Beautiful location with a great mix of elevation, backhand/forehand holes, and short technical holes. The wind will really change how you play some holes. On a sunny weekend I found it relatively uncrowded. Teepads were in good shape, though a one could step off the drop on the end onto rocky ground. Signage was very good. I really liked having some longer holes mixed in to try to rip a drive through the tree trunks.

Like many technical courses, a couple of the holes have so many trees it becomes more luck than skill on getting through for a reasonable putt. Hole 16 in the long position comes to mind, but that's a small complaint. It would be ideal if the USFS would permit some strategic thinning in a few places as young trees grow.

I found playing hole 18 the first time I was still able to find the fairway seams on that hole. It was a blast, and had a long look for an eagle putt, but settled for a bird. Doesn't quite have the character of Turtle Rock in Markleeville prior to being burned over, but I wouldn't get board playing here.

Beautiful course north of Truckee. Excellent tee pads with tee signs and huge benches at every tee. Multiple pin locations on just about every hole. DGA Mach 5 baskets that are in great condition with "Next tee" signs on every basket. Course is laid out making excellent use of the trees. This is quite possibly the closest I have ever seen to a perfect course. I just wish I lived closer. If this is your home course then you are a lucky S.O.B.

Very limited cell service (that could also be a pro). No water or bathroom due to the course being far off the beaten path. On the weekends, the parking lot fills up with boat trailers, which can make parking a challenge. The big negative is hole 18. What a way to ruin such a wonderful course.

I love this course. I played it as it was designed the first time around. After that I started on hole 5, skipped 18 and replayed 8 & 9 to bring me back down to finish the course with 1 through 4. 13,14, and 15 are the money shots playing along the lake. It would be an epic day just playing 12 through 17 three or four times. On to the big issue with this course. Hole 18. You can't see the basket from the tee. You can even see the basic direction of where the basket might be. I drove from the tee pad in the direction I thought the basket might be. Didn't see my disc land, so I had to search for a bit. My second shot, I still couldn't see the basket and I just hucked in the general direction I thought the basket might be? My third shot, I still couldn't see the basket and had no clue where it was. My fourth shot, I STILL COULDN'T SEE THE BASKET OR HAD ANY CLUE WHERE IT WAS! My fifth shot, I could now see the basket and I realized I was WAAAY off course. My sixth shot was finally an upshot. My seventh shot was a missed putt. Eight banged the chains. What a joke. It hurt my soul to have this garbage leave the lasting impression for this masterpiece of a course. I'll admit that I don't have 500' distance. If you do have that kind of an arm, I'm certain you will spend a lot of time looking for that drive as you won't see the last 300' of its flight. Why didn't they just have 18 go down towards the lake and then have a 19th hole link everything together? If I had cell service, then I could have used UDisc to give me better direction. Skipping 18 and replaying 8&9 is a doable work around, just not ideal. Don't get me wrong, I love this course. I'm only critical as I feel this course is so close to being perfect.

This course is a great addition to the area with a fair amount of variety of holes and shots.
-Multiple pin placement holes, and they seem to change them frequently. Two rounds in the past two weeks there and saw a few different placements on the second time through.
-Large grippy tee pads at every hole.
-Large signs with distance to each pin placement and aerial imagery. Pin location indicated by a washer beneath the sign like most courses around here. Also, signs under the basket point towards the next tee
-Log benches at every hole fit in well with the forest aesthetic.
-Excellent scenery along the reservoir
-Variety in hole length and shot shapes.
-Just the right amount of elevation. You have to play some ups and downs, but it doesn't completely work you.

Holes 13-15 play near the water, though each can be played safely. 13 is a straight shot to A, so just don't overshoot into the water. 14 plays downhill to the basket so there's a little bit more risk/reward, but can easily played conservatively for par. 15 is more fun as it invites a RHBH thrower to throw a big anny over the shoreline for an easy deuce, but it's easier said than done. LHBH, or a strong RHFH will love this line. The more conservative RHBH throw here requires navigating a much tighter line through the trees but it is doable.

Not much to complain about for a free course for everyday play. Remote but that's part of the beauty.
-No facilities at the course, but plenty of trees to pee on. Bring water if it's hot.
-Trails between some holes/pin placements could use a little work.
-Front 9 is pretty short. Not a lot of opportunities to bring out the high speed discs.
-Brush on the ground can swallow a disc, but that's the norm around these parts.

Even coming from Truckee, I would suggest driving via the Hirschdale Rd. exit of I-80. Follow this road, turning into Stampede Dam Rd. north across the railroad tracks, and past the Boca reservoir. Stay on this road 6-7 miles until it's intersection with Dog Valley Rd. Turn left on Dog Valley, cross over the dam, then shortly after passing Logger campground, turn right on the boat ramp access rd. This route is arguably more scenic, but also faster roadway as the pavement is much nicer. Coming from Reno, this would be the fastest route, but even those coming from the west might appreciate it.
