Pros:
The view from this course is breathtaking. You get to play a course that is on top of a mountain. There are other things to do while you are up there.
Cons:
The T boxes could be better but remember, this is also a ski mountain. I would not expect them to pour concrete pads for a free course. The 22 dollar fee for the gondola was worth it to me.
Other Thoughts:
Yes there was a lot of hiking on this course. It is on the side of a mountain. This is one of the reasons I wanted to play it. Watch out for hole 11, if you bank right it is not forgiving. The back nine are the hardest to traverse. If you didn't want to play the course, there are other activities you can do. I wish I would have brought my bike and rode back down the path to the bottom. I will play it again next year if I get the chance.
