A stunning view with very complicated golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 30, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

--This course is beautiful. You are surrounded by a complete vista of the all the famous, towering red canyon walls classically associated with the Zion area.
--The baskets catch well, and although they are not in perfect shape and are not known as amazing baskets they do their jobs nicely and look amazing with the landscape.
--There are many unique and fun basket positions. Some baskets may have no base at all and are perched on tree stumps and other are on bolder on a steep hillside. This can lead to unusual putts witch are always fun.
--This course has bathrooms available and seems to be never crowded.

Cons:

-- This course has one main con. That is that is is IMPOSSIBLE to follow. The first 3 (4?) holes are easy to follow due to the fact that there are directions on this very course page. But after that... there is no way to know what basket you are shooting to. After hole 3 or 4 you are standing in a parking lot area with no apparent tees and 5 baskets you can be shooting to. One of the main things that threw us of what the fact that this page says that this course has 6 holes but there are 9 baskets. That is one of the reasons that I am confused on what hole 3 and 4 are because in the directions on the page it says that hole 3 tees from the piles of rocks but there seems to be another hole squeezed into the layout.
--There is no tees and no signage. You simply must have someone with knowledge of the course if you deiced to play here.
--From what we can tell none of the shots are long. All shots being under 250 or so. Now I can not confirm this because we don't have any knowledge on this because we don't know how the course is supposed to be played but the way the baskets are is seems that you are shooting from very short distances from one basket to the other. If there is a longer shot then many "fairways" or seemingly fitting shots would be cut off and it would just become even more confusing.
--On one of the baskets (we played it as hole 9) there is a sea of stickers that get stuck in you socks and are uncomfortable and painful. You can solve this by wearing pants because the sun is trying to kill you and you become very very hot.
--This course isn't very well maintained. It seems that after the baskets were put in the project lost steam and the baskets were left in the field to rust.

Other Thoughts:

This course could be something. It really has so much potential and it would be so easy to make this course a place that people would really enjoy. All that needs to be done is someone who has some knowledge of the course needs to go out there with some steaks with numbers or even some spray painted rocks with little numbers on them to make tees. This looks like a really fun course if you know how its supposed to go but if you aren't a part of that minority they you will be confused and frustrated. If this course dose get some tee markers then this course would got form a 1.5 to probably a 3 or so. If that dose happen please message so i can fix this review. If you are in the area with some discs and some spare time sure come give and this course a visit and see if you can figure it out, but don't bring a beginner here and deferentially do not come out of your way to play here.
