Video Tour: Shakopee Disc Golf Course

Before you journey to a new disc golf course it’s always a good idea to look at reviews and see pictures of the area to find out if it’s worth playing. Sometimes you might be pleasantly surprised. Other times you might be disappointed with either the simplicity of the course or the unkept fairways or the rough or eroding tees.

YouTuber Stephen Cain took a video of his round of disc golf in the spring of 2015. Check out how well he did:

Of course, playing disc golf is so much more enjoyable with other people to share it with, we’re glad this disc golf enthusiast took the time and made the effort to do a video overview of the Shakopee disc golf course. We enjoy our little hometown course and hope other people can find the fun in this sport.
