- Lots and lots of elevation both up and down
- Plenty of obstacles/trees, bushes, big rocks, hills, etc.
- Two mini 'top of the world' holes for your putter or mid
- Interesting basket locations reward the brave and accurate
- Really good views of the surrounding mountains and town
- Isolated from other park users, this is a DG only area

- Difficult to navigate without Udisc
- Blind basket locations are hard to scout when you're throwing off of a hill.
- Favors RHBH or LHFH players heavily
- Potential for lost discs or long searching times
- Spotters are almost required
- NOT for beginners

This place was a surprise. I was in the area and loaded this up, didn't look at any information about it, thought it was going to be your typical 9 hole course and boy was I shocked. This is the most rugged 9 hole course I've ever played, and one of the best as well. I really disagree with overall rating of this course and I think it's well worthy of a replay the next time I'm in this area. Now that I know where the baskets and tee pads are I think it'll be easier the next time. This is not built for a 15 minute round for the baggers, that being said it's a very unique course especially for a 9 holer. Come and check this place out, I think you'll enjoy it.

-not 18 holes
-great course to burn calories
-concrete tee pads
-markers with hole number at tee pad
-a few of the baskets have long metal poles sticking high up to make seeing them easier
-looked like multiple pin positions on some of the holes
-map by hole 1
-nice views of Provo and all the way out to Utah Lake

-I believe 8 of the 10 holes are blind from the tee pads
-no basket number on the baskets
-possibly of slipping and tumbling several feet down a canyon is present on most holes
-throwing your favorite discs is not an option (unless you have a tracking devise in it or a good spotter)
-no hole map or distances at the tee pads (pictures on this site are outdated)
-beginners, intermediate and advanced golfers probably won't enjoy this course

WARNING #1 Despite being in a holy land full of beautiful church buildings and temples and some of the friendliest people you will ever meet, the Rock Canyon devil lives at this course and he wants to make you miserable.
WARNING #2 Do not play when it's 97 degrees (unless you are on vacation and are one of those hardcore crazy golfers who will do anything to check another course off your list)

Holes 1 and 2 start out ok, but after that it gets nasty. Brush and mid-size trees line the fairways (if you call walking paths fairways), baskets are in tough locations, and the possibility of losing your disc is real on every hole.
90 minutes in I was so glad to make it to hole 9 and see the basket from the tee pad way down below for this awesome way to finish up the course, but then my brother in law reminded me that it's 10 holes and the 10th is a huge downhill, but of course, it's so steep that you can't even watch your disc fly down towards the basket- just flick and hope.
It's a battle for disc golf survival out there. I wish you luck and more sense than me!

+hilly, good workout for the legs
+scenic views of the valley
+concrete tee pads

-easy to lose discs in the rough
-there's routes to every basket but a couple routes fly over thick sagebrush and so upshots don't always have good footing
-baskets are not pretty and are not championship caliber
-navigation a little tricky, scouting ahead for baskets very necessary on a couple holes
-need good grippy shoes for the rocky terrain

Even though I thought I was being careful by not throwing with 100% power on the blind holes, I still managed to lose two discs on this 10 basket course. Bring the map along, you'll need it. Difficult to locate a couple of the baskets in the sagebrush. I appreciated the climbing up and down on the side of the mountain though---I'm a player that likes a course that is a workout too, and this course delivers in that department.

Course design has a variety of challenging holes. Dense woods, uphill throws, downhill throws, Baskets off to the left and right.
The course is a workout due to all the hills.
Concrete tee pads and a good map at the beginning

Difficult footing, especially on holes 6 and 10.
Sometimes a little difficult to navigate and many holes are better with a spotter.
Extensive undergrowth makes errant throws difficult to retrieve, sometimes impossible to find.
Some graffiti and disrepair on the signage

Not a course for beginners.
Map shows multiple hole placements, but they never seem to move.
It's better to throw your least favorite discs here, in case they get lost.
I typically play an 18 hole variant on this course because it sees such little traffic and is close by. Here's how it goes: after hole 2: play from the tee for 3 to the basket for 9, from the telephone poles near basket 9 to the basket for 8, from the tee for 9 to the basket for 4, from nearby tee 5 to the basket for 3, from nearby the basket for 3 (or tee for 4) to the basket for 2 (this brings you back to the standard hole 3). After the normal hole for 7, play from the tee for 8 to the basket for 5, from near basket 5 to basket 8, from the tee for 9 to the basket for 7, then back to hole 8 to complete the course.

Good workout getting from hole to hole, fun holes. Great view of the valley.

Terrible vision, have a spotter on most holes. Holes aren't that easy to find. Lots of trees in the way.

Not a course for beginners!

Lots of open shots, technically challenging as under/overthrowing can make you pay severely. Lots of FUN holes, opportunities for big Thumbers, huge flex shots, and downhill distance bombs. This course is actually set up to play as 21 holes, playing to the same baskets, if you know the layout. I recently put an updated 21 layout on UDISC, so look for that. Beautiful scenery, good conditions year round.

Rough rocky terrain, requires a great deal of stamina. Lots of shrubbery and hazards, can be very difficult to find your discs when playing alone. I recommend using a spotter on hole 4, 5, 7, 15, and 17, As a 10 hole it's a decent course, learning and playing it as the 21 layout makes it better.

I feel this course is very underrated, although it has seen many recent improvements such as cement teepad, and tall basket markers with reflective tape. Several holes you can't see the basket above the tree line, but you can see the stick sticking out of the basket above it. Great place to hone in overhead techniques, but discs can get lost. The wind can do some crazy things up there. I have seen several shots go hundreds of feet off target. I recommend going with someone who knows the layout, and spot each others shots on longer holes. This course can definitely be played solo, but I would definitely not do it unless you know the course. The 6th time I played here was solo, and I didn't lose any of my discs or get lost. Despite the intense terrain, and dramatic layout it's really not too challenging of a course, but is very fun to play.

This course has such a beautiful view of Utah valley. We played it at a great time of year just after the snow has melted and before the undergrowth has come in. I imagine this course is much more difficult in the late summer months when the undergrowth is long and dead and the leaves on the scrub oak limits visibility.

There is a great variety of shots that you don't find at many courses. Throwing uphill on the first few shots, over gullies and a couple fun downhill throws makes this a tricky but fun little course.

Tee pads and baskets are in great shape. The signs are helpful, especially with the blind shots, but nothing is better than an escort to show you the way.

This is like a mini Solitude, even ending off with a fun little downhill throw.

There are at least three shots that are blind, requiring you to either lay it up or preferably to have a spotter. I've heard from several people that this course is easy to lose discs on, and now I see why.

It is in the foothills of Rock Canyon which can get very dry and covered in june grass in late summer. The trails help with that but if you go off into the rough it can get, well, rough.

Some parts of the trail are kind of slick from loose rocks. I suggest good shoes for hiking. It's also fairly exposed in the sun.

I can see where this course can be very difficult for new and mid-range disc golfers like myself. I don't mind a difficult course to challenge me and this certainly fits the bill.

You will want to download a map if you don't have a guide.

Plan for a hike and be ready to look for your discs. As I stated above I'll be avoiding this course in the late summer.

- Course is set on the side of the foothills surrounding SLC, well away from any of the other park activities. Shouldn't be any chance of interference here.
- Best feature of the course is the elevation changes; they aren't too extreme overall, but they are ever present. The first four holes play up the hillside in varying degrees, and #8 is a good uphill as well. #9 plays over a deep valley, #5 is a bit downhill, #10 is very much downhill, and #6 has a brutally nasty slope on the right to go over. Traversing the course itself takes a lot of ups and downs.
- There aren't many trees to speak of, but there are lots of nasty bushes and giant patches of rough to work around. #1 is either a short RHBH anny/thumber or longer hyzer, #2 is either a short blind flick or a long straight shot, #3 is a blind spike hyzer uphill over a giant patch of rough, #7 is a tunnel shot off the tee with a hyzer finish, and #10 is a straight downhill shot with rough right and long. Lots and lots of blind pin positions.
- Very good mix of hole lengths, there are four holes over 350', and three holes under 250'. Everything from drivers to putters will be needed here.
- Good signs, concrete pads (except #7), and baskets. Navigation can be a little tricky, like getting from #6 to #7; map is helpful the first time through.

- The foliage here doesn't offer many distinct lines that have to be hit, with a few exceptions, bigger arms will be able to simply go over everything without much thought. For everyone else, it's a matter of staying out of the schule.

- Pretty fun course overall, the elevation changes really go a long way. Enough trouble to get into to make each hole tricky and different from the others. Good variety in length and shapes as well. But, the open air above the bushes take a lot of the challenge away.
- Great for beginners and intermediate players, advanced players should have fun but will be able to easily cruise through.

In my opinion it's a great 9-hole course (actually ten-hole...) It has a lot of challenging shots that most other utah & salt lake county courses don't have. There's a lot of throwing both uphill and downhill, and it's a great place to play if you're trying to learn new shots. If you play with or behind someone who has played the coure before, it makes the day much more enjoyable. I wish it were 18-holes, but it's great practice for some of the upper-level courses that require a variation of shots. Try playing it at least 3 times before you give up on it.

This course is set at the bottom of Rock Canyon (hence the name). The setting is beautiful. The view of the mountains and the rest of Utah Valley is gorgeous. The course has a lot of elevation change for shots, and offers obstacles as well to challenge even the pros.

The course is not well defined (I think everyone mentions this), but it is still playable. The big con is that the course is not very playable solo because you really need a spotter on many of the blind shots that are required. This course is in the mountains, there are many ups and downs and if you are not prepared for it, you will be in for a long game.

Bring a good pair of shoes, lots of water, and a spotter, and you will have a good time. I especially like this course in the early evening with the cool mountain breeze.

The view....that's it.

What a disappointment. We only played the first four holes (couldn't even find hole 3) and we had enough. This course is a mess. There are no paths, no maintenance, and the signs are misleading. I'm guessing based on the neighborhood that this course doesn't get a lot of play and probably no one uses it as a home course. I'm going to attempt it again this winter when some of the weeds and shrubs have died out, but I'll be surprised if my time is any better.

Someone needs to fix this course, if not, those baskets should be used somewhere else.

an awsome course with alot of fun holes with some of the diffrent pin placements some are uphill some are down hill some have a ton of trees nice cement teepads and they have started getting signs up there and there is never any1 here

i played that course for a year and i missed hole 3 forever i never found the tee until the last time i played there

play beicentenial (or however u spell it) and uvu and rock canyon and spannish fork they are very close close together and i have aced hole 1A on 9/20/09 with a champ valkyrie and i have aced hole 10 on 2/13/10 with a champ orc
play hole 9's tee to 10's tee that is the very fun hole that i have inveted

Nice cement tee pads, and I really enjoyed the challenge of the elevation change on many of the holes. I was just passing through the area, and only had two putters to play the round with, but it was nice to get out and play again.

Tough to find the holes, especially without a map. Once I found the first tee pad, I basically just threw in the general direction that the pad was facing, then walked around and found the basket. The day I played there were patches of snow still on the ground, so the underbrush wasn't much of an issue. I skipped hole six because I had not read any reviews and didn't know there was no tee pad.

Be sure to download a map from tudg.com before you play, I think it would make it much more enjoyable. Over all It is a fun course, it could just use a little TLC. The view over the valley is very nice also.

Uses hazards along with varying elevation changes to create a pretty challenging 9 holes.

All holes are manageable for birdie attempts, as long as you're throwing from the correct tee pad.

Great view of the Provo valley and Utah Lake.. and NO SIGN OF BYU FANS!!

Lots of varying hazards, and like Solitude you can lose some discs up here if thrown in the wrong spots.

Needs to better mapped out on location. Too easy to get lost or head the wrong direction.

Upgrade signs n maps for course ... clear out some of the unnecessary shrubbery, and create wider flatter paths.

Use TStack Map!

First I will say that I got lost, cut, scraped, skipped a hole, threw my putter 200 feet past basket on drive and thoroughly enjoyed playing this course.

It has great views if you can look past the temple and the Y stadium to see Utah lake.

I enjoyed the hike as several hole are up hill and the terrain can be rough, I fell a couple of times on my bum.

Holes can be very challenging and spotting some baskets can be tough but once you see where they are the holes a very fun to throw.
A lot of trees, rocks and various other terrain add to the difficulty and fair number of holes have some distance to them.

All holes are very fun and challenging.
good baskets and Tee pads say for #6.

Only 9 holes
One tee pad missing
Can be tough to navigate from tee to basket. So here a link to a map
http://tudg.org/files/rock_canyon.pdf

Wouldnt reccoment playing in the rain

#1 straight up hill.
#2 uphill big dogleg right basket hidden in trees right...after two walk back north towards fence them up to #3 tee pad.
#3 long straight nice carry.
#4 nice toss over huge rock in front to tucked pin behind tree on tree line. tough to see from tee walk right pasts rocks to see it.
#5 long carry with steep slope right huge veritcal hill left. luckily someone put white shirt in tree to show you where to aim. Notice here basket bottom painted green? In efforts to camouflage them maybe. lol
#6 no tee pad but threw from road where it was flat.
#7 is right of #6 basket, long throw up hill straight away.
#8 dogleg right towards houses sun lights and right of power poll.
#9 straight downhill, great hole be careful and easy to over shoot. hahaha

It has concrete tees and chains.

Almost impossible to find. No signs, no clear fairway, it is up in a rocky, weedy, dry, hill behind a very well maintained park, but obviosly nobody cares about the disc course. It is unmarked, no signs and I gave up on it after hole 4 because of the heat and work it took to find the next tee and chains before even thowing.

I find it amazing the park below this course is so well maintained, one of the best upkept city parks I have ever seen, yet the disc course is completly ignored. It is really sad those chains are sitting up there not geting hit.

Well, someone, sometime ago, put some work into this place. I applaud them for their effort. The course is set on a sloping hillside with some smaller trees and much underbrush. Bring water!

This rates as probably my all-time worst disc golf experience. We only played the first four holes and every one of them was a disaster. On each, we had to hunt for the basket before throwing. Basically, there were no fairways, just thick, thick disc eating underbrush. We quit after four, not wanting to chance losing any more discs. I did manage one incredibly lucky birdie when I threw blindly into the thick underbrush, throwing to my spotters voice (Helen Keller Style) and my disc landed next to the basket for a gimmee.

Unless you know someone has put forth an amazing effort to clean this place up, I wouldn't even take the time to check it out. As that semi-ancient pop-diva, Dionne Warwick sings, "Just Walk On By."
