Pros:
My three pros:
- Epic mountain disc golf - hands down. Possibly more scenic than cross creek, winter park, A basin, Summit county etc. For me that makes this course an absolute destination.
- I dont know what the other reviewers are talking about; I came into this place expecting a dinker course that has been neutered into a 2nd pitch and putt. That is not the case - this is a real course that begins with a 500+ft drive on hole 1. There are several more big bombers and I think 3 total par 4's. Only 1 hole was lass than 200' and it wasnt exactly a gimme due sloped green. I felt challenged appropriately on almost all holes and if I hit my line I had a chance at birdie. I can only imagine the folks complaining about the shortened holes are the guys that can throw 400' off of 4ft long dirt tee pad - I am certainly not one of those so I appreciated the better tees over an extra 50' of hole length. Final takeaway: this course is still legit and most importantly FUN.
- Baskets are all very nice discatcher upgrades over those used on the putter course, very nice signs exist at all holes showing basket location, distance and par. Another really nice addition is the 'Next tee' signs that guide you from hole to hole without ever needing a map. This made for a fantastic walk back down to the base with a little frisbee throwing added in. The only ammenity lacking here was concrete tees and possibly more benches at tee areas.

Cons:
My three cons:
- The dirt teepads are consistently the downfall of every ski resort course Ive played so far. The whole draw of the course is to bomb big downhill shots but that can be extra difficult to accomplish off of slopey, rooty, rocky, short, dirt tees. To me, this is the intrinsic flaw of ski resort courses that wont install concrete tees. With permanent tees this course rating jumps to a 4 in my opinion.
- There is a long walk after hole 18 to get back to the base of the resort.
- Mountain bikers and hikers are everywhere and really come into play on about 1/3rd of the holes - particularly around 17 & 18. I played right when the lift opened and the mountain was still pretty quiet so I didnt have to hardly wait at all, but by noon the bikers had taken over and could slow down your last couple of holes.

Other Thoughts:
I am so glad I didnt let the past reviews stop me from coming out and having a blast at 10-3 @ CB. This place is absolutely worth a play.
The putter course at the top was a fun warmup and probably the closest I will ever come to perfect round after 'birdying' 17 of the 18 holes. The ski lift ride up was fantastic and even after riding it up 5 times it never got old. The lift is expensive for a single ride (~25$) so I paid 55$ for the all day pass and brought my mountain bike to ride after playing the courses. This made for an incredibly awesome day of discs and bikes that I hope others will get the chance to try as well.

Pros:
Beautiful surroundings
Well marked transitions between holes

Cons:
This is the most difficult and longest course I've played, and probably ever will play. We lost 3 out of the 6 discs we rented. You'll be playing on a ski hill in summer, with brush, streams, hills, etc. If you can get past that, it's a wonderful course.
