As others have stated, the tee pads, baskets, and signage are all top notch. The layout is at times quite brilliant with elevated tees and good use of the topography. (We played the orange course) I applaud the effort and the initiative.

A few primary concerns: 1 many of the holes are unnecessarily long. This course is already much harder than most courses, the added length is not required. 2 many baskets are not visible from the tee pad (without the solid signage you'd be totally lost, even with it we were lost 3 times). I know that being able to see the basket is not a requirement, however, on the other mountain courses I've played, an obvious fairway was present. None of these holes save maybe 1 or 2 have an obvious fairway.

This course reminds me of climbing areas (I am a climber) where a really good climber develops a wall capable of a variety of routes but only puts up the really hard climbs. This is all well and good in an area where there are other options for newer climbers but doesn't do much to grow the sport beyond a few elites. This course or group of courses would do well to adjust the courses (there appear to be 3 out there) to be a beginner, intermediate, & expert in my opinion. There were young families and what appeared to be college age newcomers I observed who played the first 2-3 holes and left due to the difficulty. As there are no other courses around, it seemes like the designers missed an opportunity to create something that would grow the sport by building skill and confidence. It's not too late to modify it though IMO.
