This was a fun course to play. The name of the park is wrong however. The sign at the entrance calls it "Fairway Flyerz DGC". It was fairly well maintained for being a small town course in east-central MN. I would have to disagree with the other review that it is hard. There were a lot of water hazards, but with smart play even a newer player can do well. Hole 8 would probably be the worst in my opinion, it was very unclear where the tee pads were because people tore the post down and put it in the woods along 1. On top of that it is an impossible fairway since it has trees all around the marshy creek and in front of the tee pads with a small landing area around the basket. Hole 3 had a long tee pad at one point, which i was able to find deep in the prairie grasses after looking at the hole sign. I would definitely play this course again if I was in the area. The tee pads were all dirt, there wasn't elevation changes. A few long bomb holes that were straight "tunnel" shots.
