The views are nice, and I like hanging out by the pool after our round. Made for a nice day all around

The course is in poor shape! Needs alot of attention before it can be comparable to anything else in tahoe. It seems like they just throw mats on the ground (uneven tee pads) and stick some pins out there and called it a course. Spent alot of time looking for discs, even on good drives because many holes don't really have a fair way. Baskets were broken, hole 6 basket had NO chains, hole 17 had chains but no basket under them. A couple others were bent.

I go to squaw alot in the winter I love this place for there high standards so I was expecting alot more. Was very disappointed in the course. I think the area they put the course is much too extreme. I like a tough course but this was almost unplayable. I think they should move the entire course to an area with less rocks and less bushes.

Although.... I did have great day because we went to the pool after and they an amazing pool with a good bar. It is worth going to this course if you make a day out of it and enjoy the other great things squaw valley offers at high camp

I'm guessing the person who posted the first review works at Squaw, and their assignment on July 31 was to post really positive and totally undeserved comments about their new course. Because there is no way this place is a 4. 1.5 is generous. I played this on the same day we played Condon in Grass Valley and there is no comparison. We actually hustled to Squaw to get in a second round, but didn't even finish it was so wack. This place has a long way to go before it can ever be called "world class."

There aren't really any pros to speak of beyond the nice views and pretty wildflowers. Oh and we came after five so the gondola was only $12. It's a decent place to take a hike but not really ready for disc golf.

Where do I start?

*Super windy
*Tons of brush and rocky nocks and crannies that makes it super hard to find your disc
*Stupid design - badly laid out
*No tee pads
*Terrible signage
*Mosquitoes
*Tons of walking and elevation gain -- more so than is really desirable.
*Did I mention it's windy and poorly laid out and it's impossible to find your disc and there's too much hiking and it's basically a stupid course that Squaw put at high camp so they can get more people to pay for the gondola

One of the best things about disc golf is that in general you don't have to pay. A course that costs $24 to get to has to be pretty amazing to compete with the other great courses in California (De La Vega, Novato, Napa, Condon). And Squaw isn't even close. Even if they put a ton of work into it -- tee pads, signage, etc. I still probably wouldn't pay because it's so easy to lose your disc. Also, I am somewhat doubtful that the average Squaw high camp tourist is going to want to play. I heard a mother talking about how she was going to play with her son. I literally can't imagine that happening.
