Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very creative use of industrial art, artificial obstacles -- fencing, scrap metal, old oil tans, etc. The locals clearly put their hearts into this course. Stark wasteland location surrounded by desert, some local industry, and dozens of mountain bike routes on the nearby hills. The parking is on the dirt off the side of the road near a fence. No crowds. Indeed, nobody was there. Nice mailbox with map. Great arrows on circular pads showing direction of ther basket, and good plastic pointers on each basket showing direction to next tee. Stunning scenery.

Cons:

The place is without any shelter, and is very hot and sunny, with desert flies everywhere. Cacti/brambles/brush, 3-5 feet high, grow all over, making it hard to site the baskets from many of the tees. You need to know this course well to play it. There are no maps on the tees - just scribbled distance markers. The arroyo (20 foot deep gulch that surrounds the course) is not visible until you almost fall into it. Some baskets are tucked right up against it -- a nice idea if there were maps showing the placements. It is easy to lose a disc especially if you play solo, but I did not lose any in the end. If you like post-apocolyptic mood disc golf -- this is the course for you... I love the skulls on pikes that surround and warn the fast green on hole 16...

Other Thoughts:

The course could be good -- but the lack of diagrams for each hole, and the difficult routing make it just okay...
