Good but needs fine tuning 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 29, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The location is absolutely amazing. Probably the best course that I've played as far as that goes. I mean, what course has a chairlift to take you up and beautiful mountains all around? It's pretty fun to play too. Most of the holes are straight forward and you're playing downhill on the majority of shots, there are no uphill shots. So, you get a lot of distance out of your shots. Like the other review said you don't need a driver for a 500ft hole. I thought I was even being conservative a few times and threw way past the basket. You need to be accurate though. The trees are not forgiving.

Cons:

Although it is overall a fun course, there are things that need improvement and things I didn't like.
First, it's $15 to play 18 holes and the chairlift closes at 6. I think $15 is a little steep to play, but not a big deal.
Second, it actually gets old having to constantly walk down hill. My knees were hurting pretty badly by the end of the round.
Third, there really isn't a big mix of shots. Most are straight ahead and maybe a couple with a slight hyzer to them. Most are just downhill shots of varying distances. There were a few that played on a kind of level fairway. I actually think it would be more interesting with some uphill shots in the mix.
Fourth, my biggest issue with the course is trying to find my disc. The grass on a lot of the fairways is quite high, in some cases up to my waist. So, even if I have a nice shot in the fairway and see where about where it landed I'm still searching for 5 or 10 minutes. It got really frustrating having to search for my disc on every single hole even when it wasn't a bad throw. If you throw it into some trees you might as well forget about it. I lost five discs playing here so I might be a little upset about it. But when I have to leave a disc just sitting in a fairway because I can't find it because of the grass, it's a problem.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, it's fun. But throwing downhill does get old. I think if they mixed up the shots a little more and kept the fairways clear it would be much better.
Also, it does play through mountain biking trails so be aware of where you are standing/walking.
