Judson Mine DGC

"This is the best course I’ve ever played. Meticulously cared for. Course design is amazing- no hole is a skip over hole, every one has a thoughtful fairway and shape. Quiet- only saw one other group on a 72 degree windless day. The nature is stunning. The course wraps around a lake that looks like it is in the Rocky Mountains. Better than blue ribbon pines 100%"

"Better signage and trash cans would be helpful but beautiful course. "

"Beautiful course. Interesting holes. "

"Beautiful views "

"Signage between holes could be better, but course is beautiful. "

"Needs some course maintenance like level tee pads. Definitely in my top 3 rated course "

"Amazing course, amazing views, amazing upkeep, one of the best in the state "

"This isn’t a course, it’s an experience. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area!"

"By far best course I've ever played. "

"Amazing! "

"Absolutely amazing and beautiful course, a must play if your in the area!"

"A must play course. Great course design around a lake with some awesome views. Turf teepads are a bit lumpy and some of the rough is pretty thick. Bring bug spray."

"Awesome layout with every terrain you could want, realistically. Only natural obstacles, though."

"A must play course! This is the most pretty property I’ve ever played on. Bugs are bad towards the end but manageable. Has all sorts of super fun shots "

"Can’t blame the course for the bugs. They were tolerable through 16. Then BAM. We ran for our lives. If only we could have soaked up the beauty without having to play fast due to the skeeters. Truly gorgeous track"

"Super fun and beautiful course! Red layout is a blast with a lot of short technical holes. Bring bug spray!"

"Beautiful course that wraps around an abandoned mine that has been filled to create a lake. Keep it on the fairway or else you'll be met with steep hillsides and deep gulleys. Lost a Blue Champion Beast on 18 - let me know if you find it!😉"

"Layout was awesome from the Reds. Came after a rainstorm and the mosquitos are fierce. Bring lots of spray/layers. "

"Traveling through the area and had this on my wish list. First hole was good but nothing special, but signage and pads were in great shape, so I kept my hopes up. Walking out of the woods to #2 to that view was awesome. From there through #17 I was really happy with the course. Each hole had its own unique character and was challenging without being stupid hard. Multiple tees, in case you bring along someone with a lesser arm. Maybe my favorite 16 holes of any course I’ve yet played."

"Tee pads are pretty lumpy and turf so if there’s any moisture you will slip and either fall or hurt a muscle in your leg like I did. :) Otherwise a beautiful course!"

"Beautiful and challenging. Lots of different looks."

"Course was amazing but with rain the skeeters are insane. Bring bug spray"

"Put a smile on my face! Easily one of the best courses in Minnesota. Great hole design, awesome views!"

"A must play course. I went out of my way to go play it and I don't regret it! Beautiful scenery and great course design. Be ready to get a workout on straight and right finish shots!"

"Beautiful course! Very well kept"

"Breathtaking. This is what it means to be king of the north. Take us by the hand and show us what is true beauty 😁"

"Beautiful course"

"Great course just very difficult to find disc sometimes "

"Best course I’ve ever played!!"

"Very well kept, lots of fun lines and elevation changes. Front 1-6 were our favorites! Tee pads need some love otherwise totally worth the trip out! "

"Beautiful course. Really tight fairways and a challenging par. Love 2-6 on the lake. Bring a disc retriever or a swim suit. "

"New favorite course! Unmatched atmosphere, great shot variety "

"Nice course, but tee pads are awful, and is definitely not a 4.6 star course. If a course is rated 4.6 on udisc I expect pristine tee pads, not pads that are lumpy, eroded, and too short. If they fix the pads this would be a solid 4 star course, but it still wouldn't be anywhere near a 5. I rate a 5 based on BRP, this ain't BRP."

"Worth the trip! "

"Beautiful course among the trees, with a few holes by the water. "

"Wow! What a fun and challenging course! Water OB on the front and narrow gaps through the pines in the back. Loved playing this course!"

"Truly an amazing course in what feels like the middle of nowhere. We were staying in Ely and made the little over an hour drive to play. The longs are a great challenge. "

"Just awesome all around, solid tee pads???or its a 5 "

"Fun course! I am so glad I went out of my way to go to this course on my way up north."

"Beautiful course. "

"100% hidden gem, great mix of holes with a few truly unique throws. Worth the 2 hour drive. Turf tee pads were in great condition, I saw someone complain about them so they must have recently had some upkeep "

"Most amazing course I've seen. Worth every minute of the drive up from the cities "

"Needs tee box upkeep! "

"Incredibly beautiful. Make the trip. "

"Cool track. Def worth the hour n fifteen drive for me. "

"Land - 10/10 Course design - 9.5/10 Baskets - 9/10 Teepads - 0/10 That is not an exaggeration. There are turf tees that are super worn down and are super slick. Slick to the point that they should be taken out because they will lead to injuries. Teepads are also not flat, especially the front of the teepads which have been so worn over time that they drop off in the front. Teepads are also not a uniform size. The rest of the course is amazing. But it needs real teepads. BADLY. "

"Course needs signs but is scenic"

"Fun and diverse course featuring good elevation changes, water hazard, nice signage, great turf tee pads and garbages everywhere. Technical and more open fairways requiring many different discs in your bag. Some of the pars don’t match from signs and Udisc and could use a few benches to chill after some rough terrain hikes. I highly recommend if in area and probably a better best disc course for intermediate skill level players. Some rough plays extremely brutal. "

"Truly a gem in northern Minnesota! "

"Teepads are getting worse and worse. They need to level them again "

"Awesome course. Only had time to play a few holes. Definitely a risk of losing discs when going for big drives."

"Out of all the courses this state has to offer. This is my favorite course in the state by far! "

"The beauty of the lake is what makes this course great"

"Beautiful views, best course I’ve played so far"

"First time I played an had a blast! Awesome baskets and unbelievable scenery.....like the fact that there’s trash cans around "

"Amazing Track!!!"

"Epic course!!!"

"This is a super great course, the only problem I had was a lot of flies. Would come back in the fall and wear long sleeves and pants. Course was very well maintained. Super scenic, amazing views. Also quite hilly."

"Best course I’ve ever played. 9/10 on course maintenance. 9/10 on design. 11/10 on scenery. Literally my only suggestion for improvement is that the course could use some benches."

"What a gem. My hats off to the designers. You all should try to play this course if given a chance. I would love a couple more holes I could air it out. What a beautiful location. I didn’t have a problem with bugs but I played mid day in early June. The course was mostly dry. I love that you have two tee pads. Don’t bother with multiple pin locations. "

"Course is gorgeous and well signed. A couple bumpy tee pads. "

"Fantastic course just needs little upkeep. "

"Phenomenal course! Highly recommend and then check out 3rd Ave in Hibbing for a spectacular view of the mines!"

"Great course that plays in an old mining area, well worth playing if you are in the area, make sure to pack the bug spray if going in the summer"

"Beautiful views, challenging holes. Well maintained trails. Only downside is lack of garbage cans on the course. "

"Challenging, lots of tech shots and elevation. Bring bug spray"

"The most Beautiful courses I’ve ever played. "

"This course is great for beginners and advanced players. Great course and great times are had by all."

"Amazing course. It has a lot of variety and challenges. A few ideas from me might be to removesome more smaller stumps and put arrows on the pins. The signs are wonderful as an alternative however. I am going to have to play it again and possibly improve on my shots. Great job everone that put time into this course!)"

"Beautiful setting to play a round of golf"

"Great value course. No benches and minimal garbage cans but the course is gorgeous, well-designed and has a good variety of holes"

"Great course. Map is accurate at the start of the course. A picture of the map helps when playing it the 1st time, but the course is pretty easy to navigate w/out the map. Great signs at each hole & great baskets. Nice turf tee pads & a wide variety of shots. Left, right, open, & wooded shots & a good amount of elevation at the course. Hole #4 is the only water hole. Great scenery as well. Parking is by the skatepark, baseball field, & playground area as Google maps led me to Hole 1's fairway. "

"Scenery is amazing! Fun course layout. Would love to come back. "

"Lot of love went into this course! Really nice tee boxes with AstroTurf on them, stairs and landscaping, even a tee shot over the water. Some of the fairways are narrow and require accuracy. All round great course."

"Solid course that plays around a lake. Tee pads and signage could use some work but overall a fun round."

"The work that went into this course is unbelievable. A solid group of true dedicated disc golfers creating an amazing course surrounding Judson Mine pit."

"Beautiful property with 18 unique holes. Lots of elevation and surprise."

"Not a course for beginners or medium level players "

"Sick course. A little time consuming"

"This place is awesome."

"Top notch new course, beautiful and challenging. Kudos to the community that put thousands of hours turning this old filthy mine pit into a great course. Well groomed with perfect baskets. Long and short tee boxes. Course plays around a beautiful blue lake but water is in play on only one hole. Good variety of shots required to navigate the elevation, woods shots and field shots. Very enjoyable. A must play if you are in the area."

"Pretty sweet, well marked. Lots of mosquitos, lol"

"Really cool layout. Played all long though and it was very challenging."

"Little muddy, but otherwise great"

"Good chain out a lot of you can’t put hard"

"Nice heavily wooded, beautiful challenging course"
