A fun downhill throw, not a pitch n putt

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 9, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good baskets
- Lots of mandos makes things not as easy as normal
- Hole 9 is a big downhill throw from on top of this hill to a basket by a tree
- Only one hole under 200 feet, some distance is required for birdies so at least not a pitch n putt
- Little carboard tee signs not amazing but help with navigation

Cons:

- Lots of holes kind of right on top of each other and baskets that aren't yours in the fairway
- Hole 9 while fun throwing off the hill is such a short throw that really only putters or mids should be throw from off of it and the saf play is a hyzer
- Some obstacles but a more open course for sure
- Mandos aren't protecting anything just covering up for bad course design
- Hole 8 is a weird dogleg right to left that left me shaking my head

Other Thoughts:

It's fine as a stop to or from the Four Corners monument or Moab or whatever but a leg stretcher is all it is. Worth checking out for hole 9 at least. I played it in above ankle deep snow and it was a cold, wet, painful round but still broke up a long drive for me.
