Fun course, worth the time and money to play. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 29, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun par 3 course along and between ski runs. Most holes are fairly wide open fairways with a straight shot to the hole. Holes very well marked with new looking sign boards. Tees also well marked. You take a chair lift up to play holes 1 and 9, then play down the mountain. Disc rentals include a disc golf bag, course map/scorecard, and pencil. There are no penalties for lost rental discs. Map is accurate; there are no problems finding the next hole to play.

Cons:

The rough is very unforgiving, with steep drop offs into small creeks and/or woods. Difficult to find errant discs. Fairways had short grass, but also obstacles like mounds of dirt/rocks, and tire tracks from ATV/maintenance trucks. Some holes were very narrow, which requires accuracy to not lose your disc. Throwing up the mountain on some holes, then walking up, can be exausting compared to playing on flat surfaces. Some fairways were swampy the day after rain. The tee area is, like the fairways, not flat, nor marked out with a pad/rubber, just two coloured sticks (sort of like real golf tee areas).

Other Thoughts:

This course was well worth playing. The fees to pay ($10/$15 with rentals) were very reasonable for this type of course. The hole and tee markers looked new; clearly some thought and effort has been made to make the course very playable. I would recommend this course to anyone passing through the area.

Could be better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

So the pro's are amazing. Beautiful location, amazing views, ski lift ride and beer and food at the base lodge. But unfortunately for me, I expect a higher level of course for 10$.

Cons:

Honestly being only 9 holes was not the end of the world for me, but it does keep if from being a destination course. You play because its here. I also thought it did not use the terrain very well. I do understand it is on protected land so they cant just cut anywhere, but I found the long down hills, followed by straight up hills tedious. There really is no signature (or even vaguely memorable) hole. Tees are natural, and again thats OK, but did not like the "poles" that marked them and signage to next hole was weak. And is the case with any open course, tall grass was an issue in a few places.

Other Thoughts:

All and all it could just be better. Sunapee is a much better course for the same money.

Scenic 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Innova Discatcher baskets.
Good signs.
Scenic Pinkham Notch New Hampshire location.
Awesome views of the Presidential Range and Mount Washington.
Decent mix of left to right and vice versa.

Cons:

With the drastic elevations on certain holes it can be easy to find the sides of the fairways. If you do, your disc will be lost 75% of the time. When I went the fairways "ski slopes" were overgrown and discs could take a while to find in the fairway. 9 holes and 2 chairlifts make it a "round". There seemed to be a lot of snakes out when I played.

Other Thoughts:

This is NOT a disc golf destination. It's more of an add on to drum up summer business from the tourists. I played while my family took a bus ride up Mount Washington. As an avid hiker, I was very against doing such a thing so I played Wildcat instead. After seeing how Mount Sunapee Resort utilized it's ski terrain for a disc golf course I'm inclined to rate this a 2. I wont play here again unless it was by circumstances out of my control

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 18, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course fee includes a ride up on a ski lift to play this course. Hole #1 is one of the greatest shots ever with a huge elevation drop. The basket looks tiny way down on the field below.

Cons:

After hole #1 the rest of the course is more tame with a mixture of walking up, down and along on ski trails.

Other Thoughts:

I am rating this course, even though I played it two years ago, because as of this date it has no reviews and is worth checking out . I rode up on the ski lift again this pass summer and from the lift the course looked about the same as when I played. With a couple more holes as spectacular as hole #1 the course would be great and believe me they have the terrain to do this.
