Speaking of Boyne...As I recall there are like 2 horribly uphill holes. Uphill is bad enough but I remember those fairways to be super duper sandy and excruciating to walk up. I get why there has to be uphill holes but with all the land do they have to be THERE?
Boyne is not a bad course, just fails to take advantage of some potential. They are limited in the area they have decided to put the course. There are a plethora of ancillary activities, made available to guests, in addition to disc golf. Walking paths, golf, zip lines, ATV's, bicycling, mountain biking... all vying for the same area. The area is determined by adjacency and convenience to the lodges. The starting hole is kind of determined by the chairlift and the final hole needs to come back to the lodges. While they could take away the sand holes, better quality is limited still and not a sure thing.
I have always enjoyed some of the benefits of resort golf, maybe to the tune of accepting some flaws in the design. A beautiful chair ride up to the first hole, a quick sandwich and couple beers to go, a mostly downhill track and a dip in the pool with a couple cold ones, when done. :clap:
