Reviewed: Played on:Sep 3, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

All the amenities. A clubhouse, bar, indoor plumbing, signs, good tee surfaces, etc. You can even rent a cart. 18 really cool throws from the tee. Scenic vistas and wildlife. Much manicured grass. Cheap at $5.

Cons:

This course is a panoply of all the rookie design mistakes: multiple crossing fairways, too many blind hole locations, hidden or unintuitive connections to next tees, blind landing zones adjacent to tall grass, fairways in ball golf blind landing zones, long walks between holes, no revisiting the club house during the round, repeatedly walking downhill to throw uphill, every tee throw is dialed in for 350 feet of power, not much consideration for how the hole plays - except for how cool the tee throw is.

Other Thoughts:

If you want a three or four hour moderately strenuous hike punctuated by cool disc golf drives, or want to drive a golf cart on roller coaster terrain and play some disc golf, you could enjoy this course. If anyone else is around (disc golfers or ball golfers) keep your eyes open and ears perked.
