Disc Golf Course Review

Fun beginner course. Short Par-3 9-hole course, good opportunity to work on your putter approach and upshots. Hole 8 is by far the hardest hole and birdies and well earned! Nice mix of open and wooded shots to contend with. Thursday night glow league runs all year round!

Cons:

Other Thoughts:

Great beginner course!

Pros:

Great course for beginners! Well maintained with good tee signage and brand new concrete tee pads. A few low ceiling shots and lots trees to contend with. Nice course to learn how to throw and work on putter / upshots. Wednesday Night Glow League runs from Spring-Fall.

Other Thoughts:

Part campus golf, part park golf

Pros:

USU is kind of like two different courses in one especially since the last 7 holes are a few blocks away from the rest of the course and not even on campus but in a city park.

The first little stretch of holes play across a soccer field, very open and not very inspiring. From hole 4 onward you are throwing around the campus often against buildings or from elevated tee pads and even one hole has you throwing over the large water feature in the middle of the campus. After hole 11 is where you either walk balk to your car and drive to the park section or walk a few blocks, then walk back to the car after you're done.

Holes 12-18 play in this wooded section with low ceiling and short grass, perfect for rollers. Some elevation rounds out the obstacles and challenges you face on this short course. Speaking to some locals they said they have never played 1-11 and only play this stretch of 7 holes. Makes sense to me this is the most fun and challenging section.

Cons:

The long walks between holes and sections of the course aren't that bad but a little annoying mostly because wherever you park your car you're going to have to have a long walk to it at some point.

There were a lot of students walking from building to building while I was here and since the course plays through the campus I had to wait several times for students to move out of the way so I could throw.

It's not quite a 'pitch n putt' but it's short and even weenie arms can reach circle 1 most of the time out here. You still need good accuracy just know that you are going to be shooting under par pretty much always.

Other Thoughts:

Udisc has this place listed as an 18 hole course and a 7 hole course which was confusing. I was driving through the area looking for a leg stretcher and 7 holes sounded perfect. After figuring out it's actually 18 with 11 on one side and 7 on the other I just had to play the whole thing. +1 for using the DGCR app I guess, U disc as so many different layouts and temp courses and such but I digress.

Overall a pretty fun course but if you're just passing through play the 12-18 section it's much more enjoyable. A great course for newbies and stretching legs.

Hilly relatively easy

Pros:

Cons:

Other Thoughts:

Locals said the 19 holes walk out to 3 miles shot +1 two boogies one birdie, my best score would be 4or 5 down, I'm 914 rated

Perfect for beginners!

Pros:

- New concrete tee pads.
- Great signage and directions.
- Perfect for beginners to learn the game and for intermediate players to refine their skills.
- Gorgeous views!

Cons:

A very popular park in the summer time. Frequent picnics, sunbathers, etc. during prime times (though most will happily move when they learn that they are on a disc golf course fairway!)

Gutted course, very sad

Pros:

- Excellent views from pretty much everywhere on the course
- Rolling hills with lush, green grass
- Decent elevation
- Easy to navigate the 5 official holes
- Concrete tee pads
- Udisc has a 9 hole safari layout

Cons:

At some point (judging by previous reviews, circa 2010) they removed more than half of the course. This place used to be 18 and now it is down to 5 baskets and 5 official tee pads with old tee pads popping up randomly as well as a few old tee signs from when the course was 18.

As it is now I doubt many disc golfers use this place to play. When I was here there were dog walkers and people laying about, reading books, and getting sun all over the fairways making this place near impossible to play even the 5 holes that remain. The best hole on the course's basket looks like it's been yanked on by locals or hit with the mower. I'm guessing no one loves this course anymore and disc golfers in the area have moved on and I don't blame them. I'd say this course is extinct in the next year or so and if it's not I'd be shocked.

Other Thoughts:

Play it while you can if you can I guess while it's here. I think played early in the morning during the week it's a decent 5 holes. You can see that there was once a pretty decent course here and it's sad what's left. Baggers you can get this in in 10-15 minutes depending on the time of day so it has that going for it at least.

Great beginner course

Pros:

Perfect for people learning to play or just hoping to get some time outside
Great for experienced players to use to introduce new players

Cons:

Other Thoughts:

Great casual course for beginners

Pros:

Concrete tee pads
Feel good design
Great for new players
Signage is clear
The view from hole 5 back at the city!

Cons:

Other Thoughts:

A Course at a School, but not a School Course

Pros:

New installation in 2022-2023. As of October 2023, all tees and baskets are in, with laminated temporary tee signs. Combination of wooded and open; two holes with water in play. A fair number of short holes to accommodate new and young players, but there are doglegs, obstacles, deep rough in the woods, and a spectacular water carry. Well-designed and a fun bagging stop. If you’re local, you might visit regularly.

+ Large and level timber-framed mat tees, blue-banded DisCatchers. The temporary tee signs are adequate (illustrated by hand), and there isn’t any navigation signage yet, but there’s tape on the basket spokes to give a general direction to the next hole. The route from 16 to 17 requires hiking a little bit through the woods; there's a path marked with small white flags, but a trail hasn’t been created yet.

+ With the exception of cross country running, the layout avoids other school activities. There’s one spot late in the layout where you’re throwing over the corner of a soccer field. You’re far enough away from the school buildings that it doesn’t really feel like you’re on school property

+ The standout hole is #16 (see pictures), the 500’ par 4 with a pond dividing the fairway for the entire hole. Tee is on the right of the water, basket is on the left. You’re going to have to cross the water to score: do you do it from the tee, or with your second shot? A good drive straight ahead will put you within 150’ - definitely a birdie run, but how much risk will you take for the reward? And yes, it's possible to dink and dunk up to the narrow land bridge leading to the green. But why would you want to do that?

+ A few holes encourage left-to-right shapes. There are some short holes, but the design allows trees keep it interesting. Hole #5 is a 324’ dogleg arcing right to left, but the wide fairway has several trees perfectly positioned down the middle, and the green is protected by a screen of skinny trees. Hole #18 has a huge old tree in front and to the right of the tee, with a major branch crowding the line directly to the basket. It’s encouraging a RHFH or turnover, especially because there’s a casual ditch running all along the left side.

+ Several holes on the back nine play around an open field, which comes as a nice change after the more constricted wooded ones earlier. Hole #9 is the perfect transition: a 250’ par 3 where you throw across an open field, to a narrow wooded chute starting at about 200’ with the green tucked in the back

Other Thoughts:

~ There’s a large parking lot on the left just before you reach the campus. Basket #13 is visible. Easy to start your round on #14 and not have to park in the lots on campus

~ If you park in the near lot and start on #14, your first hole will be a 250’ alley with water all along the right side. Then two holes later you have the pond. Buckle up!

~ Clever design that makes the most out of relatively short holes. Welcoming to beginners and a fun play; birdiefest for repeat visitors.

+ With the exception of cross country running, the layout avoids other school activities. There’s one spot late in the layout where you’re throwing over the corner of a soccer field. You’re far enough away from the school buildings that it doesn’t really feel like you’re on school property

Reviews for "Overcome Golfing Challenges through the Teachings of a Dakota Magic Golf Pro"

1. John - 1/5 stars - Dakota Magic Golf Pro was a complete disappointment. The course conditions were subpar, with many patches of dead grass and rough areas that were not properly maintained. The lack of maintenance also extended to the bunkers, which were hard and full of rocks. The holes were poorly designed, with some of them being too short and others too long and difficult for amateur players. Overall, I would not recommend this golf course to anyone looking for a quality golfing experience.

2. Emma - 2/5 stars - Although the staff at Dakota Magic Golf Pro was friendly and helpful, the course itself left a lot to be desired. The greens were patchy and uneven, making it hard to get a consistent roll on putts. The fairways were not well-groomed and had numerous divots and bare spots. Additionally, the tee boxes were in poor condition, making it challenging to get a solid tee-off. Overall, the lack of maintenance and attention to detail on this course made it a less than enjoyable golfing experience.

3. Mike - 2/5 stars - Dakota Magic Golf Pro fell short of my expectations. The course layout was confusing, with unclear signs and markers, making it difficult to navigate. The fairways were narrow and lined with dense rough, penalizing even slightly off-center shots. The pin placements were also questionable, with some of them being tucked away in impossible locations, favoring only the most accurate players. Overall, I found the course to be frustrating and lacking the fun factor that I look for in a golf course.
