« on: November 12, 2009, 03:22:18 PM »
Has anyone played this course and what are your thoughts? Is it still open for the season?  Myself and a couple other people from st cloud plan on checking it out on saturday.  Anyone else want in?

I have played it several times.

Most people who come from St Cloud are disappointed. They expect Riverside or Becker etc…. it more like a smaller Waite Park. I happen to like the Little falls and Waite Park course.

They make good use of the land they have. It’s basically a big field with trees surrounding it.

From the well mark short tees…

#1 a interesting short shot, 200 feet or so… the basket is between the 7th and 8th pine tree.. hyzer or ani.

#2 a more or less straight shot of about 250 to 300 the buildings and the trees keep you straight.. it may be more interesting if the long grass 30 feet pass is counted as ob

#3 from the last hole, walk back to the bigger building for the tee pad. Throwing over a parking lot the basket is at a corner… I love this hole. Come up shot your OB… long you’re shooting back at a basket with OB behind it… shooting safer to the right it’s hard to get you duce.

#4 about 350 OB line on the left a very high baseball backstop on the right near the basket. I love this hole too… it’s a hard shot to avoid OB and without being behind the backstop or throwing past into the trees

#5 two rolls of big pine trees… a hard hyzer on the right because of one tree on the right… a ani on the left with the road OB… or a 300 ft long 5 ft wide “tube shot” that no one has successfully made.

#6 longer shot… bad stuff on the left

#7 I love this hole! They made a great hole with no trees… the grass is not cut here except a 50 foot circle around the hole about 200 to 250 away… the tall grass is OB. For the pros this might be easy for most this is a great skills test landing your disc in the 50 foot circle

#8 the first long hole over 400 feet most likely against a wind

#9 another longer hole to finish.. a little shorter than 8 but somewhat up hill

Like Waite park the long tees are hard to find
