I heard a rumor that Kaposia Park in St Paul Minnesota isn't open yet this year. Does anyone know this for sure? Also what are the best Minneapolis/St Paul area disc golf courses to play? I am going to be taking a trip this weekend and I don't know which courses are the best. Thanks in advance!

I'd be suprised if Kaposia wasn't open this time of year, but I haven't been there so I can't confirm it.

I haven't played it, but North Valley Park in Inver Grove Heights is supposed to be a really good course. I believe they hold tournaments there.

I have some friends who played Oakwood Park in Cottage Grove and they thought it was pretty diffuicult.

The only ones I've played so far are Lake Cornelia (aka Roseland Park) in Edina and Acorn Park in Roseville. Lake Cornelia is a fairly short, 9 hole course in a public park that doesn't seem to be too difficult. However it's kept up very well and the chances of losing a disc are pretty low, assuming you stay off the highway on #4. You have a couple oppertunities to roll into one of two ponds, but we've always been able to recover the discs easily. There are lots of trees on the back 4 (holes 1-5 and 6-9 are separated by a playground) but no real rough to have to wade through. There's really not a lot of variety, but there's a little. Most of the holes are fairly similar, but a couple stand out. It's in a pretty preppy, rich neighborhood with a playground and little league baseball diamond so most people there are pretty polite and plesant. There's also not a lot of dirt around, (mostly nicely mown grass) so it's not too bad after it rains. It's not a good course if you want to try out your distance drivers or want anything too difficult, but if you don't want to worry about getting dirty, losing discs or want to see how your discs hold up when they hit trees it might be worth checking out.

I've only been to Acor Park once, but I liked it. It's 18 holes and more "rugged" than Lake Cornelia. It will be muddy after a rain and there are a couple of baskets missing, replaced by giant sticks stuck in the ground. It has a lot more variety than Lake Cornelia with a few more long holes and some holes surrounded by woods. There are a few more perlious holes where you can end up in some pretty gross goo, but that can add to the excitment.

Well I found out that Kaposia isn't open yet due to erosion problems. They want to make sure that the course is ready for the tournments scheduled this year. It should be open in a few weeks though.

She's open now. Much thanks to the volunteers that bust ***** every year to keep Kaposia looking good.

Good to hear that Kaposia is open again :D Acorn park is also a good course except its so easy to lose your disc and it seems there is a lot more overgrowth lately. There are many holes where you can't see where your disc lands. if your disc fades too much you'll be in the overgrowth and in many cases you'll be looking for a while. Definately not a beginner course. I brought some friends there that were very new to the game and they ended up losing some discs and got frustrated with the whole deal. I find Acorn pretty annoying because of that and don't like to go there often.

I've played lake cornelia which is an alright course. Lonelake is kind of a fun course, lot of uphill/downhill shots. I like to play plymouth creek also, its kind of the "tree challenge" course. Starring lake is pretty nice, very good upkeep like Cornelia, more variety in the holes though and a better course in general. I've also played Moir park quite a bit because its right next to my work and I'll go there during lunch. All the holes there are very short, but the challenge at Moir isnt the with the driving, its with the putting, because there arn't any chains they use these wierd cone baskets that give you less vertical space for putting making it much more difficult.
