Wear good shoes, tall socks and maybe pants! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Note: This course has been redesigned since the previous reviews

-Awesome disc golf terrain, lots of elevation and trees in play, cool variety of shots
-Nice baskets
-Plenty of benches
-It seems like the redesign possibly made this a better course

Cons:

-Since the redesign, this course is super confusing, a map/udisc is a must. The baskets all have the numbers from the old layout (I assume), for example hole 1's basket is actually labeled as 14. Even with udisc, we spent a lot of time trying to figure out where to go
-Unlike the previous reviews, there were no teesigns
-All tees were rubber mats, but some seemed like they were just plopped down on top of the rocks, some very uneven
-The terrain and rough are very unforgiving, even dangerous in places if your shot goes awry.
-Lots of trash scattered throughout, not just litter but some big things like old broken water tanks

Other Thoughts:

Of the courses I played in the Texas panhandle, this was the most memorable. Definitely rugged and adventurous, and really cool features, notably the red cliffs and canyon walls.

I made the mistake of wearing shorts and ankle socks. Several times in the round I had to take my shoes off to pick all the foxtails out of my socks. And the shrubs are hard and stabby (mesquite, maybe?), if you get stuck in one, be prepared for some minor agony.

Most memorable holes: Hole 6 is a long dogleg right that follows the cliffside of the canyon--good to have a spotter in case you go off to the right into the thick rough. Hole 8 plays from the top of 6's cliffside, a cool shot that crosses over the canyon. Hole 12 is an odd one that has a 90 degree dogleg with a mando and OB long, unique to say the least

All in all, a really cool course. If they can get some decent signage, fix the basket numbering, and level out some of the tees, I would give this a 4.

Very Hard 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 5, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very difficult course for anyone looking for a real challenge. Great baskets and a beautiful course.

Cons:

Can be very difficult to find your way around the course if you have never played it. The course is WAY too long. Every hole is a par 3 but there is several holes that would be rated par 4's at any other course. Can be very very frustrating for anyone who is not a pro.

Other Thoughts:

Hole 11 is one of the coolest holes you will ever play. You throw from an elevated cliff side down to a lower cliff side across a valley.
