Sweet gem in the mountains 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Sweet lines all over the place while traversing a local ski hill. Seriously, this is now one of my favorite mountain courses. I play Pro Masters at 49 years old I have a ton of experience -well over 100 course in at least 20 states- & I expected from the numerous short holes to come in at around -13. Well, I gave myself a chance with 16 birdie looks but some light wind carried a few putts just off chains for a 46 or -8. Crazy different lines off of every tee box; I was blown away at the variety. Hole #2 is one of my favorite tee shots in the whole state; It's a tight hyzer line say felonesque, or a sweet up n over anny putter shot around a beautiful tree. I almost emptied my bag from the tee box. My high anhyzer putter over annyed a bit & came up short but I cashed a my second uphill jump putt in a row to start off -2. I could throw that hole for a whole day over and over again. There are so many other unique tee shots that I will make the trip back again this summer, hopefully with a crew. I'm gunning for -13 next time again and I think since I know the course a bit now, if I throw nearly perfect (for me) I could get it. Disc golf does not need to be a bomb fest to be fun. This is REAL mountain disc golf where you need to have control of a full bag of discs and shots to score well. I am not proficient at forehand but was forced to take 2 forehand tee shots & luckily bagged 1 bird out of the two. Big arms have no advantage here, but if you can move and flip and turn discs putters, middies & drivers into heads winds and deal with tailwinds, and you can throw a smooth shot and hit your line, then this is as fun as it gets in the mountains anywhere. Stunning views.

Cons:

Tee boxes need more sponsors. Not bad at $300 lifetime sponsorship. Some dirt tee pads were pretty rough and some were uphill which I hate but respect as I am not very smooth throwing hard moving uphill on the box. A couple lines seem unfinished and need a few branches cleared for maximum playability. One of the holes on the back nine was such a crazy steep drop-off left. say a 240' shot but down 90' in elevation and dang- what a tee shot, but the walk down the scree field of rocks was pretty insane and I had to scoot in a few spots out of fear of taking a nice tumble down the mountain.

Other Thoughts:

Worth the drive from wherever.

Amazing short course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Short, technical, elevation changes, nice tee markers, not to hard to find your way around. Great for technical shots! Great for younger players. Hole 12 rocks!

Cons:

no clear direction on where to go, download a map before you try it.

Other Thoughts:

We randomly came across this course while visiting Lake city CO and we are pleasantly surprised! First of, we have a 6 year old that loves discgolf and he loved the course. The weather is great in the summer time.

Get your Hiking Boots on 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Challenging Holes and tight fairways on many holes
Elevation changes adds difficulty
Vegetation is natural adding challenge

Cons:

tee boxes are dirt and hard to find
many of the holes do not have tee markers, in particular on the ski hill
natural so lots of ant piles, lots of climbing in thin air

Other Thoughts:

fun course but could use some TLC to become even better, but good course for this beginner level and it is a challenge, but could be better

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2016 Played the course:once

Cons:

Many/most of the holes still have no signs, frequently making it difficult to find the next hole. Gravel/dirt tees. Baskets are not yellow, so they can be difficult to find as well. Many ant nests so sandals not recommended.

Other Thoughts:

We didn't play the whole course, but the layout seemed awkward for many of the holes (inefficient). First reviewer was fairly accurate in his description, but we didn't agree with his rating at all. A 2.0 is more than generous.

Fun & Challenging w/ Spectacular Views 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 18, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Technically challenging. Lots of Trees
Elevation changes. Cool up and down holes.
Unbelievable views of the Lake Fork valley and Lake City.

Cons:

Rocky soil beats up discs.
Layout on a couple holes a little questionable; ie. a little hiking, but pretty well marked.

Other Thoughts:

Probably plays a little short for experienced players.
If you are short on time the 'original 9' is the cream of the course: 1,2,8,9,10,11,13,17,18
