Hangtime!
Pros: 18 hole course played up, down and across a ski mountain.
- Parking, pro shop, concessions, restrooms, etc. - all the amenities you could want due its location at a popular ski mountain
- Terrific scorecard with colored course map available for easy navigation
- For being temporary/removable, the tee signs at each hole are great, giving a good map, plus hole distance/par
- Great use of the mountain - you're not always going straight up or down, as many holes makes good use of lines across the ski trails, either directly across on some flatter portions or diagonally across
- While many tees and baskets are out in the open parts of the slopes, the design was done to ensure you have some tees and pins tucked into the trees that line the trails - hole #7 is completely in a wooded patch going uphill
- Deceptively difficult - even the really short holes (some measure less than 200') are difficult to get down in 2, due to the elevation - you really need to crank into your drive to get it up some of the hills
- Many holes give a number of options for how to attack the basket - hole #2 offers a tight tunnel through two patches of trees or you can throw a big hyzer around the right patch - hole #10 lets you choose to fight with a low fade or try to get a high anny/OH over the line of trees on the left - hole #13 (which was probably my favorite besides the two listed below) tempts you with a low, tight tunnel or you can go high over the treeline with a fade or tomahawk
- Hangtime - Hole #9 is something you must experience if you can - 800' down a fairly steep ski trail creates some "WOW!" drives, but keep your eyes on your disc, as the long distance and treelines (but apparently no more halfpipe) can hide your disc easily - Hole # 14 is also terrific - while it's not nearly as long, it's also a soraing downhill on one of the (smaller) trails and you tee off from the platform of a ski lift - these holes are just super fun to throw, even if your drive isn't perfect

Cons: While there are a few things here, they're totally understandable given the land to work with. I think for being on a ski mountain, this course is pretty much as good as it can get.
- Tees are a bit shaky, with all of them (except #14, I think) being gravel/dirt which can create some rough footing
- I tend to prefer wooded courses/holes, so the abundance of "open" holes on the ski trails can get a bit repetitive
- Not many spots where a bad throw is overly punished - no OB or water and apart from the relatively few holes with baskets tucked in/behind trees, you can easily recover from a tee shot that went way short or to the side
- Walking up and down the slopes can wear you out

Other Thoughts: - Baskets gets pulled for ski season (usually early-mid November to March maybe?)
- Hunter frequently hosts festivals/events during the summer, which can either close some of the holes, alter them or just create congestion - that being said, it was fun to finish the round amidst their Celtic Festival with good food/beer
This is basically just a real fun course. Skot has done a great job getting this in to a high traffic location with a varied, challenging design. If play a round with you, you'll have a blast.

Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed playing this course. I played just after the rain and the mud was very minimal which was a plus. This course is located at a ski resort and the setup really lets you know where you're playing. Hole 9 is an experience you won't get at you're local DG course. Having the signs with maps helped a lot because you can't always see the basket. Offers a good mixture of short wooded and open to long wooded to open holes. Very unique holes. 9 was from the middle of a slope to the bottom. Another you teed off from a lift station. All pars are fair and very reasonable. This course is very good. I understand that with it being at a ski resort permanent tees would be difficult to have but definitely a good addition. Probably not the best course for beginners. I would play this course again and would recommend it to others.

Pros: The elevation changes are sick. People are tired of throwing frisbees on flat ground, what's the fun in that? The course starts at base camp and rises up the east face of Hunter Mountain, the holes up high are 300 feet higher elevation than the lower ones. The views are spectacular. Can you throw an 800 foot hole that drops 220 feet in elevation? Never know if you don't come to Hunter. Some of the holes are open, but some are in cleverly designed slick woodage, but always up or down hills. There is a pro shop and several other stores at the base lodge, they sell discs, bags, food, drinks, etc. Plenty of parking. It's a major ski slope and has all the amenities.
Cons: Tee pads are not the best, but they aren't too bad. Kind of a schlep from the Thruway, but what do you expect? It's a ski slope.
Other Thoughts: The guy below who gave it a 2.5 rating only played it when it was under construction. His review doesn't count.

First Go-round
Pros: Fun, played on the sie of a ski mtn. Brand new. Some trickiness in throwing up and down the slopes. Benches, nice pins, and gravel pads. A different course than most. Hole 9 is a bomber that needs to be experienced.
Cons: Only 9 holes, not much in the way of trees or obstacles. No water. Tough hike if you aren't in shape.
Biggest complaint: Hard to find. Directions said to go to Hunter Mtn, which was fine, but we had to search all over for the actual course start. Just needs better signage at the bottom.

Other Thoughts: Small but nice store in the lodge, very pleasant folks working there. Give it a go if you are in the area.
