Pros:
If you can imagine what giants would feel like playing disc golf in the Appalachians, with skyscraper-sized baskets and using UFOs as discs, you have a pretty good idea in your head of what the best holes at Rock Springs Ridge play like. The course features a mini-mountain: it's a hill really but it has a mountain-like shape, with multiple "peaks" and steep ascents. It's first encountered on 2 which plays across a flat grassland, over a depressed area and on to the basket which is on an auxiliary peak. From the target you can look to the top of the hill where another basket is perched. You don't return to the hill until 16 though so there is time to let that climb sink in and whet the appetite. When you do, it is worth it as 16 plays straight to the top. It's the steepest hole that I have played to date. Not the highest climb, but the sharpest degree. And better watch out for roll-away because it can easily roll all the way. From the peak, high over the suburban flats, its a slight descent to a plateau. From this vantage you'll probably empty your bag on the seventeenth tee. It's 600 feet from the short tee (recommended because it is closer to the edge) and with nothing but open field below you, it will be worth it to collect everything when you finally make it down there.
The rest of the course could accurately be described as derelict ball golf. There are no sand traps or water hazards anymore, but there are some OB type areas that substitute well. (In this case a depression filled with brush) In the winter, it's not bad going in to find a bad throw, but I could imagine it being nasty in there in the summer.
Most holes can be adequately described as long and open. The big dog in your bag will eat here. There aren't a ton of obstacles with the few trees on the course mostly being used to protect the pin from an easy approach. While the fairways can't be missed, most baskets will have to be approached from the side. The other trick employed here is placing the pin behind a hill. Either way, expect to air out a drive and then find a potentially tricky approach.
It's a good beginner course as well. Though it's long, it only means an extra shot or two per hole and they won't be frustrated by repeated tree hits or lost discs in the open terrain.
Cons:
There's not a ton of technical challenge here. Very few holes penalize poor throws to any extent. Experienced players may be bored here.
Additionally, outside of the previously noted hill holes, there isn't much memorable here. While there's plenty of fun to be had, most throws here are just ok.
Lastly, the tees are worn out and shaggy. With the amount of airing out that can happen here, a more solid tee situation would be welcome.
Other Thoughts:
I avoided this course all summer because others had remarked on the lack of maintenance. I've never seen this course in a bad state but I've also never played it in late spring or early-mid summer. I can't say whether the lack of upkeep is seasonal or if it was temporary, but I'm reviewing the course as it is under good conditions, which is the only way I've seen it.
