Pros:
Exercise. This course is on the side of a mountain. It is not "hilly", it is steep. If you're out of shape like me, this course will kick your butt!
Having said that, there a ton of positives to this course. Concrete tee pads, new baskets, and signage is now up with distance and alternate pin locations.
Most holes play along dirt roads/walking paths, with many that go from one tier of the mountain to the next. On almost every hole you are either climbing or descending 30-50 ft. If you make a wild throw, double that.
Lots of elevation change is an understatement. Only 4 of the 18 holes are flat. Good variety of shots and distances.
Most of the shots aren't as scary as they may seem from the tee. A couple blind tee shots had me worried, but aiming in the general direction of the sign worked out fine. Most holes are fairly wide open as you approach the pin.
Some of my favorite shots required hanging my drive off over the edge of the mountain and fading back into the mountain towards the pin.
There are no water hazards, but the elevation is your water. #10 is an awesome downhill drive, but if your disc starts to fade down the mountain you will not want to go get it.
A full, padded 18 hole course in Provo just a few miles from old Bicentennial. It is one of a kind and had it all to myself.
Cons:
This isn't a course for the casual disc golfer. When the hardcore trail runners passed by looking at me like "what the heck are you doing out here", I knew I was in for a workout.
The disc golf almost becomes secondary to the hiking. Water is a must! Course has lots of dirt and rocks. Your discs will probably get some dings.
Too much elevation change? 8 uphill holes is a lot to me and it seemed too repetitive at points. I wished there were more flat holes sprinkled in.
Other Thoughts:
This course is a good example of high risk, high reward. Holes are Birdie-able, but require taking a more aggressive line that may send you hiking. Play it safe and you should be able to par most holes.
For some this course will be a favorite, for others unplayable. As I was playing, I saw 2 cars pull up and drive off so.... not for everyone. As for me, can't wait to go back.
