Pros:
Wow, writing a review on a course after Mr. Stengele and Mr. Sillybiz have previously written one is like writing a sequel to "Gone With The Wind" or something. What to add? I'll start with the hospitality shown me by , first Ron and then by the owner of the land, Lavina. Good folk, they are to welcome you up here to their world. To drive you up here and share this experience with others with. Thanks Ron and Lavina!
The course is a composite (on a slightly smaller scale) of many of the other great private courses I've been fortunate to play around the country such as Daliwood, Lucky Mud and Horning's Hideout ,all here in the Pacific Northwest as well as Braxton's Bluff in North Carolina which was a top 10 nationally rated course until it's closed a couple of years ago. They all are able to incorporate those quirky, down-home touches which made their course truly unique. Among the many of those unique and unusual in evidence here are;
The 20 hand carved tee signs.
The handmade hanging bamboo targets.
A Rainier Beer Keg as a Target-Makes a great tone.
# 3 an old boat in the middle of the hole.
The crazy hyper dog.
The llamas Stormy and Oats!
Night glow golf in the middle of a Forrest!
Halloween tourney!
Cons:
The fact that the course is non-accesible. Currently, the only way to play it is to contact Ron and make arrangements to meet him and then ride up with him. Not that this isn't an enjoyable way to go. It's just for everyone.
The course plays at an easy intermediate level. Although very technical in nature, it's shorter length will leave some players probably wanting to show ff those big arms.
The rough can be very unforgiving here. There is lots of rough. For basically one person (Ron) to stay ahead of all this growth on a part time basis would be impossible. So expect to spend some time looking for your discs. We lost one on the first hole but found two.
Other Thoughts:
One thing I love about disc golf is just being out in the parks or out in the woods. Being out here was like taking that feeling to another level. To me, there was almost something kind of spiritial about the entire experience.
It was built to remember a brother who passed well before his time. This awesome piece of land which feels like it's a million miles from civilization. It's the people here. It's Zen. It's Karma. Maybe it's disc golf in the truest sense.
