Pros:
A very scenic course to drive to and play. Wide variety of moderate elevation changes and shot shapes.
Cons:
While I'm a fan of valley shots, the low/midpoints of #14 (500') and #15 (390') are damp, and filled with thick bushes and trees, and will hide many a disc which fail to clear the aspens between the tee and basket.
Other Thoughts:
Amenities: Pro shop with maps, scorecards, water, discs. Practice basket. Port-a-johns.
Tees/baskets: 13'x8' astroturf atop flattened dirt. Basic/temporary tee signs. Currently single basket, but there appear to be plenty of extra baskets, so I imagine it will be multi-basket in the future.
Navigation: Two 9-hole loops, not far from parking lot. Arrows on bottom of baskets pointing towards next tee. Surveyor flags leading towards next tee. Yellow arrows on trees pointing towards blind baskets. Good map available on-site.
Terrain/Elevation: Continuously undulating, sandy/loose soil, many pines of various sizes, (mostly) minimal undergrowth. Good distribution of flat, down/up-slope, up-n-over, and valleys, which were the most dominant. Elevation changes were mild-to-moderate - no scrambling.
Distances/shot-shaping: 2/3rds of the holes were between 200-350', with the five par-4's ranging from 450-620' Straight off the tee would work well off the tee for about half the holes. A few S-shapes, and left-turns outnumbering rights. No shapes were very extreme. Usually a primary lane or window needed to be hit middle or late, but there were often multiple options to reach the basket, the trees scattered such as to rarely force a single do-or-die approach.
Favourite hole(s): 12&16, similar to each other. Both started slightly upslope, with a broad window to hit 200' downrange, with 12 needing to finish a bit left, 16 a bit right. The approach shot was downslope, a steady right-turner on 12, and a sharper/narrower/steeper left-turner on 16. Two good initial shots of these 492'(447) par-4's would leave one with an excellent birdy chance.
Enjoyable course, scenic drive, albeit a bit of an effort to reach it.
