* Remote location and not a multi use area. It's strictly a disc golf park. You won't run into crowds. When we played here we saw one other person.
* Big open shots. There are very long shots here with few obstructions.
* No water to lose your discs.
* Cement pads with tee signs that include distance and maps.
* Latrine

* There's no water, but there is a ocean of nearly waist high grass in which to lose discs!
* No obstructions. There are almost no trees. Most of the shots are just long open lines. Some might consider that boring.
* Maps are not always clear and distances were often wrong.
* No shade.
*Difficult to find if you're not from the area. GPS kept leading us to the middle of the course, but not the actual parking area. Had to drive around for awhile to find it.

We were excited to play this course because it was advertised as being big and long (which is true). The number one reason it got bad reviews from me is because of the knee high grass covering half the course. We spent 20 minutes on the first hole looking for discs. We eventually reached the point where the first guy would throw, we would guide him to his disc. Then the 2nd guy throws and he marks it, and so on. It was time consuming and frustrating, but better then searching for discs all day. At one point my buddy threw an up shot that landed in some grass not more than 30 feet from me. I walked to the exact spot I saw it land and we spent 5 minutes shifting grass to find it...... so ridiculous! This was in early May!! The grass is only going to get longer.
I think we were all tired of this course by the end. I'm not from Spanish but if I was I'm not sure I'll every play it again.

An excellent place to practice long drives and windy drives. The course is in a rock and gravel pit near a wind power plant.
Good use of the available elevation changes.
Good tee pads.

No trees. Other than weeds and occasional hills, there are really no obstacles here.
Inconsistent signage. The map at the beginning is confusing, as are the hole maps that show insignificant elevation changes. (Hole 5 is easy to throw the wrong direction; hole 15 lists a distance of 290 feet when it is clearly closer to 600).
While some of the holes are well tended, some have rampant weed problems (hole 7 in particular).
Little variety. Almost every hole plays so long that the elevation changes make almost no difference between the holes.

What a shame that such awesome tee pads, signs, baskets, time and energy went into such a terrible course. I have played it twice just to make sure that my initial reaction wasn't hasty. The first time it was so windy it was almost unplayable, and the second there was lighter wind but the weeds were out of control.

There are some really good pros to this course. As I mentioned, the tee pads are fantastic. Uniform and just the right length. There are beginner and pro tee pads on most of the holes.

The signage is fantastic. Every hole has a good sign with directions to the basket. This can really help out with finding some baskets since some are a mile and a half away. Ok, maybe 700+ ft, but in the wind it may as well be a mile and a half.

The layout flows pretty well. You don't have to search for the next tee and it navigates great without a map. This is good because the map at the entrance to the park is not very accurate.

Oh boy, here goes the list of things that makes me want to cry because I want to love this course so much but just can't.

First of all, for all the hard work and expense that went in to this course it is in the crappiest location you could ever ask for. Located in an old gravel pit makes the course extremely hazardous to your discs. Add to that the fact that you are often throwing off of 30-40 ft hills which means that your disc often turns over and crashes hard on it's edge, and you can see that this is a recipe for a disc manufacturer's dream.

Wind! Who in their right mind puts a disc golf course at the bloody mouth of Spanish Fork canyon across from a wind farm? Now normally I love long holes, throwing 700 ft holes in 2 throws is great, but it is hell when you don't have an arm or disc that is friendly to windy conditions, like most people.

The weeds are insane. There is june grass everywhere! Most holes the weeds are up above my knees already and it's only June 2nd. The first time I played this course back in late March it wasn't bad, but now it's a pain in the back side to find your discs, particularly when you bomb it. You will certainly not want to make the mistake I did today either and wear shorts and lower shoes. I think I spent more time picking june grass out of my socks and shoes than I did playing the course.

For how much time was put into signage you would think they would at least attempt to get the distances more accurate on them. Hole 15 said it was 300 ft, for example, but it was easily 500+. There were a few others that were way shorter than the signs stated.

There are virtually no obstacles. Some may consider this a pro, but it really doesn't force you to have to use a variety of throws at all. So on one hand you have a course that seems great for a beginner because you can throw however you want, but on the other some of the holes are so long that it's not that great of a beginner course either.

Also because there are absolutely no trees there is also absolutely no shade. It gets hot quick, and with the wind blowing you get parched rapidly. I highly suggest plenty of water. Or don't bring any and use that as an excuse to not have to finish this dreadful course.

I have played arid and dry courses, and courses that aren't in the greatest of locations, and windy courses, and rocky courses, and even courses overgrown with weeds, and have loved all of them, but to combine all of them into one course makes this one of my least favorite courses to date. It really is such a shame because those tee pads, baskets and signs are all outstanding, but they just can't make up for the terrible location. I want to both hug the city of Spanish Fork for giving it a try, and kick them between the legs for failing.

Do yourself a favor, drive an extra 15 min and play Jolley's Ranch. You can thank me when you're done.
