Pros:
Whatcom County needed another course installation that exceeded the beginner level fairways found at the Lynden, Ferndale, and Cornwall disc golf courses. This course is challenging but fair.
*All the baskets have Orange tops which really helps find them more easily.
*The front 9 is much easier than the back 9 as many of the "Snags", "Peewee Arms" or brush, twigs, branches have been trimmed back allowing for some fairness.
*Good balance of technical, distance, hairpin, and hyzer/anhyzer throws
Cons:
*Back 9 is challenging. I believe hole #10 is a par 4 and has an unnecessary wall of trees that makes par nearly impossible if you don't bring your A game.
*Lots of brush and ferns. If you throw inaccurately, you'll end up spending a lot of time looking for your disc.
*If it is raining the slightest, your going to get wet as the inevitable disc hunt will bring you into the forest and you'll absorb a lot of water. I played with it barely sprinkled and left with soggy shoes and pants.
*It gets dark 1-2 hours before sunset as the course is heavily dense.
*A few shots go over the walking/hiking paths.
Other Thoughts:
Again, this is a great, challenging and fair course. It's worth a trip to Blaine to play it. I wouldn't drive across the state to play this course, but if I'm looking for a challenge this is a good course.
