Hansen Park, New Brighton, Minnesota
Hansen Park in New Brighton (map)Directions from Highway 694

The Hansen Park course varies from the posted course layout, although I have been told that the dirt teeboxes will soon be replaced by asphalt in the near future. This morning was a great morning to play, although the course handed me a pretty high score. With some short obscured holes, a few long-range open holes, and some tough tunnel shots, this is an interesting and challenging course.
A strong point of interest on this course is the sinage on the tees. It points the direction of the hole, and lists the par and distance. This is expecially helpful for first-time players, and novices like myself appreciate knowing the distance to the hole. Only in knowing the distances can I begin to understand how disc choice can greatly impact overall play hole by hole.
