The views of the river and the cute picnic area is awesome! This course was the third I played in the day and presented more of a challenge than I thought! I love that the course switches direction giving an opportunity to throw in head and tail winds during the same round. The baskets caused alot of chain outs and once my putter even fell through the bottom. Great use of space and a neat little course not to be underestimated.

Don't let the older negative reviews and lower ratings scare you off! There are some issues but this course still has a lot to offer and appreciate! I've now stopped twice to play it while passing through Minnedosa and would gladly play it again in the future. While only 9 baskets with a single tee position for each, there's still a lot of variety in the hole shapes and shot types required. Good use of elevation, hazards, differing distances and park boundaries makes it a fun challenge. It plays well for the small footprint that it occupies. The concrete tee pads, signage, and basket toppers all punch above their weight class for a course like this too. The concerns are: - The long grass and river hazard areas can be difficult to avoid if you throw long shots or aggressive lines. There's some risk of lost discs, ticks, and scratches. - If more than 1 group was playing the course at the same time, there'd likely be some risk of throwing into each other on some crossover holes. - While the baskets clearly had some nice effort put into making them, they unfortunately fall short on performance. The chains are a bit too light and short so they don't grab as well as they should. The baskets themselves also have gaps in the bars big enough for discs to slip right through after falling in. Someone has tried to fix this with some wire, which helps a bit, but we still had a couple slip through.
