Maintenance Needed 
Pros: As others have said, this is a very neat and unique course. Given little to work with the designer came up with a challenging and interesting set up. As was written on an old guest book that I once saw there, "Mad Max meets disc golf".
Cons: Overgrown brush makes even seeing some of the pins a challange.
Trash everywhere. Beer bottles, cans and fast food wrappers are strewn all over the course.
Man made barriers near the tees force one to throw a standard flight.

Other Thoughts: There are very few trash cans so people have been making trash piles near some of the tees.
General trash (fast food wrappers, grocery bags) was blowing throughout the course. Some of this may have come from a recycling plant across the road.
On some holes the brush has become so tall that the pin cannot be seen until you are right on top of it. Even the old map I had was of little help.
I've first played this course in `07 and had a great time. However since then Baca has gone downhill badly.

Pros: -Very cool circular concrete tee pads on every hole add an artistic touch along with man made obstacles on a few holes.
-Distances marked on every hole but no signs
-Logical flow of hole layout makes navigation pretty manageable
-Nice mix of holes both short and long gives some birdie chances and some holes you really have to work for a three.

Cons: -Some pin placements seemed absolutely unfair. So much cover that you pretty much have to go past the hole and shoot back to it. With a little tree trimming my rating would definitely jump to a 3.5 or even a 4.
-Noise from the nearby recycling plant and off-road vehicle park take away from the solitude of the course.

Other Thoughts: I would call this a definite must play if in the Albuquerque, NM area.
- Can be very hot not a lot of shade, bring water
-Throw bright discs only. Thick sage brush can hide your disc very well
- Very windy so be prepared for that.

Surprising
Pros: Nice big and artistic tee pads and a well laid out course that takes full advantage of the terrain are the big high lights of this course. I was also pleasently surprised about how much I enjoyed the man made objects that were used to assist in creating new challenges on various different holes. I like hole 14 I believe it is that has distance markers to at least 500 ft to show you how long your drive is. There is a mail box for maps at the first tee. There are things for kids to do in a play area the sits right there on the first tee and last green.
Cons: It felt weird to be driving past salvage yards and then the dump on the way to the course. There is some very nasty brush on a few holes that you will not have fun walking through in order to find a disk, and you will be very lucky to find any disk that does go in there. There is little protection on the course from wind so that becomes a major factor. The course is also right next to a dirt bike/4 wheel/whatever other motorized play vehicle you own and had a couple of them come into the course as I was playing.
Other Thoughts: I played thios course on a very windy day, do not do as I did. They were also out of maps which made finding holes very interesting. I almost did not play but am very glad that I did. I certainly felt like I had gotten a birdie every time I got a bogy. Mid way through my round though I was just taken by how much I was enjoying myself. It was almost like playing again for the first time.

Pros: This course has some very cool holes. On hole 4 the tee box is literally on the precipace of a 40ft drop-off into an "Arroyo" which is basically a small canyon where water would run through after a rain. You throw along the length of the arroyo, out over the top of it to a basket that is on the edge as well. The arroyo makes the holes around it pretty neat. You can play from inside it if your disc ends up there, assuming it doesn't have flowing water in it at the time. There are some very long holes out here! Long course overall. We were there in March and had nice 60 degree weather and not too much wind. It would be a very tough course in the wind. There are manmade obstacles on just about every hole. They are pretty amusing and really don't obstruct too much at all, but you appreciate the effort. There are a few mandos that I remember that make the holes even more interesting. Desert setting is cool and unlike anything else I've ever played. We had the course entirely to ourselves in the middle of a weekday for about 2 and a half hours! The concrete teepads are circular and huge. They are awesome!
Cons: Don't go by yourself. There is desert brush everywhere that can hide discs easily, especially after a 400 ft drive. Snakes are also common, although we didn't see any when we were there.
Other Thoughts: Fun course. Take a camera and a video camera.

Rustic and Challenging
Pros: Disclaimer: I only had time to play the front 9. On the day I played this course, the winds were nearly 20 mph from the south which made for some frustrating play. Holes were well marked and of an interesting variety. Wish I had more time to explore this course more thoroughly, and also recommend that you bring a partner for help in finding discs and just as a general safety back-up. Beautiful desert scenery despite being right next to a wastewater facility. Views of mountains to the north.
Cons: Wear sturdy shoes and socks, very rough and unforgiving terrain. Bring plenty of water. Wind can be an issue here. Spent a lot of time searching for discs in the low brush.
Other Thoughts: Will definitely be back sometime to play this one again. I'm sure I probably played it under the worst circumstances.
