Nice course, love it 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 9, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Tee signs are unique and look great. Arrows in the basket pointing to the next tee. Great use of the land. Elevation changes make this a fun course to play. Location is good. If you have kids, plenty of places to play while you are discing. Parking is good and plenty of it. Not crowded (yet), give it time for word of mouth and that might change. Long holes and not too technicial of shots needed.

Cons:

Tee boxes need some work. I know this is a newer course and I am sure they will be touching them up as time goes by. No numbers on the baskets to know if you are throwing at the right one. There were a few times on the back 9 that it got a little confusing. You can stand in the tee box and see more than one basket. Not sure if you are throwing at the right one. I would suggest numbering the holes with flags or pictures on the tee signs to show where you are throwing. Again, I know this is a new course and it is a pretty small con to me. No waste baskets for trash.

Other Thoughts:

This was the first of 6 courses we played over the weekend. It was a nice course to start on. Get out there early, cause the wind and heat will certainly get worse as the seasons change. Bring lots of water and pack out any trash you have. Keep this course as nice as it is and people will certainly come back for more. I know that when I am in the area visiting friends, this will be a course that I will be hitting up for sure. Improvement will be coming, I am sure of it. Keep up the good work and enjoy playing.

Pros:

1st course in the Carson City area!
27 holes! A very nice course map that shows a 9 hole n 18 hole loop options for those who don't want to play the full 27. 9 hole loop is perfect for kids and casual players who do not want to walk up the hill. Bright orange posts directing you to the next tee on most of the holes making it very easy to navigate. Rubber tee pads have a very nice grip, no slips at all when wet. Very nice tee signs with washer above it showing which basket is currently in play. Warning signs on the tee sign posts for certain baskets such as "severe slope behind basket" or "fence behind basket is OB". The baskets and tee signs are color coordinated with a flag on top of each basket. Red sign throws to red flag,blue sign to blue flag, etc making it easy to kno which basket to throw to. The constant elevation changes of up down n sideways makes for quite a challenge. Some very fun mini "top of the world" shots with #22 as the signature hole. A good combination of hole distances ranging from 190-425ft par 3's and 2 par 4's of 500-650ft. Tight greens n slopes will test your putting. Great course for winter play when the Tahoe courses are under snow. The top portion of the course has spectacular views of the surrounding Sierra peaks and the Carson Valley

Cons:

No trees. As of now no benches but they are coming soon.
From April thru October prevailing winds will just about make this course unplayable after 1pm so play early during this time of year. Sagebrush n no trees means no depth perception from the tee so finding your disc can be difficult on some holes. Vandalism has been an issue. Don't be surprised if a few baskets are missing their flags when you play, damn punks!

Other Thoughts:

This course is quite unique compared to other courses in the region. No trees means you can pick your line on most of the holes but its still all about placement. The baskets are all closely guarded by either tall bushes, a slope, or a severe slope. Some are guarded on the left, some the right,some the back,some the front, some 75% guarded. Place your shot accurately and you have an open look. Miss on the wrong side and you are putting back up the hill or need to turbo putt over a bush. Don't let the no trees fool you into thinking this course is easy. If you play the entire course its quite a climb and fatigue is a factor over the last several holes. Until you have played it enough the constant elevation changes make distance control tricky. OB comes into play on 3 holes. Severe slope close to the basket comes into play on 7 other holes. You will rarely have a level open look putt on any basket so it will test your putting skills.
