Solid and challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 14, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-wide variety of shot shapes
-diversity of fairways (open, wooded, elevated)
-scenic views of the surrounding mountains

Cons:

-gravel tee pads make it difficult to get solid footing
-somewhat difficult to navigate, hole 8's tee pad not obvious from hole 7's pin, as well as hole 21's tee pad from hole 20's pin
-older baskets on certain holes that can chew up discs if you hit the top band
-lots of blind shots off the tee

Other Thoughts:

This is a challenging course with most holes being moderate-to-long. Even some of the shorter par 3's are made more challenging with a demanding gap or tight green. The baskets are usually visible from a short walk from the tee, but some holes are very blind and will require walking almost the whole fairway to see the basket. The fairways are mostly well defined with an overall lack of "sniper branches".
My main gripe about this course is the gravel tee pads. It's difficult to get good footing and transfer power into your shot when you're basically walking through sand.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Has a variety of holes.
Not overcrowded.
Most holes were fun and challengingm

Cons:

Tall grass on quite a few holes.
One hole I spent 10 minutes trying to find my disc within a 5 ft radius of the hole.
Being from out of state, we stopped at the desk to get directions to the #1 tee, it took 4 people before one knew they even had a course.

Other Thoughts:

Played with my 8 year old daughter who liked the course, but the lack of fairways on most holes punished her short shots by forcing us to dig through the grass. It wouldn't take much for the course to be in good shape though. It isn't too bad if you have long accurate shots though.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 24, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Hidden away in a YMCA ranch so theres no crowds. Good technical tree shots. Huge wide open shots too.

Cons:

Signs could be better and some baskets have the wrong number on them which makes things more confusing. Dirt tees and funky home made baskets.

Other Thoughts:

Once you figure the course out its one of the best in the area.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 9, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Course 20 holes. Look for hole 7B after #7 and then a long tee for #8. Wooden stakes in the ground point to the next tee. Course sometimes changes due to logging, but there are still plenty of pines to get stuck in. Medium length course; longest hole about 450' and the shortest about 230'. Nice elevation change and beautiful scenery. Fun, challenging course.

Cons:

No really tight wooded holes but still easy to lose a disc if you don't watch it. Course sometimes changes so watch for the wooden stakes in the ground that point to the next tee. Sometimes they are hard to see at first.
