The Hills are Alive
Reviewed:
Played on:Jun 16, 2023
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
If you like hilly and wooded courses this is the place for you.
Favorite holes.
2. After a simple warmup hole, the challenge begins with as visually intimidating Tee as you'll find. The steep bluff in front of you as you stand on the tee will cause you to reconsider your choice of recreation for that day! I've not been brave enough to play the long tee, the short has trouble of it's own for a weak throwing old dude like me. I've had the misfortune of catching a roller back down the hill, as I'm sure others have.
Once you crest the hill the fun begins.
4. A super cool risk reward dogleg right that I'm sure you cannon armed he men will take the short cut across a 20-25 foot deep ravine.
7. Trees strategically placed to catch your throws that you just pured towards a basket that is wide open in a utility right of way. There's a significant risk at trying to make a putt from distance because the basket is on a severe slope and will compound your troubled round if you miss.
8. A great downhill that's open enough to get the disk flying but thick with brush and bushes in the landing areas. You could be smart and layup but what's the fun in that when a large downhill looms?
11. Two tee options and one sits high on a ledge through a tunnel towards a pin perched on a ledge with logs framing it. Very cool.
16. A beautiful hole with a long downhill through a valley. In the fall on a sunny day it's a calendar worthy picture.
18. Another big downhill finishing hole. Open enough for seeing your disc go a long ways but trees, like everywhere, can interrupt your magnificent flight and have you reaching in your bag to try it again.
The others are to me anyways a little more mundane, but still full of wonders and miracles.

Cons:
If you don't like hilly and wooded courses this isn't the place for you.
Wondering if there was any possibility of placing a hole in the utility right of way? A huge open downhill throw would be a lot of fun, but this isn't as much of a con as it is just a question.
Being new at this I kind of hate to say there's cons on any course that you can play for free. I really can't think of any here anyways.

Other Thoughts:
This course with Moraine St. Park (I've not played but heard great things) would make for a nice day trip. A warmup 15 minutes away at the highly rated 9 holer 2 mile extension could add to it. Visually this course is top two for me.
