In just over two years, the Airborn Disc Golf Preserve has quickly become a favorite among professionals and fans alike.

Given the designer, Cale Leiviska, and the property in Clearwater, Minnesota, it's easy to see why.

As disc golf returned in a pandemic world in 2020, the Preserve came together quickly to play host to an Elite Series event. The course — the Black Bear, a combination of the two courses on the property that neighbors the Mississippi River in the Land of a 10,000 Lakes — evolved in 2021, providing a much tougher challenge than its debut.
