College Course Is Defined By Creek Throughout! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

The College of Southern Idaho shares this course with the beautiful city Frontier Park next door. The course starts in the city park before entering the college campus on # 4. There is a big course rules sign here warning against alcohol/drugs on campus. It then plays our through the campus to # 8 and then reverses back through the campus and then back into the park.
The whole course is played on lovely, green grass with mature trees and just enough elevation to keep it interesting. The fast flowing irrigation ditch/creek is in play on more than half of the holes and can really get into your head. As others have said, you can usually fish your disc out 15-20 feet down stream as the fast flowing waters do tend to carry them along. There were two kids in the ditch fishing for discs mostly using their feet as feelers.
The course has Discatcher baskets with the yellow bands. There are concrete tee pads of differing size and shape but signage is kinda hit or miss.
I have to agree with my homie from back home in Washington, sillybiz, that the final holes were my favorite, too. I loved # 15 with it's basket set in a lovely little area of the trees.
# 16 was a pretty ACE run through the trees.

Cons:

The creek/ditch is ever present, on many of the holes here. It messes with your head, forces you to take different lines than you might like and most definitely sucks in many a disc.
Navigation was a little confusing at times and clear and easy in other places.
Tee pads were a little short on a couple of holes.
The street on the right # 5 and National Guard area (# 4) with razor fence aren't the best designs around.

Other Thoughts:

The course is so defined by the creek running throughout. Because it always seems to be lurking nearby, waiting to gobble up your discs, it truly never leaves your thoughts. Even when it doesn't totally come into play, it's still there, just a few feet behind past the baskets on # 10 and # 12.
I'm just happy I managed to stay our of the creek although I finally threw one over it on # 18. Luckily, it landed on the other side.

Dodge the ditch. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 17, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

• Beautiful park with well-manicured lawn and large trees.
• Relatively uncrowded.
• Irrigation canal creates a nearly constant obstacle (bring your floaters!).
• Decent mix of holes lengths.
• Enough trees to require moderate accuracy.
• Easy navigation between holes.
• Good signs and tee pads (although many have been stolen lately).

Cons:

• Irrigation canal will eat your discs if your aim is bad or you don't throw a floater.
• Could use a few more long holes, but space is limited.
• Basket 17 was recently stolen, so most players shoot back to 15 as a replacement hole.
• Alternate pins would add a lot to this course.

Other Thoughts:

I played in October and the fall colors were great. This course is ideal for Innova Champion Blizzard discs (<137 grams) and other floaters. I have 8 floaters and use them all here. The canal is OB and frequently forces you to shoot around it. The canal is deep and murky enough to swallow a disc. Some players hate this, but I like it because it really gets in your head and requires precise aim. This course is 90 minutes from my house and I love to combine it with Rock Creek for an awesome day trip.

SSShhhhh! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 7, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Large parking lot, restrooms, water, nice tee signs, shaped concrete pads, easy navigation, course flows good, great use of creek for hazards and O.B., well maintained grounds, little underbrush, friendly locals, never crowded and FREE!

Cons:

Sprinklers were on throughout the course starting on Hole#1 tee pad! The O.B. area next to hole #4 has razor wire fence and military equipment with posted signs asking not to trespass. On hole #5 if you take the hyzer route your line is over a road and has potential hazards.

Other Thoughts:

This is a real fun course that satisfies the advanced player with 16 out of the 18 holes risking the water hazards and offers short lines for the beginner. Most of the time if you fall a victim of the creek you can usually find your disc 15-20 feet downstream from where it entered.The course has great flow and is lightly wooded with tasteful pin placements. The few times that I have played here it has not been crowded and only a short distance from the Hwy making it a great oppurtunity to stretch your legs and get a quick game in and a break from the road.

Nice course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

The couse is very well maintained, the tee signs are informative and its a nice layout with some pretty sweet shots. I like the use of the water and like the use of trees.

Cons:

Well, the use of the water is both a pro and con. I bet once you play the course a bit, the water isnt that much of a hazard, but it was pretty intimidating the first time. Also, and this is just MY take on it being who I am, there is no alcohol or tobacco on the course and being that was over 100 degrees when we played it, I really wanted to drink a beer. But it was fun and I shot pretty well (-6)
