Time to snuff out this candle

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

This place is on a very narrow strip of grass that plays up and down a small hill over and over. It seems no one uses this part for disc golf so you could have the place to yourself for safari rounds or to play the main layout if you desire. Discatcher baskets are all working and navigation is easy, not sure why previous reviewers were having a difficult time.

Cons:

It plays up the hill for both 1 and 2 and then down the hill for 3. After that up the hill for 4, down for 5, down for 6. Basically every hole on the course plays the same fairway. The layout of playing up then down then up again on top of itself is kind of insane. I think I would have kept holes 1 and 2, then had two more holes that shoot down the hill and back to the car to make a little 4 hole course which is most likely the way you would draw it up when playing safari out here.

This neighborhood looks super sketchy. This is the first course I've played in Idaho with graffiti and vandalism everywhere. I could see the car from every corner of the course and still felt uneasy about leaving it there. There are still a few tee signs but the rest have been destroyed/removed. I'm shocked the baskets still exist out here frankly. Tiny little tee pads that have lumps in them, it's best to throw from the grass.

Other Thoughts:

Skip this course and play one of the better, more kept up courses around Twin Falls. This place is weird, scary and ready to have a bullet put in it. Come to think of it probably many gunshots have been heard in this area. Even if you're a desperate course bagger like myself it's a tough sell to stop here. The best roads in Jerome are the ones leading out!
