When there’s news happening here in the Soo, the Soo Rocks gets to the bottom of things – we get the scoop from top “Snoop” reporters. When word got out that there was a new disc golf course opening up in the city’s Minneapolis Woods, we wondered what the young people would think of this new park addition.


Hmmm, for the real scoop, we would need to find some unbiased young people who had some experience playing disc golf and had been to other courses. Luckily we found 2 young people, in their 20s, from WI who were happy to report on their experience with opening day at the Soo's new Dalimonte Disc Golf Course. 


Here’s the Scoop from our Cheesehead Snoops:


TSR: Overall, what do you think of our new disc park here in the Soo?
Snoop: We like it, obviously it’s new so there is a lot of room to grow, you can see that it’s not finished yet. It’s something to do while we’re here [in the Soo].

TSR: How did you find it and was it easy to get to?

Snoop: We knew where it was because we found it online (google search) and have been up here in the winter to go tubing. If we had never been here, it would be hard to find because we didn’t see any signs in town.

TSR: What did you think of the layout and variety of the course?

Snoop: Pretty average. * The map made it easy to navigate the course. * We both liked the front 9 better than the back 9. The back was a little lame because they were just straight w/ no obstacles but the back didn’t have tees or signs yet so it’s not really finished.


TSR: What about the exercise level:

Snoop: 5 out of 5 because of the bluff you walk up and down but it’s suppose to be a good way to get outside and exercise.


TSR: Bug Factor?

Snoop: We brought bug spray. We expected mosquitoes – ½ the course is in the woods.

TSR: Any other input or things you’d like to see?

Snoop: Nice selection of discs, many places only carry 1 brand. * It’s a good way to use the park during the summer. * It gave us something fun to do for a couple hours. *Windy days would make playing on the hill more fun/challenging or unpredictable. *Lodge pretty much has everything. * moveable obstacles in more of the straight shots would make it more fun

TSR: Overall all, what did you think?

Snoop: It’s cool, it's good.
