Destined for Greatness, Despite the Steep Entry Fee 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 16, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Really dynamic shots, with something for everyone. Lots of shots through the trees, some really tricky angles with steep slopes, and a few long open ones.
Despite not having a map, and the tees not being very well marked, we only ran into one or two hiccups, so the overall layout of the course is pretty intuitive despite the varied terrain and the mountain bike trail that constantly weaves through it.

Cons:

Tee condition. Definitely some room for improvement. Living in this area I'm definitely used to mostly natural dirt pads but some of these are neither flat nor marked. Tee 14 was especially underdeveloped. Seeing as this is a very new course, however, I'm cutting it some slack in hopes that there will be improvements soon.

Entry fee. I'm not sure if it was $10 or $8 per car since we have an annual pass but I can imagine that's way outside of the range that a lot of folks are willing to pay, especially if they are new to the sport. Personally, I tend to cap it off at 5 or 6 bucks.

Grass/seasonality. Disc golf courses in the lower foothills are always a double edged sword; in the winter and fall months, the environment is absolutely bucolic. In the spring and summer, you will be spending 80% of your time looking for lost discs that are mere feet from you, unless you have a really good spotter. Not to mention the stickers.

Other Thoughts:

The annual pass to all federally managed park lands that I bought comes in handy in a lot of ways, and the fact that I can use it to make the most out of the winter months at this course is definitely one of them.

I am not sure where I can upload a map that I made of the course, as I am brand new to this site, so if someone with extensive knowledge can send me a DM regarding how to do so, that would be awesome.

* Hole 12 to Tee 13: Go down PAST Tee 16. This was our biggest confusion
