Pros:
- Amazing views of Provo, the lake, surrounding mountains, one of the best views of any Utah course not named Base Camp Adventure Lodge
- Concrete pads are needed as it is the only sturdy ground you will find on the entire course
- Nice Mach X baskets in great shape
- Extreme elevation on pretty much every hole
- Solitude as it seems the course rarely gets played - the elevation will dissuade most from playing here
- Lots of trouble off the fairway to put it mildly
Cons:
- A killer for those of us who aren't young and have 5% body fat
- If you're afraid of heights some of these tee pads and walks on the sides of cliffs will be down right terrifying
- Lots of bad footing with loose gravel, rocks, sand, dirt etc. makes it hard on your lower body
- Not a bench or bench like rock in site on a course that really needs one
- They really missed the mark here for a huge giant downhill top of the world hole to beat most top of the world holes. We played from tee 7 to hole 18 which is a huge drop off and about 550 feet away to make up our own top of the world.
Other Thoughts:
I've played some extreme courses and this one ranks up there as well. Didn't help I had been bagging courses all week and already tired by the time I played it. This place broke my spirit, destroyed my ankles, and made me question all of my life's decisions. I think Solitude mountain is a much better 'pain for gain' style course than this one as the pain is much more than the gain here. If you're a mountain goat maybe this place is for you but if you're like me, over 40 and have ankle and weight issues perhaps find something better.
