Pros:

+ first 7 holes are pretty good and fun. not hard to navigate, tee signs are present for most

Cons:

-"designed" in 1997 and looks like it hasn't been touched since
- the holes up the side of the cliff are incredibly dangerous. Who is this course designed for? It's unplayable for children, older folks, anyone overweight, afraid of heights, etc.
-seems like back 9 is just designed as a way to get to hole 18, which is one of the dumbest things I've ever encountered on a disc golf course. A rock, not a pad for run up, of which you throw from the top of a 300ft+ cliff, down to a valley about 300 ft out, might as well be a blind shot that could go anywhere and hit someone below
-borderline unplayable in wind
-scavenger hunt navigation
-after you play 18, you have to scale down the side of this cliff, which is not a nice way to finish a round

Other Thoughts:

this isn't really a disc golf course; it's a gimmick with some baskets that badly needs a re-design and some renovations. The first 7 holes show some promise, and it just gets worse from there. It really does feel like a place where someone could die.

Pros:

-What great scenery
-Unique shots you will never see anywhere else.
-Signs are very detailed to where the hole is compared to the tee.

Cons:

-It can take upwards of 20 minutes to find the next tee.
-The map is not correct at the entrance of the course.
-No tee pads

Other Thoughts:

My wife and I only made it through 12 holes on this course before marking it off our list as a waste. We walked around looking for tees more than we actually were able to play disc golf. The map being incorrect was frustrating and the signs were near impossible to see when put on the ground. The concept was fantastic and the holes were very well placed. I wish they could just put it all together and make it a great course.
