+ beautiful new synthetic turf tees - never played on them before but they were great (nice size and level of grip) - just wonder how they'll last through more winters
+ attractive signage
+ some cool greens and use of local rock/boulders
+ next tee arrows on baskets great for first timer
+ pleasant environment with pine trees, clean air, smell of the needles
+ some fun and challenging corridors and shot shapes

- sometimes the lines are too tight to be fair/fun
- very little elevation (disappointing when expecting "mountain golf" in the high country
- kept getting deja vu, like I already threw the same shot through the same alley before... repetitive
- the walk-backs to next tee were often annoying and seemingly unnecessary
- at the same time being a longer course, with some long connections between holes, AND no benches... I wanna sit and recharge and soak in the forest once in a while - guess I need one of those disc bags that double as seats?
- got real dusty at times, lots of bare soil around baskets and tees especially, needs wood chips!
- a little claustrophobic in a 'maze' of tall vertical trees, playing disc in the high country I want some more variety in the landscape and some more views, other than just pine trees.

I was invited to visit a friend in Mammoth for the weekend (non disc golfer) but made sure to check this course out on my own first before doing hot springs and hiking. Had my mind set on some high country mountain golf and guess I was little disappointed. The professional Discgolfpark signs and tees make it feel legit and inviting but the site and the design left a bit to be desired. Although pretty, it's a flat, monotonous property overall. Even so I think there were a lot of missed opportunities to add interest to the holes to create more shot variety and course rhythm. Mixing in more shorter, technical and/or some place par 4 or 5 holes with mandos would have helped. Too much sameness. I would play again, but wouldn't go out of my way. I just don't think the designer spent enough time to make the most of it. I'll get my views and elevation on the trails this weekend!

-There are public restrooms just across the road at Tee #1.
-The hole layouts with clearly visible walking paths to the next hole and baskets with arrows were great.
-Some local disc golfers told me before hole 1 that the course was set up for Long Tees on Odd holes and Short Tees on Even holes, which helped a lot.
-Shorter length tee pads, were not built yet, but a pair of little orange flags marked them and they were noticeable.
-Almost didn't need the map, (actually needed it to get back to our car before the storm came in after 11 holes).
-The layout was fantastic - trees came into play almost every tee off and I learned how to play in the woods, (get past the tree(s) with as much distance as possible). -Loved the 13th rock surrounded elevated basket! -There were a few anhyzer tee offs which was great. -After all the tight tree tee off holes, I was excited to find the elevated 17th tee off with a clearer path to the basket.
-Liked the occasional short holes too.
-The dog legs holes and orange cones in the fairways as markers were great too.
-The baskets and signage were grade A too.

Watch for afternoon thunder storms in the summer afternoons. I recommend watching your shots carefully and walking to the location that you see your disc land. I threw a hyzer long approach to get around tress on 14th hole, and it skipped about 30-40 feet left - but with the trees and small bushes, I couldn't see it skip left. It took me 20 mins to find my disc. Just something to be aware of.

Played in the afternoon, got 11 holes in and a storm came in. I finished the round at 7AM the next morning.

Also, I found out on the 2nd day, that playing in the early AM was so much more enjoyable - temperature wise and with the quiet forest.

I can't think of any reason to not give this course a 5.0! So, I will. This was "Best of the Best" for me so far.

Well laid out, brand new baskets with the arrow to point to the next tee. Also use trails are easy to follow from basket to tee. Through a pine forest so a lot of trees. But the holes are not super long, so a good beginner course. Tee Pads are signed, with maps and distances, but did not see the "letter dial" that tells you which basket it is. You just have to look and determine by the distance you throw. Crisp, clean Mountain air. Had a great time.

Nothing really. I guess if you're a pro, you'd find it pretty easy, but fun nonetheless. And the par 5 I could not see the basket and got my only double bogey.

Nice cooperative effort between the USFS (Land), Mammoth Lakes (Baskets, pads) and the designers.
