Around the hospital 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Concrete tees
-Nice signs. The tees have distance, elevation, and a hole layout diagram. The next tee signs have distance and direction
-Good baskets.
-Elevation on the back 9
-18 ends close to 1
-all unique holes, no 2 look/play the same.
-uncrowded - I was the only one playing the day I played at 5pm
-parking lot
-a couple of mulitiple tees (7 & 18).

Cons:

-No restrooms, benches, or trash cans (the sign states not to use the hospital facilities)
-Not many trees/shade
-No stopping at the car half way through. (better bring a big water bottle)
-some long walks between holes (13 walking the entire length of the hole)
-unmanicured, weeds & dust/dirt

Other Thoughts:

When playing the holes that border the neighboring golf course greens I wished I was playing on that kind of grass, but I reminded myself I didn't have to sell my soul to play here (free!). There has been some mowing, which is great, but there needs to be more at least to define the fairways (not cool to be searching for a disc that landed in the fairway). There is hiking up and down hills, so be prepared for some exercise (wheeled devices might have issues). The canal that runs along the course really only comes into play for hole 11 on the the right side and you could get your disc back, but you would have to get wet. 18 is close to the helipad & the sign states not to play when there is a helicopter in the area, so that is unique. Overall a fun course with good variation in hole length and elevation.
I really hope this course continues to improve and not get ignored.

Challenging Course With Great Views 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 9, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. This course has the best, most attractive, and most complete signage I've ever seen. Period. Despite being an expansive course, players can't get lost. Everything is signed and clear.
2. The views are outstanding, especially holes 8 and 18. The entire Wind River range rolls out in front of you as you play. The course smells of pine and sage and is home to plenty of curious deer.
3. The course boasts tremendous variety. Water comes into play on four holes, there are huge elevation changes, some holes are short and technical while others are open and very long, there are holes that play in a park-like setting, and others that play over rugged terrain.
4. The course is easy to find and navigate with good parking and an intuitive layout.
5. Long, professionally poured tee pads provide sure-footed driving conditions. A few tee pads aren't yet installed, but the forms are in place, so I assume they should be going in this summer.
6. The course boasts a variety of challenges that should create issues for any style of player.

Cons:

1. It gets awfully windy in the spring. Wind makes a round more interesting, but sometimes, early in the season, it's so bad that the course is unplayable.
2. While the fairways are generally mowed, the rough on the back 9 is really rough. Finding errant drives in the tall grass on holes 8-13 and on 16 can be a challenge.
3. Trees come significantly into play on half of the holes, but the other nine are pretty open. The course designers did a bunch of dirtwork to create berms and canyons that make the non-treed holes interesting, but it's a pity that the hole course isn't more wooded.
4. Bring water! There's no where to get a drink or take a bathroom break on the course.

Other Thoughts:

For out-of-towners, this course is very worth the stop on the way to Yellowstone. It's the best course in Fremont County and among the very best in the state.
