-Great shot variety
-Elevated/hanging/protected baskets
-Quiet and secluded (by reservation only)

-Can be difficult to navigate first time (No maps, inconsistent signs)
-Varied Tee pads, concrete, rubber, dirt

I hadn't realized this course was by reservation only. We wound up driving up to this dudes house looking for where to park for the first hole. We happened to catch him loading his car. He told us we could play, he was really nice about the whole thing.

The amount of work Edan has done on this course is obvious and impressive. There are multiple courses, maybe 4 or 5? He suggested we play the red as first timers. He has made an effort to make it navigable, putting colored tape on the rim of the baskets to direct you to the next hole. Unfortunately a lot of the tape has faded so there is a lot of, is that red or pink? We did get a good workout scouting to find the basket or the next hole, but only one or two holes gave us any real difficulty.

Overall, this course was awesome. There is a great balance between open enough fairways and wooded protection. There are no dramatic elevation changes but definitely enough to be aware that you are not playing a flat course. The flow of the layout is super fun with some really unique lines. I found myself using most of the discs in my bag, hyzer and anhyzer, backhand and forehand.

Overall I was super impressed with the thought and execution that went into creating this course. I don't think I would head back to Homer without planning on playing one of his other courses. Thanks Edan.

-Great variety with multiple layouts offering shot selections like none other. You will be forced to find your way through and around exquisite pine forest terrain with lines that really make you work a disc.
- The amount of thought that went into each hole is apparent. Often two or more lines are given to a tricky green making one really consider landing zones from the box.
- Executed lines are rewarded with a clear and reasonable path on every hole.

- The rough is rough, but that's usually user error. Spotters are very helpful for the first round on any given layout and will save much time searching for discs.

This was the most enjoyable course I played on my trip to Alaska, and Kincaid was nice, but the challenge, overall vibe and Alaskan feel the Pretzel offered was second to none.

- challenging layouts
- multiple pin placements
- multiple tees
- mostly rubber mats to throw from
- multiple layouts
- good mix of hole lengths
- variations in elevations
- lots of risk vs reward
- low traffic
- free camping

- some natural tees
- confusing layout
- blind pins
- needs spotters
- easy to lose a disc
- pay to play (well worth it)

Honestly, I didn't exactly know what to expect from the course on my first visit at this course. I thought maybe Lou could have embellished how good the course is/was, but he actually nailed it with his review. It was a pleasant surprise to say the least. Moose Pretzel's eclectic arrangement of elevated baskets, creative assortment of alternate tees and fairways, plus the risk/reward mix make great use of the 40 some odd acres of unique landscape. After throwing all 4 layouts during my trip to Homer (pink twice), I can confidently say that this course is one of my all time favorites.

Navigation can be pretty tough, especially on the tee pads with blind pin placements. If you're not careful the rough will eat up errant throws. Finding the next tee between holes can be equally as tough. Pro tip: If you look close you'll notice each basket with have electrical tape facing the direction of the next tee. I had the luxury of playing every round with at least someone that knew the layout, but even then we had some difficulties. Watch out for bears, moose, and be prepared to battle bugs.

It's hard rate a course like this because it is so different than what I would call a traditionally great course. The course lacks quality tees, placards with distances, and has a complicated layout. These are the biggest cons. I don't think most baskets are numbered either. Everything else about the course was amazing. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. The fairways mainly require the ability to throw straight 300-400 feet. If you can do that paired with the occasional hyzer bomb or massive sky anny over the tree line, you'll have a fun time. Lower level/power players will probably have a more frustrating time. Some fairways have tall bushes that obstruct paths to the basket that power players can easily bypass.

The course forced me to use my whole bag, which is always a good sign. Each color layout was like playing a completely different course. I especially liked how blue layout is the red layout played backward.

Great course, the holes were awesome, nice pins and the tees were pretty clear. Great terrain and the difficulty makes competition fun and enjoyable.

Needs to be cleared and the trails were a little iffy if they were the right direction or not. The map that was given didn't show the flight path, but just were the general direction of the pin.

If the tees were better marked and the flight path was given, this course would be a 5*. Edan wasn't there due to Championships in Anchorage and would have been nice to play a round with him and have him show us were the pro tees were. They let us have Brutus their dog follow us, which was nice due to the nature setting and possible bear interaction. He took off when it started to rain. lol!
