Pros:
Peters Creek DGC lies about a half hour's drive northeast of Anchorage, AK. It is very easy to get to, just off of the AK-1 highway on a paved road. The only activities here appear to be disc golf and a short walk to the creek and back.
The 18-hole course plays through a thick forest that mainly consists of birch trees. There are lots of roots and rocks on the fairways. Berry bushes lie in the rough (but not enough of them that you will struggle to find discs). All of this makes a very picturesque setting for a round of disc golf. I bet it is breathtaking in the fall with all the birch trees changing colors.
Not to mention the course's namesake creek. The creek runs along one edge of the course and can come into play behind/to the left of the basket on hole 17, or possibly on a very errant throw/very unfortunate tree kick on holes 15, 16, and 18. The creek is very likely to swallow your discs if it does see them, but is pretty easy to avoid.
This plays as a technical par 3 course. A good variety of left turning, right turning, and straight fairways are cut through the trees. The hole lengths range from about 175' to about 400', but most holes are probably in the 200'-300' range. Despite the shorter length, the holes are tight enough that this is definitely not just a pitch-and-putt. A birdie will require a very well shaped tee shot, and possibly a little luck as well on some holes. A few of the longer holes are a little more open (still in the woods though).
The baskets are all in good condition. I think they are Mach V models. The tee pads are all concrete and also in good shape. Every tee pad also has a trash can, with a board over the lid to deter bears and other wildlife.
There is a porta potty at the parking lot, as well as a kiosk that proclaims this is the "Joel Fletcher Armstrong Memorial DGC". A plaque on a nearby rock also gives tribute to the person of the same name.
Cons:
The signage here needs a refresh. It looks like at one point the holes each had a green tee sign with a rough flight path and distance. However, as of this writing many of these signs are missing, and I think some of the remaining ones are incorrect. Some of the paths shown seemed misleading and I think many hole distances are longer than what is shown on the sign, or on here. It isn't a terribly long course, but a bit longer than shown I think.
There are also no Next Tee signs, and a couple places where incorrect tees are more visible than the correct tee to proceed to. It would be easy to play the wrong hole if not paying attention. There was also no course map posted on the kiosk, and the layout has been updated since the map here was posted.
The walk from hole 5's basket to hole 6's tee is up a steep hill. Some stairs would be a nice safety improvement. Also, a couple tees are too close to the previous basket for my liking.
Other than hole 6 which plays on a gradual downhill, the course is pretty much flat. It's not pancake flat, but flat enough that elevation isn't a major factor.
There aren't any open holes to really air out a long drive, if that is your thing. Also, a couple of the holes are so tight that it feels like poke and hope especially approaching the basket.
No practice basket.
Road noise from the highway can be heard throughout the course, detracting from the aesthetic a bit. The exception is the holes near the creek where the noise from that drowns it out.
Other Thoughts:
There is solid cell phone service here.
On a personal note, this was my first course ever played outside of my home state of Michigan. I know what you are probably thinking...why not Wisconsin or Indiana or Ohio? I will get there eventually, but my girlfriend and I decided to go on a trip to Alaska so I decided I had to get a couple rounds in!
Through that lens, I can say that this course provides a solid introduction to disc golf in Alaska. It is easy to reach from Anchorage and accessible for all skill levels. It is somewhere you can bring a non-DGer and they will probably still have a good time walking through the beautiful birch forest.
With better signage I would have given a 4.0. it would take a redesign using the creek and elevation around the edges of the property more for me to raise my score higher than that. But while that would make it a better option for serious DGers, it might detract from the experience for recreational players on vacation. As is, this course provides a fun round in a beautiful location. My recommendation: Play it!
