Good signage. Creative holes. Good use of terrain.

Signage was good but also very inaccurate on some. Sign would say to throw to left but basket would really be to the right. Which wouldn't be a problem except 90% of this course is completely blind throws. With no distinguishing fairways. So you're throwing blindly without really a hint of where to throw. Even an excellent throw can easily be punished greatly due to lack of fairways.

Can be windy so be prepared.
Bring water.
Course has some major potential.

Challenges/Pros:
• Multiple elevations with extensive mature juniper trees and bushes throughout the course with large boulders and slickrock formations dotting the landscape.
• Fairway lengths are long with many exceeding 400-500 feet and Par ranges from 3-5. Scoring is appropriate with some pins down in ravines, surrounded by vegetation, or perched on top of rocky mounds or rock piles. You have to climb many of the rocky mounds and descend into lower elevations from them.
• Be wary of the risk of bouncing off the rock surface and rolling/falling far away from the pin. I used a Vibram Medium X-Link disc for approach shots that helped to avoid this problem on many of these holes.
• Excellent cement tee pads with signage showing the potential pin placements. HINT: Try to spot which pin location has a basket you can identify to guide your play.
• Wind was whistling the day we played this course and we eventually began just casually scoring the course as some 30-40 mph gusts sometimes grabbed discs during ten to twelve foot putts and blew the putters 50 feet away! Very happy when we managed to par an occasional hole in this "typhoon". Despite that we had an absolute blast!

Opportunities for Improvement:
• Not many things come to mind although everyone should carry water and if there was an ongoing tournament then spotters armed with poles to rescue discs from dense trees when appropriate might be helpful.

Course: Ironside DGC--Spectacular Professional Level Course!

Perspective: Intermediate level, Master's 60+ player with low to intermediate arm strength.

Course Details/Info:
• The Course map and course are to the north as you park in the Disc Golf parking lot in the Three Peaks Recreation Area.
• 18-hole course with two-three alternate pin locations from each tee allowing for varying the course for routine play and tournaments.
• Path between holes is fairly visible on sand and dirt with sign posts pointing from pins to next tee box.


Summary of Rating/Play:
• Spectacular professional level course.
• Not a beginner course, or for those who aren't able to handle tough terrain!
• A dream course for expert players but appropriate for Masters 50-60+ in good physical condition, intermediate-level adults and younger players with good skills.
• Probably the best overall course in the Cedar City and St. George areas.
• Overall, I would rate this as a "4 1/2" course which is the highest rating I've ever given.

-This course is beautiful. The backdrop of the snowy hills around Cedar City is breathtaking.

- Camping available if you are need to make a road trip of it.

- Very challenging holes and tricky greens. They use every bit of the landscape.

- Has a handful of 700+ ft par 4s and 5s with some really fun downhill shots.

- Tee signs and arrow signs make it relatively easy to find the next hole (no guide needed)

-It's right next to another full 18 hole course with very similar style layout.

- Not much of a con because it's part of why the course is so tough, but there are a lot of huge juniper trees that are not fun to get stuck/throw out of.

- It's a raging inferno out there during summer.

Drove 3 hours to camp and golf. Had a blast! This place is awesome!
