While the adjacent 18-hole Brewster Ridge course plays primarily in the woods, this is meadow golf. I'll come back to that in a second. First off, with the more open nature of the course, the views here are spectacular. The Green Mountains loom just across the street. Of the 180+ courses I've played, this is absolutely in the top 5 for scenery.

Back to meadows. You don't need heavily wooded holes to make for good design. Hole 1 may be is my favorite hole of any of the 36 holes on site. The blue and gold tees shoot across a grassy marshy area to the landing area on the other side. There maybe a dozen trees dot the fairway for the rest of the several hundred feet to the basket. There are landing zones, and your preferred throwing style will dictate where you want to land. It's a pretty, well manicured hole that has good design.

Hole 2 is a fun tunnel shot down a slight hill with a guardian rock and the Green Mountains in the background to distract you.
Among the middle holes, I like 10 and 11. Hole 10 is a downhill valley hole with the basket on the upslope and dangerous ridges beyond. Hole 11 is a straight shot finishing with a downhill rightward lean into the woods, forcing a great drive to set up the right line to the basket.

Hole 14 is another great hole, playing along the hilly electrical easement. The blue and gold tees shoot from a little ridge with a big bump in the middle of the fairway that you need to clear before the fairway descends on the other side and curves to the left. Fun shot.

Hole 18 is a great tournament finishing hole. Seriously, watch the 2016 and 2017 Green Mountain Championships. There is an opportunity to gain strokes here with phenomenal shots, and Nikko Locastro (2016) and Michael Johannsen (2017) put forth a valiant effort to do so.

Most of the tee pads are just grass. The gold tees were permanent, but the blues the rest were grass when I played.

So much of the course's challenge is defined by artificial OB (lined by stakes). Sometimes this follows some contours of the land, but othertimes not. I don't love this. Holes 4-14 all have this feature to varying degrees.

The middle holes are more "open with OB" than the meadow characteristics I really enjoy with the beginning and ending holes.

One last thing: the transition from hole 3 to 4 and from 13 to 14 is long. The original 9 holes (1-3 and 14-18) are not right next to the other holes.

I played the blue tees. The gold tees have rubber pads but the others are just stakes in the ground, so if you're a less than stellar player, the tee pads are underwhelming.

I'm excited that this property got the World Championships for 2018. It is worthy. I do hope that it enables the final touches to both Fox Run and Brewster Ridge to complete these courses. Top among those is putting in tees that aren't just stakes in the ground (other than the golds).

I said it in my review of Brewster Ridge, but it shouldn't be understated: this area is one of the best parts of the country. I've been to 48 states, and Vermont is among the best. If you like great disc golf, or excellent hiking, or challenging skiing, or exceptional beer, or just being around people who are very happy to be where they are, you should not overlook this corner of the country.

Well kept, beautiful course with huge, long wide open fairways.

Nice course, but my group of 4 novices all agreed that after playing the companion Smugglers Notch - Brewster Ridge course (which we all loved) this course was somewhat frustrating for all of us. We are all novice players. Even playing the red and white tees this is a long course that starts to wear on you. We are sure it's awesome if you can throw long shots, but beginners should stick to Brewster Ridge until they can handle the distances.

Some decent variety but the middle 10 holes start to feel repetitive.

Long walks, but honestly if you can't handle them go bowling or something ... so not actually a con. Plus it's gorgeous.
