Hidden gem worth a detour, or even a trip of its own 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 1, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Beautiful landscape (I took several dozen photos)
- Excellent tree coverage for shade on a hot day (it was close to 100 degrees F when I played)
- Great use of a relatively small space
- Teepads on boulders/overlooking cliffs/aimed toward water on a downhill tunnel shot make each hole an exciting surprise
- Each hole is creatively designed and the basket placement is clever enough to challenge most golfers (perched atop a boulder on a death putt, inside a gazebo where the gazebo is OB, right on the water's edge so you have to place your shot wisely, etc)
- Friendly and welcoming crew manning the campground, willing to assist with wayfinding and general advice
- Active participation with leagues/tags/tournaments/etc (based on what people on the course told me) means the people maintaining the course will likely stay motivated to make sure the course remains as awesome as it is today
- You'll get a great workout for sure with all the elevation changes, challenging terrain, and mental stress from death putts

Cons:

- A few more signs couldn't hurt, but with a layout like this that encourages exploring/climbing/wandering, I probably wouldn't have followed them anyway
- Some teepads are still under construction, but ample signage makes them easy to use regardless

Other Thoughts:

Seriously, if you are driving near here, make it a point to stop and play a round. And if you aren't driving near here, make it a point to drive here to stop and play a round. It's unique, it's beautiful, it's challenging, it's a workout, and it's got something for everyone. Plus, the campground store is fully stocked with all kinds of (reasonably priced!) drinks and snacks to load up on for your trip home. I played yesterday and I'm already trying to round up a group to make a trip back. There are many other courses nearby so you could easily make a disc golf weekend out of a trip to the area, but if you do that, make sure this is one of your stops!
