Reviewed: Played on:Feb 4, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ No crowds. This is partially because of requiring Base access to play it, and partially because of the reasons listed under Cons.
+ Nine functioning baskets.
+ Fairly long course with chances to practice distance driving.
+ Good use of terrain. The course is located in a spot that doesn't have a lot of elevation change or trees. But the way the course is laid out at least feels like a designed disc golf course, rather than just nine baskets in an open flat field.

Cons:

- Terrible maintenance. The first time I tried to play was in the summer, and I turned around and went home rather than play a round in thigh-to-waist high grass and weeds. I have driven by the course a handful of other times in the summer months to see if it is maintained, and consistently the answer has been "no." It seems that they mow the weeds once in the fall, and that's about it.
- Teepads are rubber and are disintegrating.
- No course signage. No clear place to park. And with how little the course is used, there's not enough foot traffic to make clear walking paths between holes. Add it all up and this course would literally be impossible to navigate without uDisc.
- No exciting or memorable holes. The location isn't good for disc golf, so even though the baskets are optimally placed it still isn't a course that's very fun.

Other Thoughts:

Falcon's Nest is tough to access, not maintained, tough to navigate, and with zero memorable holes to reward you for its shortcomings. It really isn't even somewhere I'd recommend to practice in solitude, since the lack of maintenance creates a high risk for disc loss if you're throwing multiples. Unless you're a diehard course bagger this place isn't worth your time.
