Pros:
The 1st review on this page is spot on, so I will not be redundant and do a hole by hole recap. I will say this place is fantastic and the amount of work, thought and care is evident. Tight technical lines, old growth hardwood forest with gorgeous greens and spectacular views makes this a must play course. Excellent use of topography and natural geographic features. The last 4 holes are all downhill bombs, which will require control and precision, but it sure is fun to throw a midrange 500+feet, no ticks,or bugs, disc losing potential is minimal, no water hazards or thick rough off the fairway. ski slopes are mowed and finding discs is not an issue.
Cons:
As this is a course in its infancy I do not see any cons. If you are out of shape, this course will destroy you. I am an endurance ultra runner and after 2 rounds I was beat! This may not be the 1st choice to bring a beginner-novice player, the lines are technical but fair. Multiple shots are needed to do well, lots of forehand and anny shots required.
Other Thoughts:
Having played 2 rounds with one of the designers, I am extremely confident that this course will continue to improve, and ongoing work will happen. They have a punch list of items that they know will improve play, which includes, b-tees, cleaning up overhanging limbs, selective cutting a few holes that border on throw and pray in terms of the gap to hit. B tees for the newbies would be a nice addition as well. I plan to come back to magic mountain and find it is well worth the hour drive. On site bar and grill is a huge plus as well. I fully anticipate being able to update this to a 4 star review as the work continues and it begins to get played regularly. If you are a fan of mountain golf you will love this place!
