Enjoyable and well groomed 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very enjoyable course. Tight fairways and a variety of shots to play. Fairways were mowed and the rough was definitely rough in a few places but no problem finding discs.

Cons:

First round may take an extra minute or two finding the proper tee off areas as they are flat coloured circles on the ground. This is OK tho cause it let's them mow over them and a mowed fairway is sweet.

Other Thoughts:

Follow the mowed trail to find the next hole first time around.

Great course in a tucked-away spot 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 21, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great course design. The course makes great use of the terrain, paths, and elevation. Some fantastic par 4s and 5s to challenge your driving accuracy. The design utilizes OB well and I love the use of the fence on hole 18 to shape your approach.

There is a fantastic mix of tight vs open shots to test all aspects of your game. Also a good mix of left- and right-turning shots. There are some fun ace runs as well.

Each hole has a blue, white, and red tee which makes the course enjoyable for all skill levels. There is ample parking, a port-a-potty on site, a shelter, and a playground all at the beginning of the course.

Tee signs are easy to follow. There are also two huge signs at the beginning of the course explaining disc golf and the rules, but having two of them seems redundant. Also, there is a 2012 Alberta Tour schedule which is outdated and isn't required.

Cons:

The baskets are the biggest con. They are uninviting and the chains are extremely heavy (on the front 9). The back 9 baskets catch better but they aren't as sturdy.

Hole 5 has a mando off the tee, but the pole that is used as the mando is only a few feet tall. It's impossible to tell if you made the mando unless a spotter stands right at it to let you know if you crossed on the right side of it or not.

I understand that the bugs can be quite the nuisance, but we recently played after a rainstorm so we didn't experience much in the way of mosquitoes.

Other Thoughts:

If you miss a fairway, you will be punished hard. The rough can act like a jungle on most of the holes. Stay on the fairway and you'll score well.

Use a spotter as often as you can. Lots of holes are big bombs that can punish inaccurate drives.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 5, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

World class course! It has everything, long holes, short holes, technical tunnel shots, elevation changes, OB, open fields, 3 teeboxes per hole, par 4's, and even a legitimate par 5. It is an excellent challenge especially from the pro tees.

Cons:

- It's in Wetaskiwin
- long grass can make finding your disc quite difficult
- a few of the holes are quite swampy depending on the time of year (especially holes 5, 7 and 8)
- probably not the best course for beginner players, but there are short tees to play from.

Other Thoughts:

Of the courses ive played across Canada this is one of the very best. If you are ever in the Edmonton area be sure to give it a try.
