more challenging than anticipated 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Whiteface is a typical ski resort layout with up shots and down hill challenges. Constant breeze a factor. Couple narrow shots were a bogey waiting to happen if you missed. Fun day with lots of other activity at the lodge including a live band to enjoy during play. Practice basket right by lodge.There is a sign at each tee area with distance and a diagram. Distances I give are from card unless otherwise noted.
Hole 1: Started near lift but with no discernible tee box. Downhill throw of about 300' (sign say 385' but apparently they have moved the basket away from the huge bouncy bounce). Easy 3, quite 2-able.
Hole 2. Wood chip tee box (on small side-6'x2'. All remaining holes had same tee box). Straight uphill throw of about 345'. None of our group reached it, but a good drive could produce a deuce.
Hole 3. Throw across slope to basket on right behind clump of trees - card says 313' but I say closer to 275' with opening of about 30'. Dueceable.
Hole 4. Another straight uphill shot but about 423'. Wind a factor. No deuces in our group.
Hole 5. Side shot across gully of 288'. Open and dueceable.
Hole 6. Tough shot up & through narrow opening around chair tower. 213' on card but plays much longer. Opportunity to deuce but miss opening and bogey looms.
Hole 7. Steep down hill shot of 331'. Danger on left. Too long right and you're shooting back up from tee box 1.
Hole 8. Tough hole through a narrow opening along a road/path. 246' but trouble on both sides.
Hole 9. 309' final hole down hill and to right. Miss left and you can put it on the deck or in the bar. Miss long and you can ace the practice basket.

Cons:

Disc golf obviously not a priority at Whiteface - the scorecard had not been updated, as locals we played with told of several hole revisions rendering the distances and designs deceiving. Some blind shots with bikers flying by the fairways.

Other Thoughts:

We played 2 rounds on 9 hole layout on a spectacular adk day. 2nd round we hooked up with some locals who gave us some course history. Overall, I would come back, but it is tough to choose disc golf over climbing any of the beautiful peaks that surround this course.
