Show some love for the hard workers at The Preserve and we’ll see you next month at the DGPT Doubles Championship!
Dear Minnesota Disc Golf Community,
We have been struggling with the issue of players not paying to play the Preserve for a while now, but it seems to be getting worse this season. We’re out here every day working tirelessly on these 160 acres to make all of these courses enjoyable for you. It’s hard to fathom how much effort and financial resources it takes to make this happen. But it’s becoming too much.
This place was built to be a sanctuary for disc golfers who want to throw in the most beautiful of river settings. However, too many people have been taking advantage of us, and we’re unsure on how to proceed. We don’t want to give up, but cannot continue to operate like this if people show up for the experience, but are not willing to pay the day pass for it.
Beyond unpaid rounds, we’ve also been actively dealing with multiple attempts to steal installed baskets & discs from the property.
Starting today 7/23/2026, the day pass will be $15. We don’t take this decision lightly, but with rising costs and ongoing issues of non-payment, it’s necessary to keep the preserve running.
So this is a call to all of you, please, if you love the Preserve like we do, come and support us. Or we may not be here next year.
Last night, after confronting someone who didn’t pay, our worker was threatened to be beaten up and the police had to be called. That individual has since been banned from the property and removed from the volunteer list for this year’s preserve doubles event.
Please, understand how important it is to the life of the Preserve, that if you come out here, pay your daily pass or get a season pass to support this place.
Thank you.
