Pros:
- Course is set in an area that is mostly forest, with some open areas mixed in. The terrain is very hilly, including a large sloping dam. Doesn't seem like anything other than disc golf goes on here.
- The best feature of this course is the constant hilliness, with many uphill shots, downhill shots, valley shots, and one big downhill run. It goes: #2 down, #3 up, #4 down, #5 up, #6 down, etc. etc. Great mix of steep uphills (#17), uphills (#3), valley shots (#14), downhills (#4), and big downhills (#16).
- Holes also have a good variety of lines to hit. While a lot of the course demands a straight shot, there are some good RHBH anhyzers (#5, #13) and hyzers (#1, #18). The rough off the fairways is particularly nasty in spots; inaccurate shots make saving par almost impossible.
- Big slopes lead to some big sloped greens, with tons of rollaway potential. #14 is sloped in front and behind the basket, for instance. Almost every hole with elevation has a tricky green, and many are protected by trees as well.
- Water is in play in a few spots, like the creek on #4 and #16, and the lake on #14. Usually, a shot has to be way short or way long to get wet, but it is definitely possible.
- Good signage, and baskets. Navigation isn't too bad, especially when marked on the previous tee signs. Good crossings in spots, but many other places are very tough to traverse. Not for the faint of heart or knees. Teepads are in horrible shape as well; at least a big run-up isn't needed for nearly every hole.
Cons:
- Biggest drawback with this course is the very short length. Many, many holes under 250', with four under 200'. The only longer hole is very much downhill, too, so most players will rarely, if ever, need a driver.
- Overall, course is not taken care of very well. Lots of overgrowth, dead branches or piles of logs, definitely still rough around the edges. Some hills are very treacherous, especially when wet.
Other Thoughts:
- This course is a harsh lesson in elevation; with nearly every hole having a pretty significant hill of some sort. #4 is a great cliff shot over a creek, #17 is a tight, steep uphill shot with a protected basket. Lots of obstacles on each hole, like numerous trees or some thick, thorny rough. The short hole lengths can be easily countered by lots of hazards.
- Probably a good course for players right in the middle; beginners will find it too challenging, and experts might find the short holes too easy to reach. But, there are many memorable shots that can be very fun or very frustrating for everybody.
