Other Thoughts:
This is a very fun private course just off the 299 in the small town of Burnt Ranch. It plays with about half the holes on one side of the 299 and the other half on the other side. Hole two plays along the old 299 which is now just a dirt road through the woods. There is quite a bit of poison oak around and could be a problem if someone is allergic to it. The course had an excelent mix of holes that played uphill, downhill, flat, to the left, to the right and straight down the middle. It realy didn't feel like it was favorable to leftys or rightys. If your going to try to play call Nate before you head out, his # is on the PDGA website. This course realy helps complete the 299 as it puts a course in between Weaverville and Willow Creek. The course's actual name is Ironside Classified. I'll be back...
