Played the course:once
Pros:
Baskets - Discatchers are always a welcome site
Views - Just beautiful land and view all throughout the course
Easy to get to and easy parking. Seems like there could be some good amenities on the course but the ski shack was not open when I was there.

Cons:
Teepads - For a course that is rated this high I would have expected some concrete teepads but instead they have worn down dirt pads that many times were not long enough to get a run up on.
The Course - I was again expecting something better from this course since it is so highly rated. Most shots were in the 250'-300' range and most had odd shots that needed to be thrown to get to the hole. Basket placements were good but lines to them were not.
There is no indicator for what pin placement the hole is in so you have to run up the fairway on every shot to know which one you are throwing to.
Everything is just overgrown, you get off the fairway or even get on the fairway and you could be looking for a while for your disc.

Other Thoughts:
I would feel very comfortable covering every shot on this course with just a Roc and an Aviar which should not be the case for a course rated 4.4
Multiple holes were taken out for construction
I have heard for years about how amazing this course is and was excited to finally play it but I was completely let down and do not ever plan on going back. This is just not a good course and I cant see how it is rated so high.

Designer response by superberry
Absolutely right about the lack of maintenance and ski hill construction efforts. Upkeep has been placed on hold, waiting for whatever the ski hill guys are doing. The local group of volunteers take on small little upkeep and beautification projects along the way. As far as the challenge aspect, well it was designed as a Blue level PDGA course so yes a 1000 rated pro should be able to tackle it with a Aviar and a Roc. If you can bomb a Roc 450+ feet that's awesome, otherwise you'll still not be able to reach holes 1 (440' temp hole), 15 (715' blue tee), 16 (480' blue tee), and 17 (390' with 90 degree dogleg and OB inside it) - so there is still a distance challenge. Best played in late fall or early spring.
