Great mix of holes, some open, mostly wooded with some elevation changes. Kaposia is a great course a little difficult to get around if you have never been before so try to follow a group ahead of you or bring a friend. Good for all skill levels a great chance to play a course the pros play
Rather difficult course with severe elevation changes (both up and down) on a couple of holes. Bring your hiking boots as you are essentially taking a wilderness hike for most of the course (you just happen to be throwing discs while you are at it). As of 2010, there is a $5 fee for a daily pass, unsure of what the annual pass is. Be prepared to spend upwards of 2 and a half hours here if you play all 26 holes.
Pros: Fairly long and tough, scorecards, disc shop on site, fee keeps the course in better repair
Cons: Needs to be more signs saying where to go for the next tee (it is easy to miss a handful of holes), a couple of the pathways from hole to hole are kind of treacherous
very nice, and very challenging. this course is very well maintained, and it is said they plan to spend upwards to $200,000 on improvements. there is a $5 dollar fee for daily pass, and a $30 dollar fee for a seasonal pass which is also good at the invergrove heights location. please do not be discouraged about this fee for it is neccesary for the repairs that are planned, and i think you will find that the money will be well spent when the course is finnished. i give this course an 8.5 rating out of 10 for toughness, and recommend it.
Kaposia is a course that you can love and hate at the same time. If you can stay out of the trees and hit your birdies, you will love it. But if you aren't hitting the fairways off the tee, it can add strokes to your score really quickly. This is my favorite course to play on windy days. The tree coverage really cuts down on the wind factor.
Invest in the season pass. It's well-worth it to see the improved maintenance on the course. Thank you, Mike!
Kaposia is a one of a kind course. I used to play it along with North Valley a few times a month and I will say that nothing else has ever been quite like it. Beginners beware, this is not a fun place to play if you are not confident in your game.
