Pros:
Great tee signs with lots of information. The tee pads were some kind of red dirt mortar mixture that were very easy to throw from. Good variety of distance, when we played there were 4 or 5 par fours and one par 5. I liked the next tee signs they were welded arrows on rebar poles.
Cons:
Many baskets were so close to the few trees on the course that the putts were hard to make from as close as 10 feet. There were several blind shots that made it easy to lose a disc without a spotter. We had trouble finding several of the baskets. The tee pads varied from ten feet wide and rectangular to four feet wide and hexagonal. No water was available.
Other Thoughts:
I am glad I played this course, although I will probably not play it again, because I live so far away. It is similar to Lizard Peak in Reno. But LP has more trees and more elevation. I shot 7 down with a bogey. If I could have putted a little better it would have been even better. Not much of a challenge if you can throw decent distance. I didn't know the course designer was going to take my review so personally. You mentioned the view, and we talked about that because of Gayle's comment. It's just my opinion, but the views at LP are way better than Pine Nuts. My rating has nothing to do with who designed what course. You did a good job with what you had to work with.
