 A rugged challenge

Pros: Excellent, challenging layout with lots of variety. Reminds me of Nockamixon, only a bit smaller. Some serious elevation changes, left & right doglegs, a creek that very much comes into play, length in addition to short gauntlets. Rocky and stumpy fairways make the course play longer as you'll rarely be able to run up. Get off the fairway and you'll have trouble due to the trees, but won't have to worry about thorns or ticks either. There's a lean-to, presumably for some quiet partying. Front 9 ends back at the clubhouse, which is convenient.
Cons: The ruggedness is a con for casual players and families. No real facilities; there is an outhouse for ladies, but no potable water. No optional shorter tees or baskets for amateurs. "New" hole 17 was extremely swampy and borderline unplayable. Hole 18 is all by itself and out of the way... I'd call it poor design, but I like the hole a lot and would hate to see it change. Creek crossings are sketchy (bouncy ladders placed on the ground with wood on top). No teepads or tee markers, just a poorly defined gravel area. Would benefit from 1 or 2 more open holes.
Other Thoughts: You'll have to sign a waiver, and there is a suggested donation at the door. Glad to see someone loves the game so much to provide the land and put in the work, especially with nothing else in a 50-mile radius. I was about a half foot from an eagle on 16 due to some lucky shots, but ended up in the drink for a tap-in 5. If you're an advanced player, I'd say this is a must-play. Beginners beware.

Pros: A good mix of long and short holes and wooded and open as well. Creek comes into play on a couple of holes and has one of the most unique basket placements ever. Basket on number 16 is placed in the middle of a creek. (about 8-10 feet wide) One man crew designed, cut and maintains the course and was much better than I originally was thinking it would be. Tees are marked well, but you should print out a map before going. A lot of walking between holes, and the flow of the course can be tricky at times. However, for a one man operation this is a great course. Not a roller course as the terrain is rocky, and lots of tree trunks.

Pros: gorgeous woods, unique basket placement, unique hole layouts,
great hike all the way through & around course, short hikes from tee to tee
Cons: hard to find, rugged parking areas, buggy at times, bigfoot interference,
disc loss, woods-woods-woods, tight fairways. now with concrete t-pads awesome!!!
Other Thoughts: NOT a course for beginners nor the casual disc golfer, play with Morgan...
he is very knowledgable, play with a group not alone...it will be more fun

Pros: Lots of elevation. Lots of parking. Top quality chains (Strokesavers, best chains ever!!) Some par 4 and 5 holes make for good eagle opportunity. Beautiful rugged Adirondacks, clean air. Hole 12 is awesome. Pro shop, score cards, course maps, news bulletin board, two tournaments PDGA sanctioned per year. Hole 16 is famous.
Cons: No place to buy beer within 4 miles.

Pros: every hole will challenge your skills. Definately not a novelty in my opinion. Very creative and scenic.
Cons: Not open to public. Unless your A course sponsor (?) you can't play this course except for the two tourney's they have each year.
Other Thoughts: Wish I had this course in my back yard!

Pros: Basket in the river = genius. Why haven't we seen this before? Very impressive tree-clearing. This course was carved like the Colorado carved the Grand Canyon. Oh, and there's serious elevation challenges (in a very good way).
Cons: LOTS of stumps on some holes and the limited open thing mentioned above. Lack of signage but if it's not open to the public year-round it's really not needed.
Other Thoughts: A must-play for everyone. I don't know how this could be called a novelty course even if you only consider #16's basket in the river.

Pros: Simply one of the top 3 best courses I've played out of nearly 50. Amazing work has been done to0 this place. Each hole is creative, beautiful, and enjoyable. Has anyone mentioned flying squirrels and snakes? :) Beautiful place!
Cons: What others could list as cons for me really aren't cons. It is rugged, can be punishing at times, and I don't mind that I have to pee on a tree. ;)
Other Thoughts: If you can go there to play it---don't hesitate. Great course!!!
