Pros:
You are at beautiful Mohonk!
18 holes with Discatcher targets. All holes par 3. Scorecards available at bike rental building near tennis courts.
Wooded with beautiful understory of mountain Laurel blooming while we played on 6/7.
Only open fairway hole is #18.
Hole distances are geared for beginner & intermediate players. The front 9 is short yet an interesting mix of uphill, downhill, left & right doglegs, and a couple of tree gauntlets to drive through.
Back 9 is longer with #17 being the toughest hole of the course.
Take a break at the cliff ledge gazebo between #14 & #15 for a breathtaking view. Trash & recycling nearby.

Cons:
The course is not maintained well for an upscale place like Mohonk. I expected better.
Downed trees and branches were throughout the course. A few baskets were lopsided and need to be straightened. Some tee sign posts needed to be replaced. Tee signs are inadequate (no distances or pars posted).
A small child playground was recently installed way too close to #18's basket.
No benches

Other Thoughts:
I consider this a date course.
If you and your special someone like to disc, hike, take in gorgeous views etc, go as meal included day guests.
We did lunch($85 per person). Call in advance and make a reservation.
Go early and stay all day to get your money's worth.
Meal guests can drive up to the Mountain House & have access to the Mountain House.
Dining Room was nice. Lunch was good and "all you can eat".
There are many other fun & interesting things to do also.

Pros:
It's a fun course, not too challenging. It's a fun little hike too. Good wooden holes, I played when I was first starting and had no issues.
There's a little store/ shack thing near hole 1 to buy discs, never seem to be open whenever I've gone.

Cons:
$25 to get a day pass.
If they made it free to just play a round and leave, then this would be a really cool course.

Played the course:once
Pros:
Challenging course that requires all types of throws.
The ups and downs are integrated into the layout very well for challenging holes in limited terrain.
Some basket placements are challenging, 11 is on a steep hill, 12 is tucked next to a cliff.
Fits well into the location.
The course plays fast.
Very well marked and easy to follow.

Cons:
Most holes are short, the first is little more than a long putt.
Tee boxes are a step too short.
Length of hole on the signs would be helpful.
Will probably play much harder with foliage out.

Other Thoughts:
Keep in mind that the course was probably designed with Mohonk guests in mind who may be playing for the first time. It is not worth the cost to go there to play disc golf. However Mohonk Preserve members get discounted entry. If you go for a meal or a day at the spa the entry to the grounds is included.
