Pros:
Alternate titles:
"Ace runs galore"
"Cubby's heaven"
"Perfect venue to set the world record for most holes played in 24 hours (if you don't die of boredom)"
*An ideal course to introduce kids and people brand new to throwing discs to the sport. Kids aged 8-10 should absolutely love it!
*Great for ace runs (if you're a teenager or older and have even a little experience). Cubby should move here!
*Simple to navigate. If you can't find your way here then you'd better give up on going to any other courses without someone to hold your hand. I'm pretty sure that any 5 year old can find each tee and basket.
*Beauty- not so much on the course, but with the mountain views in the distance.
*No safety issues
*Impossible to lose a disc
*Quick rounds. It only took me 10 minutes to play.

Cons:
-No obstacles. Not a tree or a bush in play.
-Adults with any experience will get bored very quickly
-The par on the signs is not accurate. In this case it's too low since many are marked as par 2. They don't seem to realize that this is a Green level course, so every hole is a par 3 for Green level players. Most Adults need to understand that their skill level is higher than skill level of the course's intended player, so they will shoot significantly under Green par. This course is a poster child for why consistent par standards are needed for different course levels!
-No amenities but most people playing this course won't really even be looking for much. A map isn't necessary. Score cards would be a nice touch. You can walk a few feet to use almost any basket for a warm up. Benches aren't needed. If you need a restroom just hold it for 10 minutes until you finish your round.

Other Thoughts:
Course Level: Green (most suited for kids, very new players, and players rated 800.)
Course Difficulty: 0.3 (out of 10)
I wish that every town had a course like this, and I would have loved to take my kids here when they were small. This is the ideal place to take an 8 year old kid playing their first course. I found it hard to rate this course because it does it's job very well for it's intended player, but my low rating reflects my own personal lack of enjoyment of the course. I even gave it a little extra credit for being such a great Green level course. Since every hole was an open ace run that made it a little fun, but playing once was enough. Even though having only 6 holes is usually like 1/3 of a plate of food, this little appetizer was enough.
<span class="underline">A note about my rating:</span> My rating is a subjective measure of my enjoyment of the course it is NOT intended to be a measure of the quality of the course. My ratings are given "on the curve" in relation to all other courses I've played.
