Hennepin Technical College - Brooklyn Park › November 7, 2022
This course is really short with no marked tee pads. I needed to rely 100% on UDisc to figure out where holes are. It's definitely a short course and very empty of players. The holes seemed to avoid obstacles of any kind despite having a decent amount of trees on the property.
St. Charles DGC › March 25, 2022
Mostly wooded shots of various lengths- from short downhill dogleg left to long and straight. The few out of the woods shots are fairly open with some elevation shots throughout the course. All par 3s. Tee pads are shoddy (and with course being muddy/damp in spring it's pretty rough) and signage is a little lacking from hole to hole so giving it a B.
Coon Rapids DGC › October 14, 2021
Tough course. All concrete tee pads. Large signs are inaccurate but the smaller paper sized ones were good. They've moved around tee pads and some baskets have multiple layouts (A/B) so make sure you figure that out before throwing. Lots of elevation shots toward the end.

This course also called upper (to Bancroft Bay/Tall Grass). Copying my review from there: Solid course with tons of wood and gap shots. All tees are padded. Quite a few shots with water in play, only 3 where going over water would be the main play/best scoring chance. As of now, (4/2021) fairly well kept although no bathroom access yet. Great variety of hole lengths and backhand/forehand holes. Highly recommend it.
Bancroft Bay Park › 2nd Course › April 13, 2021
Pictures are both of "lower" aka "Tall Grass." A good mix of in the woods and out of the woods. Back 9 is mostly out in the open whereas first 9 have much more woods shots. Gaps aren't as severe as upper course. Definitely the easier of the two courses. All par 3s with distances ranging from 200ish to just over 400 feet. All tees are padded so pretty solid course.
Bancroft Bay Park › 1st Course › April 13, 2021
Pictures are both of "lower" aka "Tall Grass." This will be the upper/ Oak Island course. (It's 18 holes not 9). Solid course with tons of wood and gap shots. All tees are padded. Quite a few shots with water in play, only 3 where going over water would be the main play/best scoring chance. As of now, (4/2021) fairly well kept although no bathroom access yet. Great variety of hole lengths and backhand/forehand holes. Highly recommend it.
Bear Cave Park › April 13, 2021
Best disc course in the area. Great variety, signs are a bit generous on pars. Updated since the fall (moved hole one and not sure if there's a warm up area anymore), for the better as hole 18 and hole 1 crisscrossed once the addition was added. Great mix of open and wooded. Definitely the most difficult course with 20 minutes of Rochester. Changed up holes slightly recently with 1 being moved away from 18's end. Practice basket moved/removed though.
IBM Employee Park › December 6, 2020
No longer requires pass/IBM access to access. 19th street, valleyhigh drive, and 37th street give access to park.
Park has no signage for holes; however, original 9 have cement pads. Mostly open with a few wooded holes on "original" 9. There are a added 9 holes, 6 of which are wooded very different from original. Some poles as to where hole starts. A nice change of pace from the wide open front. Everything plays as a par 3. Good starter park [due to openness and easy to keep track of disc].

East Park › January 22, 2021
Concrete tee pads, no rivers so minimal chance of losing disc. Lots of trees in play but not necessarily "wooded" You'll generally have a shot no matter where you lie compared to an actual forest. Mostly par 3 and very well maintained. Still waiting for waste baskets to be returned since Covid though.
