West Central Idaho's Best Kept Secret 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 14, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A great mash-up of super techy shots, fun blind shots, killer ace runs, two looong awesome par fours and great mix of right and lefty drives. One of the most scenic backdrops, you will know what I mean as soon as you roll up to the meadow... Great secluded spot with excellent camping opportunities everywhere in and around the course. Mccall Area Disc Golfers is our dedicated facebook page representing just that, and we do a great job of maintenance, trash control, and whatever else we can do to make this the funnest course EVER !

Cons:

A local logging company was contracted to do prescribed fire preventive thinning last fall, wich was actually great, (this being a more guerilla type course, there were many small saplings and needless brush, shrubs etc. that would make it hard to find discs often) but they left all of it on the ground where they fell it, instead of creating neat clean slash piles... This however dose not affect your game, it just makes walking through some of the holes a small pain, but we are planning to group together this weekend to clear it ourselves as much as posibble.

Other Thoughts:

This is your classic grass-roots guerilla course that is evolving into the pride and joy of McCall's underground disc golfing elite crew. PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT !!! (that means cigarette buts & beer cans !) If you come play, PLEASE review it on here, THANX !

2+ years drive by

Pros:

This is one of the coolest courses i have ever played. There is alot of different shots that can be played on almost every hole. Almost all the course is in the trees but dont let that discourage this from playing it, there is alleys through the trees so no more than 3 holes are super technical. We have pole dingers that make quit a big noise in the quitness of the forest so if there is any doubt that you wont be able to hear it when you hit the dinger on putt or ace lets just say half of valley county can hear this!

Cons:

Well i dont really have any cons about this course i guess im just bias seems how 4 of my friends n i built this course, but i guess the only thing is we dont have baskets but this course is less than 6 months old so eventually when disc golf takes off in mccall we know we will be able to get local sponsors to get basket...but til then we will be ringing the dinger making some of our own "mountain music" WOOOOO!

Other Thoughts:

This was all set up by local disc golfers who didnt have anywhere locally to play and got SICK N TIRED of the battle golf in boise where it takes 5 hrs to play 18 holes and wait on every shot...so if laid back forest golf with a beutiful views and occasionally deer walking through the course is what your after BBDGC is right up your alley. To anybody who has played CONIFER in CO. this course is right up there with it! We do have a ritual we started, anyone playing thier first round PLEASE sing the #18 dinger with you name and your score. so far we have aslmost 15 signatures n score so see how ya faired! See ya out there!

nice mountain course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well, I am a little biast since I am one of the people who built the course. The course has many different shots ranging from an uphill shot that can make or break your start to blind shots over a little knoll, to downhill, and then there are 2 par 4 shots that are legit par 4's. Overall, I think that the course is excellent. Its got many different shot opportunities on most of the holes and its not overly tough. Plus, the scenery is beutiful, A huge meadow that grow purple camas flowers in the summer and a view of Brundage Mt. ski resort only 2 miles away.

Cons:

The only con I know of is that you have to walk about 1/4 from the parking lot to get to hole 1. We are working on putting in another 9 holes to wrap the course around back to one. Maybe in the springtime that will happen, but until then, enjoy the walk and take in the scenery. You will be pleasantly surprised.
