Pros:
North Tahoe Regional has all of the assets that I love about mountain disc golf, but it isn't maximum intensity all of the time. There is significant elevation change on several holes, but many that are fairly level or gradually sloping. Trees are nearly a constant, but just a handful are heavily wooded and often the fairways will be clear much of way. A good mix of distances will give you the opportunity to get the birdies, and a couple of holes are really going to test the arm. Layout had two par 4's at the time I played, for overall 56.
The tee pads are rubber mats that are set well, level and generally good. The tee signs were nice, with illustrations showing the landscape and various pin placements. I had no complaints about the baskets.
The front and back 9 have flipped since this page was established, so you don't have to climb up the hill to start the round anymore. First half dozen holes are pretty flat. 3 is sort of cool. It tees out of trees and over a clearing that is a bit below the level of the tee and the pin. The basket is on the other side on the fringe of the woods. 7 is a shorty that climbs a slope to set up a fun downhill drive on 8. 9 is the long, flat and wide open variety. It can be over 1000' with the pin in the long position.
hole 10 is a midrange that is down a very open hill. Unless you miss way left no obstacles stand in the way of the basket on the flat at the bottom. 12 and 13 are thick with woods, and have a little less level terrain than the heavily forested holes on the front nine. They have lines, but it takes a very precise throw to max out on distance. 14 is a bomber out of the woods and across the flat to the edge of the soccer field. 15 is another midrange with drop in elevation, not quite as drastic as 8 or 10, but a higher density of trees. 16 and 17 are in an alley with limited tress in the center. 18 is a cool drive to a pin set on a hillside at the end surrounded by trees.
Picking out a signature hole isn't an obvious selection, but most of the holes do have distinct challenges, and variation is good. Natural landscape is very nice as well. I really liked 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 15, and 18.
Cons:
There is a $5 fee to enter the park, and there are other free courses in the area that I liked better.
Other Thoughts:
This is a fun course, that isn't terribly difficult but it does offer a bit of a challenge. It plays fairly quickly and isn't hard to follow the layout.
I shot 3 over par 59. 3 birdies, 4 bogeys and a double bogey. If you can only play one course in the area this wouldn't be my first choice, but it's worth a shot if you have the time.
