Great altitude variation, beautiful course, challenging but open. Very similar to Hogan.

All signs have been destroyed, DG tee-pads were a little eroded, but very playable. Markers for tee pads but some were missing hole number, got lost for a bit at 6-7.

Really cool basket placement, around granite and Oaks.

-Really loved the elevation changes here and the use of the rocks and trees in the landscape.
-Very nice variety of shots with some alternate lines available.
-Challenging, but not overly so for newer players. More OB and mandos could readily be added for tournaments.
-Who can resist memorable ridge top and downhill throws?
-Beautiful setting, even in a drought year with the lake quite low.
-Played the course in the late fall and the conditions were great - nice temps, low grass/weeds. I can imagine in the dead of summer it would be a completely different experience, but that's nature for ya.
-Liked that many of the baskets were permanently embedded in granite blocks/boulders. This made many of these baskets easier to spot from a distance. Nice touch.
-Camping on the other side of the lake (though oddly not noted in the info for the course).

Because this is a remote course, and I personally like the rawness and unmanicured nature of disc golf in general as opposed to ball golf courses, it's hard to be too nit picky and critical of this sweet course.

-Better durable tees, instead of sand. Didn't bother me much and I see hard surfaces as more of a necessity in well travelled/urban courses.
-Alt pin or tee locations would be a bonus to add versatility. But again, being less visited and remote, this really seems like a luxury here.
-Higher quality permanent signs. They appear in pics to have been better at one time (vandals?), but were laminated paper when I visited. Some posts were down on the ground. Also, didn't like that the distances on the signs were in yards while the map was in feet.
-"Next tee" signs would be helpful in a few places, though much of the course has good logical flow.

I would play this course again in a heartbeat when traveling thru the area. Locals (who are likely few and far between) are lucky to have this place to play, and if it weren't so remote (which is most definitely part of it's charm), I imagine tournaments would utilize this course regularly.

- 9 permanent holes
- tee signs are there
- elevation changes
- amazing views
- 9 temp placements are sweet

- hot weather brings snakes
- lots of hiking
- seasonal

Great course with the tourney we had. it was permanent 9 and a temp. 9. Fun course great views and some long holes. i miss my apache thats in the abyss of lake hensley but otherwise nice course as is better as an 18 hole.

Mixture of holes that will challenge the best. Beautiful scenic course with views of Hensley Lake and Yosemite. Concrete tees with new signs. 707' monster of a hole that is downhill. Great change in elevation.

Can be confusing when starting the course. Hole 2 is to the left. High grass can make it difficult to find badly thrown discs.

This course is an amazing course. It was just built in 2008 so everything is brand new. I wanted to find a scenic course when I came to California, and this did it for me. The course combines hills that create challenging shots, but also beautiful views of central California. If you're on your way up to Yosemite this is a must on the list.
