Pros:
- snakes (ok, i think snakes are cool)
- Innova DISCatcher baskets in decent shape
- 3 and 4 are some of the coolest holes I've ever played
- awesome elevation change and incorporation of natural rock features
- straightforward navigation with exception of missing tee sign
Cons:
- snakes (some people don't, for some reason)
- natural tees, some of which are quite uneven
- rudimentary tee signs, and hole 2 sign missing
- decent number of bees to watch out for
- extremely short, only 6 holes
- virtually no amenities
Other Thoughts:
This is a hard course to rate. On the one hand, from the parking area it looks like nothing special, and it's extremely short with only 6 holes. 1, 2, and 6 are pretty ordinary, but 3-5 are what make this course special. 3 starts by playing uphill towards a rock face at an extreme angle. 4 plays along the bluff up on the rocks and is a really cool place to play from a bit of elevation, but with some risk of your disc going down the bluff. 5 throws back down to the main field. It should be noted the slope on hole 3 is extremely steep and the ground is a bit loose, so be careful.
Most disc golfers enjoy nature, right? Well, I hope so. I saw 2 or 3 snakes here within about a 50-100 ft span, they are all over in the grass. They are small, harmless snakes (garter snakes?) so nothing to really get worried about, just easy to miss so watch your step.
I think this course has the potential to be even cooler if it was expanded between holes 3 and 4 to move up the rocks onto the bluff even higher. It might be a bit precarious but it seems like a cool opportunity. If this could be expanded to 9 holes and have some better tee signs put in, it would be pretty decent.
This course takes advantage of the natural area it is in, but is pretty bare bones besides that. Don't expect benches and trash cans at each hole or anything like that - this is more of a tiny park course. That said, you can complete it in 30 minutes so you don't need much. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but if you're nearby I do think it's worth stopping for a fun, quick round. I made a point of stopping here just because of how unique it looked.
