One of the best mountain courses in the world 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 28, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The longer and harder of two beautiful courses each with their own personality. There is no other mountain course out there that is so well maintained. It's mowed weekly, has fair fairways and rough roughs. It will test every shot in your arsenal, from 200 foot tight liners, risk/reward par 3s, and par fours that demand strategic shots and smart golf.

The course layout is spot on and does a great job of keeping a feeling of exclusivity and immersion of nature. Even on crowded days you'll feel like you're the only people on your own private nature course. The views are absolutely breathtaking.

Big tee pads and great, orange banded baskets

There is no cell service, so disc golf is the only thing that exists while you're there.

Cons:

There is no cell service.

There are no amenities near by. The closest place to purchase food or beverages is a gas station that's 15 - 20 minutes away.

Other Thoughts:

Bohart really is my favorite place on the planet. I'm two states away now but still make sure to come back for disc golf vacations 3 - 4 times a year.

I'm counting the days until my next trip back to disc golf heaven.

Mountain Paradise 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 30, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is one of the most scenic courses I have ever played. With a mixture of technical and longer shots, this course will satisfy players of all levels. There are shots with elevation changes and tight fairways. New baskets and nice teepads. Mowed fairways. Lots of rough to get into trouble.

Cons:

It is easy to get lost on a few holes the first time, but after that it is pretty easy to navigate.

Other Thoughts:

A lot of work went into the planning of both the Upper and Lower courses. Also the constant maintaining of the course is truly evident. The scenery is amazing. The course is very challenging. These are all things that make the Upper and Lower course at Bohart a world class course. I live 8 hours away, but it is so worth the drive to play this course. What an experience.

One of the best in the West 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Scenic and challenging course that brings me 1000 miles to Bozeman to play. You need to play smart to stay on fairways, shot placement is favored over raw distance, and the elevation changes adds further interest.

Cons:

Hopefully this course won't become a victim of its own popularity. I'm not sure the mountain soils and vegetation could take the pounding of intense use, but for now it looks great.

Other Thoughts:

Signage from one hole to another needs more work, but I'm quibbling.

Mowed fairways on a mountain course!? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 8, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Bohart Ranch is a place meant for disc golf. It is in the mountains above Bozeman, MT, a great town. The scenery is breathtaking and the course has a really fun design including a lot of fun par 4s.

The fairways are mowed and beautiful. It seems odd to be playing on such nice grass surrounded by trees and mountains, but Bohart Ranch makes it happen.

Nice Discatcher baskets, nice concrete tees.

Arrows to point you to the next tee.

The views are excellent. It is so refreshing and meditative to play disc golf surrounded by mountains.

You gotta make it to Bohart Ranch to play!

Cons:

There is a hole number at each teepad, but no tee signs yet. I'm sure they will put up nice ones soon, Bohart Ranch doesn't mess around.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Manicured fairways, unbelievable views and technical top level holes.

Cons:

None

Other Thoughts:

By far my favorite course in the world. The course demands focus and dicipline to shoot well. There are no poke and hope holes, every hole is fair but extremely difficult. Bring your A game and your camera, this place is beautiful!

Upper = World Class 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 1, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Upper is now Par 63 - 7484'
Brand New DGA Mach III Baskets
Brand New 5' x 12' Concrete Teepads.
Mown grass fairways in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.
Fairways and Shots are fair. Rough is rough.
This course has come into its own over the last 3 years. Slash piles are mostly gone due to considerable work by locals as well as a very motivated property owner.
Upper is now a polished showpiece in the Rockies.
The only thing even close is Conifer in Colorado.
Upper has seen many tweaks and it is now fair and balanced. The "tweener" holes have been adjusted and now the course plays accurately. Tunnel shots and big open air bombs are abundant but all need to be played with accuracy and respect. As mentioned, the fairways are fair and the rough is rough - by design.
Even at this length accuracy reigns supreme. If you can throw 500' it wont matter cause you have to be accurate. 10-15' off line on Upper Bohart will make scores rise.
This is a work of art in Disc Golf design and Beauty.

Cons:

Signage is still in the works. As soon as it is complete - Spring 2015 there will be no cons to the Upper course.

Other Thoughts:

Seclusion.
-Home to the new Elite event - Rocky Mountain Championships!
-Views - BIG Views of the wonderful Bridger -Range including Bridger Ski resort
-Silence.
-Polish.
Hole separation - each hole secluded from the other.
