Great course! I would hope in the future for a bottle fill up/water station.

Course is just long. It's an old golf course. I do like the layout. The shots require control and accuracy.

A beautiful and humbling reminder of why the pros get paid to play disc golf and the rest of us have day jobs. This course is long, demanding, and psychologically exhausting; everything you would expect from a pro tour course. Bring a towel; not for the water hazards, but for your tears

Yeah, it’s the real deal. Nothing wrong with a great course
@lotrfreak
Truly the best holes the Preserve has to offer. Tons of walking since the holes are split between all 3 courses but totally worth it. So fun to throw holes you see the pros playing and realize how technical they are. When Black Bear is available, travel here to play it!

Beautiful property dedicated to disc golf. Lots long bombs on this layout with fair lines and OB. Your legs will be tired by the end of the track. This time of year, the upkeep isn't quite as solid, but I'm sure it will get better as June gets closer.

Inconsistent signage, was often confused about which hole I was playing and where to go, maps on some holes, no maps on others
@agough89
Beautiful property. Wide variety of shot selection. Awesome to play the holes as seen on the Pro Tour.
@mistermesser
A very very long 18. A great course for advanced to pro players. Beware if you are a beginner.
@prestidigit8tor
Beautiful challenging course. Great views, great teepads, great variety. Lots of long holes so being able to throw far will help a lot.
@jameslinville
A true pro level course. Taking bomber shots to another level. One of my favorite courses in Minnesota

One of the best of the best

Opinions on the changes this year: (spoiler, I like them) Hole 6 is a great 2 shot hole that will require a specific landing zone on the first shot. Your second shot will be a 280-300ish foot hyzer shot, avoiding a small tree in the middle of the fairway. Hole 9 (I think) is designed to be a roller hole for the RHBH shot. Lefties will love the power hyzer line. Very easy 3 and a relatively easy 2 (for pros). Hole 10 is best served with a power forehand shot, followed by a straight putter shot over the embankment. Everything else was pretty much the same. Hole 5 is still a bruiser. I like the way the changes are developing on black bear year by year. I think is the best iteration yet!

Big… Real Big. Big shots over water, big shots up hills, big death putts. BIG

My arm hurts. But my pride hurts more.
