The Preserve – Black Bear in Clearwater, Minnesota, stands as a premier Leiviska design that demands precision amidst dense woods. Since its establishment in 2015, this 18-hole, 9,800-foot par-64 layout has carved a reputation for challenging players with significant elevation changes and a demanding 150-foot elevation profile. The course blends technical tight fairways with open bomb-outs, requiring a potent mix of distance and pinpoint accuracy to navigate the severe OB lines. With a unique distribution of eight par-threes and ten par-fours, each shot feels calculated. This reputation for difficulty is validated by the recent 2025 Preserve Championship, where top competitors Gannon Buhr and Silva Saarinen vied for victory, cementing the course's status as a must-play for serious disc golfers.
