Excellent combination of distance and technicality

Great overall flow with both 9's looping back to starting area

Six par 4's that play as two shot holes for the vast majority of players

Some elevation in play, plus or minus 5 to 10 feet on around half of the holes

Good mix of L to R, R to L, and straight tee shots

Trees in play on the majority of shots outside 75' of the basket

Good sized concrete tees

Tee signs with basic info and graphic of the hole, plus some WW II history

Single tee pads and basket positions (there are a couple of alternative pins, but they rarely see play)

Tree kicks off the fairway can be very punishing as most trees in the deeper rough have not been trimmed

Entry fee to the park is now $7 per vehicle

Ground can be a little uneven in spots

Very few penalty strokes, not a lot of OB in play. This could be considered either a pro or a con.

The lack of alternate tees and pins would be a larger negative if there weren't four other courses on site for some variety.

I have birdied every hole, except hole 18, multiple times, and I'm certain I have bogeyed every hole, except hole 16, multiple times. This is a course that if I'm playing my best, double digits under par is possible. If my game is off however, double digits over par is also possible. I cannot think of another course I have played where such a wide scoring spread is possible for me.

AWOL is the most well-rounded course at Farragut State Park, and, for me, has the largest fun factor of the five courses.

Combination of a little open play but lots of forests. I found the course challenging but fair. Looking at the various lanes to try and take was a blast. No garbage on the course but I did wish twice on the course that I could find a garbage can next to a tee box. Perhaps I just missed them.

A couple of large holes that were ankle breakers

Amazing complex as a whole. Thanks to Idaho State Parks and Rec.

-Lots of long, low ceiling, tunnel shots through the beautiful forest of Farragut State Park.
-Well defined fairways, and rough that is playable from for the most part.

-Not much elevation change
-A few more altered putting greens would be a plus.

Where to start... Perhaps the most intimidating hole one in the northwest (certainly the most daunting I've come across). A very high risk to reward factor on several holes. Routes galore if you look with the right kind of eyes. Well balanced for all styles of throwing (backhand, sidearm, lefty righty). Distance is well balanced with long and short nicely mingled throughout. Well gaurded and well thought out pin placements. Narrow (seriously) fairways that reward the accurate and punish those who throw errant. Nice flat concrete pads at every tee. Hole 18 is destined to become a classic. Gorgeous doesn't hurt either.

Nothing that ruins it. Some debris still on course due to fairway manufacturing. Nowhere near what it was like at the very beginning and will probably cease to exist after the snow thaws. No clear directional labels to guide those unfamiliar with the layout. Umm, it will make you look bad if you don't bring your best. May still make you look bad even if you bring your best (it maybe better).

Well done to every person who had a hand in the design or helped build it. Its a very rewarding place to play when your on and still fun (to a point) when your off. Case in point. Went and threw a par three weeks ago with a wonderful birdy on the par four hole six. Went out to play a fundraiser last weekend and threw a five over on the same hole. Not for begining players. Its the best course within six hours of spokane. I highly recommend all to come play it. Be warned as it may bruise your ego once your done.

One of the toughest courses I've ever played in the trees, and I thought Wreckreator was difficult. Loved it. Looking forward to better signs and pads

Tough - don't bring the weak at heart. Little or no elevation changes. But fun!

Still a work in progress - way to go Idaho St Parks and rangers.
