Pros:
Fun Mountain Discgolf thru a Fir and Larch Forrest
Course Map at Hole 1
Gold Painted Teeposts at Every Tee greatly Helps in Navigation
Drives are generally Straight Forward, thru Moderate to Heavy Woods
Good Diversity of Hole Lengths
Drove Putters, Mids, and Fairways
Two 9 Hole Loops
Front has single chained Bright Yellow (Lightning?) Baskets
Tees are Natural and are Framed (4'x10') with Wood Posts on Three sides, pointing you to the Basket
Back has Bright Yellow painted wood post Targets (4or6" OD)
Tees are also Framed on Three sides, but use Rocks and Deadwood, currently
The Front Basketed Loop plays inbetween the two Ridges, where there's less Elevation, especially for Mountain Dg
There is still some Elevation in Play on five of the Holes, typically around the Greens... which is something I Like about the Design
The Back Loop uses the Elevation of the two Ridges, and kicks things up a notch, which I also Enjoyed

Cons:
Trimming some Branches on some Fairways and or Over Tees, could be Useful
Teeposts, Baskets, and or Targets Not Numbered... and no Teesigns, Currently

Other Thoughts:
Trails to Next Tee aren't Worn/Obvious
Most Tees are Visible from the prior Target, but there's some not obvious
2 6 8 10 11 & 18
Cross Path to the Right on both 15 n 16
Bring a Copy of the Map first time thru
Natural Tees and Half Objects, aren't something I'm gonna complain about in Cons section
Account for it, and have Fun
Steeep Ridge Hiking on 11 & 14
16 17 & 18 play down a Ridge near Morrell Creek
Thicker Vegetation and Deadfall down there, with a Blind Target for 17 and a Long walk to 18, thru possibly Prickly stuff
Proper Footwear Recommend
After the hike up from 18, I'd Safari to 2 and 1 Baskets, going back to the Vehicle

Nice little course! 2+ years drive by

Pros:
Talk about no crowds, I'm not sure we've ever seen anyone else on the course!
Most of the course is in the woods, so it stays fairly cool in the summer.
First half of the course is near Morrell Creek, so there's water for the dogs.
Decent variety of holes. All but a couple are short, but to score well you will use several shots. This is a great course for beginners and kids. At the same time there are enough trees to keep it from being too easy for experienced players.

Cons:
Only 9 holes.
Nothing like a signature hole.
No basket on #9. There's an old tire that we've always figured is the target.

Other Thoughts:
We have a cabin up in Seeley Lake and I don't even remember how we first stumbled across this small disc golf course, but now we play it at least once almost every time we visit. Nothing spectacular, but its a great dog walking course. I especially like hole #7 as it is the one "huck" hole where you can throw for distance. Still looking for our first ace on this course, but my (then) 13 year old hit the chains on #8.
Located directly behind the high school. After playing, your kids can run around the football field and try out the long jump pit.
