Good Seasonal Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 6, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good use of the land. I think that the use of the slopes is well done. Although the pure wooded holes are kinda poke and hope with the tree cluttered fairways I think that they are still fun.

Cons:

Like the others...TEEPADS. The rubber mats are a joke. I think it would be better to use two cones and use natural tees. DISTANCES would be great! I would also like to see some leveling off of the tee area. GNATS are crazy in late summer...dude at the desk undersold that issue when he hold me put on bug spray.

Other Thoughts:

Better pads or committing to leveled naturals, cleaned up, defined fairways and posted/printed distances and this is a solid 3.5.

Elevation DG 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 2, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

18 holes, nice (if old) baskets. Tougher than advertised course. Maps at the General Store, along with disc rentals and all sorts of drinks and snacks. Unique experience.

Cons:

No tee boxes or signs. Hard to navigate hole to hole even with the map. Although the map does help, without it, forget about it! On the wooded holes no clean fairways, nearly a chuck and pray for luck design.

Other Thoughts:

This course is far harder than described. The elevation that you walk is quite the experience. For a course spread out on a ski slope I did find it a fair mix of wooded and open holes. The open holes criss crossed the open slopes to find the baskets hidden in the woods edge. That was fun. Now the wooded holes, nestled in between the slopes, were just that WOODED. No clear fairways to attempt to throw. Be warned! Be in good shape! This course will take a lot out of you as you climb higher and higher before the down slope of the last three or so holes. You youngsters should have no problem, but us old timers need to be prepared. I would have ranked this course a 2, but gave it the 2.5 just for the creativity required to create a ski slope course and for the toughness of the hike. How families of vacationing beginner disc golfers play on this course boggles the mind. I saw groups that couldn't throw a flick playing all around me. It must have taken them all day to finish, but the point of the game is they were having fun and they sure were. That alone is worth the extra .5.

On the Up and Up 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 2, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

The asset here is the ski slopes. The new layout definitely uses the slopes very well without being overly dependent on them. A very nice mix of wooded and open holes with only 5 holes that require any climbing. There are very few holes that resemble others on the course leaving every tee shot different from the last.

Cons:

Tee Pads!!! There were these tiny little rubber mats that were supposed to resemble tee pads but they just slipped out from under your feet and became more of a hazard than any help. Some were just thrown to the side. It is obvious that the course was just redesigned. The greens are still littered with sticks and trash. There is no signage indicating hole lengths, pin locations or the next tee pad.

Other Thoughts:

There was definitely some work put into making the new redesign and getting it open but there is a lot of work yet to be done to make this course comparable to the other courses in the area. From what I have seen the other courses have permanent concrete tee pads and quality signage.
