Pros:
After playing the flat green holes of Suicide Flats, Shark Tooth Mountains is a complete change of pace.
The lower holes (1-3, 15-18) play over grass and through trees on mostly flat ground. It is holes 4 - 14 that really define this course. These holes feature extreme uphill, downhill, and sidehill alignments that will really test your game.
Hole distances vary a good bit, with uphill shots being shorter and the downhill shots stretching things out.
Good concrete teepads and excellent baskets.
Holes 4 and 5 are steeply uphill, and depending on where your drive lands you may have trouble getting to your disc, let alone getting stable footing for your next drive. This isn't rocky ground like Diamond X, but rather very steep soil covered with wet grass. There were times that I was taking two steps up and sliding back one as I approached my lie. It is amazing how much distance you lose when trying to throw upward at those angles.
Hole 7 turns the tables with a "top of the world" shot where you get to see how your disc flies as it drops about 100 feet. Watch where you land as it looks different once you're down there!
Hole 10 is a great shot around a large water tank mando, and Hole 12 drives up to a basket set into a drainage with ground sloping up on either side of the basket.
Hole 13 is the other crazy uphill hole, with the basket on a steep ridge. Good luck landing this one without a big rollaway!! It is followed by the other "top of the world" shot which is Hole 14.
There is no woody vegetation or trees on any of the mountain holes, but when I played it in mid-February the tall thick grass provided all of the disc finding mystery that I needed.
Cons:
The mountain holes (4-14) test mainly your ability to drive steeply up or down. With no trees or obstacles in play the challenge is one-dimensional. This is not to say that the challenge isn't extreme, because it is.
There are no tee signs at all. There are metal frames for signs so they may be in the works, but the frames are empty. Navigation is also a bit tricky in spots. With the map I was able to locate all of the tees, but without the map it would have been tough to know where to look.
Other Thoughts:
This is an unusual and challenging course. With good tee signs and perhaps some navigational aids it would be a solid 4.
I played on a calm day. I'll bet the wind would really put the teeth into Shark Tooth Mountain.
