Linear and in need of maintenance 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 8, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Close to Sequim, and right off the highway.
Hole 9 has an interesting water hazard near the pin.
Straightforward course concept

Cons:

Course is overgrown with 4 ft tall grass along holes 2, 3, 4, & 5. No mowed fairway for any of them.
The tee pads and pins are difficult to locate because of both the tall grass and how closely packed in all the fairways are.
Highway noise can make talking with your group difficult.

Other Thoughts:

My wife lost my one of my discs in the overgrown tall grass :(

Long for a niner at least... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 11, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Sequim is pronounced "Skwim". There's my introduction.

Equipment: The baskets catch fine. End of equipment pros.

Navigation: There's a map in the kiosk when you pull in. Take a picture of it. Some of the holes have a map attached to the basket too, but many of these were torn or missing. One plus is that the baskets have very nice number plates on them, so you know if you're throwing to the right hole once you get there... And that basket you saw on your left when you pulled in? That's 1. The basket right by the 1 pad? That's 9. So you can just keep on playing if you so desire it.

Design: I guess the value of the design of this course really depends on what type of game you have. A lot of the baskets can't be seen from the teepad, and the small forest of Christmas trees that dot the property really do challenge you and guard the pins well. So there's your design pro. It can be challenging. And there are line options. There aren't really any holes that demand an anhyzer, but several demand a hyzer line and others give you different options. So this is nice, because you can play the course differently each time.

Cons:

Equipment: The baskets are cheap and tall. I'm not sure if the height is a con or not, but it's definitely different. And the teepads, while bordered with rocks, are just slippery bits of mud or piles of dust depending on what time of year you're playing here.

Navigation: Without a map, this course gets confusing. And the property is so similar that half the time you aren't even sure if you're throwing at the right basket until you get there.

Design: Okay, good. I can finally open this review up. You thought I was finally going to write a short one, didn't you? Nope. The design of this course is kind of in between. It's longer than most niners, and even includes a par 4 (if you ignore the sign that says all holes are par 3 and instead go by this site). This is actually kind of cool. So it's aimed at a slightly higher level of player. But the property doesn't fit for good players, because none of the trees are more than 10' high. So all you have to do is throw a high hyzer for 1. Then do it again for 2. And 3. And so on. There's no variation if you're throwing the high lines. And if you are throwing the disc lower than 10' off the ground? Well, then you throw hole 1: A hyzer shot with OB left. Then hole 2: A hyzer shot with OB left. Then hole 3: A straighter shot with OB left. Then you crisscross the property for a bit, throw a super boring and wide open hole 8 past the playground, and finish out with hole 9: A hyzer shot with OB left. And right. And water. I think hole 9 is really the only hole here worth stopping for, and let's be honest... No single hole on a niner is worth stopping for. I guess my problem with this course is that it's too easy for advanced players, and too hard (long) for beginners. So who's the target audience?

Other Thoughts:

Any time I play a course that's right off of a highway or a main thoroughfare, I view it as a potential "stretch your legs" course. And that's what this is, as long as it's not a Sunday. But if you're in the area, you're probably going somewhere close to Port Townsend. If you can hold your leg stretching for 20-30 minutes, go to Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park is worth multiple rounds. This one isn't really even worth one. So yes. If I lived in Sequim I'd play this in the evening and go to Lincoln on the weekends. But if I'm just passing by, I'm not even slowing down to see if these baskets are even still here.
