Pros:
I erroneously believed that finding the disc course in a small town like Clark Fork would be a piece of cake. Highway 200 goes right through the town. Turn north on Stephens. Nope, I couldn't find Stephens Street. I did get an excellent tour of Clark Fork before finally asking a local for directions. And still I never saw a Stephen Street sign.
The course is set behind the high school football stadium. There was one gate open. It's a flat but moderately wooded area. The course has nine fairways and two sets of baskets, the blues and the yellows Discatchers. Each hole has two pads, one concrete and one natural. The blue front nine 1-9 are somewhat easier while the yellow back nine 10-18 using the natural pads provide more challenge. You can usually find one basket on each side of the fairway. There are lots of next tee signs around the course.
There really wasn't a signature hole but the course can be tackled in a variety of ways. The way old cheating course baggers play it is by playing both nines simultaneously. Accuracy would help in this endeavor. I'm sure that locals have discovered to mix up the tees and sometimes play an entire 18 from the concrete or from the natural tees which is a greater challenge.
The Stephen Street magical mystery tour was taking me away.
Cons:
I'm sure this can be blamed on my advancing dementia but I never found the 6/15 tee pads. I saw the signs after yellow # 5, preceded to search but never found the tee area.
The flat course is somewhat bland compared to all the wonderfully hilly courses in Idaho.
Other Thoughts:
This is a solid small town course. With the dual pads and two sets of baskets, local players should be able to keep their interest levels up. This is not a destination course but just a nice throw in small town, Idaho. It's a stunning drive up here from Sandpoint along the magnificent Lake Pend Oreille. But then again, most every drive up here in northern Idaho is fabulous.
I'm not sure if I'm straight on this being a rough ball golf course? If one were to try and play ball golf here, I would assume that you would get a world if practice from playing from the rough and the fringe rough as there are no golf fairways, no greens and I didn't see any flags or cups.
