-Concrete tees on most holes - they are quite narrow, but this didn't present me with many issues

-Chainstar baskets on all holes, caught great, as to be expected w/Chainstars

-INCREDIBLE scenery - the views off the back side of the mountain are just phenomenal - you can see all the way along the St. Louis river to the Bong Bridge near the mouth of Lake Superior on a clear day, and the views down and over the valleys of the ski runs are astounding

-Great use of elevation - almost every hole has MAJOR elevation change, as it is a ski area. Hole 1 starts it off with a bang, throwing a big hyzer steep uphill to a flat green area about 80-90 feet higher in elevation, and it only continues from there.

-Signature holes - hole 5 is a nice ace run that shoots from the top edge of a bowl type ski run into the middle of the bowl. You're gonna want to empty the bag on that one. Hole 9 or 10 or something (lost my map, and DGCR's info is out of date to the current course layout), is now a multishot, par 4/5 which runs along the road and the top of the ski hill, and hooks around to a basket by the summit lodge. The next hole plays from a teepad at the highest point of the course, down over the chairlift, to a basket on the open face of the main ski run, with drop offs on both sides. Hole 19 shoots 500+ feet across the main face of the hill, to a basket on an elevated grass mound (presumably for terrain park jumps?), and 20 shoots all the way down the hill. Another empty your bag type shot, just remember where they land. One of the wooded holes in the very middle of the course qualifies as a sig as well, shooting a nice long hyzer all the way down into a deep valley.

- Great greens - Most baskets were placed in very strategic and "puckering" positions. Hole 2 is just inside the trees, but about 30 feet up a very steep hill. A hit off the cage is almost a guaranteed rollaway. Hole 4 is literally two feet from the edge of a cliff - I got greedy and ran it, and paid the price - but not full price. I got lucky and caught up in a tree, but had to use the ladder to climb to where the tree was. If I had missed the tree, the ladder would have ended, and I would've said bye bye to my putter.

-Plenty of opportunity to air it out - I LOVE wooded courses, but Eagle's Peak really does a great job at making every open shot feel awesome, and lets you just rip it on many occasions. About 65% of the course is open, and it never left me bored.

-Variety - although I just highlighted the openness of the course, the designer also did a swell job implementing trees intelligently when he did. Hole 3 comes to mind - you're throwing up a huge ledge, but you throw through what is basically a fence line of trees, forcing you to hit the window to get up the ledge, and I believe it was mando to go through it. The middle of the course throws in a handful of heavily wooded holes off the west side of the property as well. Many ups, downs, many lefts, and a few right turning holes

-Teesigns - the teesigns are also a con right now. As I stated, I believe the course is going through some sort of transition period, with the changing of some holes, etc. This has left most holes with only laminated signs with hole no. and length. Although most holes are pretty intuitive, without my friend who had played there before, I might have not known what gaps to hit, or what direction to go, even with the maps available at the pay area.

-Not all teepads are concrete - the holes that only have natural dirt with colored blocks marking them, are the worst ones to not have concrete, as they are the steep wooded holes off the west side. I definitely felt a little nervous about slips and falls off a couple

-The water holes where not in when I played. What gives??

-Very challenging hiking - I personally don't take this as a con, but this is not the course you'd want to play heavily drunk, or bring small children to. The walk from 17 - 18 comes to mind - you must ascend a steep, thin ridgeline, while holding onto ropes tied between the trees. Be very careful or you could slip down some seriously steep and deep ravines. Again I thought it was pretty neat, but this aint no walk in the park.

Out of the two main courses onsite, I liked this one the best (even though they get the same rating from me). I feel like this course does best out of any in making open throws very special and unique. Don't get me wrong I'm not a wooded course hater, but I LOVED the wide open, crank it type holes on this course. The views are unbeatable, each hole makes you say "wow" for different reasons, and the challenge is abundant. If they get all concrete tees, get better signage, I can bump the rating to a 4.5. If they re-add those two water holes, I could see justifying this course as a 5. Either way, this course is the best example of what amazing ski hill disc golf should be.

This course is a perfect warm-up or cool-down course for the White Cedar. It offers you many different shots especially uphill and downhill, but gives you hyzer and anhyzer opportunities as well. Though many shots are open they still require the ability to hit a line to sink birdies. You can feel good or bad about your round and respect the layout equally on this great course on site.

Again not having full cement tee pads is disappointing, but when you consider the location it would be hard to get everything in place...
Really its a great course to compliment the White Cedar.

Anyone who is in the area is a fool to not play these courses. They are not for rec players, but pay to play courses really shouldn't be. With the amenities on site and the dual courses plus cheap camping it blows me away there aren't more people doing weekend getaways here. Do yourself a favor and take a full day or two and enjoy the best that the northland has to offer.

I would say this is the best course in the Twin Ports area. When I have been there the grounds have been well maintained. The tee boxes and pins are well marked as well as the signage to the next hole. The course is built on the ski hill so be prepared for VERY hilly and steep terrain that makes for a great challenge. Great service at the chalet before and after rounds with refreshments and a small selection of discs.

This course doesnt have many negatives, only things that i can think of are muddy conditions and the construction. Playing over the 2012 summer there is some construction going on at the top of the hill so there is some traffic of workers and machines on the course. And one of the holes is currently torn apart from this construction. Also after rain since some of the holes are heavily shaded or in the trees it can take a while for the course to dry out.
