Tower Ridge II
5+ 
4/5/2012 
4/9/2012
Pros: 18-hole layout.
Concrete tees on all holes and multiple pin locations on most.
Maps by the tees and markers by the holes showing which way to next tee.
Excellent mix of short and long holes, all played through the woods.
Yellow rimmed baskets are easy to spot.
Practice basket available.
Bathrooms and water available in the ski chalet.
Horse and walking trails run close to the course, offering a nice variety of activities.
Great course for beginners wanting to throw in the woods as well as experienced players wanting to work on accuracy through the tight fairways.

Cons: Not very many elevation changes on the entire course (which is actually a nice break from the hills on Tower Ridge I).
A lot of logs and dead brush in the woods on some of the holes. This is from the initial creation of the course, as well as the continued maintenance and upgrades. For the most part all the 'debris' is a decent ways off the fairway, but it still can be an issue.
Pay to play - $3/day - $25/season.

Other Thoughts: I'm a local and I play this and Tower I as much as possible. This course is a lot of fun, and slightly easier than Tower I. The lack of elevation makes for quicker rounds as well. The maintenance is pretty good on this course, and the guys that take care of it are always trying to find ways to make it more fun and more challenging. There is a spot about half-way through where the two courses intersect and can be played as one continuous 36-hole loop.
This course has a high replay value, especially with the two courses being right next to each other.

Cons: Explodedmike was right on.
The maps look like they were cut out of a printout and not reorientated for the individual holes. Very misleading but not the end of the world.

Other Thoughts: Nice break after doing the first course but lovely. I wouldn't drive past it.

Dittos to CwAlbino
Pros: See CwAlbino's reviews
Additional pros:
- Clear underbrush makes finding discs easy
- Fairly linear play keeping newbies from getting lost

Cons: See CwAlbino's post
Additional cons:
- In addition to the lack in upkeep, the signs and maps are confusing and misleading. Each hole has a small map at the tee pad, but many times the drawing was VERY misleading. More than once everyone took a mulligan because we shot to a clearing that seemed to be indicated by the drawing only to discover the pin was located in an entirely different clearing. Perhaps this was due to alternate pin locations.
- The maps were all oriented very awkwardly. It looked like someone took an overall course map and simply cropped out the individual hole without reorienting it so on holes that shoot south appear (by conventions of disc golf cartography) to shoot off of the back of the tee.
** Please note that my biggest gripe is with the maps on the tee boxes. This course freaking ROCKED!! **

Other Thoughts: Excellent course. I went with CwAlbino and would like to second everything he said about the course. It's a lot of fun. It's definitely worth taking a day to go play it. :o)

Well Upkept
Pros: This course is the second of the Tower ridge courses and In my opinion takes more skillful shots than One. This course has nice cement pads and the directions are great, unlike tower ridge one (tower ridge old, Two is tower ridge new). The course itself had a great mix of lefty and righty shots, tight fairways, and minor elevation changes.
Cons: After doing tower ridge one, you really realize how much this course is lacking elevation changes, and neither course has any water hazards. Not really a whole lot of cons on this course, but I can see it as becoming slightly repetitive. The upkeep in places is getting to be bad, and the maps on the teesigns can be confusing, however the upkeep is FAR better than tower ridge one.
Other Thoughts: My review of TR-I has a little bit of info on this one as well.
The bathroom are better at the start of TR-II at the welcome center, with lights and running water.
