Pros:

I am struggling to come up with any real positives for this course. Crested Butte is a pretty little town and I expected a good DG experience, but was disappointed.

There were some ups and downs that presented some challenge, but overall the course is squeezed into a too tight area.

Cons:

The course is wedged in between a residential street and a steep hillside. The course side of the street was solidly lined with parked cars for the homes on the other side of the street. Several basket were placed such that slightly long or errant throws could hit the cars. Other baskets were placed near the backs of homes or businesses and presented possibility of throwing into those areas.

The baskets had numbers on them (sometimes two numbers) but some didn't match the course map.

Teepads were non-existent and tee signs were poor as well. Course navigation was very difficult and we were not able to figure out many of the holes. Perhaps playing with a local guide would be the answer, but a first-time visitor will likely not be able to figure the course out.

Other Thoughts:

Perhaps in the off season the line of cars parked along the course edge would not exist, but the currently layout makes it difficult to aggressively play many of the holes.
