Aesthetics:

You're starting out at like 9,000 feet of elevation so you can see all of the mountains around you. The lush green forest, walking trails, the patches of snow depending on what time of year, the resort itself, plants, wildlife, you name it. The atmosphere is incredible as it is at most mountain courses. Chipmonks, butterflies, birds are all prevalent. The drive up here from SLC is awesome! The road was obviously painstakingly blasted out of the rock and you drive right through the western slope of the Rockies.

Terrain:

Of course the elevation change is quite dramatic right away. You have mostly open fairways for the majority of the course with a well defined fairway on both sides and mountain grass and bushes lining the fairways. Only holes 5 and 9 are truly uphill with the rest being very downhill, slight uphill, or throwing across the mountain. Holes 1-9 are where most of the extreme elevation is and then it levels out a bit in the back 9 with the exception of "The Beast" the final, top of the world downhill 1200 foot monster.

Variety of distances, shot selection, lines, etc:

I think the shortest hole on the course is hole 1 which is a downhill left to right hole with hard ground where skip judgment and distance control is crucial. Many fairways/greens out here are very prone to skipping you much further than you would think not only because of the hard dirt but also because of which the speed of the disc is traveling when it's thrown off of a cliff basically - gravity is a bitch. Most holes require you hit lines but only a few have really dense trees guarding fairways or greens. Lots of different dogleg right to left, left to right is required and sometimes flex shots or tomahawk/thumbers are your best bet. Distance control and judging how your disc is going skip and what angle it's going to hit at could leave you within circle1 or you could be 100 feet down the hill from the basket.

Infrastructure:

The most important thing about the infrastructure here is that there are benches or picnic tables on every single hole thankfully. Not something I care about normally but with extreme elevation and 9,000 feet above sea level, I appreciated being able to sit whenever I needed to. There are also trash and recycle bins laid out every 4-6 holes so after drinking through your water or having lunch you could dump them off and not have to carry it. Tee signs are really nice and show you where the pin(s) are, sadly they don't show the current position but not hard to figure out. Baskets are DGA and have orange flags on them to help you locate them from distance and also judge the wind. Tee pads are flymats and do an adequate job but be careful not to step off them during your throw as a fall out here could result in mountain rescue.

$15 to take the lift is pricey. I opted to hike up and found it a pretty nice hike and not too difficult but YMMV.

Some of the holes felt a little too open and distance control being the main obstacle. Not that it was easy to par even with a bad drive, you were still punished.

There are few spots while navigating the course that's a little weird. I'd say the transition from basket 2 to tee pad 3 is one of them. Your natural inclination is to walk down the hill to the tee pad next to the picnic bench but this is hole 6. After basket 2 take a right and you will see the big downhill right to left hole.

Some say this course is a disc eater and I couldn't disagree more. As long as you watch your disc the entire flight and don't turn away in disgust/remember where you threw it's really simple to find it. If you can't or aren't willing to do this or you have really bad accuracy then yes you maybe looking for a disc or two. I spend a grand total of maybe 45 seconds looking for discs the entire round. Perhaps new players who griplock the disc everywhere shouldn't come here or being willing to lose some plastic if they do.

This place is awesome, the golf is awesome, just a great experience, one of Utah's finest courses I imagine. The people at the resort were super nice. When I showed up I went to information to ask about disc golf and the older gentleman with the beard (didn't catch his name, dang it) helped me out. He took me to where you could see the hiking path to the course and explained to me in full detail how to get to hole 1, gave me a score card and a pencil, told me where to buy food/water, and little bit about the shops around the area.

So if you are hiking in like I did ask information but here is a tip: If you look towards the lifts just to the right you will see a dirt trail going straight up the mountain and a small red sign. Follow this path straight uphill until you see a basket with a flag on it, this is hole 8. From here you need to take a left and cross over the running creek and follow the disc golf course and side by side trails. When you reach a picnic bench you're almost there, this is hole six. Keep walking up this hill, you'll come to basket 2 and just keep going straight up till you see the top of the lifts and the tee pad for hole 1 on the right.

This is an amazing course that plays down a large mountain which serves as ski resort in the winter months. You'll be throwing 400 foot downhill bombs on almost every hole. Extremely fun to watch the disc fly here. The fairways are pretty open, but have enough trees within them where you do have to control and shape your shot. A few up hill holes as well, but not many. The course culminates at hole 18 where you are throwing down a very steep, very high, wide open ski slope which feels like a cliff.

This course gets a high rating from me due to it's uniqueness and fun to play. It may not be the most pampered course, but so rarely do you get to throw colossal shots like this. A must play if you are in the area.

Notes on course logistics:
- It's only open in the summer.
- Play starts a few feet from the top of the sunrise chair lift.
- Chairlift operates on the weekends only.
- You can walk to the top of the course if you don't want to take the lift and it will take you about 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Putters can go as far as drivers when throwing off the cliff that is the final hole.

Score: 9.0/10

+ Fun throws! Lots of elevation in play. Mostly downhill throws but a few steep uphill mixed in. Most fairways pretty open, but often entering technical and/or guarded greens.

+ Tee pads are in great shape, which really makes the bigger throws more rewarding. (I've played a number of ski resort courses, and these were by far the best tees!)

+ Baskets in good condition and catch well.

+ Just gorgeous terrain. LOTS of elevation in play, and pre-cleared ski runs form very clearly defined fairways.

- This is just my experience: The locals don't seem to have much appreciation for pace of play. It seems customary to glob together in groups of 6-8. A lot of imprecise throws lead to a lot of time searching for discs. Most of the groups were very cordial about letting a pair of skilled throwers play through. But oh man, it only takes one obstinate eightsome to waste a bunch of other peoples' time.

- By mid summer, foliage gets DENSE and you really have to watch where your disc lands. You will still spend some time looking, but hopefully not lose anything.

- Mountain bike trails wind around & through most of the holes. In some cases there are signs warning about the disc golf course, but they seem to get ignored most of the time.

Overall a fun course in beautiful country. I would love to play it again, but maybe in the morning before a bunch of locals clog it up.

I guess if you're looking for a place to turn up some tunes and hang out with a half dozen friends for 4 hours, this course is perfect!

Really hate to ding the course so bad because of one slow round, but the pace of play really honestly detracted from my experience. The average course rating of 4.3 seems a little bit generous to me; maybe gets some benefit for the novelty of riding a ski lift? (However, 4.3 does seem to be the average group size that plays the course, and the average number of throws per hole among those groups, and the average number of minutes spent looking for each disc...)

Beautiful property sitting in the mountains, starting around 9000' and finishing around 8200'

Strong rubber tee pads

Good signage and shorter (9 hole) course available (1,2,6,7,10,11,12,13,18) is the flow for the shorter version, still flows nicely due to great design.

Good layout with a couple uphill holes as you play your way down the mountain

18th hole is 1000' straight downhill and has to be in the running for best top of the world shots. Putters can get all the way down the hill (not guaranteed ) and can fly for 30 seconds or more, but you can throw any shot and watch awesome flights

Additional 9 holes go in (The 'Uppers') later in the summer and are a nice added touch of humility. Throwing straight up a mountain is very humbling and unlike much else. A junior top of the world shot waits at the top of that hike, and they (uppers) conclude with my two favorite holes on the property (H, I, on the scorecard)

Multiple (2) basket locations for most holes, changed a few times through the summer to keep it interesting when you think you have it dialed.

Little bit tricky to find by hiking unless you know where you're going, but once you know the way, the easy hike is about 15 minutes, basically traversing in from Solitude Nordic Center up near Brighton. The con is that you need to find your way back up to the top if you choose the easy walk over the lift or harder hike.

You will probably lose a disc or two your first time. Knowing the property helps, but part of throwing huge downhill shots runs the risk of losing sight or depth perception of flights.

I absolutely love playing up here. I try to go at least once a week in the summer as it is so peaceful and serene. I have lived in Utah for a long time and it is still awe inspiring to be up there and see the scenery while playing.

-Very nice setting with great views.
-There is often nice wildlife to see.
-The down hill shots are very fun to watch your disc fly once you figure out what to throw.
-The elevation changes are a unique challenge
-You rarely run into large groups or any back ups
-Great way to spend an afternoon hiking in the mountains
-Option to ride a lift up is nice
-Bonus letter holes way up the mountain are a nice addition

-It is a bit complicated to figure out how to hike in
-Mostly open holes going straight up or down ski runs
-Can easily loose discs on down hill holes

The extra letter holes at the top are really fun. They are worth the extra walk.
I personally think it is a bit unfortunate that most of the holes play straight up and straight down ski runs.
There is so much terrain out here, there could be spectacularly long winding holes across the hill side. The up hill holes are just dominated by anyone that can throw really far. However this is a truly unique setting to play golf in and its hard to not have fun. The course is pretty well marked as long as you figure out how to get to hole 1.

Elevation change and altitude. That is what this course is about. If you have never played a course where elevation change is its own obstacle, you are in for a treat here.

From the very first hole, you are presented with a short (286'), steep-downhill hole with the basket on the right of a fairway lined with trees. No matter what you throw, there is a very good chance of overthrowing this hole. If you are tentative and under-throw it, there is a good chance of being very short and presenting yourself with the same elevation problem on the upshot. The hole just looks like an easy birdie from the tee box, but it is just as easy to bogey.

This same issue presents itself on hole after hole requiring different disc selections than you are used to at lower altitude and on more flat ground. I often caught myself throwing at 1/2 or 3/4 power with fairway drivers on holes ranging from 300 to nearly 500 feet. Indeed, on hole 6 I threw well past the basket that was nearly 600 feet from the tee box with an Amp. I don't have that kind of distance, but with the tee box being over 150 feet higher in elevation than the basket, it is as easy to go past the basket as it is to go short and into the woods if you choose a disc too overstable or understable or throw too hard or too soft because you aren't used to that kind of elevation change.

Hole 6 is also a good example of the challenges presented by the excellent course design. There are two distinct fairways around a tree "island" in the middle. The elevation change also offers the option to go high and go over all of the trees and try to drop the disc in from the top, with all of these approaches requiring accuracy just to keep the disc from ending up in the woods.

There are a good number of holes that require right and left turning throws and a few with very tight fairways. I threw forehand as often as backhand.

Another challenge on this course is that on the short holes, and even the longer ones, your disc may be coming into the landing area moving much faster than you are used to leading to giant skips that turn what looked like an easy birdie into a challenging upshot to retain a chance at par.

This course has several good, fairly short, uphill holes and one longer one. There are a number of sidehill holes that use elevation only as punishment for an errant shot. Several holes will also reward errant shots with dropoffs severe enough to make you want to just forget about that disc and rethrow.

While there are one or two holes that I would otherwise consider to be too open, the slope could severely punish an errant throw. Only hole 17, a slight uphill, 312 ft. hole, was truly wide open with little consequence to an errant throw, unless you went very far past on your upshot.

No hole presents elevation-as-obstacle better than the finishing hole. You really have to see this hole in person to understand how severe the downhill portion is. Reaching the bottom with your first throw is difficult, not because it is difficult to throw a disc 1200 feet when you are 400 feet higher than the basket, but because your disc stays in the air so long that it is difficult to keep it on the 500 ft wide fairway and out of the woods. I managed to get my Underworld to the bottom on my first throw, but it flew so far that I lost sight of it before it landed even though my view of the disc was never obstructed. As fun as it is to watch a disc fly for 15 seconds, and fly so far that you can't see it anymore, this hole is a bear of a par 3 and should probably be listed as a par 4.

This course is on a ski slope that has a resort hotel at the bottom. The resort is self contained with shopping, eating, bars and a shop with a narrow selection of Innova and a few MVP discs. This is a fantastic place to go for a disc golf vacation. There are a few other courses nearby, but after playing this course the first time, I really wasn't interested in trying to go anywhere else to play; I wanted another shot at almost every hole.

Although you are free to hike up and play (for free), the lift doesn't start running until 10:00 a.m. By that time you could have already played a round. If you choose to hike up, it will probably be 10:00 a.m. before you get there anyway. This isn't really a con for the course itself, but you really do need to take the lift to play it.

The slope of this course is severe everywhere. Do not try to play this course if you aren't in decent shape.

You don't need extra weight while playing this course but you will need to bring water with you because there are no amenities other than benches on the course. On the positive side, it was very cool when I played and so I didn't need much water.

Navigation is really pretty straightforward, but there are few places where better "next tee" signage would be helpful. We saw several groups get briefly lost after the second basket. Go back and to the right to the get to the #3 tee box.

Watch your discs carefully until they land. It is easy to lose them because they fly so far on many holes.

There is no charge to play the course and it should NOT be listed as a pay to play course. However the lift ticket is $10 per ride or $20 per day. If you don't see mountains often, the views on the ride alone is worth the price. Take the lift unless you often hike in the mountains and are certain of what you are doing.

I debated whether to give this course a 5 disc rating. I think that the elevation is enough of a novelty and distraction that it is easy to discount the challenge that it presents or the way that the course uses that challenge in what may seem like holes that are otherwise too open. However, this is a very challenging course and I found it to be more fun than any other course that I have played. It is certainly not a one-trick pony and while the 18th hole is epic, it isn't even the best hole on the course in my opinion. The cons I listed are mostly nitpicking and if you like watching your disc fly, there few places where you will get to enjoy doing that as much as Solitude.

Notes on play: If you are not used to playing at higher elevations, you need to keep in mind that the less dense air will make your discs act somewhat more overstable. It will be difficult to hyzer flip and flippy discs may not turn over for you very much. You generally won't need any very overstable discs and you probably won't need any distance drivers.

On hole 18, you can reach the bottom with ease with a lower speed, understable discs. Higher speed discs and stable discs may lose speed and fade long before they get to the bottom. I reached the bottom easily with both an Underworld and a 167g Insanity. The Insanity flew straight as a bullet. The Underworld turned over.

Excellent variety of right and left throws.
The downhill aspect to the course makes it extremely fun. The holes are long and so you can throw long consistently.
Scenery is unparalleled.

Almost every hole is downhill, so there's not much variety in the elevation changes.
Errant throws can be hard to find, but the fairways are pretty large, so it's really not that bad unless youre throwing a disc the same color as the grass.

Epic. This is the must-play course in Utah.

while you are on the ski lift you have a really good view. there is an equal amount of short holes and long holes. really big fairways.

really hard to find disc on all of the holes. really over grown. no trash cans on the mountain. no bathrooms on the mountain.

a lot of down hill side arms. you can some times see moose or deer. bring a lot of water. the ski lift is really fun.

Course was well marked, thank you to the mountain staff. Beautiful views, trails maintained. Nice benches at every hole. Beautiful scenery. Holes were exciting an of variable difficulty, well named I might add.

$10 lift ticket or a hike. Not unreasonable.
Hole 18 is a ridiculous 1200ft launch watch where your disc goes.

-Chair lift takes you up mountain to hole 1
-Beautiful scenery as you meander through the aspens and pines.
-Great course design and layout

-Some of the upper holes are strenuous but still fun to play

This is my favorite course in Utah by far, the air is clean the views are marvelous and the golf is amazing!

Great course to make you feel like a king. Want to throw 500 feet with a mid-range, this is your course. Want to pass that pesky 1000 foot barrier, you have come to the right place. Have plenty of money to replace a lost disc or two, welcome to Solitude.

Take the lift, or walk over from Brighton. This course starts high on the Solitude resort, and lets you wander down the mountain. Two steep uphill holes, and a few neutral holes, otherwise, a great downhill course. The last hole is 1200 feet with a huge vertical drop. At over 300 feet wide, there is no guarantee you will find the fairway, and even if you do, you may still lose your disc. But, find the perfect line, and your disc will never stop flying.

Getting to the first tee is a bit of a job, requiring either paying for the lift, or taking a half mile walk from Brighton. There is a good chance of losing a disc. I personally love the tee boxes, but some may find them a bit on the short side.

This is an epic mountain resort.

Great downhill mountain course. I highly recommend solitude as a great disc golf experience in Utah.

The reason for this review is to warn disc golfers about the Solitude lost and found 'Black Hole'. DO NOT turn discs into the Solitude lost and found. I lost a disc and another player found it the same day. He called me and explained that he was leaving it with the lost and found. I phoned Solitude to make sure the disc was there and the guy told me "I'm looking right at it." When I returned to get the disc, I was directed to the lift shack near 18 basket. I described my disc to the guy at the shack and he retrieved a box of 15-20 ratty discs and literally threw them down the hill to where we were standing and said "take what you need man."
Zero accountability with the Solitude lost and found.

- Course is set in a mountain resort, when there is no snow on the ground, the plastic is in the air! Take the ski lift to the top to save energy for some of the grueling elevation that is present. Pretty much no chance for interference save for the occasional mountain biker.
- Since the setting of the course is on a mountainside, the biggest pro at this course is constant and extreme elevation changes. No point in listing all the holes that go up, down, or waaaay up and waaaay down. Let's just say that hole #18 is 1200', with a 400' vertical drop! Steep enough?? On the other end of the spectrum, some of the additional holes on the letter loop are super duper steep uphill. Plenty of holes in between from start to finish.
- Also spots where the biggest slope is off the fairway, going too far left or right can mean a hike to get the disc and get back to the basket. #8 especially, do not go too far right, or else.
- Decent amount of trees here as well; there are definitely spots that require line shaping or shot placement. #5 is a sharp hyzer around the woods, for instance, and #6 is a great downhill shot that forces a line to the left or right of a giant patch of tall trees. #12 is pretty heavily wooded, with some tight gaps to find amongst skinny trees. The last temp hole (#I?) is a giant FH flex downhill, with dense woods on both sides.
- A few spots have very real hazards, mostly due to nasty rollaway/sloping areas for discs to find, but also some water in a few spots as well. Really makes things interesting on top of everything else; turning over a disc too much or hyzering out in the thin air can be disastrous.
- Lots of length to the course; the original 18 hole layout clocks in at 416' per hole, and the temp holes follow suit. Really have the chance to let the discs glide and glide on the downhill holes; both big arms and small arms will enjoy the chance to throw some real bombers.
- Rubber pads are good, baskets good, signs good. Navigation signs help out, though the temp holes aren't marked very well. Hole #B is a hyzer; not straight ahead, from there it is pretty easy to follow (assuming the layout is the same!!!).

- Only real con here is a large number of wide open holes, or holes that have pretty simple obstacles to avoid. Just need to huck the disc without many consequences for a bad shot. That's it though!
- Some tall grass can eat discs here; I lost a go-to disc in plain sight on one of the temp holes. Keep a close eye even in some of the fairways...

- Well, this is mountain golf at its finest, I would have to assume. Haven't had the chance to play many courses where a ski lift is almost necessary; but I imagine this one is right up there with the rest of them. Epic 1200' finishing hole really caps it off. I would recommend EVERYONE check this place out; fun factor is overflowing. Unless you have bad knees or a heart condition, it is going to be a blast. Worth every penny.

Very well done course in the most beautiful location.

Pads are all in good shape. They aren't concrete, but are packed dirt with rubber pads in clearly marked boxes.

Holes are challenging and don't really favor backhand or flicks.

Clearly marked tees and signs makes the course pretty easy to navigate. They offer a course map/scorecard at the top of the lift as well.

Great atmosphere, awesome lift staff. Overall it's a blast to play.

Not many cons here. Discs don't turn over because of the altitude, so it's really easy to lose them. I've lost more discs in these hills than all other courses combined by double. (I really don't lose many so it sounds worse than it is).

They raised the price for the lift to $10 so it's probably more worthwhile to hike up than pay for the lift now.

Get ready to hike for discs. I overthrew a couple holes and ended up searching for an eternity in vain (usually). The altitude and terrain will really make it easy to let disks get away from you.

Hole 18 is insane.

for starters, you are playing DOWN a ski slope, wow! just gorgeous scenery and SO so much easier than playing UP hill. excellent basket placement and great tee signs leading the way. plenty of long bombing downhill holes that are easy to reach, in addition to a couple tighter fairways.
taking the ski lift up just makes for a magical mountain experience!

due to gravity, is really easy for anyone to lose a disc throwing downhill. several of the longer holes are fairly detached from the forest and thus just who can throw farther competitions.
top of the world hole 18 has a fairway that must be like 1,000 feet across, and yet i have still never been able to hit it. easy to lose a disc on even a decent throw.

was the 9th of 9 course on our thrilling road trip. the 6 year old shot an unheard of 79, garnering ctp on at least 2 holes with 4 other GOOD disc golfers. was just an exquisite experience with ultra kind fellow disc golfers.
the downhill aspect really nullifies "distance" as the key factor and replaces it with the cherished "accuracy".
would be a GOOD course to take a female significant other to due to vistas and the reach ability of downhill fairways.

Beautiful scenery. Great markers, tees, and layout of the course. Mostly downhill with lots of elevation change. Varying lengths of holes and great obstacles for shot selection. Usually not too busy.

Like many others have said, it can be difficult at times to locate your discs; even on great throws. The grass can get tall and make if a little bit more difficult to find discs.

Incredibly beautiful scenery
Mostly downhill
Great variation in hole length
Multiple shots required
Trees easy to climb to get discs back
Beautiful, level rubber tee pads
Beautiful signage
No trash
Nearly new baskets
No graffiti
Not crowded
Fantastic tournament each year (Full Throttle) Had $16K in prizes in 2011. Open winner took home $2K. Top Am cards went home with $100-200 worth of stuff.

Because it is a mountain course, you can't really mow it. That makes it easy to lose discs. The rough and fairways generally have grass and similar plants two feet tall. It isn't too thick, but you will definitely spend some time looking for discs. The problem is compounded by the fact that you may throw your discs out of sight, not because you threw them behind something, but because they went far enough that you can no longer see the disc. There are no cacti or stickers or anything, but the landing zones are necessarily big and there's plenty of disc hiding foliage in them. This is the main reason I cannot give this course 5 stars. If they could somehow mow more of the grass down with some kind of a mountain mower (I've heard they exist) it would be a perfect course. I recommend you play in a group at this course, just to help find discs. I'm confident you would lose 1-2 discs a round playing solo, and it would really detract from the fun.
Bugs can be irritating. I've definitely seen worse at many courses. Bring a can of bug dope, spray it on before the round, and you'll hardly notice them.
Lift rides aren't free (well, unless you bribe the liftie.)
Only open 3 months a year or so.

This course is everything that Creekside is not. It is long, well-kept, not crowded, mountainous, and not free (once you add in the cost of gas to get there and a lift ticket.) There is something beautiful about teeing off on a 1200 foot hole when you start 400 vertical feet above the basket. If you have never watched a disc fly for 15 seconds, you're in for a treat.
My favorite hole is # 6. It is over 600 feet long and probably has 300 feet of elevation change. I overthrew the basket by 300 feet one time. A smarter player can thread the fairway between 70 foot tall trees and reach the pin with a mid-range without having to worry about the ponds and the creek behind the basket. Players in my group took everything from a 2 to a 6 on the hole.
The best part about this course is that it will teach you to throw up and down hills. This is a subtle skill many disc golfers never really have to learn. Hint-throw with the contour of the mountain for maximum distance and minimum fade downhill.
Bring your light, understable plastic. You'll need it due to the thin mountain air as well as to maximize distance both up and down hill.
I suggest you come right after the snow melts before the grass gets very tall. Or, come around the time of the Full Throttle tourney when it is likely to have been mown down or at least trampled by the tournament players.

Beautiful setting, clean air, not overly busy, long course (plan for 3 hrs or so).
Very Challenging.
Trees are easy to climb to retrieve your disks.

Bring your mosquito repellant, it will make the game 100% more fun when you not being eaten by the swarm of helicopter sized blood suckers.
In the summer the foliage is knee to waist deep and because of the intense down hills and up hills you are VERY likely to be looking for your disk for an extended period of time, if you don't lose it all together (we lost 2).
A very bright pink or orange disk of solid color is almost a must here. Everything else blends into the flowers or grass or weeds.
Course is really rough on your disks, I lost some chunks out of mine for sure.

Chairlift was $7 this year and I don't think you would really want to make the walk. The course is about 2 miles long on steep trails, up and down.
We fortunately met some very nice folks up there that were willing to share some of their Off with us, but up to that point it was miserable. I had 5 bites on my head, a couple on my neck and one on each limb. And that was in the first 3 holes.
This is not a very good beginner's course, it can be very frustrating and is somewhat strenuous walking up and down the mountain. I would not bring my girlfriend on her first outing, unless you want to permanently ensure she will never play again.
Wear good shoes and long pants, searching for your disk in the brush can really scratch you up.
I know I have complained a lot, but this is a truly great course, it is extremely challenging. Holes are very long, but still parable. Bring extra disks.
I shot 10+ (ouch), afterwards we went to the University Course and shot the front 9 twice, just to rebuild our crushed egos (we both shot par for 18 there).
A guy who goes to this course frequently said early summer/late spring, just after the snow melts is the best time to come, before the plants take over.
Definitely worth a shot.

This was my first time playing this course and I never want to play anywhere else in Salt Lake again! All other courses i play will now be compared to Solitude, and I doubt they will match up to it's quality.

One of my favorite things about the Solitude course is it's location! Nestled into the most beautiful canyon in the Salt Lake Valley, it combines two of my favorite activities; hiking and...disc golfing! The course layout is superb, forcing throws of all kinds. Keep a close eye on where your disc falls and you shouldn't have too much trouble finding it. I'm a rookie player and, although I lobbed my disc into oblivion once or twice on my first run at the course (mainly because of the transition to steep downhill throwing), I didn't lose a single disc.

Another thing I really enjoyed is that, being a mountain course, which is not as easily accessed as say the Creekside course in the valley, you won't see a lot of disrespectful, drunken idiots on this course that taint your disc golfing experience (one of the biggest cons about Creekside). The other groups I saw up there were much more friendly and willing to share the course.

All in all, a well maintained, interesting, exciting, and fun-filled experience. Bring plenty of water, especially if you plan on hiking to the first teebox.

The only thing I can say that might be a negative is the time you could potentially spend searching for your disc. Judging distance/wind speed when throwing downhill is much more difficult than when throwing on flat terrain. Therefore, your disc may bolt out of the fairway a few times, making it very hard to find in the tall thick vegetation.

Go play this course!!...unless you are still learning how to throw, in which case you should probably start off at the U course (about ten times less difficult).

I don't even know where to start. This is a very excellent course for all kinds of players. Taking the lift is the easy way to get to hole one. If the lift is closed just hike it. Its not that bad. Wide open fields with easy navigation. This course comes with amazing views of the moutains surrounding the area and that amazing fresh moutain air.

Very easy to loose a disc. Keep an eye on where your throw goes. A downside is that if the lift is closed you either come back another day or hike to the top, which is what i did.

It definitely helps to have people spotting for you. I had 3 people on the hike with me to help look and watch where my discs' went. So bring your friends!
