The 10 best disc golf courses in Minnesota (2026)

The best disc golf course in Minnesota, by player ratings, is Blue Ribbon Pines in East Bethel. It’s #1 in the state and #14 in the world on UDisc’s 2026 rankings (UDisc). Here’s the full top 10, with what you need to know to pick one and plan your round.

How this list works

We haven’t played these courses ourselves, so we didn’t rank them by opinion. The order follows UDisc’s 2026 Minnesota ranking, which UDisc says is “derived entirely from player ratings”: more than 6.5 million ratings from over 1 million players, adjusted for how people use the star scale and weighted toward recent reviews (UDisc).

What we’ve added is the practical part: holes, length, cost, seasonal setups, and which course suits which kind of round. These details come from park districts, course pages, the PDGA course directory and UDisc listings. Fees and seasonal layouts change, so check each course’s page before you drive out.

Best for…

All of these picks are based on the published details in this article.

• Free rounds: Driftless 18, Bethel University and Breezy Point: Agate Pass.
• Several courses in one trip: The Preserve in Clearwater, which has three courses in this top 10 (Timberwolf, Lynx and Red Fox), plus a fourth course, Otter, established in 2025 (UDisc).
• Shorter courses: Red Fox at 4,588 feet is a little over half the length of Timberwolf (8,371 feet), and Bethel’s holes run 230–625 feet. Both are tightly wooded, so accuracy matters more than distance.
• A tough, long day: Timberwolf, Driftless 18 (UDisc rates its elevation “extremely hilly”) and Blue Ribbon Pines (rated long, technical and challenging).
• Winter play: Breezy Point: Agate Pass keeps 9- and 11-hole winter layouts. Driftless 18 is listed as seasonal, and Kaposia may pull baskets in spring, so check first.

Twin Cities metro

1. Blue Ribbon Pines (East Bethel)

A 27-hole course built just for disc golf, with tight, wooded fairways, ponds and boulders. Its standard layout is rated long, technical and challenging. It has a pro shop, a bar and grill, and a refreshment stand partway through the course (UDisc). UDisc lists the fee as $8 per day and notes that it’s on private property (UDisc).

2. Bryant Lake Park (Eden Prairie)

An 18-hole course in a Three Rivers regional park. The park district says its courses offer “scenic views and challenging holes.” A daily pass is $10 for one round, and an annual pass is $59, good at any Three Rivers disc golf course. As of October 2026, disc rental is temporarily unavailable at Bryant Lake, so bring your own discs (Three Rivers Park District).

5. Kaposia Park (South St. Paul)

A 27-hole course that the PDGA directory calls a “scenic and challenging championship course”, with elevation changes and lots of trees. The PDGA listing describes it as somewhat cart friendly, with four holes that can be hard going with a cart. It lists a $5 fee and notes that baskets can be pulled from March to June, so confirm with the course before visiting (PDGA).

8. Bethel University (Arden Hills)

An 18-hole campus course that’s open to the public, with concrete tees and holes from 230 to 625 feet. It has several elevation changes and tight wooded lines, and five holes use Lake Valentine as a water hazard (Bethel University). UDisc lists it as free to play (UDisc).

10. Savanna Dunes DGC at Bunker Hills (Andover)

An 18-hole, par 59 course in Bunker Hills Regional Park, totaling more than 6,200 feet. It mixes open and narrow fairways through native oaks, pines and grass, with slight elevation change on most holes. There’s no separate course fee, but motorized vehicles need a regional park permit, at $7 per day or $30 per year. It’s a multi-use park, so yield to bikers and trail users (Anoka County Parks).

The Preserve, Clearwater: three top-10 courses in one place

Three courses in Minnesota’s top 10 are at the Airborn Disc Golf Preserve in Clearwater, which makes it a natural full-day trip. All three are pay-to-play. UDisc’s current listings show $15 per day, with the Otter course part of the Preserve day pass. Older, undated PDGA listings for Lynx, Timberwolf and Red Fox show $10, so confirm the current price with the course.

3. The Preserve: Timberwolf

The PDGA calls it the more difficult of the three main courses at the Preserve: 18 holes over 8,371 feet, with a mix of wooded and open holes (PDGA).

4. The Preserve: Lynx

The middle-difficulty course: 18 holes, with UDisc listing the main layout at 7,153 feet and par 61. It has ponds, streams and wooded areas on mostly flat ground, plus turf tees and a restroom. It was designed by, and is owned by, Cale Leiviska (UDisc).

7. The Preserve: Red Fox

The shortest of the three main courses, at 18 holes and 4,588 feet, and more tightly wooded than the other two (PDGA).

Greater Minnesota

6. Driftless 18 (Rochester)

A free, public course set in rolling hills around the Gamehaven Reservoir, designed by Cale Leiviska. The main layout is 18 holes and par 60 at 7,985 feet, with 27 holes in total. UDisc rates the elevation “extremely hilly” and lists the course as seasonal. Restrooms and drinking water are available (UDisc).

9. Breezy Point: Agate Pass (Breezy Point)

A free, 18-hole course in a public park, with very hilly ground, concrete tees and listed hours of 8am to 8pm. In winter some baskets are removed, so only 9- and 11-hole layouts are available until spring (UDisc).

Tips before you go

• Check the course page first. Fees, hours and seasonal layouts change, and several of these courses remove baskets or switch layouts by season.
• Bring your own discs. Don’t count on rentals.
• Pick discs for the terrain. Many of these courses are wooded and hilly. If you’re still building a bag, our guide to disc golf flight numbers explains which discs are easiest to control.
• Respect private courses and shared parks. Blue Ribbon Pines is on private property, and Bunker Hills shares its paths with bikers and walkers.
