Pros:

Very challenging and fun course in the beautiful setting of old growth cedars and moss and ferns. It's a medium to short course in length, but the array of trees you must navigate and great variation of elevation change will surely test you.

Since they completed the pour on the second set of teepads (yes, they have two on every hole!), and added second pins for each hole, this course has gone from a pitch and putt to a true monster! We played both layouts today in which every pin was in long, and all had a bogey adventure. Back when pins were all short, it was a matter of "how many strokes can I get under par?". I played scores between +8 and +10 on the long pins and felt that I had played decent (for a 920 rated player).

All the equipment is nice and they also have fancy bag holders to boot!

Cons:

This isn't the place to air out any shots, but that is the only thing that keeps this course from being truly balanced.

Other Thoughts:

Nice shady quiet place to escape the PNW rains or summer sun.

Loved it! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 7, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Variety of shots, long, short, doglegs left and right. I felt that the course didn't cater to either a forehander or a backhander...which I found enjoyable. While there is considerable underbrush on the course...it's sporadic enough to not cause the dreaded 10+ minute search for a disc...
Teepads were excellent and the natural layout of the course was nice too. Played in the early morning, so NO crowds when we started...but by the time we left around 12noon, the parking lot was considerably more full. Great course and will definitley come back to play again.

Cons:

Distance from the eastside of Seattle (about 1 hour, 15 min's)...and that was about it.
Loved the idea of the 'bag-hangers' on the tee pads...but several were broken. A very small complaint to say the least...considering each hole had several LARGE tree trunks/logs where you could rest if needed.

Other Thoughts:

Loved the challenge of the course...up hill and down hill shots are fun. Trees??? Who's afraid of a big bad tree??? It's called a challenge...and especially for those east siders who play some of the 'field' courses with little to no obstacles...this was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended course!!!

This a challenging but fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 5, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a challenging course that allows to work on all your different throws. You have some short throws that challenge your understable and overstable discs. With some long disc that give you a chance to throw your long drivers. There are also a lot of hazard that you have to avoid, which make it more exciting..

Cons:

To many trees, but I personally think it makes the holes more exciting. Also can be crowded at time causing you to have to wait in line.

Other Thoughts:

The holes change from long to short pretty regularly, which doesn't allow you to get comfortable with the course. Also a great course to play with a group, but beware for beginners!

Great course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 25, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Challenging holes, great hike, secluded environment, great for amatures who play enough to be good but aren't pros :)

Cons:

A little too short (but the trees make is seem longer), and it's a little far away unless you live or visit Kitsap county

Other Thoughts:

It's worth the drive!

NAD - it's worth the trip! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Course is immaculate. Maps with distances at every tee pad, both RED and BLUE. Bag holders, directions to next tee arrows. Great pin placements with good challenge. And the setting is... well... as another poster said: magical!

Cons:

If you do not like trees - STAY AWAY FROM THIS COURSE. This is a very technical course. Longest hole is 300 feet. You need to be able to control your disk to do well on this course.

Other Thoughts:

The course is so well marked that you can't get lost! This thing could host a tournament tomorrow and the local club should be proud to show their faces for keeping it like this. It's an hour for me to get there from Burien... but I will be sadly killing our Earth and making the trip to play this course.

Quintessential Northwest course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 10, 2007 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is all that I hoped for in a Washington course! The forest is absolutely beautiful and serene. I loved the evergreens and the lush large fern undergrowth. There were good elevation changes with lots of up and down shots.
-The course is extremely well marked so it's easy to navigate. There are signs everywhere.
-The tee signs are very good.
-The bag holders will keep your discs dry when there's rain.
-There is an online map and score card (but the course has been redesigned since it was made).

Cons:

Suggestions for improvement-
-Update the online map and scorecard to match the current design.
-Add the longer Alt lengths to the tee signs.
-Use a system to show whether the baskets are in the regular or the long Alt positions.

Other Thoughts:

Course Level = White. (most suited for players rated 875-925)

The course is not long, but it's fun. Euphoria Factor = Very high! I can't wait to play it again!

You be the judge-
-Some longer throwers may think the course is too short, especially from the Red tees. As a shorter thrower I enjoyed being able to reach the holes. White level players should really like this course!

I loved the beautiful forest and the big ferns. I will definitely play here again if I ever get the chance! It's definitely worth making a trip to play.
