So much potential.... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 8, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Challenging greens
-Great elevation
-Some signature shots
-Risk Reward

Cons:

-Not all holes have T pads, and the ones that do are often to short and narrow or uphill
-holes 9 and 10 were unplayable from construction
-grass was cut, but sometimes you can spend a long time looking for discs if it is long
-all but 3 holes can be shot with a righty hyzer...nature of an open hill course though I suppose.

Other Thoughts:

There was a tournament happening on the Cedar course the same day (tournament pace is soooo slow). A wedding was happening in the afternoon so that closed down the top of the mountain for part of the day. Still was charged 7 bucks to play despite these factors.

There are some holes, that if you "go over the edge" of the green...you will not get your disc back...ever.

Cut the grass!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 10, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Long shots to test out your arm. A great mix of up, down and across hill shots and a pretty damn cool layout. A lot of work was put into the pin locations. Great staff and great food at the chalet.

Cons:

The grass was very long on the ski hills and it made finding discs a serious pain in the ass. I realize that grooming eagle's peak and white cedar must be a lot of work but alas, it is what it is, gotta maintain it if it's a pay to play course.

Other Thoughts:

White cedar is the tech course and eagle's peak is more for the guys that wanna stretch out the arms. The terrain is less challenging than white cedar but absolutely not a picnic. Bring bug dope and water,, lots of both.

Quite the experience 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 23, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Scenry is fantastic. To enjoy it, you gotta earn it. I enjoy a good hike, but holy cow. Many different shaped holes to force every shot in your bag. The amount of work that goes into the course is amazing. Played here on the way back from Highbridge and the natural tees were a welcomed perk. I'm a casual player and would prefer natural tees, I can see if money was on the line that concrete is better but....anywhoo, the course has it all..... all but the....(see cons)

Cons:

The walks/hikes between holes were long, dangerous, and abundant. The flow is fine and finding your way is fine, but it seems to never end. It didn'tt really have the feel of playing disc golf, it was more hiking. I understand that it's a ski hill, but it seemed like way too many uphill holes. Fast greens are nice, but a few were out of hand.

Other Thoughts:

The course is not for me. I enjoyed many of the great holes and apprectiate the work that has been done. Its great to see another pay to play private course pop up. It's apparent that the owners did not design it for the average joe who plays occasionally. Be prepared for a long grueling round. Take a few discs out of your bag and bring more water and snacks, gonna need em. I recommend trying atleast once to have your own opinion. Great in many ways!!!
