Course Infrastructure and amenities:

Awesome new DGA Mach VII baskets are all in excellent shape. Long, flat concrete tee pads help you throw to some of these longer holes out here. Tee signs also look brand new and give you all of the information that you would need from them. There are bathrooms and potable water near the beginning/ending of the course. Lots of picnic tables and pseudo benches in the form of logs or rocks to sit on when you need to cool off.

Aesthetics:

You are throwing discs in a huge canyon that sits right on the Snake river with even a few holes playing right by it. The canyon views behind and across you are spectacular as well as the little streams and creeks and even the springs on the drive in. The park itself in the grassy area is beautiful all on its own with very old, tall trees and lush green grass. Plenty of wildlife out here too iin the form of marmot, squirrel, herons, king fishers and even deer or elk if you're lucky as well as many more critters.

Hole variety:

Holes 2, 5, and 18 are all par 4 holes. 2 and 18 take you through the green grass in the park style area in opposite directions, one of them being a right to left and the other is a left to right dogleg. Hole 5 sits right next to the water and throws away from it back into the main area to then throw your upshot down a hill sloping towards the basket sitting close to the water again. There are so many different kind of holes out here with many straight, left doglegs, right doglegs, etc. The back 9 really pushes away from the green grass and has you play across a ravine a few times over the desert sage brush. Lots of great elevation here in the back and many awesome basket locations on the sides of hills or edges of hills making shot placement, angle of how the disc lands, and distance control paramount. None of these holes are truly open either so you also have a to hit a line on top of all that. There are also several low ceiling, long drives required that really test you to keep the disc down but still flying far and straight. Some of these a roller might actually be the best shot or if you have a cannon going up and over large trees.

Hole 5 is currently extremely overgrown. The tee pad is almost covered by tall grass and the basket is covered by grass that's close to six feet tall. Well actually the basket is being repaired at the moment so it's not even playable.

Some of the brush here is nasty. I got cut up pretty bad when my tee shot on the downhill 16th hit what I thought was a clump of trees on the right turned out to be a thick cluster of thorns. There are sticks, rocks, thistle, roots, just about everything out here trying to get you. I wore shorts and by the end of the round I was bleeding on several areas of my legs.

After you leave the green grass the course gain elevation and you lose all of the shade. I played it when it was 75 out and towards the end of the round I felt like it was 95 out. This is a rugged course where you need good shoes, water, sunsceen, the works. It's more of an adventure/hike type of course.

This place is awesome. Just the area in general is really pretty and basically it's almost impossible to have a bad day out here. I can see myself bumping my rating up to a 4.5 after the course gets some play and some TLC especially on hole 5. This place was a pleasant surprise. I would say this course challenges almost anyone besides the best players in the world. 950ish rated players are going to love this place. I recommend this to pretty much anyone who isn't a beginner or a couch potato.
