long. This gives you much excitement as you aim for aces and putt for birdies. I thought this course was fun and pretty well kept overall. They could use some erosion control and new signs on the missing ones. I would recommend this course if you are in the area but it's not really a destination course.

Nice but small 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good use of available space
- Variety of cover
- Fast course
- Course flow is good for the most part
- Most holes have signs
- Low traffic

Cons:

- Vandalism
- Very very short
- Aging course
- You WILL hit trees

Other Thoughts:

For a park this size, this is a great course. Especially considering there is a playground, pavillion, basketball court, baseball and soccer fields and an ice rink also located in Brekke. When entering the parking lot the first hole is on the right side, the last hole ends on the left side.

Hole #1
I don't like the basket placement. It is right behind a chain fence, if it were moved 10 feet back it would be fine.

Hole #2
Anhyzer is the best shot here, but there might be people in the way if they are playing basketball.

Hole #3
Long and narrow fairway lined by tall pines. No matter what tree you hit though this is easily a 2 par hole.

Hole #4
Anhyzer shot works perfect, you will need to thread the needle if you want to throw a hyzer. Cinderblocks and boards are used to make a few benches at this hole. Sign mising

Hole #5
This is probably the longest shot, and it's angled so you will not be very likely to land very close to the basket. A nice change from the other holes.

Hole #6
This is a really dinky hole. Short and uphill, there are tree stumps everywhere. This is probably the worst hole.

Hole #7
Basket is near the tee for hole 6 so don't peg anyone. Tucked behind woods nicely, hard to get a shot through.

Hole #8
This is on the edge and you have the road behind you. Another really short hole. Straight forward shot will get you there, although there are a few trees blocking the way.

Hole #9
Only break-down of the flow, it is further away from the rest of the holes. There are pretty worn paths between the holes but still could use a next tee sign. Short hole with some tree cover. Scored my first ace on this hole!

I would've rated this a 2.5 if I hadn't gotten my first ace here I think. It is a nice place to improve your short game. As always, make it a stop if you're around but don't drive out of the way for it.

I'm a Brekke . . . Live Long and Propser 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 11, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) DGA Signs do the job for the most part on this self explanatory short course. Hole #, distance, par, and the obstacles are shown.

2) Rules sign at the first tee is always good to see.

3) Mach baskets with the number plate facing the tees. The basket itself is painted blue for some reason (not sure if it helps visibility or not, just worth noting).

4) There are benches in a few spots and garbage cans along the way.

5) This is a really quick play . . . I played all 9 in 19 minutes.

6) Moderate elevation changes on a couple holes.

7) #3 is like a mini (recreational)
version of Blue Ribbon Pines #4.

8) Very nice trees on this course ranging from some hardwoods to very mature Pine trees that factor in your shot making.

9) The park has plenty of amenities including a portopotty, hockey rinks, baseball, soccer, a pavilion, etc.

10) Beginner friendly course that still challenges first timers. The woods are some tough shots, but short enough beginners can recover from an errant shot.

11) #9 has the biggest directional sign I have ever seen making sure you don't miss your next tee. It makes the awkward walk to the tee more enjoyable.

Cons:

1) The course does not see much distance variation, with holes in the 120-240' range. Those are all mid-range shots for anyone with experience in the game.

2) Wood framed gravel tee-boxes are better than turf but still not equal to concrete.

3) There are a couple places where an errant disc might be dangerous for someone else on another hole. Hole #2 also might be dangerous for other park users depending on the time of year (hockey or basketball areas). Hole #1 might also require a shot over the corner of a soccer field. A turned over disc might go into one of the nets!

4) I generally just don't like unnatural obstacles and the fence along #1 is not my favorite . . . but it does do the job of forcing a particular shot. It is worse because it makes the basket completely blind. I just threw to the end of the fence with a hyzer and parked it (blindly).

5) Not enough variety in shot shaping here, it is generally the hyzer shot.

Other Thoughts:

All in all I enjoyed this course and if I didn't already have plans on a bunch more courses during the day I would have played another couple rounds because it takes a little getting used to each hole here and I bet the scores can go way down.

It isn't the most glamorous, or the most challenging, but there are a lot of fun holes to throw out here. Truthfully even though they are short, there isn't a weak hole out here in my opinion. They all have something different about them and challenge you to execute your shot. Because it is almost always a mid-range there isn't much chance you will be hurt by going for the basket. You really should always be able to recover for a 3 . . . almost always!

It was the perfect way for me to warmup before going to a few more courses on the day. Very enjoyable even though it is short.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 13, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

--Good Layout--You generally know where to go for the next tee. Only #9 is a bit of a walk, but it has a sign.

--They make do with what they have. The course is shoehorned into a small park, but they still have good variety of shots.

--Baskets are well protected by trees, I think only #2 and #8 are the only ones with open ace runs.

--Baskets are nice and in good condition.

--Plenty of trees to work around, have to shape your shots.

--Hardly any underbrush, so you can spot your disc easily if it goes off the trail

--Can play very quickly.

--Hole 3 reminds me of BRP number 4, a hallway shot through pines. This one is more forgiving though. :)

--Good use of the elevation.

--Great chances for aces on almost every hole.

Cons:

--Short. I only used a midrange once the whole course.

--Hole 4 is frustrating. No lines to the basket, you just throw and hope the disc somehow makes it through all the trees. Hole 7 is similar.

--Teeboxes are wood rectangles with dirt filling them in. Not a big deal, but the teeboxes hold water and get muddy. They also aren't very big, but you don't need a run up on this course.

--Poison Ivy--I got a little bit while I was there, I think in between holes 3 and 4.

--9 very short holes get old pretty fast. I was bored after 4 quick rounds, and I don't think I'll be going back soon.

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad little course considering what they had to work with. Good for some quick rounds and some ace runs. I got my first ace on #2, which was fun. Not very challenging, the only hard holes are difficult because of all the trees in the fairway. One or two "thread the needle shots and you could walk away with an 18. Like another reviewer said, it's too bad that the Stillwater/OPH area only has this course. Hopefully they get another course built soon.

Pros:

This course is not really a place for someone above beginner level to play. I would say a great place to take a girl on a date or girlfriend learning how to play. The longest hole is about 225 feet down hill. I played with my putter in the low 20's for all 3 rounds I played. No traffic, can play 3 rounds in 45 minutes.

Cons:

Short, no concrete tee pads, garbage all over the place.

Other Thoughts:

Too bad that a place like stillwater does not have a better course to offer, there is disc golf lacking in this area and I hope they put a 18 out there some place like Hudson or Stillwater.

Great course to work on trick shots and to fine tune that short game! Other then that it is well maintained and you can zip through in less than a half hour. It really is a good place for your short game or like I said some trick shot that has been giving you issue that is purely what I go there for.

Cons:

Its all short and watch out for disc poachers along the fence when you come out of the woods and going down the hill. Also, lock your car and put valuables in the boot because the grommets in this area are little hoodlums and thats ok because the prison is so close to the course!

Other Thoughts:

watch out if you are wearing sandals! When they chopped all of the smaller trees down they left in place a bout an inch to inch and a half stump in place. Now take that and times it by "X" and you have a bloodied foot. Trust me, wear some shoes and still watch your step, the place is dangerous if your a klutz.

Fun, excellent short course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 14, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course was an extremely fun course to play. The first and last holes are fairly straight and have fences, but the tee position and trees/general layout provide for a unique feel. After the first two holes you go into woods where the holes' difficulty ranges from straight corridor shots, to randomly scattered trees. The best thing by far about this course is that it is wooded and hilly, however there is very little brush. The course is extremely well maintained so you won't be wasting any time looking for discs.

It wasn't crowded at all when we were there on a Sunday afternoon, while White Bear and Acorn both were.

Cons:

Some holes could be a little longer, but that may change the feel of the course.

Other Thoughts:

I believe it is worth a trip to play this course a few times. It is very fun. You can relax on the podium after a round or two.

Wooded 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 15, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great course with short, but challenging holes! This course starts you off in the open with two quick holes and then leads you into a pine forest! The holes in here will help you craft some great trick shots! With hole #7 a down slope drive you can have fun trying to fit one between the trees.

Cons:

If you don't have any accuracy then you will dreading your day here. There are so many trees even seasoned players get frustrated.

Other Thoughts:

With short holes and no one in front of you, it is possible to play 18 holes in 30 minutes!

Often not visited by many people you can play as many rounds as you want with out being bothered and hone your skill!

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 14, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Most holes are short so most beginners can throw almost all the way to the holes, but good accuracy is needed for every shot. Most of the holes are heavily wooded and if you don't throw it down the lane you're supposed to, you could end up with 3 or 4 more strokes.
There is some amount of elevation change on nearly every hole, but it's usually doesn't play into your throw too much.
Also it seems like it is not very heavily used.

Cons:

All the holes are short enough to reach with a putter. This being said, it's not easy by any means to do that.
It can also be very muddy along the course, at least at this time of year.

Other Thoughts:

fun park to play if you're in the area. I'm not sure how far I'd drive to play it again though.
