Pros:
An hour from Vegas but a world away, you will gradually climb from 2000 feet to somewhere north of 8000 feet as cactuses give way to pines and bristlecones. It's also 30 degrees cooler than Vegas.
The base of the mountain is filled with people who seem to be happy to be there, whatever the reason. The lift ticket will take you up the slow triple lift (no detachable quads here) to the first tee, an epic 500-foot cliff shot with a roughly 100-foot elevation drop. There is significant danger to the right and only somewhat more landing area to the right.
Holes 2-15 gradually descend the mountain, some crisscrossing the hill and a few taking you back up the hill. The baskets are usually visible from the tee, although it may take a little squinting and moving around to see them. Fortunately the baskets are yellow. Every hole has a homemade tee sign with a slice of tree propped up vertically with a laminated tee sign nailed to it. I love the tree stump part; the laminated paper is okay but gets the job done, showing the distance and shape of the fairway, and sometimes the distance to landmarks in the fairway.
It is obvious the course was designed by people who know disc golf. No boring holes throwing across a ski trail to a basket in the wide open like you see at some other ski resorts. You'll find yourself trying to decide if you should take the riskier line to go for the birdie or take the safer route for par. I really liked the options presented on these holes, and just as important, the lines that were prevented. If you love throwing huge hyzer routes for every shot, you might not like this course. The tees are often situated next to a tree that will keep you from throwing certain lines.
Navigation was pretty easy due to the "next tee ->" signs. There are maps you can get when you buy your lift ticket.
A couple of the notable holes:
Hole 2 was a fairly short hole with a tight line where a fallen tree prevents arching putts. I've never seen something quite like this. It's not unfair, but it will force an adjustment if that is how you putt.
Hole 6 is about 140 feet downhill with a reservoir behind (it would be tough to have the water come into play), but it's a tight line to the basket and not an easy birdie.
Hole 10 is a 700-foot downhill bomb with the basket in the open, but you need to decide how far you can throw and still be confident you'll end up on the fairway/ski trail.
Cons:
The biggest con of the course is how gravelly the slopes are. Hole 1 took a good ten minutes to complete because walking down the hill is so slow and unsteady (if the course ever gets busy, there could be some huge backups here, but I don't see any way around this). My footing never felt sure on these steeper parts, and you may have to walk back and forth parallel to the hill just to get down (it helps a little to walk in the few areas where the sparse grass is growing). By the end of the round, your toes will ache from jamming into the front of your shoes.
A few of the holes throw under the active chair lift, but these aren't too much of a safety issue. I made sure no one was on the chair in front of me just in case. There are some inactive chairlifts that come into play on other holes, but that is a unique and interesting feature.
Tee pads are all natural and short. There are only a couple holes that really require a run-up, though. If you didn't park the 250-foot hole through the woods, it's not because you didn't have enough of a run up.
Update for 2013:
The course map is not updated for 2013 and needs to be with the redesigned holes (see below).
Other Thoughts:
Keep in mind that disc fly more overstable at elevation. I had a number of overstable discs I never even threw. I also had a tough time judging distances on some holes (or at least the proper disc selection for those distances). I underthrew and overthrew a lot of approach shots.
The lift ticket is $10, but no griping, please. Everyone else has to pay to get to the top, so let's just applaud the management for allowing a course here (you can hike up if you are frugal and in terrific shape). The elevation will take the wind out of you, so bring some water.
By the way, this is not a great course for first beginners at all. You need to be able to shape some shots or at least be able to lay up accurately.
As you drive up Lee Canyon Road, you see plenty of terrain that would be ideal for many types of disc golf courses (flat wooded courses, hilly desert courses, etc). I hope some more get put in up here. The landscape is rich.
The course will only be open until October or so. I'll be getting in as many rounds as possible before then.
Update for 2013:
Holes 7 through 10 have been redesigned. Hole 10 used to be an epic downhill throw that wasn't safe with the people at the bottom. These four holes play in the same area around hole 7. A few other holes have minor movement of baskets or tees.
