Dream Time Ranch is worth the drive 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 18, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- This is a private course and is really well designed with a great variety of shots and terrain.
- The host, Scott, is a nice guy who goes out of his way to make sure his guests are take care of. He gave a thorough explanation of each hole and provided one of the most descriptive sheets I've seen with a course map and breakdown of each hole, including various approaches to try.
- There are 3 holes with spectacular views of the surrounding valley (4, and 10 & 12 if I recall)
- It's very secluded and remote, and Scott is probably open to accommodating special requests.
- Scott also has a nice gas grill, coolers, water, and picnic tables he provides. I wish we had known so we could have taken advantage of that grill inbetween rounds.
- There are at least 3-4 legit Ace run holes
- Good mix of forehand and backhand shots in the design.
- There are marked paths with white stakes to the next tee that makes it perfectly clear where you're going next, and there are only 3 blind shots where you can't see the basket from the tee (or close to it).

Cons:

- The course is a work in progress so there was only one tee box per hole, although Scott says additional (more challenging) tees are coming.
- The tee boxes were natural and a few were fairly short making it difficult to get a big wind-up. However, Scott says he's bringing pavers in soon to upgrade them.
- The pars were set to PDGA guidelines, but quite a few holes played easy because of length. i.e. Lots of birdies to be had.

Other Thoughts:

There's a bit of climbing to be done, and the elevation is somewhere over 9000' but it's not as grueling as some of the other courses in the area.

Bring grillables, and plan to stay all day and get 2 rounds in with lunch inbetween.
