Pros:
Tee Boxes= Being up on the mountain, I don't expect this sort of course to have concrete pads. Most tees had rubber tee pads that are in good shape.
Baskets= Discatchers in good shape. The layout is tweaked seasonally I believe.
Signs & Stuff= Red paint and flags help with navigation. Riding the ski lift up to play a round was terrifying...I mean exhilarating. Restrooms, extra water, bar and grill located at the warming hut at the top of the lift (I assume only open when the lifts are running). Shout out to Supreme Flight who provided signage for the tournament!
Design&Maintenance=Two nine hole loops starting near the warming hut. Most baskets are visible from the tee, making navigation easier. Just the fact that a course on the side of a ski hill gets maintained impresses me.
Dave's Point= Unique and Epic! The view from hole 10's green is hard to believe until you see it yourself.
Cons:
Tee Boxes= Some of the teeing areas were on the short side, but a large run-up is rarely needed. Rubber pads or dirt tee pads don't always provide optional footing. Only one set of tees (except for shot across the pond which had a shorter tee)
Baskets= Lesser quality baskets on a few of the temp holes for the tournament. I don't believe these are always set up however.
Design& Maintenance= No real Top of The World Epic Shot which you really expect when playing on a ski slope. Some fun shots that use the elevation, but lacking a true TOW.
Signs&Stuff=Little to no seating on the course. The ski lifts rarely run. The course is always playable, but is only reachable by hiking up the fire road. It's a hike.
Dave's Point=I wish the lifts ran more regularly, so jump on any chance to play this course when they do! This course plays at high elevation so beware dehydration and altitude sickness!! Lots more water than you think you need and sunscreen. It is very isolated up there with little to no cell signal. You are a long way from help, so go prepared. There are rattlesnakes in the area.
Other Thoughts:
I was lucky enough to play Mt. Waterman for a one round 22 hole tournament. They had the ski lifts running that day, so getting to the course was a little easier than hiking up the fire road. Epic mountain course just about an hour outside of Los Angeles....Texas didn't have that.
