Played the course:once
Pros:
***I played this course while there is logging occurring. I will hopefully be back to play again when the course is put back together and update my review***
-Good condition discatcher baskets
-Unique location with climbing up and over boulders
-Good use of land
-A few holes have new concrete tee pads
-Tee signs are present, though not always accurate or helpful
-There are home-made baskets from tires on all holes. It was fun to play the first hole, but I stuck to the pro baskets for the rest
-Sweet water carry shot over the corner of a good sized pond

Cons:
-As stated above, there is logging going on on the edge of the course, so chaos is king
-3 holes are currently missing, and the instructions for the temporary holes are hard to find AND the Udisc layout for construction doesn't have maps
-Didn't see any bathrooms near the course
-Limited parking that is not right next to the first tee
-Tee signs are present, but not always clear where the fairway or lane is to the basket or even which direction the tee pad (rock) is facing
-The course is run by a campground, and they ask you sign in at the camp store before you play
-I noted the climbing over boulders as a pro earlier, but it is also a con. If you aren't willing to climb up and over slick boulders at a minimum of 3-4 feet and many much larger, you shouldn't play this course
-Underbrush is very thick, bring a buddy to spot

Other Thoughts:
Overall, I enjoyed playing this course. I appreciate the spunky spirit of home-made, grass roots courses like this. BUUTTT the current logging situation will keep me from playing here again until the course is put back together. This course is the opposite of cart friendly and should not be played by anyone who is fearful of climbing over and around large boulders and rocks, as multiple baskets are elevated or on the edges of rocks and ledges. The fact that multiple tees were simply flat-ish tops to huge boulders was more than a little sketchy, especially when throwing serious drives in the misty rain.
Honestly, I really enjoyed playing here, my round took twice as long as needed since I had to find my way through the missing baskets and tees, but I enjoyed the challenge. Hopefully the logging will be done soon and I can return and update my review that better reflects the intentions and efforts of the course owners.
