The City of Perham keeps the grass mowed and keeps the entire park in a clean condition. This course is mostly an 18 hole technical course. Most of the fairways are narrow, with numerous trees and thick vegetation on each side of the fairway. Hole 16 is the only hole that does not have trees. All of the holes have concrete tee pads, signs with the hole number, par, and distance, and strong, sturdy Prodigy baskets, that are blue in color. All of the baskets were replaced in 2021, and the concrete tee pads were added sometime in late 2022 or early 2023. The terrain for the entire course is flat. There are no water hazards. The soil is sandy, which causes the soil to dry out faster after a rain. The sandy soil also appears to keep the insect population down, as I have not encountered any mosquitos during the summer days I have played the course. The course is easy to follow, with most of the next tee pads within view of the basket that was just played. There is a huge snack factory that borders the west side of Arvig Park, which sometimes causes the holes on the west side of the park to smell like fresh potato chips.

There is a huge dog food factory a couple of blocks to the south of the park, which causes the south side of the park to sometimes smell like dog food.

Full map of the course at hole 1 with signs guiding you through the trails.
Thick wooded areas make you feel secluded, away from the public.
Not much traffic on the course, running into other groups is minimal.
Plenty of ace runs giving you a quick rush of excitement. Most holes feature tight fairways.

Very short holes.
Sand/Dirt tee pads dont give you much traction and get worn in creating a rut.
Hole 1 is so short it's unnecessary.
Custom baskets allow for discs to bounce off center pin or fall through the bottom.

Overall, this is a fun and quick course to play. Definitely coming back to it.

Once you get in a little it has a nice secluded feel

1. Baskets let putts fall out of the BOTTOM of the basket.

2. Most holes are extremely short.

With the course in Detroit Lakes a 20 minute drive away, I would probably never play this course again and not think twice. Very short, bad baskets, and the course is essentially built around a few access roads. Not the worst course you will ever come across, but definitely not worth going out of your way for.

-Very good signs showing hole location, par, and next tee location
-Nice variety of shots makes for a challenging course
-Lots of trees which can make for some technical shots

-Course can be a little hard to locate
-The town of Perham smells from the pet food and snack factories which are very close to the course
-Very little elevation change

Definitely worth stopping in for if you are in the area

Signs at tees give good directions for baskets and next tee.
Nice mix of course direction.

Tight windows and alleys before a dogleg on a few holes can force a side-arm player play forearm, or visa versa.

I like the challenge the course presents. Accuracy is key on this one. Very few holes you can just power your disc through. Good course to perfect some lesser used shots. I.E.- tomahawk, those crazy 60degree chip shots, upside-down is even useful if you're on the wrong side of a spruce tree. Hahaha. Overall, good course.
