Underrated 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 3, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course is just a short trip up the canyon from Ogden and offers some great views in the mountains with a lot of fresh air.

They just installed (today) new rubber tee pads that are really nice. Fully framed and solid for throwing. It's a huge improvement from what was there previously. The amateur pads are still wood chips, but that's acceptable to me.

The staff is extremely helpful in providing a course map and directions.

They make pretty good use of elevation changes. You get a couple uphill (Holes 1 and 5) throws and a few downhill (6, 8 and 9) with some level ones mixed in.

Tee signs are very helpful. They make it easy to determine where the baskets are, (not that it's hard they are almost all out in the wide open). The distance ratings seem off to me though, the holes were really short.

Cons:

The course is kind of bitter sweet. They had all this potential and instead they only utilize trees on holes 5 and 7, the rest are wide open shots, most of which can be hit with your mid or putter. Even the elevation shots downhill are so short that I overthrew them with my putter (6 and 8).

The baskets are Disc Catcher temp baskets with one ring of chains. Again, so close but flopping at the end. I only chained out on one hole in two rounds but still.

The new tee pads are a tad short. This doesn't matter too much as you don't need a runup on most of the holes, but on the ones you may want one they are about a foot or two short. Not a huge con.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I was pleasantly surprised with this course. It's not amazing by any means, but it is certainly better than the 2.08 it had at this writing. Even without the new tee pads I'd have rated it a solid 2.5+ so with them it gets a 3.

The course is being re-designed in the spring, at which time this course review will be out-dated anyhow. They are only planning to do 9 holes still which is disappointing.

Basin 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 19, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

course is located on an upscale ski resort with million dollar logdes and restrooms to match. A resturaunt is located at the top. disc golf equipment is available to rent. free score cards when you buy a lift pass. Beautiful environment for dgolf. The bottom loop is free to play.

Cons:

high price for a lift ticket to only play nine holes. The fee seems to be going up every year.
- Discatcher sports.
-rough, undeveloped tee pads

Other Thoughts:

course was redesigned in 2007. The new design is big improvement from what was almost an impossible layout.
this course has the potential to be world class, someday.
Great get away for other activities too.
