Baldfoot is a course that is lucky enough to have excellent terrain for a disc golf course; lots of hills, plenty of trees and variety of throws both left and right. Many lines off the pad here are very tight and accuracy is obviously more important than distance. Bad throws are punished fairly well and many times after hitting an early tree you are looking at a very well done throw to make a 3 on the hole. Hole 17 is the long hole at over 400 feet and fairly wide open with only a few trees and the trees branches to worry about.

I played in the spring and the creek at the bottom was pretty full. A few spots in this area were brought back to the hotel with me at the end of the day in the form of dirt and mud. I didn't even notice till I took my shoes off that my socks were wet. I feel that though many of the lines are tight the course isn't as challenging as it could be and with the short distances of the course any experienced disc golfer can and probably should be well under par. It seems that the course is very popular, played it on a Sunday and there were multiple groups playing it, one as large as 10-12.

This is fun course in Sandpoint which is a nice little town to explore. I would expect anyone playing this course to play the short 9 hole course next door as a warm up or cool down as well. Being so close to Caliber I would probably buy the seasonal pas there and play it all the time but when I wanted to have fun and throw mids and putters around to build my confidence I could see playing here if I were a local. It's worth the stop if you're going to be in town anyway.

Another Great little DGC up in the Panhandle of Idaho

Cool little Spot for Discgolf
Moderate to Heavy Coniferous Woods, with Sandy Elevation, and a couple Creeks to Navigate

Solid Design in a Confined Space. Not a Filler on the Course, well done

The available Elevation, and the Use of that Elevation for this DGC, is Excellent

1 & 18 are Esthetically Pleasing, and Excellent Discgolf Holes
Anytime I can throw a Pretty slow turning Meteor to start and finish my round with a Birdy Putt, it's Superior Course Design

Some other Holes also play Moderately Wooded, and add to the overall Variety out at Baldfoot
3 4 16 & 17 play generally Flat, and or allow for throwing Bigger Shots

5-13 is such a SuperFun stretch of funky Wooded Discgolf, playing versus Ridgey Terrain and Guarded Baskets for them Deuces
I really really Enjoy this Stretch of DG

Teesigns are Custom
Nice Big Wood Planks, with angle iron Sign Frames, and flat iron Bag Holders
Signs are Uniform (except 7) Showing Footage and Fairway Shape to One Basket Position, Water Danger, and the Tee for the Next Hole

Benches on every Hole are much Appreciated

Nice looking Putt Practice area, with all the Yellow and Purple Flowers out there in July and August
Shootout to ChillerDecks for the Practice Baskets effects

Couse Map and Information at Kiosk
Donation Basket can be Found here

Bridge on 8 and the Bridge to 14 are Nice to have
Several Steep Trails have Paver Steps

Played an evening Round during a Sprinkle Shower, and also an early Morning Round... didn't even get Mud on my Towel

Not Buggy, during July and August

Lots of Steep Up n Down Hiking, not for Everyone

12s Green will most likely be Boggy during Spring, assumption based on playing during a rare Rain

Local Guys walk their Dog throughout the Courses, and don't pick up the Poop
Discgolfers don't pay attention to where their Unleashed Dogs poop... there's an inordinate amount of Poop at Baldy

After Stretching and Putting around, Little Baldfoot is a Fun & Quick warmup 9er

Limited Space for the Discgolfs, often results in Fishscaling, as it does at Baldy. There IS Fencing to Protect Tees thankfully
Bag Drop opportunities on the Fairways of 2 3 4 9 10 14

There's Alternate Pin Sleeves on many Holes, that are Not Shown on the Teesigns. However, Teesigns are all currently accurate with the Baskets in the Position illustrated
(8s the only Basket that switched Positions from mid July thru mid August, now in the deep Right Position)

Course Map shows Alt Tees and Pins, but the Alt Tees seem to be WIP

Teepads are not uniform in Shape, but there's 18 level Concrete Pads

Slough and Creek could possibly effect Play on about half the Holes. Basically whenever you TreeKick Down to the Bottom, it might be wet down there

The Vegetation gets thicker down there too, but I didn't lose any Misthrows/Kicks thru Ten Rounds

Pend O'reille and Sandpoint City Beach are just a couple miles away

Drought, Wildfires, and 96° Temps was my general experience in Sandpoint... I'm not sure how things are at Baldfoot during other Seasons, but for mid Summer conditions on the DGCourse were excellent

This course has a lot of potential and I know it's still being improved. It's come a long way and has a long way to go. Not crowded, natural forested setting with variety of trees makes for a variety of shots. Something for everyone, whether you are a righty or lefty. A humbling course because you can't just huck it out there, you have to have good control to get through the trees. Plans include multiple bridges, benches, concrete boxes for every tee, clubhouse, and a 9 hole family course.

It's not 100% complete so I can't give it a higher rating or else I would.

I would rather play this unfinished course rather than a finished course that is not well maintained, crowded, poorly laid out, etc.

This is a new course on a great piece of land. The course is placed into a rolling, heavily wooded parcel of land with a small creek running through it.

It starts with a nice graveled parking lot with a Porta-can. The "warped basket" sculpture at the parking area is where you deposit your $1 per round donation.

This course has been improved considerably since I last played it in summer 2014. All new concrete tees are excellent. Great new signs, and plenty of "next tee" signs as well. The local guys have done a ton of work out here and it shows.

All of the holes except for 17 require a drive through the woods, with most holes being quite tight. Several baskets are placed with drop-offs behind to give you some risk/reward consideration. Several baskets are also on side hills with roll-away potential.

A good variety of uphill, downhill, and sidehill shots. Also a nice mix of left and right bends and doglegs.

Hole 17 is your one chance to air out your drive. It is completely different than the other holes on the course, but a nice bit of variety.

Some additional tree cutting and limb removal has been performed, and it is all for the better as far as I can tell. They've open up Hole 10 a little and there is now a RHFH route as an option to the previous RHBH route.

There are still some rough areas on the course, with lots of little tree stubs sticking up to trip you. Most of the paths are in good shape, but a few places as still rough, uneven and steep.

There is a long walk from Hole 13 to 14, and thank goodness the first sign said "across the creek" because after that there is nothing. A couple of additional signs would be helpful as you cross another path on the way there and it could get a little confusing.

Update 5/19/2015 - A couple of my previous cons have been taken care of in the past year. This course has really been improved a great deal in that time.

My first review gave a 3.0 rating, with a note that this course could be 4 stars with concrete tees and a bit more cleaning/clearing. With the new tees and signs I've bumped it to 3.5 and I still think that this will be a 4 start course when completely finished up.

For a two-year old course built by locals this course is pretty amazing.
