Directions:
I-694; exit north on White Bear Ave. Go a few lights to a right on Orchard Ln. Turn right into park just past YMCA building on right. Walk through the weeds from the middle of the south side of the parking lot to 1st tee under a tree.
Great course very challenging for players of all skill levels, only 14 holes however with some longer holes make par a difficult task. I good mix of open fields and wooded areas challenges you to adapt to the hole. Cons: not well marked, only 14 holes, not all holes have concrete tee pads. Overall fun course that will test every Disc head out there
nice course, very challenging. there are some very dense areas you definatly want to avoid (hole 4 to the right), but over all very nice. i give this course a 7 out of 10 rating for toughness. definatly worth playing.
If you don't want to deal with the Acorn Park crowds, but you want that challenge, come to Lakewood. It is excellent. Good mix of shots, well laid out through the property, and crowds are rarely (I've never seen it crowded) a problem. It's off the beaten path so most people don't come here except locals. Baskets are nice and wood-chipped. Cons: Navigating course can be difficult. The locals are friendly and are happy to point you in the right direction.
The course map online here hasn't been updated, but the numbers have all been updated at the actual course.
To avoid just straight wooded area we went to tees 1-8 and "13"(17) and "14" (18). The Pink areas are Holes 10-16. We didn't feel like hunting for our discs in the woods constantly. Slight water hazard in the woods maybe around hole 12? The water was pure green so it blended in really well.
NOTE: The signs on the Tees have the location of the next Tee. So plan ahead and read the sign and remember where the next Tee is at otherwise you might not find it.
Not super busy but there are pleasant people around and hole 17/18 are pretty cool due to elevation.
