Surprisingly Decent 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Finding the course: Once you turn right onto Keyport Rd turn left at the parking fee sign. The basket for hole nine is visible at this point. Drive to end of the road and park, hole one is next to the neat little turn style gates made out of PVC pipe. The concrete tee pad for hole one is right there.

Although short the course has many interesting shots, mostly low ceiling or semi tunnel shots. Disaster lurks around most baskets; pick your poison between llama poop and thick ferns and landing in either one of them comes down to luck. Holes four and five feature small drops behind the basket and contain most of the elevation.

Cons:

The course starts and ends kind of weak for me. Hole one isn't a terrible hole but it's mostly open, the only real challenge on this hole is keeping your RHBH throw from hyzering out too early and ending in the ferns and over a small fence, disc is easily found and retrieved however. Hole eight is the worst on the course, not too much too it just don't get carried away on a short, open hole and you'll be fine. Hole nine is almost as annoying as you are throwing to blind basket behind a bunch of bushes and tall grass and is an easy RHBH hyzer for anyone who's played this game for any length of time.

Other Thoughts:

This course was surprisingly pretty good for a short nine hole course in the middle of nowhere. Six holes are really good, one is decent and two are annoying and boring which is better than I can say about most nine hole courses. I wouldn't go out of my way to play it but it's worth playing a few times when you get tired of other courses or if you want to learn how to throw low ceiling shots and shape strange lines. It says pay to park but we didn't have to do that. One of the local residents talked to us and was pretty welcoming which was nice as we weren't sure if we were in the right place or if someone was going to yell at us or something. There are llamas and people living in the area so please keep your voices down and encourage others to do so as well.

Pros:

Langes Ranch Park is a little 9 hole pitch and putt that plays around this small resort. The resort is on the small side and I imagine is busier during the summer months. Once you locate the #1 tee pad, the course is easy to follow. The baskets are the Liberty models with the ultra shiny galvanized chains. Even with the shiny chains. they're a little hard to spot in the NW forest here. The pads range from a nice concrete pad on # 1 to natural to roughed out versions on the many of the holes. I assume more concrete pads are in the plans. The signs are very simple little wooden ones which simply have the hole #. There are also simple next tee signs pointing to the next pad making navigation easy.

The holes all seem to be about 200'-250'. # 1 might reach 300'. Those holes in the woods tend to be fairly technical with tight lines. The four in the llama pastures are much more open. I found # 8 to be the only real easy hole on the course. It's just a 200' throw across a field to an open basket, an easy ACE run.

Cons:

Except for # 1, the pads are pretty rough right now. On a couple of them, you're kinda throwing out of a hole. I'm never a fan of that.

# 4 was a short 200' (???) downhill through the trees and branches. I couldn't find a route here.

I thought there were places on this course where you could have been teeing off up high and throwing some neat "touch" shots to a basket below.

Other Thoughts:

Playing through the llamas on # 1 was interesting. Just remember that male llamas will try to eliminate their mating competition by biting them right in their llama prize packages therefore rendering their opponents unable to breed. Keep that in mind if you happen to play through the male llamas pasture during their breeding seasons. And maybe think about holding your putter in front of your package!
