Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful views of the valley. Extremely challenging. Good mix of par 3 to 5. Long, steep downhill shot on 18 is very cool. Probably a 400 foot vertical drop from the tee to the basket, 700 feet away.

Cons:

Poorly laid out in some areas. When you are standing on the tee pad for 1, looking at the sign, you see a basket in front of you. If you throw at it, you are wasting time. That's actually the basket for 18. The basket for 1 is the opposite direction, behind a giant billboard. 2 plays uphill through an electric fence, which thankfully wasn't on, and the basket is inside one of the chair lift towers. 3-6 play back and forth through the fence. 5 has no tee pad. 7 looks like a straight, uphill shot, but that's actually the basket for 16. The basket for 7 is actually back on the other slope you just left, behind the shack. Another discer was kind enough to point out my error, while screaming obscenities at me and my kids. Course continues up the hill through 12, no tee pad for 10, then you finally head downhill on 13 and 14, back up the hill on 15, then downhill for the rest.

Other Thoughts:

It's a seasonal course, so it has to be minimalist for easy set up and takedown, but a little better signage telling you which way to throw, where the correct basket is, etc, would make it better. If you have never played the course, it can be very confusing, and guidance from other players may come at a price. The course may be a good use of the space, but the course layout is abyssmal. Signage giving better direction to unfamiliar players would be worth another 1.0. Abscence of rude jerks would have been worth 0.5 more.
