Cancer, Lyme Disease, and broken ankles

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 19, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are baskets, older baskets that are barely holding on. Yup that's about it.

Cons:

Pretty sure I developed a rare form of cancer from playing under all of these power lines. OK so no evidence actually exists that power lines cause cancer but it fits with my review title so sue me!

I didn't find any ticks on me but I waded through waste high grass expecting to find a few, luckily I think it's a bit early in the season for that - would not play in July or August.

As far as broken ankles there are a lot of holes, rocks, and other things that want you to trip on and since the grass is so thick you can't always see it coming.

Wide open holes, flat, some as long as 800+ feet. If hell exists this is the disc golf course you go to when you die to play over and over again for eternity.

Other Thoughts:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9 baskets in an open field 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 20, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nine fully functional baskets (Mach 2s)
-Metal tee signs
-Easy to navigate
-You will likely have the course to yourself
-Wide variety of hole lengths: a few ace runs, all the way up to a Par 5

Cons:

-No tee pads. Basically, just go find the tee sign and throw from somewhere in the general vicinity.
-Almost no obstacles. It's a flat field with giant powerlines overhead and zero trees. Hole 1 at least uses a powerline tower as a mando, but holes 2-8 really don't have any vertical obstacles to contend with. Hole 9 makes you split the gap between two powerline towers on your approach shot, but that gap is huge (>60').
-Very, very flat. And I get it - this is the Wasatch Front. Land is either mountainous or uber flat. But a course with zero trees and zero elevation change…that's not really a disc golf course, it's fieldwork that just happens to have baskets to aim at.
-Although the ground was mowed when I played, I have heard this is not always the case. And there were nearly as many thorns, goat heads, nettles, and thistles as there were tufts of grass.

Other Thoughts:

I appreciate that the HOA decided to use the land to put in 9 baskets. If I lived in the neighborhood, then I would assuredly use the course for fieldwork. Beggars can't be chooser, ya know? And the course is located a fair hike away from any other disc golf options. That being said, it's not really a course. It's a field that can't be used for anything else due to the giant powerlines running overhead.
