Much like my Frisbee game (and my golf game), my disc golf game is utterly, horribly terrible. Admittedly though, my first foray into the world of disc golf provided a few good laughs (at myself) and one or two proud moments when I got lucky and threw the disc with something one might even call good aim.

Not familiar with disc golf? Neither was I until this year. It’s also known as Frisbee golf or frolf, and much like you would assume by its name, you throw a flying disc into a basket. If, unlike me, you’re a decent throw with the Frisbee, you’ll probably enjoy this game. Check out one of the following disc golf courses and let me know how you fare. If you’re a veteran disc golfer, clue in a newbie: which one is the best?

The 18-hole disc golf course at South St. Paul’s Kaposia Park is apparently one of the busiest disc golf courses in the Twin Cities, right along with the wooded Acorn Park in Roseville. After your disc golf came at North Valley Park in Inver Grove Heights, stay for a picnic, too.

If you find yourself loving the disc golf action, you can stock up with supplies at Fairway Flyerz, a disc golf store 3/4 mile away from Acorn Park.
