Good Mtn course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Beautiful mountain scenery, ace runs, concrete tee pads, mostly clean, plenty of friendly discers, and gnomes. The wooded part of this course is more technical while the open front nine has the scenic views. Good beginner course, great recreational level course and highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun course to play.

Cons:

I've played hundreds of rounds out here and the course gets boring to me at times. I enjoy the challenge of the sport and progressing my game, but there are plenty of times where the course left me feeling stagnant and unchallenged. Simply put, it's my opinion that the course is too short and not challenging enough for my skill level which is around 950+ rating. I play the course about 2-4 times a month and I'm good with that. Parking lot gets too crowded at times, and even the course can be too crowded on rare occasions.

Other Thoughts:

I'd love to see alternate tees, a drop box, score cards with course and area dg info.

Gorgeous, but surprisingly short 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

- One of the prettier courses you'll ever play. Surrounded by mountains, old forests, and a clear-running stream, with great elevation changes on the front 9 especially.
- Two 9-hole loops, one open, one wooded.
- Requires a decent variety of shot shapes.
- I'm really glad that hole 9 exists, for at least one opportunity to open up the taps and give a full send.
- Nice balance of challenge and fun, you can run through this course quickly for fun, but also come back to study and practice a variety of shots.
- Did I mention that this is a stunningly beautiful course?

Cons:

- With how much land was available, and how open the front 9 is, it's surprising how short most of these holes are.
- If the course is crowded, especially for a tournament, safety could be an issue, as quite a few baskets are close to teepads.
- With how foggy it often is in the mountains, beware of slick teepads.

Other Thoughts:

I typically don't like short courses. But this one is so scenically gorgeous, and requires such a variety of (mostly short) shots, that I'd come back here over and over again if I could. This is likely my very favorite sub-5000-ft. course.

Home Town 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Tees are easy to find.

Nice place to practice drives.

Hole 6 has a nice setup for the drive.

Maps and scorecards are provided at a kiosk by hole 1 as well as a practice basket.

Cons:

Could use a little more love on the course.

Other Thoughts:

Love how the front 9 is open and the back 9 is heavily wooded

Fun spot 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great open shots down the fairway and Some short but challenging holes on the back 9. Overall beautiful scenery and the distances from the t box to the pin are not so far that it is unreasonable for even a novice to grab a few pars. :)

Cons:

A few of the holes on the back 9 could do with out So many trees between the t box and the pin. But the back 9 looks new and I had a blast playing all 18.

Other Thoughts:

maybe bring your bug spray and consider trying an overhand of the t box on a few of the super wooded holes on the back 9. Great to see a course in this area cuz i visit here often and will play a ton here.
