This was a fun, different style of course than what I usually play. Most of the holes are on the shorter side and most of it plays though the woods requiring a more technical arsenal of throws vs just having a power game. On most holes there is usually more than one route to the tone pole (hole). Some of the more direct lines require the accuracy to navigate narrow windows creating many nice risk vs reward decisions. The other huge plus was how incredibly scenic the course is.

Finding the first tee was a bit of a problem but once found the first 9 holes were pretty straight forward and flowed well. There were some signs (looks like a sharpie on chipboard) but many were weathered and hard to read. With the signs we were able to navigate. However the back nine didn't have signs and it was easy to get off track. We spent so much time hunting for the tees and holes that when we couldn't find tee 15 after a short hunt we ended up skipping holes 15 and 16 because we were out of time.

This was our 1st time in the McCall area, we were on vacation. The weather was great but had to watch where we were stepping as the snow was still in runoff so some of the ground was muddy. I enjoyed the tone poles and while I would like to play with them from time to time I still prefer the modern chain baskets. I really like the required technicality of the course as it and the shorter holes gives me a chance to beat my son who can throw considerably farther than I. All in all we liked the course and would recommend it to any one vacationing in the area. We will definitely play it again next time we are in the area. Also a big "thank you" to the local who showed us where hole number one was.
