Pros:
OK, we played Lakeside second yesterday, and glad we did. It was a lot hotter and this is the more wooded of the 2 courses. It's not quite as long, but it's still almost 8900 ft. from the blue tees that we played from. You do get a hand drawn map when you sign your waiver and pay to help with navigation. Once again, there is great use of elevation and water, and there are multiple lines to choose from on the majority of the holes on both courses. As with both of the Selah courses, you'll have a chance to throw pretty much every shot in the bag and use just about every disc you've got. Lakeside was my favorite of the two courses, but probably only because of the 7th. In my opinion, the best hole on the ranch, weighing in at almost 900 ft. with water all along the left side and a beautiful island green (and I do mean ISLAND, that bridge in the pictures is the only way on and off that green). Even though this is the more wooded course, there's still 6 holes around the lake that you have to avoid the water on. Lakeside holes that stood out to me were the 1st, a great par 5 start at 700 ft. with the basket right on the waters edge, the monster 4th plays over 800 ft along the water, the signature 7th, the 14th is a fun 425 footer through trees and up a hill, 16th was fun at 525 ft. par 4 with trees to avoid off the tee and at the green, and the 18th is another great finish, a reachable par 5 with water all along the left. More excellent risk/reward and fun factor throughout the entire course. Just like Creekside, Lakeside is a fair course with plenty of opportunity to score if you take advantage when you can. Depending on how many finishing touches are put in, these two courses have the potential to end up being one of the top 5 disc golf experiences in the country, if not the world. Championship disc golf at it's finest.
Cons:
Same as Creekside, basing these reviews on being able to picture the finished product, zero cons for Lakeside for those that aren't frustrated easily. Again, signage has yet to be installed, a few trees will be removed and planted. A sprinkler system is being installed, so there will be more grass eventually, still a little dusty right now.
