2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 8, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Challenging course where mid range accuracy is key. Definitly some par 4s and 5s cause it's just trees and you can't see the baskets from most tees. Pink arrows helped a lot. Tons of fun tho

Cons:

Not very well labeled and confusing at times.

Challenging, heavily wooded and picturesque 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 28, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Big arms with limited accuracy will be severely punished on this course. Straight, precise drives are a must at the Evergreen course.

Stunning forest sculpting fairways & greens draped with heavy moss will prompt many snapshots by all but the most jaded and perpetually negative players.

A wide variety of "lefty/righty" holes will make this course feel fair to players despite greens being well-guarded and blind in several (8?) cases. Ingenious signage will guide even the most directionally-challenged player from green to tee after every hole. Unless you cannot see the color hot pink.

Any bogey free round at this course is a major accomplishment. A round without a 4 is surely 1000-rated as long as a deuce or 3 happens.

Free parking on weekends allows miserly golfers 2 free days/week.

Seldom crowded, this course can usually be played in under an hour by decent players barring lost discs.

Copious shade keeps players cool even during the blazing hot hours of the day as we had during the major high pressure front we had late May 2017.

Cons:

Perhaps 3 holes total might count as "easy" (1, 3 & 6). But none of them are silly or boring.

Tee pads still need lots of work. Wettest winter on record made a few of them so soggy that they were barely functional for a few days.

Detritus from trees and limbs removed recently still clusters areas not far from flight paths, greens. Months of regular volunteering will remedy much of the clutter that often gobbles up drives that aren't far off line.

Signs are varied and confusing as of May 2017. Some new signs will alleviate any confusion for 1st-time visitors.

Other Thoughts:

Updated course info should reflect 17 distinct holes/baskets in 2017. Original hole 1 can be played before new #1 or after current #17 to achieve the canonized 18-hole milestone.

Par is at least 56 for this 18 hole format. Two holes are obvious par 4s, measuring 450+' through heavily wooded areas. No one will ever ace either hole, making it an obvious par 4 for those stuck in the 70s "everything's a par 3" mindset.

"New" Hole 7 is a brutal dog leg right that will see at least 10 times as many 4s, 5s, and 6s as deuces, so it's a borderline par 4. "Bonus hole #18" is 450' ish with hills, OB which plays to basket #2 and is also a borderline par 4.

New hole 14 (old 8?) is listed at 325 or so on the sign but easily measures 370 and plays 400 due to slightly uphill fairway. Easily 5 times as many 4s as deuces would be carded by top pros on this hole.

The remaining 13 holes can be reached with long, accurate drives.

Increase in play will help clear some of the underbrush on the 8 new holes.

Weekly random doubles starting around 9AM Sundays.

GEM best 9 hole I've played 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 5, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pristine beauty
Challenging fairways
Well manicured
Super fun

Cons:

When I'm playing a course like this, no negative thoughts were going through my head so no complaints here.

Other Thoughts:

I played Shelton Springs a couple days earlier which was the highest rated in the area but I actually had more fun at this course. If this course had elevation and water somewhere it would be epic. Just a great overall disc golf experience. One of a kind!

Evergreen June 2016 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 21, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Lots of tree obsticles, quiet, netting in spots, laid out well

Cons:

no map at the tees to show where you are throwing (can't see a lot of the chains from the tee), tree and bush brush isn't cleared out in spots...could be easy to lose a disc as time goes on.

Other Thoughts:

one of my favorites in the area.
