Tip by:Whirlwind Disc Golf Added on: Updated on: Hole:#1
Check the scorecard for elevation change and "effective distance" on every hole. This first hole measures 405, but only plays ~267 because of a 55-foot drop tee to basket.

This simple, wide-open rhbh hyzer will also give you an immediate indication of how overstable discs will fly at 8500 feet. Most shots land well above the hole, leaving a delicate upshot ("downshot"?) or knee-knocking deathputt. You'd be much better off below the hole.

Wind, typically blowing gently from 1:00-2:00, can be a minor factor.

The slope around the basket is consistently steep. It doesn't drop off any more severely to the right.
