Other Thoughts:
I don't know how many ways I can say that it's a bad idea to have what seems to be 40 teepads strewn out over a course with 27 (i think) baskets. It's a total mess, and I even had a guide when I played it.
This chunk of land has SO MUCH potential,it's unfortunate that the locals can't figure anything out and make some concrete decisions on what to do. Hopefully someone will step up and take that task on.

Report this Review Recent Improvements But Still Too Many Layouts!

Pros: This is a nice physical setting for a course with just enough elevation change to allow for a couple of those big-air throws that we all love. The holes on the orginal and second design were, for the most part, well thought out and challenging. Muliple tees provided something for everyone from the novice to the very skilled player.
Cons: As the first reviewer commented, the locals kept building more and more and more layouts! It's amazing that no-one considers the player visiting the course for the first time. With 14 different layouts, it would probably be impossible to keep them all straight, even with the best signage.
Other Thoughts: This course is worth a visit, it's a challenge to play and a bigger challenge to find the right baskets. Find a local and follow them! I just played the course again after a two year absence and was pleasently surprised. Someone has done a wonderful job with new signs and some newly painted benches. The rating that I previously gave this course ( 4 stars) has been bothering me for quite some time now. After some thought, I've decided that because this course is so incredibly confusing for a first time player/visitor that it just can't be rated that high and that I was probably letting my home boy bias factor in to my rating.

Lost potential from too many confusing layouts

Pros: The map book shows 14 different layouts! The local players must like lots of variety.
Cons: There's a Chinese story about an over zealous artist who made a very good drawing of a snake but he kept adding to his picture and ruined it by adding legs. It means that some good things can be ruined by continuing to add too much, and this is the case at Fort Steilacoom. The course map shows 14 different layouts that combine tees and baskets in a multitude of configurations! I've never seen a course with so many different layouts. Although the locals must like the variety it's horrendous for a newcomer to try to navigate! When you add to it that the tee signs aren't very good, and many have been vandalized the course is incredibly frustrating to navigate. In addition there are serious safety issues from crossing fairways as people are playing alternate layouts. Discs could be flying all over the place. One reviewer suggested wearing a football helmet to stay safe. The course pro should keep in mind that "Frustration foils fun" and this course is extremely frustrating to navigate. There's some nice terrain there and some nice holes, so I think it would be a lot better to reduce the number of layouts and focus on making 27 good holes with tees and baskets that are easy to find and well maintained.
Other Thoughts: Course Level- I'm guessing White level, but the course was so confusing that I have little confidence in knowing what layouts the holes I played were really part of, thus I'm not sure of their lengths, so I can't determine the level.
