Finally! A new course for us locals. The terrain is beautiful. The day starts off amazing just with the chair lift ride to hole one. Not to mention its 20-30 degrees cooler in the mountains than in the city. Nice variety of shots, big bombers followed by fun technical shots, up hill then down. Watch your disc on hole 1 if its windy. You WILL lose it. The layout is fairly easy to follow. Next tee signs are posted and also look at the ground, they have laid out paths to the next tee, they are just hard to spot sometimes. You will get some major cardio on this course as well. Lots of hiking. Also keep an eye out for wildlife. Horses and elk. Sometimes they gather by pins.

The biggest con is the tee pads. As of right now there is no rubber. They are dirt and very rocky. Not to mention some of them feel very short. I found it hard on occasion to get a good run up on some of them. While this irritated me the first time I was less bothered by it every time after. If the rubber was in I would probably even bump this to a 3.5. Again I will reiterate to watch your discs on this course. You pull a bad shot, get frustrated, and look away, your disc is gone. Even if you watch it its not a given you will find it. Also the 10 dollar lift ticket only gets you up once. It is not a day pass so do your self a favor and get the season pass if you are going to go a bunch.

Overall I am really liking the new course. Its a bit of a drive but its worth it. This course will have you working, on your shots and on your cardio. Make sure to wear good shoes, you will be dealing with steep inclines, up and down. If you are not use to playing in this type of terrain I suggest you play holes 16-18 first. They are at the bottom of the lift and are a good warm up for the day ahead. All in all a very enjoyable course.

By the way, did I mention to watch your discs?
