What to Expect - Disc Golf set in a park that doesn't have the feel of park style golf. Mostly flat with small bits of elevation change, moderately to heavily wooded at times. Very cart friendly and much less rocky than the other courses in the Flagstaff area.

Amenities - Massive park with ample parking, camping locations on site, playgrounds, lake activities, biking, hiking, etc. Plenty to do besides disc golf. Modern bathrooms and port o johns in multiple locations. Trash cans located throughout the course. Practice basket in a well shaded spot just off the parking lot (nearer to hole #18 than #1) but probably done so for shade purposes which is a plus.

Tees/Signage/Baskets - Large textured concrete tee pads. Massive course map Kiosk with all relevant disc golf information and park rules. Tee signs are simplistic but contain all the necessary information and a simple hole map depicting up to three possible pin locations on each hole. Baskets were Yellow Innova Discatchers in good shape and really stood out amongst the wooded backdrop.

Design - Mix of heavily tree lined fairways, a few tight tunnel gaps, and several two shot "placement" par 4's. Course is extremely short even in the long pin positions but makes up for it with difficult lines, tricky greens, and punishing OB. A shot shapers dream course if you can work a disc and be accurate in the 200-250 range. Big arms can struggle with all the tight lines, shorter distances, and unforgiving OB. Two well-designed individual 9 hole loops that start and end at the parking lot. Every hole on the course is birdieable with a well executed set of shots. There are no unfair holes or holes that you feel like you have to play for par.

Navigation - Pretty intuitive flow to the course. There could possibly be some confusion after you play Hole #10 though. If you continue to walk on past the basket and to your left you will find Hole #13's tee pad (which you can see from #10's basket). So I could see how one might accidently skip #11 and #12. Tee pad for Hole #11 is off to your right after you complete Hole #10. Otherwise the entire course consists of just following the bike trail between holes and most tees are visible from the previous basket and very close by.

Signatures - Multiple (so many gorgeous holes visually, and multiple shot shape wise). I'm going to mention Hole #18 because it is probably the best finishing hole in Flagstaff (just barely beating Hole #18 at Little America Crew Course). A very daunting 600 ish foot Par 4 which seems easy until you try and shape your disc down this unforgiving fairway. A gorgeous tunnel of massive Ponderosa trees line both the left and right sides of the fairway with an OB road pressing in from the right, and the OB parking lot pressing in from the left. The fairway lowers the ceiling as you progress down and gently curves left to right for your tee shot. You think throwing down around the corner of trees is ideal only to arrive at your second shot and see an extremely low ceiling right to left hyzer required to beat a wall of trees you've now left yourself behind. A very soft dirt green is surrounded by trees, massive rock lined circular OB to provide one last speed bump to stop discs from ending up in the road or parking lot. Towering Ponderosa's on all sides. Very difficult finishing hole, visually pleasing, and a great way to cap off an amazing round of disc golf.

Extras - Course has occasional benches, or well placed rocks to rest on. No water hazards to speak of and really no chance of lost discs. Despite being inside of a massive park area, the course feels secluded while you play and park goers are rarely an issue.

Variety - Despite being tightly wooded in areas, the shot shapes are very repetitive, especially the Par 4's. (I can only speak to the pin locations I played and changing pin locations may significantly change the shot shapes asked of players). I found myself throwing only 4-5 discs to play the entire course as shot shapes and distances were very similar over and over.

Distances - Even in the long pin locations this course plays very short. Even the par 4's feel like tweeners (outside of Hole #18). While this course is very nice for novice players through intermediate players, stronger players will shred this course. (I believe Ohn Scoggins shot -13 on this course during Masters Worlds) and I played a small portion of a practice round with Julianna Korver and watched her park two of the Par 4's from the tee.

Playing Surface - Not a huge con but the course is covered in fine, soft dirt. Discs do not skip, very little ground play, and the fine dirt gets easily kicked up by wind and other disturbing movements and sticks to everything. I can imagine when it does rain, this course being very muddy and difficult to play.

Elevation - If you really enjoy flat courses, this course is right up your alley. There are a few slight inclines and declines but nothing that really comes into play. Hole #2 is a slight downhill and Hole #3 is a slight uphill and Hole #11 is a short downhill Par 4 that is reachable from the tee on the correct line. Otherwise this course is a flat, moderate to heavily treed course with little variety.

Pin Locations - For first time visitors this could be a huge issue as there is no indicator on the tee signs which position the pins are in. There are at least 3 pin locations on each hole and they can vary in distance and direction wildly. You may have to spend some time locating where the basket is currently located once arriving at each new tee.

Despite some cons, this is probably the most fun course to play in Flagstaff. The difficulty isn't super high, a well played round can get you a ton of birdies, and it isn't a physically demanding course and there is plenty of shade throughout. The property is gorgeous and the atmosphere while playing is very relaxing. The holes are designed in a way where bogey is probably the worst score you can take as scrambling is easy and the rough is extremely fair and cut down. Not the most demanding course in town, but by far the most enjoyable. While NAU, Thorpe and McPherson demand more of you, this course is more of a relaxing round than a super competitive one. While I wouldn't call this a destination course on its own, it is certainly a can't miss if you are planning to stay in Flagstaff and hit a couple courses. Worth the drive up from the hotter parts of Arizona to enjoy the cool Flagstaff climate and get in some throws for sure though.

Great layout. Easy to follow. Nice variation with some elevation involved.

Some holes were just a bit short in the position, but that's just nitpicking.

Great course for spring and summer weather in Flagstaff. It was basically empty on a weekday and it was challenging enough but not so difficult that it was frustrating.

- 18 top of the line baskets (DiscCatcherPro 28)
- concrete teepads
- multiple basket locations
- heavily treed, legit fairways that add challenge
- mix of par 3s and a couple 4s
- hole 18 is the best finishing hole in town
- garbage cans throughout
- practice basket
- easy to navigate (map at kiosk)
- not nearly as rocky as the other courses in town
- 2 well-designed, 9 hole loops

- some repetitive shots (lots of similar lines)
- no benches
- very little elevation change
- shared trail with bikers
-very tall baskets (about 4-6" too high)
-poor construction of teepads (some very slick and pool water - ice in winter will be issue)
- tweener par 4's (wish some holes could be longer)

This is a really fun course. It has a mix of everything. Very balanced. Fort Tuthill has some slight elevation, but nothing crazy. The land is gorgeous and you have a feeling of isolation and peace while playing. It is the newest and imo, the most fun course in town.

lots of parking, camping onsite, and close to town (right off freeway)

Par ranges from 54-56

par 13 long par 4
par 18 middle and long par 4

Rest are typically played as par 3

The baskets are definitely a pro as they are brand new Innova DISCatcher Pro 28 baskets. The yellow color helps them stand out in this environment which is in contrast to nearby courses. The tee signs are informative and look nice. The variation in the length of the holes is nice as there are some holes that you can ace run as well as holes that require a few good shots to birdie. There are some helpful "next tee" signs which assist in the navigation. This course does have a few par 4 holes and a par 5 which is in contrast to the other courses in the area which might have one par 4 at most.

The biggest con at this point, in July 2018, is that there are only concrete tee pads on holes 1, 10, 17, and 18. The rest of the tee areas are marked fairly well, but are basically a few inches of fine dirt. This dirt can hide some of the bumpiness beneath and make for a stumbling, awkward run up to the tee shot. The next biggest con for me is that this course is very flat and has next to no elevation changes which is in contrast to other courses in the area. There are other minor cons like the tee signs not indicating the position that the baskets are in. Another small issue is that the navigation from 10 to 11 and also from 15 to 16 can be a bit tricky.

This course was underwhelming for me. Don't get me wrong...when you travel from the 110+ degree Phoenix weather and play in the 70-degree Flagstaff weather, it is hard to complain at all. I just feel like the NAU course, Thorpe course, and especially the McPherson course, are superior to this course. The holes tend to be a bit left hand backhand or right hand forehand friendly. Since I am comfortable throwing right hand backhand and right hand forehand, this wasn't a pro or a con, but just something to be aware of when you play this course. Personally, many courses are friendlier to right hand backhand throwers, so to have a course that favors the other side is fine by me. There are several bathrooms with private, locking stalls, that are contained in a building. However, the toilets in the building are actually just porta john toilets with no running water, but they are helpful nonetheless and more room than a typical porta john. While this course is rated a "3" by me, I would definitely bump it up to a "3.5" once all the concrete tee pads are in installed.

Since this course isn't officially open, it was a pleasure to be able to play 18 within an hour! Pretty sweet setup. They have A,B &C distances but I think the baskets I threw at were B. Good lanes and some great hyser/anhyser shot approaches. Baskets are nicely placed. The ground is nice and soft so not many roll-aways will happen. Good challenges all around. Shot a 5 over and haven't played in over 8 years!

No good signage to where the course is, but easy enough to find. The ground is soft so if you play rollers or are looking for a skip, you can forget about it. But that truly isn't a con, its a part of playing different courses. Tee Pads are mixed between cement and rubber, but are nicely set up. Watch out for foot placements as you could easily turn an ankle if you are not careful, but then again, if you are a decent DG-er, you will adjust to all of that. Directions from 15 to 16 were not quite clear so I played 18, then found 16 and 17. Since this is pre-official opening, my guess is they will have it fixed before the tourney!

I haven't played here since the fall. Just went out today and shot a 52! AWESOME placements as all holes tended to be at max pin locations. It was absolutely wonderful to be back in the high country again. Great job with getting all the tee pads done!
