Pros:
- Course is set on the side of the foothills surrounding SLC, well away from any of the other park activities. Shouldn't be any chance of interference here.
- Best feature of the course is the elevation changes; they aren't too extreme overall, but they are ever present. The first four holes play up the hillside in varying degrees, and #8 is a good uphill as well. #9 plays over a deep valley, #5 is a bit downhill, #10 is very much downhill, and #6 has a brutally nasty slope on the right to go over. Traversing the course itself takes a lot of ups and downs.
- There aren't many trees to speak of, but there are lots of nasty bushes and giant patches of rough to work around. #1 is either a short RHBH anny/thumber or longer hyzer, #2 is either a short blind flick or a long straight shot, #3 is a blind spike hyzer uphill over a giant patch of rough, #7 is a tunnel shot off the tee with a hyzer finish, and #10 is a straight downhill shot with rough right and long. Lots and lots of blind pin positions.
- Very good mix of hole lengths, there are four holes over 350', and three holes under 250'. Everything from drivers to putters will be needed here.
- Good signs, concrete pads (except #7), and baskets. Navigation can be a little tricky, like getting from #6 to #7; map is helpful the first time through.
Cons:
- The foliage here doesn't offer many distinct lines that have to be hit, with a few exceptions, bigger arms will be able to simply go over everything without much thought. For everyone else, it's a matter of staying out of the schule.
Other Thoughts:
- Pretty fun course overall, the elevation changes really go a long way. Enough trouble to get into to make each hole tricky and different from the others. Good variety in length and shapes as well. But, the open air above the bushes take a lot of the challenge away.
- Great for beginners and intermediate players, advanced players should have fun but will be able to easily cruise through.
