ELEVATE YOUR GAME 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 23, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Super clean park and clubhouse.
- Has a disc golf country club vibe when you arrive but plays like a backwoods mountain course.
- Large turf tee pads grip and cushion really well & the grass was freshly cut.
- Extreme elevation changes up and downhill with great scenic views.
- Unique mix of terrain and foliage throughout the course that offers great variation and enables imagination and creativity with shot shape and variety.

Cons:

- Would not recommend bringing a cart. There are a few serious walks, between 4 & 5 is a long uphill beast and getting to 16 isn't fun either.
- Walking between hole 9 and 10 seems like a wasted opportunity for another hole, or even an opportunity for a long basket location for hole 9.
- A few barbed wire lines are up by the green on hole 7, but I appreciate the added difficulty.

Other Thoughts:

#1 offers a beautiful start with large trees lining the cut grass on the long uphill fairway & the turf tee pad on the paved patio looks classy AF. It seems easy to make a long uphill hole with a dogleg difficult, but to also have it be beautiful and fun to play is amazing.

#6 & #7 can also be added to the list of of difficult, fun, and beautiful holes.

#9 was probably the most fun shot to throw. The extreme downhill elevation makes the distance seem like nothing.

#10 was particularly beautiful and seemed like it could be the first hole from parts unknown, plus two timber bridges add to the overall beauty.

#13, 14, 17 & 18 Extreme downhill elevation changes are pretty epic and fun to throw, but I left feeling like a super long downhill bomber shot was missing. I walked up to the pad on 17 and saw the basket for 18 and left a little disappointed that wasn't the finishing hole on this awesome property.

There is potential to have a gold level championship layout here with the land that's available, especially adding some real length to a few downhill holes.

Added to my favorites and is a must play destination in the area.

Holy elevation 2+ years

Pros:

I don't do reviews often so go easy on the votes, but I had such a different experience than the other two reviews that I felt like I needed to write one.

I am not really sure where to start, but this course is going to whoop your butt from a physical stand point. You are walking up and down some crazy hills. It took me and 2 friends (965, 964, 900) over 2 hours to play one round today. I will admit that we had a hard time finding a couple tees, but there were signs with arrows pointing the direction you needed to go for the next tee on every hole. Sometimes for the longer walks there were multiple signs making sure you were still going the correct way. In regards to the rough, we had to look for 1 disc in the rough today the entire round so the fairways are more than fair and you shouldn't really be in the rough on too many of the holes. If you don't know how to throw down a hill, I could see you getting in trouble, but this course is clearly designed for advanced to open players. They are also still working on the course. We ran into two guys widening one of the fairways who works at the facility who also mentioned that they are planning on adding short pads next summer. The turf pads were also really nice and was my first experience using any sort of turf pad.

I am not going to go into every single hole, but two of the more memorable ones were one that had a creek running through it with two bridges you needed to cross to get from the tee to the basket and the other was one that was so downhill I feel like you could have thrown a brick and even though it was 350'+ away, it still would have made it there. I don't know how anyone who loves this game wouldn't love the challenge of throwing up the hills and the joy of throwing down them and watching your disc soar.

Cons:

As mentioned above there was some times that you had some pretty long walks between holes so that is always a con. I also would have loved to see the course be even longer. There is so much land and yet there is only one par four. This could have been a crazy championship level course that something like the toboggan only could have rivaled. Maybe some day. My last con is you keep seeing these amazing views and you see the open ski runs, and you never get to throw a 1000' downhill bomb. We ended up throwing a couple extra shots down to 18s basket from 17s pad because that should be the final hole.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I loved it and will be coming back for sure. It is more a destination course than a course that you will be able to go play on a Wednesday night. You are going to be out of breath, sweaty, and sore when you are done, but you are going to love the challenge and the uniqueness that this course has from anything else in the area. There is no way this course is anything less than a four.
