Fun...just a flat out fun course to play. The course literally starts from the bar and grill patio and you throw 2 downhill ace runs in #1 and #2. This is followed by a slew of fun shots that meander up and around the hillside. Each hole can be aced but offer enough elevation or fairway to keep it interesting. 9 finishes with a worthy hole that cuts through an alley in the woods to an open plateau jutting uphill a bit. I can't exaggerate the beauty of playing disc golf on top of a secluded mountain and being allowed to drink your beverages from the bar as you do. The course is open at night (Saturdays) with the ski lights allowing for night golf.
I threw hyzers, anhyzers, and straight shots as I negotiated the mountain terrain. This course is simpler and way easier than the other Beasts of Blue (Base Course and Peak) but it is loaded with fun ace chase disc golf shots. Tee Pads were concrete and perfect and the baskets were exceptional. Maintenance was impeccable. I don't usually get excited about a niner but this one is a blast. Have a beer and a meal get up play a round....have another drink...relax enjoy yourself it's $5 to play all day!

Not a world class challenge, it's meant to be a warm-up or cool down after the grueling rounds offered by Peak and Base courses. Par is probably under 27 for most experienced players. Wind can still be a factor on top of the mountain so be prepared with stable/overstable glideless plastic. Not much wrong with the course other than lack of true challenge.

I don't think playing it first is a good idea...your legs and body will need all the strength it has to endure the other courses at Blue Mountain.I would encourage all players who had a miserable experience losing discs and throwing high scores on the other courses to play slopeside afterwards as a means to restore your love and passion for the sport. It's just plain fun.

I think that Slopeside 9 is a great addition to the Blue Mountain family. This is a very beginner friendly course and can be used as a great warm up for either of the other 2 courses on site. 1 Concrete tee pad and 1 basket on each of the 9 holes. A great course to work on approach shots. There is some elevation and most of the shots are open so you can work the disc in either direction.

No major cons. They could make 9 more.

You could use this course as a great Ace race or par 2 course. Very fun way to start the day at Blue Mountain
