Pros:
The course takes advantage of the unique surroundings of being located on a mountain ski resort. You will experience a lot of distinctive layouts here simply due to the location of the course, something other courses just can't offer. The tee boxes and baskets are all in excellent shape. The tee signs are very detailed, which is extremely important here. Be sure to pay close attention as it is easy to walk off course, or shoot at the wrong basket (which I did on hole 8). The tee signs also list different par for amateurs and pros. It is nice that the course designers put this extra thought in regarding what amateurs can achieve. The scenery is fantastic, and the variety from hole to hole is good. I had the course to myself on both my visits.
Cons:
I found myself slightly lost a few times while on the course. Next Tee signs/arrows would be a welcome addition at, or near, the baskets. The next tee is pointed out on the tee sign, but by the time I played the hole, it was easy to get disoriented and be lost, and wandering up and down the mountain is not my idea of fun; playing the course as designed is challenging enough on the body. A nice online map would be appreciated.
Since the primary business here is skiing, the tee pads are located in, or are bordering wooded areas, so searching for discs may occupy a part of your day. The wooded areas are full of thorns and poison ivy, so be on the lookout. (There is even a disclaimer on hole 1 that the course is not responsible for poison ivy contraction).
During my first visit, I did not play hole 11 because I couldn't make sense of the layout. After my drive, I had no idea which way to go because there were woods all around. I eventually found the basket and now understand how to play the hole, but at the time, I was very confused. Also, be sure not to go to hole 15 after hole 7, pay attention to the hole numbers on the signs to stay on course.
Other Thoughts:
I am not going to list it as a con, but you better be in good shape to play here. I played the mountainside course for the first time on a 90 degree day immediately after I played the original course (like an idiot, I forgot water). I was completely drained by the end of the day, and I exercise regularly. Holes 16 & 18 make it all worth it as you launch your drive down the mountain, awesome visuals. You won't find these elevation changes on many other courses. Most holes have some good distance to them, so there are good opportunities to air out some drives. Another reviewer summed it up best: The course is a lot of fun, very challenging, yet very fair. I recommend this course, it is an experience to be had.
