Pros:
- Targets are DiscCatcher 28's and all of them are in good shape.
- Concrete Tee pads (Without hole numbers) are in very good shape with rocks nearby for sitting.
- Trails connect tees to pins and vice versa. Makes it easier to avoid cactus and sharp brush.
- The up and down layout paired with some mandatories and fences makes for a decent variety of shot shapes.
- This area is only used for disc golf, so no picnics or playgrounds to slow your round down.
Cons:
- There certainly is a 'lack' of obstacles - no trees or major hazards. If you're used to playing wooded courses you might feel like this is too much of a point and shoot course.
- While there is a degree of intuitiveness to the layout, I was confused the first time I played and heavily relied upon Udisc for navigation. Tee signs or Tee pad numbers would be a major upgrade.
- Course is very exposed to the wind and elements. This isn't necessarily a 'con', but can be frustrating at times.
- I assume there is a rattlesnake risk in the summer months.
Other Thoughts:
Billings is starting to feel more and more like a disc golf city. High Sierra adds unique disc golf experience even if it isn't the most beautiful or challenging course you've ever played (I'm relatively new). If anything, this is a great course to play if you want to get away from the crowds at Pioneer park with a little more of a polished feel compared to Diamond X. I hope the local disc golf club continues to develop this course and add new features over time.
