Bear River City Park plays along the outskirts of a playground/cattle pen combination (yes seriously, it is Utah after all) with very few obstacles aside from hole 6. There isn't much as far as elevation but there is a little mound on the side of the park that the designers brought into play multiple times. In fact they have a few tee pads throwing to this basket on the mound, there are technically only 7 baskets here with a few 9 tee pads. Hole 3 is on the shorter side of things but with a tree branch pretty much blocking the straight path to the basket and a nasty disc eating ravine on the left side this hole does make you think a bit on how to shape your shot and take the higher percentage play. Really nice, new, unvandalized baskets to throw at is a nice bonus.

It's impossible to navigate without using that other app that shall not be named as there are no tee pads at least recognizable ones anyhow. You're throwing from the dirt or grass where the GPS directs you and without it you would just be guessing where you're supposed to throw from or making it up as you go along. I'm not a fan of digging into my pocket after every basket to get my phone out so the GPS can search for the next pad. Some tee pads and signs would really make this place much more playable than it is currently.

The holes themselves besides hole 3 are pretty open and don't have much to think about off the tee. It's weird that they tried to cram 9 holes in here with 7 baskets, another 'magic number' problem where you try to fit a number of predetermined holes (usually 9, 18 or a running of 3 e.g. 12, 21, 27, etc.) into a space that can't handle the magic number. I'd rather play 5 good holes than 1 good hole and 8 bad to average holes.

The course is new and not as beat in as it should be. I think with tee pads and signs this course at least becomes playable but will never be an amazing course, the piece of land it sits on won't allow that. I think the design is fine up until around hole 5 and onward when it gets muddled and probably needs a rework IMO. I really don't see my rating ever going above 2, just not in the cards for this little place. If you live in the area go have fun here but for everyone else besides the hardcore course baggers you should stay away, just too many other, better courses in the area.
