Pros:

18 holes, significant use of elevation, and good use of trees/bush where they could.

Cons:

Lets see, tees are way too small, especially on longer holes where the teebox end in a drop off, just asking for an injury or a super abbreviated run-up.
Pins have no marking. They are using chainstars, nice baskets, but they really need a number plate or something so you can make sure you are aiming at the right hole.
Elevation is used as the main difficulty. If you can throw and walk uphill you will do well here.
Signs were ok at best. the vague arrow telling you where the next tee is on the map is nice, but some better signage would go a long way.
No top of the world shot. You get to the top at hole 12 or so, and then shoot across, and somewhat down. A huge ski hill needs to end with a top of the world shot down, not a boring open flat shot.

Other Thoughts:

Really not great. For a pay to play course I was not that impressed with the little things. Maybe I am spoiled with Blue Ribbon Pines and The three rivers parks close by.
The short tee pads are a huge issue, there were at least 3 holes where I had to shorten up my run to avoid falling, and on long holes that robs distance.
If you are making the trek here, play WHite Cedar. Then play the goof Ace Run Course. If you want the challenge of going up and downhill again, play white cedar again. This course is just not very good.
