Pros:
1.) Friendly locals always willing to help out, a very good disc golf community here. Several times while I was playing this course I saw people returning lost discs.
2.) Nice balance of challenging holes, several birdie ops, a handful of ace runs, and quite a few bombers. This course favors the RHFH throwers or people that can punch out a decent anhyzer, however, there are quite a few opportunities for RHBH precision shots.
3.) Considering the crowds, the park is relatively well kept. I did see quite a bit of litter, however, it was picked up by the next days. Again, I think this has something do to with the local scene.
4.) Multiple tee pads allow (some holes had as many as 4) for any caliber of player to play, well set up for someone to learn the game.
5.) Practice basket, also used as an added hole. The locals here seem to favor the putters at the practice basket, as that is what it is used for, however, there are plenty of times it is open when you finish 18 and can take a shot at it..
6.) Engaging mountain views.
7.) Dining, and stores to get drinks very close by.
8.) Good fun factor.
Cons:
1) Aside from the course on the military base here, there is not another course that is with in 20 miles. If you want to play multiple courses in one day here, you must go to Salt Lake City. Next really good disc golf, 2 hours away, Pocatello Id.
2) Congestion. Being that it is the only course close, and disc golf seems very popular here, this course becomes very congested during the day.
3) Aside from the locals doing most everything right, they did seem to have one flaw. Many times during the day playing solo, I ran into groups of as many as 8 and not offering to play through. This course may have had a better rating based on this one.
4) Although the pin placement is great as far as shot quality, many baskets are placed close to the fairway on the front half of the course. This could pose a danger to other players on congested windy days.
5) The rough is rough in places. There is a river that winds around the back half of the course, it does not come into play unless you have a very uncontrolled drive. Again, there is also a swamp that follows on the back 3 holes, but does not come into play unless a very uncontrolled drive is released. There are several places where there is too much brush to track a disc if let go of wrong.
6) This is only a small one for night golfers, but, there is a Walmart right behind the course that has very bright streetlights. The lights can over power the ones on your disc and never allow the eyes to adjust to the darkness.
7) Multiple basket types. The practice basket is an Disc Catcher. The rest of the course is a mix of Mach 5s, and homemade. For being homemade, the baskets seem decent, however, there are non-regulation chains on many of them that are too small and do not properly catch the disc.
Other Thoughts:
Overall, I had a fantastic time playing this course. I found that night play was much easier based on congestion. Because of the popularity of the area, I was trying to get the locals to try to get more organized and get some more course in the area. With a following this large, a city must see the need to install another course if a letter to them is well written.
Even with their altered etiquite, I if more of a focus was put on discgolf here, I am sure with how good the folks are, they would let you play through.
Certainly worth a play if you are in the area for a while.
