Fun course with even more potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 14, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great overall experience. The gondola ride and the experience of playing down a ski mountain certainly had a large impact on my score here. I was worried this might be a super beginner friendly course and a bit of a novelty so the resort could get some summer income. I was pleasantly surprised to find the course challenging and had a good variety of shots.

Cons:

The tee pads were super short and not all that level. Not that you need a ton of run up for downhill shots, but I found it a little bothersome.
The distance on the signage was significantly off in spots. I'm not sure but I'm guessing when these were put out for the season they were not put back exactly where the designer intended.
In a few locations the baskets played really close to the next tee pad. If you're not used to throwing downhill it's pretty easy to sail something long and towards other people.

Other Thoughts:

On any other course the two cons listed above would have really irritated me but this course was different enough that the fun of it really outweighed the cons. The fairways were wide open, but if you went into the woods it was not easy getting out. It's unlike any other course I've played in NH and challenged me to think about shots more than normal. The price to play seems like it was good all day so you could certainly play a couple rounds. Just remember good shoes, you are hiking downhill the whole time and it's not easy on feet, knees, legs, etc.

Highest elevation and most scenic course around 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Its rugged!
-Every hole offers amazing views of the surrounding mountains!
-Playing downhill is a high risk/reward game
-Not busy, its very peaceful to play on a mountain in the National Forest
-Great use of the terrain available to transform ski trails into an 18 hole course

Cons:

Its rugged!
-You have to hike down a mountain for a couple hours. There is no backing out, stopping, bathrooms, or going back to the car mid-course.
-Not mowed on a regular basis
-A few holes have wet/muddy/rocky spots
-No benches (yet) or trash cans (because of bears), so pack in and pack out. Most of the trash you might see is from skiers in the winter, please don't litter more!

Other Thoughts:

For its opening season it is a fun and challenging course! Once you figure it out most of the holes can be birdied. Hoping it continues to grow and progress.

This area of the White Mountains is known for its hiking, and this is definitely a hike. NOT A WALK IN THE PARK.

Some tee pads still need work and not all measurements are correct on scorecard and signs. Distances can be deceiving as most of the holes play downhill. Not a good course to try to smash long drives, moderate accurate throws work much better. Bottom 9 traverses a little more to add a couple level holes.

The cost to play is the same price as the Gondola Skyride up to the top of the mountain. So you pay for ride up and essentially play down for free! If anyone is ambitious enough to hike up then you probably could play for free.
