Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Fun throws! Lots of elevation in play. Mostly downhill throws but a few steep uphill mixed in. Most fairways pretty open, but often entering technical and/or guarded greens.

+ Tee pads are in great shape, which really makes the bigger throws more rewarding. (I've played a number of ski resort courses, and these were by far the best tees!)

+ Baskets in good condition and catch well.

+ Just gorgeous terrain. LOTS of elevation in play, and pre-cleared ski runs form very clearly defined fairways.

Cons:

- This is just my experience: The locals don't seem to have much appreciation for pace of play. It seems customary to glob together in groups of 6-8. A lot of imprecise throws lead to a lot of time searching for discs. Most of the groups were very cordial about letting a pair of skilled throwers play through. But oh man, it only takes one obstinate eightsome to waste a bunch of other peoples' time.

- By mid summer, foliage gets DENSE and you really have to watch where your disc lands. You will still spend some time looking, but hopefully not lose anything.

- Mountain bike trails wind around & through most of the holes. In some cases there are signs warning about the disc golf course, but they seem to get ignored most of the time.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a fun course in beautiful country. I would love to play it again, but maybe in the morning before a bunch of locals clog it up.

I guess if you're looking for a place to turn up some tunes and hang out with a half dozen friends for 4 hours, this course is perfect!

Really hate to ding the course so bad because of one slow round, but the pace of play really honestly detracted from my experience. The average course rating of 4.3 seems a little bit generous to me; maybe gets some benefit for the novelty of riding a ski lift? (However, 4.3 does seem to be the average group size that plays the course, and the average number of throws per hole among those groups, and the average number of minutes spent looking for each disc...)
